Guess where I am sitting writing this entry?  My NEW OFFICE at St. John's UCC in Red Lion!  That's right, I'm here now!  I started this past Sunday, and everyone was so wonderful and friendly here.  I'm not just saying that because people from the church (ahem, Liza and Troy) will read this, but because I really mean it.  I thought the same thing when Don and I came to visit in July.  Everyone says Hello and is genuinely friendly.  In York County, too!  Amazing!!!

What else is new...well, we're moving in just about a week, and that's pretty scary.  I have been feeling more tired lately (and gigantic, but I know I have to grow even more...I wish my belly were detachable) so I haven't been a very good help with packing at home.  And bless Don's heart, he's been at the new house almost every night painting.  Tonight my mom is there helping him.  At least they're on the trim, and hopefully it will be done soon.  I can't believe we'll be living in Manchester in just over one week...right down the street from my old high school!  It's surreal, but I think it's good.  The baby will be REALLY close to Grammy and Granddad (that's what we're calling my mom and dad, unless the baby decides to call them something else).  I still don't really think that my mom is a "Grammy," but it's what she wants to be called, so we'll give it a try...

Anyway, I'm sure I'm boring everyone with my rambling, so I'll wrap it up.  Hope everyone is doing well, whether at school or in college or working or whatever...drop me some notes and let me know what's up!

Well, I had been trying for the longest time to find another picture that I wanted to use, and I for some reason told myself that I didn't want to post again until I had a new picture.  (Why, I'm not sure...but I didn't like that Christmas day picture of myself anymore).  So, I'm writing this from work and don't have access to any other pictures of myself, thus it's back to "dog & pineapple."

Hello to everyone out there who I haven't talked to in a loooooong time!  I hope people had fun in Taize, I was thinking about y'all while you were there.  I was being home, working at least 40 hours a week in a not-so-fun job, and being pregnant!  I'm sure everyone knows that by now, but if you didn't, now you do!  The baby is due October 28, so that's just about two months away.  I can't believe it!  And we have sooooo much to do before the baby comes.  We're moving, I'm starting a new part-time job at St. John's UCC in Red Lion (hurray!!!! and I get to hang out with Troy and Liza!), and, well, we're planning for baby baby baby everything!  We don't know what we're having, so it will be a surprise on b-day to see what comes out!

Anyway, drop me some comments and let me know how you're doing.  I know I say this every time I go away for awhile and don't post and then come back, but I REALLY am going to try to update more often.

PS. Jacquie -- where are you??????

Long time, no post, I know!  Tonight is YouthKnits! at Church of the Apostles, and that should be fun.  Guess it's not a good idea to advertise it now, since it's happening in 15 minutes!  But I'll definitely post an update here when we decide how often/regularly we are going to meet and what projects we'd like to make.  If you are interested and couldn't come tonight, let me know what you think about those things.

In other news, not too much exciting stuff is happening.  Started a new semester of classes today, can't believe it's my last semester and I'm graduating in May!  Scary stuff!

Now, why?.........

See that my cat is in the bottom box.  Why, oh why, did she feel the need to do this?  As I write, she is standing behind me, meowing her fool head off.  But why couldn't she just go sit on the bed?  What's up with knocking all the boxes off the top in order to be in the bottom...anyway, aren't digital cameras fun?  So I get to share this craziness with all of you!

Happy New Year!  Stay safe tomorrow night, and I'll write more again soon.  Peace out...
