| Okay, so I know this is awhile in coming but here goes.....five weird habits about me:
1) I have a sigh for almost every moment of my life. Those
of you who know pretty well probably understand what most of them mean.
2) I absolutely adore black licorice! See I don't think that is
such a weird fact or habit, there are many others who like the stuff
too. But, I have gone as far as getting licorice toothpaste.
3) I don't mind dumpster diving. You can find some awsome stuff
for free! On the top that is, I don't go digging.....too deep.
4) I work at a job where I contribute towards saving the world
everyday. Never thought I would REALLY do that. It was also
just an, "Oh, that would be kinda cool"! Go figure. I
consider it a habit because I spend at least 40 hours a week there.
5) I have been told I talk to myself. How would I know if I really do this, I mean, I never answer myself.
Alright Sarah and anyone else who reads this. There ya go, five
weird habits, a couple of which I think you already knew.
Talk to you soon!

| Okay so there is a sever weather warning posted for my area of
residence. You would never guess what it is, a far cry from the
severe weather of the midwest......an air stagnation
warning. There will be stagnant air for the next few days,
that just makes me laugh! Ha, Ha!
Work is going well, I was approached very early and unofficially about
a promotion :) :) WooHoo!!! I would absolutely love
it! If it happens I would be coordinating teams to Indonesia, how
cool is that? Well, I think it's pretty cool, the Lord works in
mysterious ways and there are a few of you, Sarah and Erin, that can
read more into that one. I also have been learning a lot at work,
or rather, the Lord has teaching me a lot. The subject of
learning?....conflict management, and learning to keep my mouth shut
and not gossip about stupid co-workers. Yeah, all good lessons to
learn, sometimes I wish we could ignore those and just go on gossiping
and slandering, but that is so far from the image of
Christ. I am having to learn to stand up for myself some
too and not let people walk over top of me. This can be a problem
for me especially in the position I am in as an assistant. The
problem is, the person doing the walking is the other
assistant!!! The one person who should have the least 'right' to
do so!!! Oh well, like I said lessons are being learned.
Chee!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to call you this morning but my phone
card was expired. What are you doing? I have been thinking
about you all day long, you must be up to something!? Spill the
beans friend!! The thousand or so miles between us doesn't
matter, I know something is up???!!!
Sarah, Yes I thought for a couple minutes once that I should move
out to Missouri..hehe, no really I would love to be out there to hang
out with you and your friends. I do miss you tons!!
Erin, it was really good to talk with you this weekend and I am praying
for you. Also I hope you have an absolutely wonderful,
stupendous, fantastic birthday!! Happy happy birthday!
Kim, thanks for the quick Xanga comment. I too have been meaning
to sit down and right a 'real' email to you and others. I am
sooooo bad at doing that though, as you can tell. It takes a lot
for me to keep this sporadically updated. I hope all is going
well for you. Are you at the same job, still liking it, how's
your man?
Okay, all for now, time for the beauty sleep so I can awake fresh for the battle of a new day.
Love you all,
Emily

| Oh my gosh, here goes two days in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what is happening, besides I am home bored and sick.
Ugh! Oh well in some odd way it's kinda nice to be sick, it
forces me to stop and take a break.
Sometimes I don't realize that I just keep going and going, like the
energizer bunny and don't stop to rest. It takes something
outside of me, either friends or getting sick to make me stop and say
Whoa Nellie!! Okay, so I really don't say that, but something
similar ;) I don't feel like I am always going, in fact sometimes
I feel like I am really lazy and when others say something like, do you
ever rest, or what do you do to relax, I kinda don't get it.
Maybe someday I will. Do any of you understand what I am trying
to say?
My roommate might be getting a new and improved job really soon which
will pay better and we were talking about going on a vacation
somewhere. The more we talked about it the more it really really
sounded good. Vacation always does, but I guess sometimes it
doesn't make sense to go on vacation, well the more we talked the more
it started to make sense. I have always want to take the train or
a cruise up to Alaska, I think it would be so beautiful and
relaxing. Where would you go?
Before I keep rambling I should stop and do some more browsing on the
net for things I want and can't have. I love 'window' shopping!!

| Okay, okay so only a couple months later I am actually going to take
two minutes and write something new!! I have probably lost so
many viewers now that not many will actually have the pleasure of
reading this.
So what's new with me, well still at my job and loving it. It has
been busy with all the disasters and stuff going on around the world
and here in our own back yard. I am continually learning more
about non profit humanitarian aid work. Hmm, not really the exact
direction I thought I would be going at this point in my life, but God
brought to where I am and I am enjoying it!!
Let me see, I am not sure what else to fill everybody in on. I
feel like work and church is about all I do these days. I cleaned
out my car yesterday how exciting is that!!! I had a birthday on
the 17th now I am closer to 30 than 20. OH MY GOSH!!! It's
all downhill from here right? NO, never, I refuse to give
in. Also because I am getting older and work all week my bed time
is earlier, which means it's time for me to go to bed now.....I can't
staaaayy awaa muchh llloooonnngggg
