Hello September.
Good morning everybody, and Happy September! I think today will be a really great day.
I don't have a lot of plans or anything, mostly just doing laundry and going to Walmart and getting things ready for the California trip. I have so much to do, and so many little things to buy! I hope I can get it all done.
You might be curious as to how the laundry situation is going. It's actually really awesome, because one of my roommates, Ashtin, has a great-uncle who is an elder at the Sunset Church of Christ here (that's where the Sunset International Bible Institute is, and that's where AIM is), and he and his wife have been letting us come over every Saturday to do laundry and have dinner and work on our homework. They live out in the country, about 10 minutes away from the apartments, and it's just really nice to get away from everything and have a quiet place to study. So that's where we've been doing our laundry. It usually takes about three loads total for all of our clothes, so that's not bad. After December we probably won't be able to do our laundry there anymore, since we'll have to walk everywhere we go and who knows - I might not even be in Ashtin's apartment anymore - so I'm sure sometime before then we'll all pitch in together and get them a really nice gift.
After we do laundry, we are going to Walmart to get stuff like luggage tags, earplugs, snacks for the road, etc. I need to get shampoo and conditioner and deodorant (not that I'm already out, but I might need some before too long!) and some Sharpies. Then I need to do some packing. We've been told to "pack lightly in a small bag." What does that even mean? How big is a small bag? Heehee! Most girls don't even understand that concept. My problem isn't that I have so many clothes that I want to wear - my problem is that I think, "Well, might need an extra tshirt or two just in case I spill something on this tshirt, and I'll need an extra pair of pants..." And that turns into way too much stuff in one bag! But I'm sure I'll get it figured out eventually.
Right now, my roommates are sleeping and I'm watching "Pride and Prejudice." It's one of my favorite movies ever. So romantic! I also just ate some blueberry waffles (they were frozen and not hard to make) - I figured Saturday deserved a better breakfast than the other days.
I need to start taking more pictures. I want to figure out how to put them on here so you guys can see what my apartment looks like. I'll definitely be taking pictures as we're on our trip this next week, so that's something to be looking forward to! I'm so excited to see this part of the country and to go places where I've never been before. It's going to be really awesome. Keep us in your prayers though, okay? It's a long way to go on a bus that may or may not be reliable. :)
Just one quick story and then I need to go jump in the shower. The day before yesterday was my friend Aaron's birthday, and we had a little party for him. Somebody made him a cake, and it was so good! Except, there was no milk. So I, being my father's child, came home to have a glass of milk really quick. (This was after the party disbanded - it wasn't like I left my friends to go drink milk! That would be sad!) So I got out a cup and poured the milk, and took a drink. The next thing I knew, I was saying, "WHOA! WHAT??" It was soured. Oh MAN it was nasty! It was pretty much the worst thing I have ever tasted! Looking back though, I guess I should have known it was coming. I mean, it had been in there for a while, and when I was pouring it, it did look kind of weird, and now that I think about it, it might have smelled a little strange as I was bringing the glass up to my mouth...But oh well. You live and you learn, right?
Hope that made you guys smile. Love you and miss you truckloads.
