back to school

welp, i made it back. winter break was awesome! i spent
lots of time with dan and we went like everywhere! okay,
not really everywhere but anywhere was awesome when it was
with him. it's hard to be back here because we did so well
over break but i know that God has a plan and that right
now we need to be apart.

missions conference was awesome. i really feel like i was
drinking from a fire hydrant. it was amazing. it gave me
the desire to finally talk to my best friend from high
school and tell hedr the gospel. even though i'm pretty
sure she won't want much to do with me afterward. but hey,
God is amazing and does amazing things, maybe now she'll be
willing to listen.

i have two really cool classes this semester. the first
and the best is urban ministries. that is going to be....
awesome! tatlock teaches it, so i know it's going to
be "great". the second is foreign missions and that's
going to be pretty cool as well. i'm going to Japan for 7
weeks over summer and this is just the class that is taken
in preparation for short term missions.

more recent news... yesterday was my birthday. it was
nice, taylor took good care of me and made sure i felt
loved, it's nice to have friends like that. i did however
get the flu from jaime. that sucked. so all day i slept
on the couch and then last night i slept on the floor by my
bathroom. it wasn't fun. today i'm feeling somewhat
better, not much but at least some. so i think the flu was
definatly the worst birthday present ever but that's okay
because this year i think i also got the best. but i can't
say what that is because... well, it's still in the works.
and it's kinda a present for someone else. this should be
fun.

over all it's pretty nice to be back. i don't have to
sleep on a curved couch anymore, i get to use my beautiful
computer, and i am able to learn so much here! it'd be
nice if dan could somehow be more of a part of my life here
but i'm pretty sure that the Lord knows what He's doing.
i'm excited to see what's in store for us... i just have
to wait a few agonizing years, that's all.

okay well, it's bed time. hopefully there will be no
sickness tonight and i can get through to the morning with
my water and crackers still in my belly. i have no classes
tomorrow and i get to go home. score! my mommy is going
to take care of me and love me and give me drugs of various
kinds. jk. it will be wonderful. plus, i get to see the
raider's win the superbowl! awesome!
