in packing up, i found my journal from 1995 - in it i see that mid june of that year was when i went to court for the name change...almost 7 years ago...in some ways it doesn't seem that long ago, but at the same time, i feel as though i've been just plain ol' Lori Beth for longer than 7 years...back then i was soooo happy about my job at Thrifty Nickel (HA! scary to think at one point i actually did like the place!) and debating over whether or not to go back to Earlham in the fall (NOPE! didn't happen!) and muddling through my long distance relationship with Julie. sheesh, now THAT seems like a long time ago!

another trip down memory lane - looking up stuff on His Name Is Alive, i realized that the concert I went to in Chicago to see with Jesse Kahn was 9/14/96 - almost 6 years ago...what a cool concert....
