Day 106: This is for the Fab 4. I love you.
Day 105: If I got paid a penny per second that I watch this every day...
Day 104: Someone got these seeds in the mail at work today from a hotel and I thought it was cute and the quote in the card was a good reminder-- "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome" -Anne Bradstreet
Day 103: So...not living in this neighborhood.
Day 102: It is my second weekend looking for apartments. I love the styl

I need a place to live,
and I don't want to give,
all my money,
it ain't funny,
I need a place to live!
Day 101: For the third year in a row, I have plopped myself for hours in front of the TV to watch the NFL Draft. I watched it for Mark. I watched it for Tom. And this year I'm watching it for Tim Tebow a
nd Veldheer :) Picture this. Me. On the couch. By myself. With my camera in one hand for the big Charger moment and the Brother Karamotzov in the other in case I got too bored. Watching the NFL Draft and crying at nearly ever pick because of the emotional congratulations that take place in each family as their son is picked. Think of all the effort they have put in for years of practicing! ha. I'm pathetic. Anyway, tonight, Round 3, the 69th pick, to the Oakland Raiders was Jared Veldheer, recent graduate of Hillsdale College and a member of the Charger football team. So proud!! The ensuing days I heard the Raiders mentioned several time as the ones who fared the best in the draft, yes!!
Day 100: ahhh! 100 days done of 2010. weird! I have nothing special to commemorate this momentous occasion...except for I saw this book written by a Kevin Boyle at the library and had to snap a picture. Actually, speaking of KB. I'll just take a second to thank him. I heard he gave his testimony at school this week and know it had quite an effect on a lot of people who could identify. It has been a joy watching KB grow in His walk and play such a great role in lives of the guys around him. I thank God for KB and our friendship and am so excited to see where He'll take him!

Day 99: I had to turn around in a random parking lot today while apartment searching and happened across Bekah's sister school here! Trinity School at Falls Church. Haha...I also saw the bumper sticker on a car. Small world.
Day 98: Today the train was abnormally packed and I was only riding part way so I took a main floor, less desirable seat. As people looked around trying to figure out the congestion and getting ready to complain, 3 soldiers walked down the aisle and one of them said, "I know
it's crowded, but it's better than getting shot at". The other two heartily agreed and several onlookers thanked them for their service to our country. It was heartwarming. I also became friends with the 50-year-old former sports announcer who knew all about Minnesota sports, inserted "Guuuurrl" every few sentences, and asked me if I was a model because my hair is beautiful. HA! The guy next to us eventually piped in as a Vikings fan. It was an enjoyable trip :)

I promise I'll be a big sister to her like you are to me! (also, it's looking good for the flower girl role since I haven't found a man yet!)
Day 97: I leave my house every morning at 7:00 am. Depending on one light (that is 3 minutes long and occasionally I get stuck at it twice) and the school crossing (with a very cute crossing guard..we've made great progress and now smile at each other. He's older, not a student, thanks)
, I get to the train station at 7:21, get out of the car at 7:23 and get on the train at 7:27. If I leave my house past 7:05, I miss the train. Essentially, one mishap and that's it. I rush to the station, watch the train pull away, and then turn around to get on the highway and drive 20 miles to the end of the metro. Anyway, today I literally ran through the parking lot to catch the train, leaving myself absolutely no dignity and almost making it so I can rest assured that at least 2 cars full of people saw my sprint. Lovely.

Lovely. Picture: Bust of George for an award we're giving at our next meeting :) Unfortunately the office discussion is that he needs clothes. Thoughts?
Day 96: It cost me 80 cents at FedEx today to look up Kelsey's house number to send a pie to LT. Seriously? What a rip-off!
day 106 makes me very happy.
