happy labor day!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the first holiday of the new school year. I certainly am, though I hardly am "off"...i have a big theory test tomorrow, ALREADY! Talk about mean teachers...

Val- I laughed so hard when I heard that you are a "mean" teacher. Thats just hilarious. Not because i doubt your authority or anything, I just love knowing that you are one of the sweetest coolest people in the world, but little kids don't know that!! I bet they will learn quickly that there is so much more to you. I have been praying for you and am glad I know better how to direct those prayers. And don't worry about not calling me-- I understand!

Michelle-- thanks for letting us know about your cousin. Have you heard anything more? I know Biola is sending in a team now too, so remember to pray for them. Like Diz said, how is life without the sisters?? How was Vegas?

Diz- where are you at? how are you dealing with the sore feet and throat? or don't you have that? excitd to grade all those essays you made them write? wanna look at mine? just kiding. Glad you went to the dr. about those lumps...I would not wanted to be responsible to tell you wheter it was cancer or not. I am prety sure i have at least two in my neck, so you are just not alone.

So, life for me is going fine. I finally feel like I caught up with my work a bit. I've attached some pictures, one from my trip home (aren't we cute???) and one from the Angels/Mariners game I went to on Friday. It was a blast-- we went with Jason and Crystal and it was hilarious all night...we went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream and it took them like an hour to get our ice cream, so we sat there for another hour just to be annoying. = ) Then on Saturday I worked on homework all day, then went to hang out with Kristin at night...that was so fun. Life's pretty different for her cuz her friends have sorta moved into another crowd, so she's a litle lonely (but works for me, cuz I am lonely for her too!) We went shopping and bought some new clothes...i've been going a little nuts like that lately. not nuts, but just bought what seems like a lot of stuff. A skirt, a dress, a jacket, couple of Old Navy tanks and sandels. thats not too much is it?

Oh, I don't knwo if I said much, but I'd like to ask for prayer for both Kashelle and Charity (and thus, me, cuz those two of my closest fraiends here, and I'm nnot sure how to support them best). Anyways, Charity's parents are getting a divorce, and her dad has filed criminal charges against her mom. its a REALY tterrible place to be. And Kashelles mom just moved to Illinois to live with her brother until things get sorted out btwn her husband and her. Kashelles' family is having a VERY tough time with it, specially with a younger sister involved. please pray for them a lot. I can't imagine having to go through that kind of pain, especially after you parents have been together for over twenty some year.

well, I haven't done any homework yet, so i gota get to it. gotta love Biola. Sorry, Diz, i didn't get to the book sale b/c I thought he probably had gotten rid of the goodstuff by the time I read it (i found out before you sent it, but stil felt kinda weird going to some guys office to snoop...i wish you guys had been here to go with me!). hope to hear from you guys soon!
