I never take pictures. I have a camera, but it is so unnatural for my to whip it out and ask someone to awkwardly pose with me so I can document the moment, friendship, experience etc. Also, there is always that one obnoxious person taking pictures at every turn with whom I end up getting ever-so-slightly peeved with because of their incessant demands to ‘smile’. Yet I find that I appreciate their pictures afterwards. And so continues the struggle… Anyways, the purpose of this post was NOT to talk about how I don’t take pictures (uhhh, how boring) but what I would have taken pictures of if I did.

Okay, this was sooo coool. I went down the the Natural History Museum in San Diego to see the Body Worlds Exhibit. I was nervous about seeing dead people, organs revealed and displayed but it wasn’t that bad. There was something artistic about each display along with anatomical and biological functions and facts. Each cadaver displayed carried a theme featuring a facet of the human body. It was fascinating to see how intimately our bodies are made. You should all go.

Monday I met with friend and former ISP leader Roxi for lunch at Jammin’ Bread in Canyon Crest. I would just like to say that she is undoubtably one of my favorite people. We do not get the chance to see each other often. But when we do find the freedoms in our schedule to meet I always leave feeling refreshed and encouraged. I love how our conversations are centered around how God has been using us and working in our lives. I am truly thankful for her; her individuality, her ability to see the sun shine through the rain clouds, her encouragement, and her friendship. Everyone should know a Roxi. :)

He treated me to Islands to celebrate starting my new job. He left me to wash his hands just before the food arrived, so I stole all of his fries. Knowing that I cannot keep a straight face to save my life I strategically passed him on the way to wash my hands. I only wish I could have taken a picture of his face as he wondered where all his fries had gone.
Picture 4: New Job [click]
I started my full time job on Tuesday. So far it has been going really well. This week is just preparation, training, and gathering materials. I have had a good time getting to know my co-workers and will enjoy working with them! I am really excited for next week when we are in the classrooms with the kids making the transition to a new class as easy as possible.
k, time for bed. I’m a boring now that I get up at 6 am everyday. G’night.
