oh what a day..

Today was sublime! My three hour lab this morning happened to take a field trip to the Mendenhall Glacier and we were fortunate enough to walk along some of the trails. The trip consisted of taking GPS locations of how far the Mendenhall Glacier covered from 1786 to present day. After class I came back and cleaned the entire kitchen of my apartment before going downtown with some friends. I had read about the "Before I die I want to _______________." bulletins, but I never thought I would see one. Well, today was the day! And after thinking long and hard about what to write, only one thing came to mind.

I'm sure not many people have heard this story, but I'll share it anyways. Once upon a time I told my dad I was in love, and he insisted that I didn't know what love was. And just like most dad's, he was right. He could've been a little less harsh in his explanation about how I was too naive to understand the complexities of love, but nonetheless he was right. He recited 1st Corinthians 13 to me, and I've never forgotten it. The whole verse gives a simple but descriptive explanation about what love is and it ends with.."and these three remain, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Anyways, it would be a great honor to say that I have experienced the love that my dad recited to me, the love I know my parents share. So, before I die I want to fall in love.
