well, I made it back to Taylor safely last night at around 11:30pm...we were planning on getting back at around 7 to Taylor but my flight to Atlanta was an hour late and I ended up missing my next flight by only about 10 minutes! So I hung out in the Atlanta airport for my new next flight for the next 5 hours, lol! I finished two books and read 20 chapters of Psalms, had a chai, and 2 bread sticks and tried some free samples at Bath and Body works, and got way beyond my fill of people watching. It was so good to finally get out of there! I was running low on cell phone batteries so I couldn't call anyone and just talk for fun, or play games on my cell phone -- that was a bummer! Then when I got back I had to work with my partner on a presentation I had to give this morning in my literature class at 9am, so I was up 'til like 3am. And I heard it snowed 8 inches today! in Washington. I watched part of a football game today while I was working out because the Seahawks were playing! And I've never before cared about them until this day. I was actually emotional attachted to the game. It was snowing on the field too :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I saw this quote on a note on the wall in the prayer chapel the other day:
"Thank You for a love that loves me just the way I am and a love that loves me too much to leave me that way."

what do you think of looking at this picture? :)

Well, what to say, I'm getting slightly homesick. :) We got almost everything moved into our dorm. I've been meeting LOTS of people. Too many "nice to meet you'"s. But so far it's been mighty fun and mighty confusing getting all oriented. I miss my friends though!! :( My roommate is pretty funny and we are opposite in a lot of ways, just like in the way we are but we get along and can talk to each other easily, it's really great. Classes start on Tuesday. I would post pictures but I forgot the cord that connect my camera to the computer :(. I really can't wait 'til I actually KNOW people, not just their names. Ivory, I miss you!!! I put pictures of you up and the one of us making faces, it's wonderful. I think I'll call you now, bye!

Bleeeeeeeeeyay!

okay, I fixed the link now! I thought it was .com, but it was .net....derrr sorry!

Okay, I am now a distributer of Layers Clothing! It is a modest clothing company, and today I got the starter kit in the mail which is 17 sample shirts, a swim suit, and catalogues. Everything is really really nice and good quality and not ugly. The website is http://www.layersclothing.net/marika/. I'm pyched! I like it so much...it's all really cute, but modest at the same time..and comfy..and not ridiculously expensive...Hopefully I will be able to make lots of $$ at college :)..

Okay here's more pictures that I couldn't get to load on the post before this :)

He looks all cute and fuzzy, but he's really just a fiesty litte bugger.

There were hundreds of butterflies up at the lake...
