Life and Love and Why

I never planned on blogging on a regular basis, but it seems it's been a while since the last time I posted. Every once in a while I sit down and think I'll write something but I never know what to go with - there's just so much going on and I don't know what to say, or if I even want to say anything at all.
Life has been incredibly hard and confusing, and as my dad has said, 2007 just isn't our year. Our family has been ill, within a few months both an uncle and aunt have passed away, half our family is looking for work, and I'm not quite sure where I'm headed this next year.
Even though things are hard I have been so happy to spend the last two weeks with my family. SOOOOO happy. Just spending time with them is amazing. Camping for Thanksgiving (even though we got evacuated - we were camping in the hills in Malibu), playing Mille Bornes with my mom and sisters, messing around on the beach with my nephew, coming home to music blasting out of the house and my dad sitting there chilling with Phil Lesh or Aaron Neville or what have you. Even though we all came together for my aunt's memorial service, hanging out with all my aunts and uncles and cousins makes things so much better, too. They make me so happy, and I can't imagine where I would be without my family. And I don't want to.


Random note: I had temporarily titled this post "Life" and looking at it I remembered an old Switchfoot song - Life And Love And Why. I loved that CD when I was 14.
