ahhhh, december!



this is how i spent my friday afternoon:

lounging in the backyard with a good book and a good dog

and

a walk on the boardwalk with a good dog

even put my toes in the water,

and didn't bother washing the sand off my feet when i got home.

how i love 72 degree december days!

evil little molar

i have a tooth i really hate. pretty sure it hates me too after the way it has been acting. two crowns and two root canals did not satisfy this tooth. on wednesday i had a surgical procedure done as a last ditch effort to save the little buggar. i was awake the whole time, it was a weird feeling being numb but still feeling the dr. work. i kept trying to figure out what the dr. was doing. my curiosity got the best of me so i went home and watched videos of my procedure (apiectomy) on youtube. slightly morbid? be grateful i stopped short of posting a link on here. the next day i turned into sponge bob square jaw.

then it occurred to me....i should have had this done AFTER the weekend holiday parties. with a swollen jaw and stitches coming out of my mouth i wasn't the prettiest girl at the party. oh well.

thanks

had a great conversation with my roommate tonight. reminded me of how grateful i am for good friends. it is nice to speak my mind without fear of judgement. to have friends who "get it" is a blessing. glad to be living in the house i'm in and hope i'm the kind of friend i appreciate. thanks friends.

p.s. thanksgiving was pretty great too. details to come.

i know some girls...

Sunday my roommates and I were over at the house of some of our good friends. The Ducommun House as I like to call it. We were chatting with our friends IH and MM*, MM had just finished telling us a story when his roommate IH announced that the sister missionaries were coming to dinner on Friday night and that they needed to have a few girls over as well - clearly hinting from inflection and eye contact that he meant me and my roommate. MM responded with an oblivious "I know some girls I could invite", not thinking about the two girls sitting on his couch. My roommate, IH and I burst out laughing. Bless little MM's heart. He still didn't get it and instead asked why we were laughing at his previous story.

This is my friend MM. Sweet and childlike. It's hard to not like him. And even harder to not laugh anytime he is around.

i'm baaaaack!!

Decided to start blogging again. My year hiatus was partly due to an anti-blog revolt. After it was referred to as online scrapbooking (ugh!) I started noticing that blogs were becoming weekly versions of Christmas letters. Got a little turned off. That isn't the only reason for the hiatus though; I started a Masters program in Special Education in October and found myself too busy to blog. And then came Facebook. And then this and that. But here I am again. I suppose the first thing is to update you on what I've been doing for the past year. Instead of boring you with a LONG post I'll explain my year in pictures. Enjoy.
