hi, i came back. hello.
the lilacs are out and they smell sweet. i cut my hair.
for work we zoom about in a little jet. it holds six people. i was the co-pilot the other day and it was very fun. i got to wear a head set and adjust some knobs and learn about auto-pilot and how to land a plane without going in too fast/slow/or steep. we were going about 300 miles per hour and we were 30,000 feet in the air. i was enjoying it so much more than anybody else there. i don't know if it's just because i live a somewhat boring life, or because i'm easily entertained...but i thought it was a kick.
i watched a nature special about loggerhead sea turtles. they can travel over 9,000 miles to find the beach that they were born on so they can lay their eggs. and they are not fast animals. as i was flying in the plane, i was so disoriented. can you even imagine how it is for this turtle in the open ocean? there's no landmarks, they can only poke their heads out of the water for a moment, and their eyesight is poor. they do it by instinct and magnetic fields. they just chug chug chug along. amazing.

Becca,
You're back!! You got to ride a jet. You lucky lucky lucky person. It sounds like this job might work out after all. I'm so happy!! Witch with sideways boobs,
Jeremy
becca. the sad news is that i don't really know what's going on with you and your life anymore. i think you get my sometimes weekly emails that i send out to family and friends about us reeders, yes? i hope you do and if you do, you know much more about me at this point in our lives than i know about you. i am now in utah and if you're not off flying jets all the time, i'd really like to get together with you and possibly even beth and melanie and have a little girls' night. you know? that would be awesome. then i could find out what this jet business is that you're interested in these days- sounds fascinating, but the last i heard, you were working at an optimologist's (spelling) office. i love you becca.
becca. i talked to yer dad on sunday- he was visiting kyle's fam's ward. he told me you still work in the eye business but that you get to ride in jets and deliver stuff. he also said something about the pilots not only being pilots, but also being eye doctors- what a bunch of smarties to be able to do all that. i'm happy that you are happy flying them jets.
tye
hey becca. I always wished I could be a sea turtle
