Let the Summer Begin!!

I woke up this morning to a beautiful, sunny day...glorious!

Since my last post, many things have happened.

On, I think it was April 26, I dont remember the date exactly, but I went to a Starfield concert that ended, well actually started - since it was right after their opening song - in disaster. The floor collapsed under hundreds of people and many, including my friend Min fell through the floor down fifteen feet to the basement. I was still upstairs on the balcony at the time and about to go down to join the crowds when it happened. So many people were traumatized and I felt bad because I was having an adrenalin rush. I dont know what it is, but there's something about disasters that excite me. I ran downstairs to try and help out since I've got first aid, but they wouldnt let anyone into the sanctuary and the crowds were rushing out. I've been to several places now where ambulances have been called and I get so excited - it makes me want to be a paramedic - something to think about...

My friend Min also lost her dad the Thursday night before mother's day in a car accident. She lost her mom to cancer last year on mother's day, so this is an even bigger blow to her. Please keep her and her brother in your prayers as they have become orphans in less than a year.

Please also pray for Jackie and her family as they have to deal with the loss of her t13-year-old sister Angie to a short battle with cancer.

It's been a rough couple weeks in a lot of ways, but I'm also having a blast with friends, enjoying the weather, and working at an easy job. (I'm still debating whether or not to take the promotion to manager at work since it means an extra hour of work or so for each shift and I might not be able to get as much time off...still not sure)

Hope everyone is having good times as the weather gets better and there's no school to be had. (apologies to those taking summer classes - that sucks)
