Mitch's little brother, Jeremy, leaves for the MTC today. Well looking at the clock, I suppose now he has arrived. 2 long years! It is hard to think that when he gets back I will have a near 5 year old...for the LDS church I would have never moved to Utah, gone to university, met my husband, had 2 beautiful children with my husband, etc. So again, thankfulness for that. hahaha! Good Luck Jeremy

I was given this by my cousin. All I have to say is... WOW http://i38.tinypic.com/11lo747.jpg

Sometimes I'm goaded into debating. It has to be an issue I'm passionate about. for some reason, I'm especially concerned about Gay Rights.

But its that i just found out an old friend of mine, from middle school, became a mormon Gave me the shivers.  I have nothing against any religions at ALL, but I have not so good memories about them. Lots of pictures of Utah religious sightseeings kinda creeped me out.   Still like her, no matter what. A good friend...

... but it's just not the saaame. I'm on blogger now ( http://karimathias.blogspot.com ), so I guess I don't really need LJ anymore, but it's nice having a place where I don't really HAVE to be the Good Mormon Girl all the time.

...the third floor of our building, two guys live on the second, and Killian Skarr and his Beloved live on the first floor. One of the guys on the second floor is Beloved's brother, and the other is a Mormon that keeps entirely to himself and rarely interacts with anyone else.
