I live! Sorry it's been sooooo long since I've last updated this thing! A lot has changed since I last posted and I have lots of great posts that I've written in my mind, but just never got around to moving them from my mind to my computer. So, here's a brief list:
*went to a wedding in Michigan with my friend Brandi...good times
*had a surprise going away party given for me by my friends from church, Brandi and Teresa---I was TOTALLY surprised with my friends from town...then five of my best girlfriends from college came running out!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. We ate (kielbasa and cabbage, of course!) and DANCED, DANCED, DANCED!!!! It was just a perfect night. I was truly honored and humbled by their love for me. It was just amazing.
*I celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday with my family. It was a precious time. My grandma is an amazing woman and she seemed to really enjoy her day.
So, there's the last month in a nutshell! I am now in Virginia at the International Learning Center in training to leave for Poland on January 3. It's really been great so far. Incredibly busy, but great. We're filling out form after form and going to classes, and eating in a cafeteria (including eating Moraccan food today without utensils!), and living in dorm-type rooms, and way busy...sounds, wonderful, doesn't it?
Today was the first of the immunization clinics. After teasing all of the people going to jungle-type places, I looked at my form for Poland and realized I'm getting 9 stinking shots!!!! Most of them are hepatitis series, and today I had a Hep A (I think), rabies, and polio vaccine. Don't worry, it was well worth it, because I got My Little Pony, Dora, and psychodelic band-aids--it was well worth it.
Here are a few photos of my band aids and my room. (ok, so I was just kidding about the photos---apparently they're not loading on my computer. I'll work on that another time.) Please pray for me that I'd get done what gets done here and learn what I need to learn to be ready for Poland! Thank you =)

It's good to hear from you! I figured you were very busy right now. Have you found out if you'll have blog access in Poland?? :)
Hey...there you are! I hope everything is going well for you in Virginia. I've been thinking about you a lot. Ewwwww...shots...I would never make it through 9 shots (even with the cute bandaids!)!
Glad to hear Jessica lives. I love you friend. I'm praying for you. I thought about you a lot today. I started the morning with a brief geography lesson for my kids. I saw Poland on the map and now that reminds me to pray for you and Poland. Kind of random and funny but definitely good.
Hi! I pretty much knew all this, but I always check your blog. I'm glad you finally had enough time to write.
Now I have a question for Amy, in case she reads this again. Where have you been? You are the one faithful blogger, and I miss you. I'm waiting for H'ween pix.
Talk to you son, Jessica.
Love, Mom
Shots - I completely understand. I had to have 7 when I went to Peru - 3 in the right arm and 4 in the left. The worst was the yellow fever shot! But it was all worth it once I got there. I am sure that will be the same with you! Be sure to supply a "real" address so I can send you more than just a blog/email!
Carsyn just got a shot of penicillin when she had strep throat- about 3 weeks ago. She still tells me out of the blue...
"mommy, I don't like shots. payton don't like shots too!"
Sorry about your pain...at least you got cute bandaids!
