old friends

This week one of my oldest friends definitely came through for me.  Actually, Jess is my oldest friend (besides my sister).  We've been through a lot together, since the beginning of middle school.  


Now, we don't get to see each other very much.  She went to a college near our hometown, got married, and moved back to the street she grew up on.  But even without seeing each other (or using the internet) we do pretty good at staying in touch.  The good old phone.  That's how we first developed our relationship and it's how we sustain it.


Sometimes too long passes before we catch each other and have a nice chat, but we did last Monday and it was just what I needed.  
We quickly run through what we've been up to and jump into deeper stuff.  


She calmed me down and the fact that she knows so many of my experiences she gives some of the best advice.


So this week (and always), I'm very thankful for her.

a minor other thing I was very thankful for this week:
Last school year Liz & I went to a school with the dome and a person cut off part of our rental car and it created a very long day.  Rubina & I went back to the school Tuesday.  The day was actually going exceptionally well for being a dome day.  All day we had a little pit in our stomach that the car wouldn't start at the end of the day.
BUT IT DID!
thank you person for not sawing off a part of our car again.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
