Brother Ross and The Don are my heroes!

Yesterday they went out and replaced the battery in my car! It got me home! Unfortunately, this morning, it wouldn't start. BUT the problem was that (last night) as they were tightening a bolt, it punctured the battery, forcing a leak in the battery, and so the bolt was basically sitting in battery acid all night long. Earlier today I saw the bolt and it was insane how much it had been eaten away. So Ross replaced it again for me. It's good to have little brothers and good friends!

Anywho, I'm super tired right now. I'm pretty sure I could fall asleep before 11 tonight for sure. Today was good - soccer tryouts have begun! It's gonna be fun and interesting to say the least! I think I started a bad thing when I called Katie "Jockstrap" and Stephanie "Booger" .... let's hope it goes no further. As for me, I'm Coach Satellite. Since they gave me that nickname, I might be entitled to call a few of them "jockstrap" and "booger" among others as they come to me. ... I still don't think "jockstrap" is appropriate, but it is funny. :o)

Tomorrow is more tryouts. I'll be sure to have more layers for tomorrow because apparently, and this is news to me, it gets colder outside as the sun sets. Who knew? Did I miss the memo? haha.. Tomorrow is also Gilmore Girls. I doubt I'll make girls' basketball. We'll see. I'm pretty wiped as it is. Chalk it up to me staying up last night til close to 1:30am.... I'll live.

So I came up with a little list for Thanksgiving... So in no particular order:

• God's grace, forgiveness and love
• family
• a roof for free (to me)
• something to eat
• friends who really do care
• friends who night not care
• a job that pays enough
• a job that I can't stop talking about
• cellphones and phone cards
• airplanes
• time
• cameras that capture memories
• my health
• computers that connect the world
• co-workers and students
• emotions
• laughter
• tears
• political freedoms that I wish the rest of the world could share
• the little things in life

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, near and far.

what a stinkin awesome weekend.. seeing one friend, hearing another and making new ones.. :o) rock, rock on.

more to come later ...

Happy Birthday Wendy!!

YOU ARE 24 YEARS OLD TODAY! haha.. you're old... hehehe...

I love you!

It's goin alright! No huge complaints, just continually learning that I need to trust God more than I do.

Tonight, we had a softball tournament and in the second game, I hit a ball the farthest I have ever hit one!!! I was so pumped that I didn't even care that the left fielder totally caught it and got me out. :o) Oh well!! It was fun. My shoulder is sore... hmm .. now that I think about it, it's probably from me diving and tumbling for the ball (which I missed) in the first game. haha.. yeah.. that is probably it. hmph. Oh well again!! It was worth it.

There are 6 days until Thanksgiving holidays and I'm getting pumped! This weekend is gonna be interesting. Not a lot of plans... And if I don't blog before then, Happy Birthday Wendy :o)

Wow.. check that out.. It's been almost a year that I have been blogging! Wow!! Has it really gone by so quickly?? Has it really been almost a year before I started student teaching? Wow.. Crazy how time flies. I'll reminisce no more, I'm afraid of what I'll start to do (aka cry).. and I'm at school right now so we'll just not go there.
Have a great day and I'll blog more as cool things happen.. haha.. Actually I'm going to go for a run this afternoon and then go hang out with Kat in the tent. So weird that she is camping out for u.t. tickets. Gosh.. insane. LATA!!

December is going to ROCK

The days just fly by and they all run together!! Work is going well. I am doing a lot of physical stuff because of my current rotation, but I like it a lot! Over the past week and a half or so I've been doing a lot of looking into the future. I am pretty sure that I will be taking my special ed certification test in February. And I'm currently looking for an apartment for me and Kat for next semester. And then I have to look for a job for next year.. and in addition to all this, I'm working on my summer plans already! I really really want to go to Camp Barnabas for an extended period of time. So there's a lot on my mind, but it's all positive!! And hey, there's only 2 weeks and 2 days until Thanksgiving break!! YAY!! (GASP!) And then soccer starts!!!!!! AH! I totally forgot!! WOO HOO!!!! And THENNNNN Wendy comes home!!! AND THENNNNNNN Ginger comes home!! AND THENNNNN Kathrin and David get married!!! December is going to be a GREAT month! I can't wait!
