Good evening, ladies,
So great to hear from all of you. I guess it's my time for some typage. I'll start from furthest distance and work my way back to here.

Miss. Sen of the Dirk<>Hope A country is treating you better...that sounds like a story right out of a book/movie... hilarious...I think I learned new ways to smile/gasp/chuckle while reading of the tale. If anyone can handle that, it's you though, miss travel-aveler. Take in the beauty...have you heard about the rain we had in June..."April flowers bring mayflowers, mayflowers bring the pilgrims"... and the pilgrims apparently brought high pressure systems from the northwest. Thank you pilgrims--we owe you one. (Special props to anyone who followed that twisted mind pathway!) Be safe. Have fun. Praying for you and your adventures. Love you. <3

Miss. Guhloowchee,
Missing you. I am sorry to hear about World Vision and their lack of paying you/appreciating you appropriately... Maybe they lost a contact (badump-CHING) ..... (Did anyone follow that silly joke?) Glad to hear that you are able to hang out with Mateo! Good man! Your apartment is probably not at home because..... you need a FERN! ALL HOUSES NEED A FERN! (A love fern, ideally). Just kidding-home is where the heart is-not completely surprised to hear that your heart is not in Hburg, land of the capitol, and Palumbo's, but sad that it's not more homey for you. The summer is moving along quickly now, yes? Sort of. Sometimes it's fast, and sometimes it's slow, I think. NYC-sounds like a perfect little reunion. Love and miss you. Thanks for keeping tabs on Grantham. We all need that. Praying for you and also for your job hunt. <3

Miss. Dubya,
Great chatting with you the other day. Hope you had fun at Dominic's. I think I figured out why your (and all) long distance relationships are hard. I've calculated this very carefully, and I think it can have something to do with how far away you are from the other person. BRILLIANT! I know, I know, hold the applause. Treasure your moments together! "Love is a battlefield" (Not only a new hit song, but also, and 80s classic). And if love is a battlefield, I think you've gotta be like, "whoah, war is not the answer-let's go get some Chik-fil-a, which, as a matter of fact, is what I said (minus the war part) and what is listed in my pre-school survey, as what I would do if I were given a dollar. {Direct quote: "I'd get my Chik-fil-a"} ....and the wandering thoughts continue. Praying for you and for your missing of him. Love you. <3

Miss. rhymes with doll (ahem: that's me)....
I have been up to really enjoying my time working at church. Lots of stuff to do, but not nearly as much pressure as my friend who is the Children's Director. I have a desk (which I'm not at a ton), and a phone number extension, and an email account, and a mailbox, and keys---um, go ahead, it's okay for you to call me a grown up---or not really.... the only things missing: benefits and a salary and a job opening, which hopefully I will locate, somewhere, somehow. I am working on trusting God's plan right now. I've heard a lot of people telling me that-I need to focus there. Tomorrow I'm taking off since I worked last Friday, and most other people took off...we did not know we had off (Cara-the children's director-and I).
I've seen the man a few times. I've only been to visit him once, though, last weekend for 4th of July. I get a lot of junk for that whole, you never visit me thing, but it's valid, and I honestly haven't been able to go since then-work on Sundays for awhile at the beginning, and other stuff on the weekends. He's been here a few times, once b/c he was doing work in the area, and once b/c I got tickets to a phillies event from a friend from church.
Going outlet shopping tomorrow afternoon with my mom-very excited for that!!!! Love to hang out with my parents more and more. Probably b/c I am understanding them more and more.
I love you and miss you each and all a whole lot. Praying for you all.
LOVE SO VERY MUCH,
HREE
