I want to go there...today;)

of course I know who she is! Even though I write letters like I am, I'm not from 1770:). Glad you liked the letter... It's real sealing wax...limited edition so you're pretty special. I also love the new york times. Read the print copy every day. My favorite part, though it's not too classy, are the ads from places like currier and ives, gucci, saks fifth avenue, bergdof goodman and all those great places. I like to think of myself in a pencil skirt with a $200 dollar pair of black high heels, a professional haircut, glasses with smart black plastic frames, a steaming cup of starbucks caramel apple spice in one hand and that morning's paper (NY Times of course) in the other briskly walking to the office in the morning. I'll be an editor or writer you know. That is what that paper makes me feel like.
You're so great eri, a regular inspiration. I really want you to come up for my birthday. It would mean the word to me, please oh please oh please? Mommy daddy, mommy daddy and all that crap. Please come!
Also, did you watch obama's innauguration speech? THere was a way funny part. He said...we are a nation of Christians, muslems, hindu and budists...then he paused awkwardly and said...and nonbelievers. It was so funny and random, hope you saw it, because it was possibly his first foux pau in office. Well love ya sis, maybe see ya soon.
love,
Jeka

JEKA!!! Thank you for the letter. How do you seal it with wax like that? I felt like I was opening a letter from 1770. Ashley was way jealous, but she thought it was amazing. I think I'm just going to have to save the envelope and the letter...
So interviewed Carol Mikita the other day...do you know who that is? She is a news anchor and reporter for KSL TV. She usually is the one that comes on right after general conference with documentaries on the prophets. This is what she told me...At first she gave me answers that I would expect from a journalist currently in the field. She told me to learn how to write well, ask questions that people want answers to, study hard, and be able to talk to people.
But then she told me something I guess I should have found more obvious, but instead it still surprised me. Being a journalist herself, she told me to want it more than I want anything else. She told me that when I go to bed at night I should wake up wondering what happened while I was sleeping. I began to see how journalism can be more than just a job. For some people it can become a way of life, a way of thinking about information different from everyone else.
