Random Snapshots of my Life in Recent Days...

THE MUCH ANTICIPATED HAIR CUT:
Before
During
After
Praise Jesus for Jamie and her hair-cutting skills!


RELAXING ON A THURSDAY NIGHT:
Last night I made nachos (my favorite!) and watched The Three Amigos. I had forgotten how funny that movie is!


FRESHMEN GIRLS MOVIE NIGHT:
Freshmen Girls Movie Night was great! We made collages to describe ourselves, ate some homemade cookies (thank you Margery!), and watched Ever After.
Ayaka and me showing off our sweet collages.


THE O'DONNELLS ARE HERE!!!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO thankful for them! I am still amazed at God's great plan to put Jamie and I in the same neighborhood at the same time. What a blessing to have such a close friend here with me!
Jones and I enjoyed playing at the park yesterday while mom and dad were busy unloading the moving truck. He seems to make friends quickly with the locals!
Cute little guy!
I'm seeing plenty more moments like this in the future!


BEST SKI/SNOWBOARDING TRIP:
We had a great time hanging out and enjoying the snow. There was plenty of it as a blizzard kept us off the slopes the first day.
Why wouldn't there be a creepy life-size carousel off the side of the road when we stopped for a rest break? really?


THE JOY OF SIGNS:
I've decided to start keeping a photo album for all of the crazy English we see here. For example...
I think the idea was to be careful skiing/boarding into the lift area.
Run Attention: seeing this sign, would you understand that you're about to drop off a cliff onto a crazy black diamond, endangering your very life? I just feel like some of the meaning may have been lost in the translation. There seems to be a lot more communicated in Kanji. The drop off is intense, and I'm not sure "Run Attention" really cuts it, but then who am I?


TIME WITH THE LORD AT THE BEACH:
Yesterday I enjoyed some time in the Word and prayer from these rocks. Staring out at the ocean and listening to the waves reminds me of how big and awesome God is.

Hugging the Beach: it was so freeing just to sprawl out on the rocks and listen to the waves.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! i love that you took a picture of yourself hugging the beach. Not only taking the picture but that you actually hugged the beach... I love that you hugged the beach. I wish I could have been there to hug it with you... you are too cute.

Yeah and who was the amazing camera man that captured the scene with such emotion and intensity? He should go pro. I mean after seeing the picture I seem to feel like I was right there with you!

Seriously though it's been a ton of fun hanging out with you guys here in the Shiz.

Thanks for making me feel at home.
