Why blog anyway? well this blog was initially started when Tim and Kate began their journey across the ocean to live and serve in Africa for two years. It was the best option for keeping up with life. that was good for a while, but yes it died off. they are still there, but now that we've mastered Skype, I can just call/chat and that's slightly more efficient. But now there are more people i love across the ocean now-- sooo i will try to keep you up to date on my life....and 3 people commented on the last post- so someone is reading. i might as well give them all something to read. also, i like reading other people's stories. you can actually get pretty stalkerish-- you know they people who are friends with your friend that you kinda know, but want to really know. whoops. its ok though they put it out there, right?
So, i have a new appreciation for the weekend. In college, the weekends were good- no class, but really you just kinda get to do your own thing-- which you still do during the week. Being in the working world-- weekends are a whole new treat. doing the things you wanted to do all week in one day.... cleaning, laundry, reading, resting. it's good. it's also good when you work so much in a week that you don't have to work friday and you get to have two days to do all the things you wanted to do plus some extras... shopping, scrapbooking, writing letters, and WOLFPACK football!!! that was fun... for a little while. despite the really overwhelmingness of collegeness everywhere and people everywhere (you forget when you sit in an office all day) it was fun to be back in the craziness. there was even a refreshing sprinkle in the evening as we cheered for the pack.... that sprinkle then became a consistent rain which was still fun for a little while, and then just not at all. once my jeans were soaked to me and i could not focus even on what was happening on the field, we peaced. Sadly enough, the pack couldnt pull that one out in the rain either. But one success of the night: from the student section up top 14/15 one of the engineering school's best was able to construct a well crafted paperairplane that made a smoothe landing on the 10 yard line. pretty impressive. (alltel will never put paper in the student section again. that is for sure! )
back in business....

5. i went to africa :) that was sooo great! seeing my senegalese familyand hanging out with Tim and Kate
6. i am no longer a student-- weirddd! the last time i was on campus was for my JOB! but i dont really look like i shouldn't be on campus as a student, so i felt weird. I was hosting a table in the brickyard. I had my crate of materials-- rolling through campus. that was awkward. i was a young professional, but really i just looked like a nerdy student who had chosen the wrong style bookbag. ha.
well really there has been a lot i guess. i'll try to be more up-to-date from now on :)
