I stumbled across this blog: http://themcclenahans.blogspot.com/, through one of my friends on Facebook. WARNING, it is very sad. I later found out that the members of this family are the good friends of the sister of a good friend of mine. (I'm sorry that is so convoluted, but I'm trying to protect people's privacy, since they're not people I usually mention on here.) Anyway, I thought about and prayed for this family as I read through their story, and saw my former Wichita life through parts of their experience.
Today, I read their blog and found a link to this: http://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism/love-is-a-movement-the-cora-project-3450/. It reminded me why I love Kansas and being a Kansan. People are so kind and so real, and it is beautiful.

Q & A
My friend Craig posted this on his blog, and though he didn't "tag" me, he did mention in one of the questions that I might be likely to fill it out, so as not to disappoint, here are my answers:
1. Do you like blue cheese? Yes, in small quantities.
2. Have you ever smoked cigarettes? Not in quite a while, but yes.
3. Do you own a gun? No, but I'd really like to learn to shoot. (But I still don't think I'd like to own a gun. I'd like to rent one from a shooting range or borrow one from the shooting range or something along those lines.)
4. What flavor of Kool Aid was your favorite? Lime or Cherry.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Yes, sometimes so much so that it messes with my blood pressure. That doesn't happen much now that I have a doctor I fairly trust.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? Yummy!
7. Favorite Christmas movie? It's a Wonderful Life.
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Coffee with creamer.
9. Can you do push ups? Yes, but I can only do like 2 "real" push ups. I can do more of the "girly" kind, on my knees.
10. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? My engagement ring and my cross necklace. And my wedding ring. And my pearl necklace. And my two rings from James Avery. (I don't even wear that much jewelry, but I have a lot of favorites, apparently.) (And for some reason, that answer won't un-bold, but this little note will. Hmm.)
11. Your favorite hobby? Being with family and friends. Reading.
12. Do you have A.D.D.? Nope.
13. What's one trait you hate about yourself? Lack of self-control. (And I would say I'm very frustrated about it. I try not to hate myself.)
14. Middle name? Anne
15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment? 1.) I need to do homework. 2.) I need to do lesson plans. 3.) My head hurts.
16. Current hate right now? My cold.
17. Favorite place to be? Home, particularly GC home with Joe.
18. How did you bring in the New Year? I drank champagne with Joe and my Mom.
19. Where would you like to go? The beach. Ireland. Prince Edward Island.
20. Name three people who will complete this? Joe, Betsy, and Craig. (Craig already did!)
21. Do you own slippers? Yes, two pairs. I'm wearing one pair now.
22. What shirt are you wearing? A K-State sweatshirt.
23. Do you like sleeping on satin? I've never slept on satin, but I'm going to say no. I like cotton sheets.
24. Can you whistle? Yes.
25. Would you be a pirate? Probably not. Too dirty.
26. What songs do you sing in the shower? Usually whatever is on Joe's alarm when we wake up.

29. What's in your pocket right now? Nada.
