Can't Sleep

And all I can think about is the fact that I won't have a job when I get back!!! So, I've been in deep thought about how I'm going to pay the bills. Here's what I've come up w/ thus far:

1) About a billion of my friends back home have had kids since I've been here, so I'm considering opening a nursery. Ok, stop laughing out loud. I know it would be a disaster, but why not capitalize on my friends' fertility. (yikes, too much)

2) Cut grass. Pretty sure this one won't work out either b/c I don't own a lawn mover or any other equipment, and I think my parents wouldn't appreciate me jacking their tools all the time. Also, a ton of other peeps do this for a living.

3) I think this one is jack-pot. Somehow I'm going to convince people to let me go through their home and collect junk for a yard sale. I would organize everything then me and the homeowner would divvy up the profit, and what I couldn't sell at the yard sale would go on ebay. I read somewhere that most people have $3,000 worth of un-used goods in their homes. Lets sell that junk...Let me sell your junk!!! I love it. I'm a genius!!!

I'm totally up for other suggestions or job offers!!! I'm sort of just joking w/ this post, but I really can't sleep and totally have a meeting tomorrow morning. We still don't have water. PTL for baby wipes!!! The point of this is that if in a few months you see me on the corner holding a sign that resembles the one above...help a sister out!!! Seriously just kidding on that one. Mary Kathryn has already promised me that I could live with her and eat her food for as long as I needed!!! Gotta love big sisters!!!

Frogg Toggs

Momma sent me one of these towels in my last package and I absolutely love it. Our electricity has been out the past few nights, so its been a little hot. These little things are amazing. You just wet them and wring them out...then it turns cold!!! It stayed cool throughout the night. Tonight thankfully we have electricity, but no water!!! Hopefully we'll get some tomorrow. Meanwhile its a chilly 82 degrees in my room w/ my fan on. Don't take that as a complaint. It's a praise compared to how hot it got in the Dirty D (my old city).

The French Open is going on now. Poor Andy Roddick barely made it through his first round match. But I get to see him play at least one more day, so I'm happy. Come on USA!!! Also, we've been able to watch the NBA Eastern Conference Final games. I want the Magic to come back. Mainly b/c the Celtics have no excuse for losing.

I knew you guys were wondering about cooling towels and sports, so I decided to update you.

Whoa!!!

I guess its official now...I'll be home Aug. 4th at 4pm!!!! Well, I'll hopefully land in Charlotte at that time.

What in the world???

Please be pray for me!!! I'm going CRAZY!!! My thoughts are becoming slightly schizophrenic!!!!

No Shame

I feel no shame in admitting I sort of really like this book. Don't judge!!! I hesitated to read it for a long time mainly because of the cheesy cover, but now I'm reading it for the third time! Well, that's mainly because it is one of the only books I have here.

Anyways, good news Redeeming Love fans....they are making it into a movie!!!!

It's Christian fiction and it's pretty much quality. If you read and like this book then you must read the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. The first book is A Voice in the Wind, the second is An Echo in the Darkness, and the third and my fav. is As Sure as the Dawn. I know they have super corny titles, but once again...quality entertainment.

Get to reading ladies!!!

Allie Goat

Our friend named his 3 day old little goats after Abby and me. I'm the black one. He named the goat, Allie Goat.

This is our friend riding his donkey. He said I could, but I was too scared that the donkey would collapse.

Here are just some random pics from our recent trip:

We've been working w/ people from home and having a lot of fun. They crack us up. One of them pasted out on the side of the road b/c of the heat. It was only 95 degrees. Abby and I just reminisced on the days when it was 95 degrees in our bedroom while we were trying to sleep at night. But over all, they were troopers. I guess the heat did throw them for a loop b/c they knew they were visiting the Himalayan Mountains and seeing snow capped mountains while standing in the heat is a little odd.

Vacation Pics

We rented one of these boats for the day:

They let me drive for like 5 seconds!!! Good call Captain.

The Team:

Towards the end of the trip it started to rain. We were all so excited b/c we rarely see rain and I love storms.

Fun Faces

These are a few faces from our last trip. All of the kids in the pictures are Compassion International supported kids(except the baby at the end). Compassion is a super awesome and legit organization whose slogan is "Releasing Children from Poverty in Jesus' Name." You can sponsor a child my giving like 32ish dollars a month. I've been to two Compassion projects here and I definitely cannot wait to get back and start sponsoring a kid. Also, if I were a parent I think it would be a good way to introduce my kids to how other kids live. Click here to find more info about Compassion.

Last Vacay!!!

I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I've been on vacay for the past two weeks!!! I would have rather been here working though b/c vacay here isn't really vacay.

Here's one of many pictures that are to come:

Y'all know I love animals!!!
