Me and the ladies in East Asia

This is a picture of me and the Americans at the Great Wall

This is a picture of the guy I am dating in TN (hypothetically speaking of course). :)

Visitor

Guess who has a visitor in 5 days?! I do! I am so excited. Nuff said.

I am having a dillema. If you had to choose between going to a family wedding three hours away and going to an indoor arena football game with the guy you are dating who lives in TN and LOVES to watch sports which would you choose? Hypothetically speaking of course.

Tis the season

It is wedding season. No denying it. It is. Although, this is one of the first summers that I have not have numerous friends getting married. I think that so far there has only been 3. But this weekend I have a cousin getting married and I have another one getting married next weekend.
But, I am excited because for the first time ever- EVER, I have a date to a wedding. Jon is coming up to visit next weekend. Wow, that makes it seem so much sooner. Anyways I am pumped. I get to plan everything too which is really fun. As the girl, I never get that privlege and if you know me at all you know that I have a freakish delight in details and planning.

This last week Sonya Tracy and I also found an apartment. Sonya and I had to wrestle each other in the process but we came out unscathed. Basically we wanted a 3 bedroom with washer and dryer in it as well as one that was close to campus and not too far from Sonyas work (over by gateway) and had a largerish kitchen. Little did I know that when we started looking for these things we would not get all of them, so then how do you decide what's important? I still don't know. BUT Sonya and I found a home at Tracy's old apartment complex. Come visit next year.

I have an interactive question for you guys. Guys especially I would love your input. What do you think about guys who mention how pretty other women are around girls? Girls, what do you think? I am curious how opinions will differ.

reality of life right now

It is kinda nuts that I have posted so much recently but I have a lot of "free" time so to speak. It has been a nutty summer. Fundraising is in high gear and I am a lot further behind then I would like to be. Only 3% of my budget came in last week. As I told Jon on the phone tonight, "sometimes I am too much of a math major to have faith." It is hard to see how God is going to make this happen so I am trying to against all odds trust his infinite ability and ownership of all in the universe.

Also, Clayton came home on leave today. I found myself a mess of emotion. I almost cried thinking about him coming back. You don't realize how much you miss someone until you see them again sometimes. He told us some crazy stories and I am SO glad to see him. He will be home for 15 days.

It is raining like mad outside and I just realized that I forgot to call someone back. Oops! I better get on that.

Something witty

Have you ever had days when you really wanted to post something witty? Or when you just wanted to be funny for the sake of entertaining yourself? I am having such a day. But nothing comes to mind- sad.

In other news, fundraising is in full swing. The daily convulsions while dialing the phone and the many many conversations had with old friends and friends of the family. It has been an encourgaing season all in all. But I am a little behind where I was this time last year. Ick! Well, God is big enough to have it all come in over the course of a day if he wants. He also has a bigger story that he is writing than what happens for me over the next 2 months. I am trusting that!

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD." Lamentations 3:20-24
