Ok, after much urging and much procrastination, I'm finally ready to put up a new post.

Thanks for all the prayers while we were in Jamaica. The work there was very rewarding. Three were baptized! I met some amazing people; both Jamaicans and those who traveled down in our group. I'm so blessed and I pray that I'll be able to go back next year. Please continue to pray for the brethren in Jamaica, they live in a harsh environment and they face hardships and trials far greater than anything we can imagine here in the states.

As for what I'm up to now: I'm in my apartment with my three wonderful roommates and having so much fun! I'm taking some challenging courses this semester and they're starting to weigh on me so I'm spending a lot of time reading and studying. I'm adjusting to going to a huge university as opposed to my sheltered little FC world. It's been a shock. It's hard to get used to having such worldly professors who actually do make jokes about people with morals... I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself... over and over again.

I'm in the process of trying to find a new job... not fun! I have a job right now but it's further away than I'd like so I'm ending up spending most of my paycheck on gas. I'm looking for something that is closer to where I live and that pays a comparable amount, but thus far, I'm not having much luck. I guess I've always just had jobs pretty much handed to me but now I'm doing it the hard way and struggling like most people do when looking for a job. If you have any suggestions let me know!


Finally, I miss my family and everyone at church back home!Love you guys. Enjoy fall! Come visit me when it gets too cold up there :)

    Drew is feeling better. He's actually up right now, he was up before the alarm. He took a breathing treatment, took his handful of allergy meds, and we're gonna try to make it through the school day. His teacher knows about his allergies and asthma (of course) and she's good about letting him self-medicate in the classroom. She allows him to load his own nebulizer and use it, which is wonderful, then he doesn't have to wheeze all the way to nurses office or my classroom to take a treatment. Hopefully very soon I can get him on shots and a big portion of these issues will resolve. Anyhoo, thanks for checking on him. He's all good today!!

    We love you! Good luck with everything. And I'd like to hear more about those professors and their comments. You hadn't told me that. I'm not surprised but its still frustrating. You can do or say anything when you are a college professor - except that God is real! We love you very much! Gotta go feed Lily. She's sitting on me while I type this.

    Hey. I didn't know you were on here. :) How fun is that? Glad to hear you're doing well and stinky all at the same time. Stinks to have to find a job on your own and be out in the real world with the sometimes not so nice and all to REAL people, especially when you've been sheltered, that's how I was too, it's good though, in the end you WILL be stronger! :)

    I had some pretty frustrating professors at USF, particularly in my psychology classes. One of them was always making fun of religion and making it out to be a "crutch" to lean on...it drove me nuts.
