Einstine

I have a pop up on my iGoogle page that gives me a quote by Einstine every day. I like it, and think that he was a pretty smart guy, so why not read a quote by him once and a while...

This was today's quote:

"I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war. "

I thought that it was interesting, because of the recent Memorial Day. Food for thought.

Service

Thanks to all those who served, or are now serving in the armed forces! Thanks to my sister for her ability to always say the right thing to make me cry. Thanks to the freinds that I have had the honnor to be associated with who also serve in the Army. They are all great people. So everyone knows how my sister writes, here is what she wrote to make me cry...

Dear Everyone in my Address Book,
I know that some of you got this from my dad and some of you don't know my dad. I just wanted to tell a quick story about Jim Landerman...my Dad. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War (although he was blessed enough not to have to serve in combat) He served in the Army and National Guard. He gave me my name and first priesthood blessing on this country's 200th anniversary July 4th 1976. Some of you know that I don't like to forward things too often but I hope this touches you as it did me. The pictures of the soldiers could easily be our husbands, fathers, sons, or brothers. Thank you to my dad for giving me a deep love for our country and way of life; and thank you to my brother who has been to Iraq and Korea in the past 5 years and knows the emotions of leaving your family to protect thier way of life. God bless all those men and women who have yet to come home.This link should take you to a video. Grab a tissue.

What did I tell you? She is the best. I am truly grateful as well to all of those that serve. Yet, somehow thank you is not enough to bring back all the tears, sweat, and the time spent away from loved ones, but Thank You just the same.

I love my friends and family!!!!

So, i have been surfing the net the last while, and I ran on to my old roomies blogg. I love Steph!!!!!!!! She was a gift form God. I needed a friend that would play the safety dance song @ 10 at night, and introduce things that were "life altering!" (like frozen hot chocolate, horchatta, fresh salsa, and the importance of Mexican food in my diet...) As i think about the last year, i am a little sad... i think i should be in a different place in my life, but with out all of the people that i care about, i would NOT be the person i am today. So, THANK YOU!!!! Thanks to all of the roomies, crushes, loves and not to mention family, that love me for me. I am a better person to know all of you! I am grateful for the lessons learned, tears shed, hugs given, kisses stolen, and lifes changed because i know you. I hope that 28 is the best year yet! I don't know what this year will bring, but i will be a better person next year at this time.

A word of thanks to my parents. WOW!! do they love me! I am grateful that this family is together forever because they fell in love. I am truly grateful to my mother, for her faith and prayers when i was so small. Thanks to dad, for using the priesthood to bless my life.

Ultimately the Lord gets all the thanks of my heart. I love Him. and am grateful to be here learning and growing in His time table.

So here's to being 28!!!

Am I really that Old??

So, I know that 28 DOESN'T sound that old to most of you out there, but to me it is!!! As I think about my life and where I pictured myself @ 28, I thought that I would be a lot farther along than this... I really thought that I would be married and have about 3.4 kids by now. So, i guess that the Lord had something entirely different in mind for me. So, here I am working with the young women and loving it, and trying to be a better future wife of a returned missionary, but is that really in the plan?? i have to wonder some times... So, life is defiantly not where I planned to be, but as far as the Lord is concerned, I guess I am where He wants me to be, so I will just keep going on, and doing what's right. I guess that sometimes I get weary in doing what I feel I should, so I need to take the council that I heard today to heart, and to just keep going. I am so blessed to be here, at home, learning, in a free country, and just to be alive!! So, when that is all said and done, 28 is not too bad. :)

Grandpa Park

So this weekend is my Grandpa's 80th Birthday... We are having a party for him, and I am excited to see my family. My brilliant aunts and mother decided to put together a scrap book of stories and pictures from us to him. So this is a medow lark. It's song goes, "carrie ann is a pretty little girl." My grandpa used to sing it to me when we would be picking strawberries. (my favorite!) I have come to find out that I was not the only one that he would do this to, but that he would change your name to fit the song of the bird's, no matter what your name is. Wow! I love my grandpa! He is a very patent man, and an example of love to me. So, thanks grandpa!! for all that you do!! I love you!

Aunt Eva

So, my aunt eva has given me the incentive to update my blogg. I am also on my space and facebook... if you want the addresses comment me and i will give them to you all. So brittany has started a landerman famly blogg and is under that name, i think. so to update. I am still living at home and liking it enough to save money to move back to texas. I am working at olive garden still and comming up on three years. I want to be a manager but, not untill i get other things in order. I am visiting idaho with the folks for grandpa's 80th b-day, and am excited to be here for that. I am also glad for the vacation from work. I have been training new servers a lot and that is a lot of work. So to answer the question that is burnning on your minds... NO, i am not married, if i was everyone would know about it. I don't even have a boyfriend. So that explains why i acceped the calling to be the second counsoler in the YW presidancy. So i guess that that sums it up... Oh and my video collection has about 200 videos in it.. i am a movie junkie.. can you tell?? any way, that is it, and Yes katie, i will call you when it is not midnight when i get off work.. and i miss you too!!!
