Not Much to Report

Okay, so I just found out today that our "hurricane" was in fact a tropical storm. Who knew? You would never have known it by the way the family was calling and holding themselves back from calling. I talked to almost everyone more than once, including Frederick and Gangee. They kept asking if I was floating. Delivering babies in a tropical storm just doesn't sound as good as a hurricane (even if I do fess up that it's not so bad). So, for the record no babies and hurricanes yet. That whole deal did remind me of playing tennis in the snow when it wasn't that cold out. Anyway... Speaking of sounding unimpressive, this morning in Next Step (the middle school sunday school) we had to go around and say something spectacular that happened this week. I could not think of anything. Then Gram said that they had gotten an new island (you know, the cabinet kind in the kitchen). I high fived him because I knew how they have been talking about that for a while and looking. Then, I got excited and said, "oh, yeah, I did have something cool. I got a new AC!" Gram was then excited for me and said, "That's Huge!" We were enjoying each other's genuine excitement for the other. Then, I realized that to middle schoolers we sounded really old. I apologized and warned that how what you get excited about changes when you get older. So much for first impressions!

It's a bit Windy Out

So, did you know that we are having a hurricane here? Yeah, so it obviously isn't too bad or I would not be on my computer! Yep, it's been raining pretty much all week. And I have been at the Birth Center all week. We keep getting called though only one baby out of the whole deal:). I got to help deliver a baby this morning. I was telling Kristen (Gainesville Kristen, not Jacksonville Kristin) how much easier it is to be on call all week when we don't have classes. We have both enjoyed it. We had a good time when she came over and took naps the other day in between getting called the first night at midnight and the second supper time. We try to have a good time too. When she was here I couldn't find my shoes so I said, "I hate to ask this, but can I have a piggyback to my car?" We laughed the whole way out. My neighbors probably think I am strange. Laughing does help though. Yesterday after I got home I cleaned the house, opened the windows, and rested with my classical music on. It was wonderful. So, to make my life sound exciting- today I helped deliver a baby during a hurricane. To say it as it is, I am learning how to be a midwife with a long ways to go and it's a bit windy and rainy out:)

This One's for you, Annie!

My twin sister, also my best friend, just moved to Germany about two weeks ago. I know that a lot will happen in our lives over the next two years that we will be apart from each other. I have decided to make a blog site in order to keep up to date with each other. I am hoping this will motivate me to take some pictures and give more frequent updates. I am also hoping that you will set up a blogspot, Anne, and will send me LOTS of pictures! In the Beth Moore Bible Study a few years ago we had to write down the name we would use if we ever wrote a book. Immediately "Adventures in Faith" came to mind. I liked it since it is true that most of my adventures have come from yielding my way to His or following His nudges. So, when I had to name my site, I decided on that one. So, here is my new blogspot. It is for anyone who wants to read, but specifically for you, Anne. By the way, do you want me to eat those Jordan almonds that were in your top dresser drawer for you? I was looking for a pen! I'd hate for them to go to waste:) Wouldn't you? Ich liebe dich, Anne.
