Tonight is THE night

Dad is taping: Gray's Anatomy at 9:00 tonight.
I am taping CSI at 9:00 tonight
Bekah, Kristin and I are watching The Office at 9:00 tonight.

Seriously, people. I know I have a problem, but honestly, can't the networks work together and help me out a little bit? Be a bit more enabling? That's all I ask.


Oh, and I should mention that HEROES was AWESOME!! I cannot wait to see what happens next. So many new plot twists, so many new people. I LOVE IT!!

I love fall and I love the comics

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!!

It is finally here and I couldn't be happier. The air is crisper in the morning, the days and evenings are sunny but cool (read: jacket weather), and the leaves are turning their most beautiful shades of yellow/orange/red. I LOVE FALL!!!. It is absolutely wonderful. Last night I pulled out my down comforter from storage (aka. under my bed) and pulled out the sweaters that were packed away last spring. I am so ready. Yesterday was just the most beautiful day for the first day of Fall, too. It was nice and sunny but slightly cool. When I got home I went for a short little walk around my neighborhood to enjoy the setting sun and cooling weather. That has to be one of my simplest pleasures...or just random pleasures. I love to go on walks around dinner time (doesn't happen all that often unfortunatly) this time of year and enjoy the setting sun, the crisp, cool air, and all the smells of people cooking dinner on the breeze. Okay, cheese statement alert: This time of year makes my heart smile. It's true, folks.

Anyway, happy fall to you! Enjoy every second, it's the best time of year (at least to this Oregonian).

I finally did it.

Check this out:

Here it is right after Amy, my tattoo artist finished.

here it is today, healing very nicely. (My ankle looks funny. Pictures of ankles are not that great.)

If your wondering, that is Chinese lettering (written in Grass Style) saying "Run the Race," or more accurately "to participate in the race." :)

I love school!!

SCHOOL HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!! I love school, at least when I don't have to participate. I love when school is in session, especially here at the church. It's so fun to see all the kids around looking to cute with their backpacks and lunch pails (especially the kindergartners cause their backpacks are as big as them). It also means that there will be high schoolers around here again and we can get back on to our weekly Tuesday/Wednesday night schedule. It just brings a new excitement around here, I LOVE IT!!! YAY for school!

Oh, and I love that my teacher friends finally have to go back to work too. It's true and I'm not ashamed to admit it. :)
