Today's Coffee: Celestial Seasoning Organic Vanilla Hazelnut

Well, so much has been happening lately! This week Thomas is going to prep courses for the music history placement exam (hoping to pass out of the lower history courses). My schedule at work is now finalized so we can plan events, game nights, people over a little bit better. I have rearranged the living room and did the bedroom this morning. We'll see what Thomas thinks when he comes home! :)

We have finally decided that we are coming home in January. We will drive the Camry back because there is really no reason for us to have 2 cars up here - parking is atrocious and when it snows, well, needless to say, we only need 1 car. So, we will drive it home and then fly back to New Haven. Taking the advice of friends we will apply for a zipcar so that in the rare cases when we do need 2 cars, we will have one! (And, doing the math, it's cheaper to use a zipcar than the keep the Camry up here). The weather is so pretty hot - but in a different way than SC - the hot air doesn't seem to move - so it's heavy and gross. Ugh.

I also realized that my birthday is Sunday. Wow. Who is keeping track? Not me! Good ole 22! Happy birthday Matthew as well! We have been hanging out with the Groths - which is fun to have friends up here from SC (or Ohio or Wisconsin).

Other news: the tomatoes are purple and we cut into one of the yesterday. We also finally bought a blender and made smoothies. And they were awesome. We have tweaked a recipe - and they were phenomenal. Time to go get more blueberries and peaches? I hope so!

Currently I am reading through the Narnia series - very nice to read it instead of seeing it! I have a new kitty friend that lives in a CD shop down the street from where I work. I try to visit him (Wally) everyday. I think we are becoming good friends! Anyways, I need to get ready to go into work! I hope you have a great day and keep trusting in the Lord!

In Christ,
