Siete Cosas From The past Couple of Days...

1) I Had an allergic reaction to something I ate.
2) My face swelled up like a balloon (I got put on steroids and I'm fine).
3) I Decided that I love summer, being outside for BOB tonight was awesome.
4) I had an extremely awkward conversation with a senator in the elevator at work.
5) I learned a lesson.
6) I have realized how much of a blessing Kelli Hillard is.
7) God is such a mystery, too amazing to ever begin to figure out.


Estoy contenta!

The professor

Katy and I went to see Damien Rice play last week at the State Theater. It was an amazing show, he is one awesome Irish dude. He sang one song unplugged, which was sweet because the State is so huge, and he sang some French. Reminds me of..


"La fille danse
Quand elle joue avec moi
Et je pense que je l'aime des fois
Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc
Quand on est ensemble
Mettre les mots
Sur la petite dodo"

Pura Vida

If everyone could please continue to pray for my trip to Costa Rica I would really appreciate it! It has been pretty stressful on my family and I to deal with my visa complications, money, and general planning for this trip. Thanks dudes... and thanks especially to everyone who has given me such helpful advice and connections (Randi-kay, your brother has been awesome.. and Aaron Kite- you rock dude)

I can't wait to be a Tica instead of a Dutchie

Last Sunday was Liz's birthday so Katy and I surprised her by driving her to see Copeland play in Toledo. She had no idea where we were going and she started to think that we were kidnapping her when we passed Williamston. By the way, don't go to Toledo, all that's there is a creepy gas station, and a run down venue with poop on the walls, seriously. But the show was great, we were 2nd row and they were amazing.

On the two hour drive back home, I got to thinking about Costa Rica. I'm so freakin excited. I'm going to be learning spanish, living in a 100% Latino (Tico) community, and becoming a part of a latino family. I leave August 15th, and I'm coming home in late December.
