up-to-date.

i know it's time to write and update on things- i have quite a few ideas of what i would like to share, but not finding the correct articulation tonight. so will express life through a few bullet-points and hope that the words will flow again soon.
  • i have now been in the states for a little over a year. this is the longest, consecutive time i have been here since 2003.
  • just finished reading the book 'the help' by kathryn stockett. would recommend it!
  • finally got a paperback copy of ted dekker's book 'green' and read over 200 pages in the first sitting!
  • the dreaded 5K is here this weekend. a positive note: i ran the farthest today that i've ever ran before; however, it's still not the length of a 5K yet!
  • have realized that i have seen almost every, single person i have met while living abroad that is from the states since i've been back. what a blessing!
  • my friend from new zealand is coming for christmas this year- i am stoked!
  • i have had more than 3 dreams about being in high school in the past two weeks.
  • i helped can 21 quarts of homemade salsa this summer!
  • the humidity around here is killing me.
  • my bedroom floor is covered with piles of things i want to donate to goodwill.
  • my brother is getting married in less than two months!
  • i have no travel plans in the immediate future.

"You make me feel. You make me feel. You make me feel like a natural woman." "Should be fun on a bun!" "And stay off the circle line. It is an instrument of the devil."
