The 24th of July

So, yesterday was the 24th of July. Excitement. I got a call in the morning from the Red Cross asking me to donate blood that day at a blood drive. Interestingly, that very morning I had thought that it was probably about time to drive to the Red Cross building in Orem and donate. So, I decided to go do it.

For the past 3 years, every single time I have donated blood, about 10 times, I have had to answer yes to the question, "Have you traveled outside the United States in the last three years." Well, yesterday, I saw the question, and got to thinking. I got back from my mission to Argentina the 24th of July, 2004, exactly 3 years before. So, the answer was no.

It was an interesting thought. I have been home three years. Wow. That seems like a looooong time.
