| Dogsitting and God's care :)So on Friday I started housesitting at a new place. I'm caring for a
very old cat and two dogs. Today I took the dogs for a walk in the
park, which is totally their favorite thing to do. They are so cute!!!
When they figured out I was taking them to the park, the started
jumping up and down and whimpering with excitement. While we were
their, they just had such blast sniffing the ground, running with
me, and lifting their noses to the wind. They were so well-behaved,
like they had the whole routine down pat. And they are such happy
creatures. Taking them on a walk made me happy :)
I know this sounds totally silly, but I feel like taking care of these
cute dogs helps me realize a tiny bit how God feels about caring for
us, his children. I hope it makes Him happy to see us happy, you know?
On another note, a teacher for Kamehameha School who goes to my church
asked me today if I would come and talk to her middle-school class
about my experiences in Nicaragua, or about whatever I want to share.
(Kamehameha School is a private school whose students are Hawaiian). I
feel honored that she asked me to come and talk to her kids, and
nervous about sharing. It's definitely going to be a step out of my
comfort zone. She said a lot of the students are totally self-centered
and she wants to give them a broader perspective.

| Currently reading... d
I really like it so far (I just started)...my favorite book in the
ninth grade was The Catcher in the Rye. Blue Like Jazz reminds me a bit
of The Catcher in the Rye, which I haven't read in years.

| The Birthday Thing...
So I must confess I've been avoiding Xanga because I have yet to get it together and do a weblog entry about the amazing, incredible time I had in Nicaragua :) Meanwhile, my 25th birthday was last Tuesday on the 22nd of August. I can't believe I'm halfway through my twenties...craziness!!!! (quarter-life crisis...no, it's not that bad, but I find it somewhat daunting to consider myself a 25-year-old).
Last year for my birthday, I decided to throw myself a birthday potluck and I had the potluck at Tim's house. Tim is the administrator Waipuna Chapel and a great guy. This year, we decided to do the 2nd annual birthday potluck (this year we upgraded to a barbeque). It was so fun!!! My friend Nick made terriyaki chicken and Jess and Shaun bought me a cake to have along with my mom's growingly famous cherry chocolate cheesecake with marzipan.
Last year Tim and I were in a pic and so we decided to do the same pic this year. Here's the one from this year....last year's is to come! | | |
