(no subject)
it's been over a month, and i can honestly say i'm having a great time!
i'm done with my project already, so now work consists almost entirely of googling people, writing letters, possibly doing my nails, and watching imax movies. i've also been going out to lunch and touring stuff. it's neat because all the while, my boss still loves me (i'll have you know she encourages this behavior) and i still get paid. sometimes i feel bad, but then i remember that if they gave me something else to do i would do it. my boss is trying to think of something, but until she does.... tehehehe!
the church here is amazing, which i never would have guessed if you'd asked me the first sunday i went. the pastor here is a great guy (his wife is great, too!), and he comes over all the time to hang out with us (she doesn't come as frequently). the family that lives at the address where everyone sends me mail lets me come over all the time and do whatever i want. i mostly only come over to hang out with some people i met around here (did i mention i met a whole bunch?!?!) and to pick up my mail (like the most incredible roses in the world that blake sent me for no reason!!!!).
side note: blake sent me the most incredible roses in the world: two-dozen long stem roses, both red and yellow/red, with pretty green and yellow "foliage" in a heavy but adorable light green vase. and they were for no reason! although he doesn't have to do it to make me love him, it definitely reminds me how lucky i am to be dating blake gardner. he'll be here in nine days. it's so hard to wait...
okay now i'm getting sidetracked. what was i talking about? um, yeah so i've made a bunch of friends here and we do lots of stuff and they consistently make me stay up past my bedtime (which would be good if i didn't LOVE sleep). the church here is really genuine and a lot of what i think a church should be. i feel as if for the first time in a long time i really belong to a fellowship that consistently tries to grow and help me grow as well. if for no other reason, i am glad i came just to meet these folks.
i will really miss this city when i leave at the end of july. i'll be happy to see my family, of course, but i think i'll always wish just a little bit that i could have stayed.
take care. love, kathy
