From an e-mail I got...a cute "awww" thing...but these are all true things, and for some reason, really mean something to me tonight.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die
for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

11. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it...but keep believing in yourself, and I bet that, sooner or later, you will get it.

12. Always remember the compliments you received. Throw away the rude remarks.

13. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you'll feel much better when they know.

14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

haha. I hope I'm not known as the elmwoodstrip.com loser who puts up sappy away messages. =0) Although I suppose I have fit that category quite well..

By the way, Mike, we need to do some shopping down South asap...you raised an excellent point!

Chinatown, Seattle style.


Some Chamber Screamers in the press conference room of the Seattle Mariners.


I guess this is some famous landmark of Seattle?! =0P


This is us looking up at the ceiling in the Seattle Experience Music Project...their version of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Actually I never made it past the gift shop. But the restaurant was good. And the ceiling was neat.


Prom picture! Well, actually Chris and I in our Chamber Singers gear. What cuties.


One of the several "artistic" photographs that Pat took of my eyes in the rearview on our way to the city one day. Ooooh, deep.


The original Starbucks!

Ok well those are the most interesting ones I thought to put up but I'll probably put more random pictures up because I am obsessed with them all!

p.s. did anyone else notice i ended two entries in a row (almost) with going to eat with my sister? ...wacko.
