Change

Everyone needs a moment to be stunned and realize: in a moment, your life as you knew it could be lost because of one or a few bad decisions.  We found out yesterday that someone we knew in Logan pretty much has the rest of his life destroyed because of a few bad decisions he made.  And it's not just his life he's ruined, but his family's and his wife's.  I don't mean to minimize the bad decision because it was a huge bad decision.  But it makes you ask, "Is this 10 minute moment worth the sacrifice of the rest of my life?"  All I can hope is the people I know and love have enough sense to not do something so stupid.  And it's hard when you find out that assumption was a bad assumption with someone you knew.  More on the story can be found here:  Child Porn Arrests.

Anyways, life is good for me.  Jared came home from his vacation.  He's still in loe with me, and I love him.  So, we're happy.

We go on vacation in three weeks.  We'll be going to the Smoky Mountains.  Jared's never seen the Smokies.  We'll be staying in the #1 tourist attraction:  Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  It's an annual trip my family used to do.  Only, I haven't been able to join them since I went to college.  We'll be joining them this year.  Only we'll be driving south while they drive north.  And we'll meet somewhere in the middle (even though Jared and I have twice the longer drive than them).  But it'll be fun.  I'm excited.
