whats so super about it?

I am sitting here in my apartment, watching the superbowl. I cant help to feel sadness because i remember where i was, and what i was doing this time last year. I was with my family at my grandparents house watching the Giants and probably the most exciting superbowl ever. NOt only was i with my family, but we were preparing to, in 13 days, fly across country to get little gracie girl. I just can not believe it has been a year. Its so crazy how fast life moves, and how quickly things change. I still remember how i felt when we left..the night before and even 13 days previous, as we were watching the game. Everything at that time was "this is the last time we ________ (fill in the blank) without gracie!" And that was indeed the last time we watched the 'big game' without the final member of our family. Though she didnt care for it much today...she didnt have a nap and fell asleep at 4pm for about a half hour..

This weekend home was good. I cant believe its February already! Where does the time go. Classes have been good..its still quite hard to get into a routine though but im getting there. This weekend at home i emailed Bethany Christian Services (gracies adoption agency for those readers who dont know) and i asked them if they were accepting interns. I would love to intern/work there someday. It would just be so cool if it could come full circle like that. It was such a life changing thing and i just want to be part of it. So i have been praying that i can do some work there! Also the exciting event that happened this weekend was that my grandparents came to stay over. It was nice to see them. I felt like we were all down the shore again. I also tried aunt debbie and uncle blaises church. They were having a youth conference this weekend so there was a pretty sweet worship team there this morning. The message was great too, its just what i needed to hear. Its weird how at a bible college you still have to go to church on sunday to get fed. I have to be careful that i dont grow complacent and that my heart doesnt get hard from being in chapel and being 'in church' everyday, and i need to look at the bible as the word of God and not just another textbook...it can be hard sometimes...

I am waiting for the game to end so i can watch an hour of the office, then go to sleep and get started on my week...i wonder what this week will bring..excitement i hope.

Eddie you will be excited to know that i plan on doing some shooting this week. Its been a while since i picked up my camera..i need to blow off the dust and go exploring around my campus. I think there is a basketball game at my school this week, so that should be pretty interesting to shoot...
