Another crazy day...

Today ended up being totally different from how I planned it. First of all, I woke up with a sore throat :(. I told my friend Becky that I would go and let her dog out part way through the day and play with her. Becky is out of town and her husband would be gone for a long time - tough for a puppy. Since I wasn't feeling well, I decided to go later in the day.

I went into the church office to hang out w/ whoever (students) showed up for lunch. We had a good time. We decided to go out and play some dodge ball. Well, wouldn't you know, I ended up getting hit in the eye. Let me explain, the ball came from the side, so my reflexes didn't kick in and the ball actually scraped my eyeball!!! I felt like such a loser. Jon was really concerned, so he made me go to the eye doctor. My eye is definately scratched and they put a lens on it as a bandage. They also put all kinds of drops in my eyes so I couldn't really see. It feels weird - I am blessed to not wear glasses or contacts, so the contact lens feels strange. I get it out tomorrow.

All of this made me incredibly late to let Kanga (Becky's dog) out, but she was a good girl and held it that whole time! Then I went home (since I coudln't really work because I couldn't see) and there was a message from a student. She is a freshmen named Alicia. She wanted to bring dinner over for us! It was so sweet of her! She even brought Breyer's Reese's Ice cream. Yummy! The coolest part is that I am still getting to know Alicia. You just never know how you might encourage another person - whether by making them a meal or remembering their name. My vision is slowly coming back which is a good, good thing. I guess I'll try to catch up on all my work tomorrow. It's amazing how spring break week can end up busier than a regular week!

Princess Theme on the brain!

Today was a fun day! I got to catch up with April (a member of our volunteer staff at 707) for breakfast. She is getting married on July 16th and Jon is performing the ceremony. It was fun talking wedding plans with her! Then I was off to the office to get postcards out for the Girls' Princess All-Nighter coming up. Then Loren (one of our students who is going to Zambia w/ us this summer) came and we looked around stores for ideas for the Princess Party. We had lunch and an awesome time of catching up on her relationship with God!

I am getting really really really excited for the all-nighter! I plan on researching more ideas tonight! We are definately wearing tiaras, though! If anyone reading this has any ideas, I welcome your comments. I just love doing girly stuff and hanging out and giggling and all the crazy things girls do! I'll update you later on any cool things I discover....

At long last....(are you happy Em and Jon?)

I have finally succumbed to the peer pressure! Jon and Em have been trying to get me to have my own blog for at least a month now. I have to admit, though, that I am a little excited about it! I often read stuff and want to tell someone about it - so now you are my captive audience. I hope to not disappoint...
