the years start coming and they don't stop coming....

ah, the little snippets of my life.

80's movies really aren't as good as our parents think they are.

oh that dog.

finally the sun is out again!

I hate being sick.

this past weekend was nearly perfect (if we'd gone to Powell's, it would have been perfect). the Beth Moore conference by itself was incredible, with the most phenomenal worship team I think I've ever heard - except for Hillsong, probably. Saturday night we went to our home-away-from-home church and saw many friend-like-family from our India team. we walk in the door and one couple who will be moving to India soon are standing right there, just visiting the church just like us! after talking for a few minutes, we found out that Kevin, one of the missionaries in India, was in town just for the weekend and would be at that evening's service! I'm afraid I sort of hug-attacked him when he came in, all jet-lagged and disoriented. it was great to see him after over a year.

our good friend Monica is finally pregnant, after her and her husband trying for a long time! we had fun catching up with her, and came to the realization that everyone in the world who's pregnant is having boys right now. women, prepare to become extinct!

While talking to John about this and that, my "other dad" Mike randomly decided to join us by climbing over the chairs instead of going around. it was so refreshing talking, laughing, and just being with some of my favorite people again.

after church we went out for Indian food with Mythraie and my cousins Marcus and Lissa (Lissa also happens to be pregnant and is of course having a boy).......we stayed pretty late there catching up, and began formulating plans for me to come down in the summer after the baby's born to help out around the house for awhile.

summer manages to fill itself up so quickly. *sigh*

then Sunday came, with a fresh bout of sore throat and cold....and of course we had to come home. *sadface* drat coming home, I could live in Portland easily. actually, if I end up needing some sort of degree, I think I'd like to go to school down there, where I can live with family and go to church at Village. that's my idea of heaven.

I am so undisciplined. *another sigh*

alrighty, french vocab and piano pictures, here I come.......
