Time Flies

I cannot believe it's almost November! We have been doing a really bad job of posting lately- sorry! I thought maybe I'd just let you all know some things going on in our lives....

The biggest thing that pops into my mind right now is that Jeni has this WHOLE week off! And I don't. She has totally been trying to downplay it so that I won't get upset, but it was pretty obvious this morning when one of us had to get up and the other didn't! But she felt so bad she woke up anyway and was going to make me breakfast! I told her that most likely I wouldn't be up if the situation was reversed, but she's always been much sweeter than me :). I am glad she has the week off and since I've always known I wasn't getting a break, it's not that bad.

The last two Sundays, we have been playing volleyball at church. Well, I watched last week, but I played last night and it was so much fun. I haven't played in years and pretty much sucked (yeah, this one guy traded me away to the other team! The nerve!), but it felt so good to play! Jeni is a stud and I kind of felt like the unathletic sister who came to town.... but that's ok. I'm going to start training at least an hour a day and I'll show them! Just kidding. I'm not training at all. I was a little worried about being able to get out of bed this morning since we played for two hours, but I made it! The only things that are sore are my legs.... wonder why. :)

We also started a mentor program where we both have an older woman in the church to hang out with and mentor us in a way. We both got awesome ladies and it has been amazing. They fit our personalities perfectly and mine even has a similiar back problem! They didn't know that when they matched us up- talk about God hooking us up! She's has been dealing with her back problem for about twenty years and knows so much about backs in general. She has a been a huge help physically, but also emotionally!

Hmmmm..... what else? We are still living in our little place. This past week, our neighbor moved and in moved a couple with a three month old baby. Not only is our place small, but it also has VERY thin walls! Jeni hears most of the crying, but yesterday I had to leave because the poor guy was crying for over an hour. But it's not all that bad, definitely could be worse.

We have been making a lot of friends at church and go to an awesome Bible study on Tuesday nights and another one on Saturday. Our Saturday night service is usually followed by Smore Night on our porch and this week we even had a guest. :) We got to hear his testimony and it was such a blessing to be reminded how loving God is... and how He can change our lives and when we're born again, He really gives us a new life. It was rad.


Our first quarter of school ends this week for me (Jeni ended last week) and pretty soon Christmas will be coming up! We bought our tickets home.... December 22- January 2.

I can't think of anything else. I'll ask Jeni. I decided I'm going to put her on picture patrol while she's off this week. There are so many beuatiful things here... and some bizarre too (like the pigeon that attacked us at dinner the other night).... but that's it for now!
