| i heart harry potter...
Find out your Harry Potter personality at LiquidGeneration!
on other quizzes i took, i was fred and george weasley, and ron weasley. apparently...i fit in well with the weasley family. as long as i don't take a quiz and it comes back saying i'm percy... is anyone else looking forward to the Harry Potter theme park coming in 2009/2010? i can't wait. i'm really looking forward to it. totally want to go.
i know i haven't written for a while. not much to update. my back has been hurting a lot for the past several weeks. i can't get it to heal. and i think my allergies are starting up again. great. i've been dogsitting since july 23 and i can't wait to go home and sleep in my own bed again. just 4 more days to go!
and...i go on vacation in less than 10 days. yippee!!! i can't wait. it's going to be a blast.
okay...all for now. | | |
| been a long time...  (the new die hard movie was really fun! if john mclane and jack bauer got into a fight - i just don't know who would win. they are both that tough.  )
wow. it's been almost a month since my last entry. i almost forgot about xanga! eek.
in the past several weeks, my life has been all about training. but not the actual training part - pulling off the training. running errands, setting meal plans, buying snacks, prepping snacks, setting up, tearing down, driving all over creation...this is what i have been doing for the past few weeks, and what i will keep doing until july 4! i'm looking forward to a nice break afterwards. it's been a crazy month of training, but i'm in the home stretch. yippee!
on another newsfront: my parents sold their house in huntley!!!! hooray! i'm so happy for them. this means that my dad will be officially retiring from 46 years of work at the end of july and he will finally move out to las vegas. it will be a tough thing for my dad - to all of a sudden not have to get up and go to work after all these years of pushing himself to create a good life for him and his family. if you think of it - please pray for my dad. for this major life transition into retirement, and for he and my mom to finally be together after a year living in different states. pray for their relationship and for them to adapt well to living under the same roof again.
i got to talk to one of my really really great friends forever (RRGFF) from college last night (lizzie!!!). it was SO good to hear her voice and talk to her. it's been several months since we last spoke and there was so much to catch up on. she's pregnant and due this month!!! i can't wait to hear all about the birth and to someday meet him! they're naming him aiden (or aedin) oliver. it's so cute! i really miss her, and it was great to find out how she is doing with her pregnancy and with marriage and everything. *sigh* all my friends keep moving to seattle - maybe it's a sign? 
well...that's about it. i'm looking forward to some vacation coming up in july and august. my mom is coming to chicago on july 16 to help my dad pack up the rest of their stuff and then she'll drive with him back to las vegas. and she's going to come up to madison for a few days to hang out with me. hooray! i'm looking forward to that. and then in august, i'm going with bora to boston to help her get settled before she starts law school. i'm super excited about this trip. it will be a nice long road trip, and we'll have fun doing touristy things before she gets all scholarly. 
alrighty, well have a good weekend, friends! and a happy fourth of july! | | |
| home alone...just watched: Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End
my house family is gone this week for a mini-vacation, so i have the house all to myself. it's great! i'm enjoying some rest and quiet, but my big goal for the week is to finish unpacking all that i can. i still have a lot of stuff in the garage, and i need to condense it down and get it ready for storage so i feel more settled. i just hope i don't put it off til the last minute!
had a fun weekend with bora. got to brookfield around 3pm on saturday. bora and i just drove around, went to the mall, walked around and browsed through shops. then we had a great dinner at cheesecake factory (and i have leftovers...yay!), followed by some more window shopping and watching pirates of the carribean 3 (BAD movie...REALLY bad).
then this morning, we woke up early to go to church before going to the Brewers/Marlins game. it was a low-scoring game, but the Brewers won and it was fun to go to a game. it was sold-out and the stadium was packed! we got a prince fielder bobble-head too. fun stuff. maybe it will be worth something someday. who knows.
now i'm at home, chillin' and watchin' tv. i'll probably go to bed early (sad, i know), but until then i'll just enjoy some much needed down time.
hope you all have a good week!

| the light at the end of the tunnel...well, folks, good news. I AM MOVED!!!!!!!!!!
i am SO grateful for all the people who helped me pack, clean, and move over these past several weeks...it's just so overwhelming. i feel very loved and very thankful. thanks to bora, becks, young and tim, steve and aggie, yii-shyun, diana, kara, jeremy and amanda, renee, lydia, joan, esther, keith and amy, kyra, kaeden, and GOD.  i hope i didn't forget anyone. it's been a long few weeks!
it took us 1.5 hours to pack up the Uhaul, move and unload it all. i can't believe how much stuff i have. it was hard enough condensing down into one room, but WOW. i thought i got rid of so much stuff...and yet, it still seems like a lot. i know i can unpack most of it and put it in the room i am living in, but still. WOW.
i am done unpacking for tonight. my back is killing me, but i am not even paying attention to it. i am just so relieved to be moved. i feel more settled now than i have for almost a month. it just feels so GOOD to be moved and here at my new home. i am so grateful to the hirata ohana for allowing me to live here. they are so generous and hospitable and very accomodating!
tomorrow i will be going back to my apartment to finish cleaning up. my good friend, amanda, is going to help me. praise the Lord! :) then...an afternoon at Brat Fest (if the weather cooperates) and more unpacking and settling in. i can see the light at the end of the tunnel...it's bright and cheery. :) hooray for good friends, and a place to call home. | | |
