Some of the people who are going to Israel and some other friends of mine went to an REI garage sale. We got there three hours before the store opened and there was already a pretty significant line. We got some pretty sweet deals, but I think that the best part was the time we spent hanging out.
Then, since we got some cheap stuff, we were all in the mood to go rock climbing. Jana (my new roomie) and I were getting dressed at the same time, and when we looked up we were wearing the same thing... climbing shorts, black t-shirt, and chacos! Haha. Here I am anchoring her while she belays Jimmy.
We tried out a route that hadn't been used in a really long time, so the rocks were slippery with dirt. Jimmy is climbing and Jana and Mike are watching.
For valentine's day the brothers brought us our favorite things! Mugs, alive flowers, and candles (and a platter...they are so practical)! It was the best thing ever! They even wrote us a very sweet note. They actually deserve their own post, but this will have to do. Thanks guys, you are the best!
Here is the mug they picked out for me. It has a picture of Da Vinci's The Last Supper. I replanted my flowers into a pot and now I get to drink out of my new favorite mug :)
Britt, this one's for you. Jon put some (valentine's candle) wax in a gash on your Fish, and we went to the beach. He actually got up on it a few times and even rode a wave with it....It can be done!
I learned a really important lesson about going to the beach that day. A lot about loving my roommates and taking Bible College seriously. I'll write about it later maybe. But now I am going to make scones for my neighbor (I borrowed her tupperware, and culturally-she is Indian- you don't return a dish empty) and then homework and a meeting about my graduation petition! AHHH
