a good family friend of ours who is a freshman at state walked onto the basketball team this year. he has only played in a few games and last night he got to play for 3 minutes. we had some other friends over for dinner last night and were all listening on the radio to see if Staats would get to in, everyone went crazy when we heard his name, then he scored a three pointer! its fun to be able to get so excited about him playing, ESPN recapped it by calling him the "hometown hero," its so fun when a friend gets to play, it really gets everyone excited!
i just love the teams reaction. they're so happy! how fun!

i've been a stress basket the past few days here. not because of finals, and to make a long story short there's been mixups and delays on turning in an application dealing with my summer plans and my future. i've decided to my student teaching abroad during the summer. don't get me wrong i'm beyond excited! it was just a very quick decision and has all come together so quickly. i haven't really even had that much time to think about it. i've always thought i'd be back here for another semester and all of a sudden the end of school is getting much closer than expected. i mean i'll be in either south africa, new zealand or australia, i'm definitely not complaining. just a little nervous and anxious i think. i want to be adventurous but traveling to a foreign country all alone and learning a new school system seems a little daunting right now. but i'll be with kids, and i'll be challenging myself and learning so much. i think i need to give myself time to be excited about it. so let's go, bring it on! i know God wouldn't have put this absolutely amazing opportunity in front of me if he didn't want me to step up to the plate and take on his challenge.

"there are the friends you meet for the occasional happy hour, and there are the friends with whom you have longstanding taco tuesdays. taco tuesday means a bottle of wine for each person and peeling back the business-casual mask of the weekday while relaying mortifying tales of performed adulthood to one another. you hit reply all. you cried at your desk. you said "i love you" when you were unprepared or drunk or sober. any day can be taco tuesday. these are the people who fill in your blanks. there are the right people."
