i don't really know what to say.
i'm just in a waiting period.
i got 3 out of 4 A's last semester. so that's nice.
the 4th could've been one if i didn't skip one of the papers. so i got a c. bummer.

i'm just still trying to get used to being in one place "long" term...i'm just over 9months living in one place. and i am still trying to get my good habits back that i quit when i was in jamaica. things like working out every day. it's so weird that it's hard to get back into it since that was so me for so long. since i was like 13 or something. anyways.

it's very fun figuring out how to be on a gluten-free diet, though sometimes frustrating...i have sad moments when i realize i will never again eat cheez-it or ritz crackers, crepes, and other things.

i just smell the foods that i miss and then i'm pretty much ok.

and i think i finally found a church that i want to go to regularly. i haven't had like a "home church" in SO long because of how much i've been bouncing around since 2004...it's kind of exciting and kind of scary.

i'm so into abba songs right now. thanks to mamma mia! [the musical based on their songs]..........i just really like a lot of the lyrics and that film is SO BEAUTIFUL...it's set in greece so i'm sure you can imagine if you haven't seen. maybe. it's just beautiful...the colors! wardrobe! dancing! ...anyways...

my big jesse dog really wants me to play with him right now, but i don't feel good and i get all woozy after like ten steps so. i feel bad for him. oh well.
the room is kind of spinning.
i just haven't written anything in so long...

birthdays in my fam, organic chocolate, and so forth

more pictures soon coming. there are still more december birthdays for us.
it's so cold in this town. i would like to nap and read and write and watch movies while i crochet all day with my big dog taking up all the space on my bed and my tiny space heater blowing at me from across the room.

anchor.

if it's not monday then it's friday either way i still love and miss him

mateo vincent

things are looking up for us, son

for some reason

i don't know why it came to mind. but i was reminded of this time on a trip when i was in joshua and i wanted darin and shannon to be able to hang out in the evening with everyone, so i offered to babysit their two boys almost every night. they were so little then! anyway someone always came along, like barb or katie and i think it was a time barb was there, i can't remember, but i had "pretty baby" by vanessa carlton stuck in my head and i kept singing like the one line i knew from that song...
anyways...
hank, with his lil bopo [binky] in his mouth, carrying a blankie, popped his head out of the bedroom and said, "baby's not goin anywhere, i'm right here"
too cute
and i think jack was sitting on the table while we played cards or something. i don't really remember.
well. there it is. and that's why i grabbed my cam and recorded myself singing that part. cuz it's a good memory.
