Day 25

I had classes this morning, but no work so it almost felt like a Saturday!

I woke up this morning and opened my curtain to this:

Looks like it's snowing! But it was super foggy!

I made a super awesome play on words with friends this morning. I used all of my letters!

116 Points!! Woohoo!

And....

I've got spirit, yes I do. I've got spirit how 'bout you?

Eh... spirit shmirit.

Until next time...

Day 24

I didn't do much but go to work and do some homework later. 

Adorable children are much more exciting than homework, so :

'Look RaRa! Take a picture!'

So cute!

'I'm a model, you know what I mean...'

She wanted to take pictures making faces

Also, my books came in! Thank you Jesus!

And that was basically today.

Until next time...

Day 23

Monday. 

I have an evening class that I don't just love. Thankfully it's only for 6 weeks and as of tonight, it's half over! I got tired of taking notes so instead I chose to do this:

I got a little dizzy doing this and now my hand is sore. But still more interesting than taking notes.

Also, today's dinner:

Cafeteria food: Hamburger, Salad, and Strawberries.

I checked my mailbox today hoping that I would get one of the books that I ordered last week. I need to have it read in about a week and a half, so hoping to get it in soon! I got a slip that said I had a package and was a little disappointed that it wasn't one of my books, yet pleasantly surprised to find this:

My long lost file box!

So, I had this little file box due at the end of the semester in the spring for one of my counseling classes. I worked hard and had some really good articles and little tools to use in the future, and let's face it, the box itself is so pretty and I wanted it back! Because everyone had already gone home for the summer when the prof emailed to say that he was done and we could pick them up, I just assumed that he would hold on to the ones for people who aren't local and give them back at the beginning of this year. Also, I realize that I only live about 25-30 minutes away, but I wasn't going to waste a tank of gas to pick up a box. So when the first few weeks of school came and went without a sign of my box, I just assumed I wouldn't get it back. I had thought about emailing the prof a few times to see if he still had it, but kept putting it off. Yey! I got it back today!

Anyway, that's about all. I ought to go do some homework now so,

Until next time...

Day 22

The month is nearing the end. Will you miss my daily pictures?

 

Today after church we went over to my sister and brother in law's house to celebrate Katie's 10th bday (yesterday), and Emmitt's 7th bday (tomorrow). We didn't do too much, ate some hamburgers, the kids opened gifts, and then we had some awesome cupcakes.

 

They got these cupcakes for Katie:

 

And these for Emmitt:

 

HULK SMASH!!!



 

I ate way too much but had fun with the family.

 

Speaking of which. We can all blame my nieces for this. They showed me this video today that is so weird and funny, and now it is stuck in my head:

 

 

 

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.

 

You're welcome.

 

Until next time...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Day 21

Saturday!

 

I slept in and did nothing for most of the morning. It was glorious.

 

 

After a while I did head out to school to go to the library. I had some reading that I needed to get done from some books that I don't have and can only find there. The school library's hours aren't terribly convenient with my schedule so going all the way back to school to read 10 pages and check out a book was slightly disappointing for a Saturday. Oh well. Some things just must be done.

 

Later in the evening, Kodi and Shawn and I had a good time around the fire pit burning a variety of things. Wood, naturally, but also leaves, check registers, and the occasional slug. Hopefully no slug juices flew up onto my marshmallows as I roasted them! ;) But either way, they were tasty, so all is well.

 

Fuego!

Well,

 

Until next time...

 

 

 

 



Day 19

Because we're going back in time.

 

 

Also, this happened:

 

Mr. Gyro with friends

 

Gosh. I adore both of these women. They are both so incredibly wonderful. And we have so much fun together. We met for lunch today to celebrate Sarah's birthday as well has have a little farewell for her. She's headed back to Italy tomorrow and I likely won't see her for at least 6 months. I'm excited for her to be able to get back 'home' and finally be with her husband, but to be honest, I'm sad for myself.

 

Goodbyes just never get easier.

 

But I am so thankful for all of the technology that allows us to be in contact!

 

Until next time...

 

 



Day 20

Today I worked. I like my job, mostly because I really like the family I work for and I adore their children. Today I was feelin' like I wanted to cook a little something. A little more than just 'roni' (macaroni) and chicken (tenders- which they were out of anyway.) So I made one of my personal favorites: Spaghetti!

These little girls just love each other and it's so fun to see them love on each other. In fact, lately L has been moving her chair around the corner of the table to sit next to D... she just wants to be with her. It's cute. So cue this cute moment:

Adorable!

L gave up on her plate of food and they both just ended up feeding each other from D's tray. They got soooo messy but had a lot of fun!

Also, last semester I started a Bible study with 5 other gals from school. One has since graduated, but the other 4 and myself have decided to continue on with our group. These girls have been a blessing to me, and especially since this year just feels weird (for all of us, I think. So many freshmen/transfers that the campus totally feels different), it's nice to have a little stablitiy and accountability. This is my friend Un Joo who showed up to our study dressed as Winnie the Pooh (as she does around campus from time to time):

Giant Asian Winnie the Pooh

So grateful for her.

Until next time...
