holy-yipes...

College is beautiful. It's also challenging and interesting, but HOLY YIPES!!! It's really hard. Essays, class speaches, and just barely standing on the edge of sanity trying to keep up with events.

My biggest pain at the moment is missing yall tho. Every day feels like your faces are fading slightly in my mind, and that's a bad feeling. I've got pictures tho. :- )

I'll try 'n visit soon.

missing you,

Charge

So here's to the plunge.

Here's to old friends.

And here's to cliff-jumping.

I stand before an open sea.

On ship

Heave-anchor

Loose the sails

Rudder to the east

And charge for a new sunrise.

miss you,

i have many new and old friends to tell you about when i get home.

p.s.~ Adrienne,
i heard the alarm went off at the house the other day. hope you aren't in prison 'er anything. :P

p.s.s.~ Brittany,
Princess will eat pretty much any kind of dog food. just save you reciepts or write down what we owe you for the food and we'll reimburse you upon our return home.

well folks, this is goodbye for now.

time to show the devil not what we're made of, but who we're made in the image of.

i'll try and post a bit while i'm in Ukraine, but i won't have much time for it. Many many many thanks to Brittany Livesay and Adrienne Turner for taking care of my dog "Princess" and my cat "Kitty" while my family and I are away.

I'm missing alot of you already!

all the love,
