Crap, everytime I talk to Matt or Dad in Idaho I feel like balling my eyes out. Matt brought up me coming down in the summer and- I think I will right a pro-con list. Already I know there are more pros.
Pro:
1. Thinking about other people besides myself:
-Granpa Jacky has cancer and my great-grandmother is ninety-six; I should see them when I can.
-Sue, Matt,Dad-I love them all so much and they enter such a small part of my life
2. People:
-I could get to know Christine better
-I would get to spend time with Jan,Pat, and Jaylynn as well as see Shelby every now and then
-Grandma and Grandpa
-Aunt Lori
3. I could easily get an eight to five job there and Matt said he could drive me.
Dad would let me work for him in a second
4. I know it is the right thing but I have been resisting
5. Ministry field
6. Bless others with my presence
7. Have money from job and it would be easier to get a job there
8. Warm weather, properly landscaped surroundings, gorgeous canyon to walk in, trips to the south hills and the cabin, coy
9. A better relationship with Sue
10. I really want to, outside of obligation
11. really, I would be bored out of my mind if I stayed up here.
Cons:
1. Not seeing my friends
2. Could be spiritually draining
3. Not attending church
4. really, I have no excuse
I felt horribly guilty about not going down in the spring. I have to go in the summer and really, thats not a bad thing. Over have of my family is down there and I feel horrible when I hardly know them and what is going on in their lives. I have been thinking only of myself when it comes going down. I feel better knowing what I need to do. And who cares if I have doubts sometimes.

Other things:
-Earlier this week I had a crying/mental breakdown because I felt wierd and self conscious and wierd. There was probably some other stuff.
-Some ladies from church blessed us with food for the week
-I started 1984 and it is weird.
-At the moment I don't have much to say, I'm tired and slightly drained so I'll go.

Aww. If you went down to Idaho would you be gone the whole summer, or most of it? Having read your list I think it would be a good idea to go... I'm sure we'll have time to get together before or after or something like that, and if you can use a computer you can blog or email us and we'll keep in touch. As for spiritually draining, if you want, I'll pray for you come summer when you're down there. <3
