Between convincing my Mom that she and my Dad were not going to live in a cardboard box and meeting Amee, the girl Micah is going to be married to next summer, I had a pretty interesting fourth of July. Let me explain..
All the job leads my Dad had basically fell through and their house isn't selling. My Mom is really depressed and is crying all the time and saying that she won't have a house for her grandkids to come visit and I am trying to convince her that grandkids don't remember houses they remember spending time with their grandparents. It was all depressing and I felt like I couldn't do anything.
I'm also having a hard time with this whole Micah being engaged thing. Maybe its because he is like my brother and I feel like I am losing him, or maybe its because she is 18 and does not talk, or maybe I am just a little jealous. But still I know I need to be supportive and give Amee all the pointers of dealing with the Yost boys I can...its just so hard.
I think God puts little things in our lives that mean a ton so amidst the crap we can see them more. While watching the fireworks on Sunday night a little girl named faith was sitting in front of me. Her parents kept telling her to sit down and watch the fireworks, she kept saying "They're not over here, Whats the big deal?" Then after a little bit she said tapped me on the shoulder and said "Hi, my name is faith, look the water is turning blue." The was a huge fountain that was changing colors but no one was watching cause of the fireworks, but she was superglued to it...it was beautiful. I think maybe all we need is a little faith to help us get through..or at least some glimpses of it. And more than ever now I am needing faith in my life, faith my parents will make it, faith that Micah and Amee being engaged will bring us closer to them. just faith..somehow.

You know what I do when I need faith? I read my favorite quote in the whole world:
"When life gives you shit, just say, Fuck it! and eat yourself some motherfucking candy!" -Dave Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty One Day
... K, but in all seriousness, I hope your family and the Yost family realizes how luck they are to have you. I know things are rough right now, but you are doing a great job trying to make the best of it. I wish I could do the same half as well as you do! And try the candy thing - it helps, honest! ;)

AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! GOOD NEWS!
So my sister Michelle got my mom and I tickets to go to a Neil Diamond concert on July 25th. That's a Monday, so we're going to Lincoln for the weekend. Or rather, my mom is going to Lincoln and I'm going to Omaha to stay with my sister so we can go out on Saturday night. Any chance you want to join us? I can give you a ride from Lincoln to Omaha on Saturday, but we don't go back to Lincoln until Tuesday so it might be tricky getting back. Anyway, since this is my official bday bash (one month AFTER the fact), just thought I would see if you could come. Let me know, k?
