Ok fellas, here's the deal... I've never blogged before and to be honest I've never wanted to. But, after creating my super cute page, I got way excited! So now for all my of my super insightful ideas and thoughts (as if people want to hear).

I feel kind of silly taking a family relations class because I am an accounting major but it has become my favorite class! It's something that I can actually get passionate about (who would've thought tax accounting is the most boring thing on the face of the earth?) The things we talk about in class have weighed heavily on my mind for quite a while. I just think that society is starting to seriously suck. It's like everyone is so sad and everyone has all these weird diseases and all we hear about on the news is crimes and murders and super sad things... WHERE ARE THE HAPPY PEOPLE?! I don't think it's a coincidence that there is a rise in all of these things at the same time that society is dismissing the importance of the family.

People don't realize how much marriage effects not only them and their family, but also the entire community and world. Back in the olden days when people got married, they promised to their spouse and their community and that shaped their relationship. Not only would that couple work hard and try to stay together for themselves, but the community was, on a level, obligated to do everything they could for that couple. Now, we don't even need a reason to divorce someone and I think it's starting to show in relationships and psychological attributes in society.

Thinking about how life is for 99% of the rest of the world, I get overwhelmed thinking about how incredibly blessed I am! Why in the world did I get so lucky to learn early on about the importance and eternal perspective that families have? What did I do in order to have my life instead of my neighbor's who shouts at their husband so loud at nights that I can hear it as I lay down for bed? All I can say is that at the rate things are going now, the second coming can come any day now and I'd be ok with it.

Til next time, Kate.
