I have resurfaced...

...from the underground.

Actually, not really. I just have cable internet back. I can now update you on my life, although most of the group knows it. Yes, I can proudly say I've hung out with 3 of the 4 precious members of our blog (1 being myself, naturally). It gave me such joy and pleasure to see Danielle and Michelle, though my heart still mourns for my lost love bunny. I must needs call you soon.

Danielle! You didn't write about your clases yet! And what outfit did you pick out for the first day? Do you think it worked? Are they terrors?

Michelle! Glad to hear you've made it home safe. I need to keep working on you to move outta the desert and into the beautiful green lands beyond. = ) Back to work yet?

Val! I haven't passed on my congratualtions yet! I actually heard from Danielle about your job b/c I had been away for so long...I wasn't ignoring you. I am immensly proud of you, and glad you moved back (if I MUST). When did you say you start? You will most certainly be in my prayers. Especially for sleep! = )

So, life is about to get outta control. School starts tomorrow. I have to admit, i'm scared. I always am, on the first day. I have no steller (Matt's fav word now) track record when it comes to first days of school. I am also complicating things by going back to my old job on Saturday, at the hospital. I get butterflies for that too, but i'm not sure why. Prayer would be great. speaking of, my grandpa is in surgery this afternoon b/c they found a stone in his bile duct this AM. It should be fine, but I still want him to be covered in prayer, since his age makes him vulnerable to a lot of problems.

My trip was great, for those who are interested. All sorts of adventures- sailing on the sound (the little divet part of Wa), searching for property to buy, shopping, shooting...Val, you would be so proud of me...I shot my first gun!! I am pretty sure they don't rent them, by the way. But my brother-in-law took Matt and I up into the hills and taught me to shoot a 9 mm and a .22 rifle. I lvoed it! and i did really good too...Matt was mad that I did better than him! = ) In addition, we bought a BB gun to keep for safetys sake. I got to shoot that too. Val, we can go shooting if you come...

Speaking of, I talked with Diz and Brewster about maybe a Vegas trip, depending on how my break and Danielle's breaks coincide...interested? Matt would be coming too, if thats okay. Who knows...at least we'll have something to think about.

Well, thats about it. I'm working at Smartstop today and yesterday cuz they desperately needed help. they are buying lunch and dinner, and gave me a dollar raise. its nice to hang out and help.

hope to see some more posting soon, and I'll post pics as soon as they are developed. Diz, your cd is coming! i haven't forgotten, but email me your address.
