My love fern is sick...

...what a sad sad thing that is. :)

Today was the least awkward girls' open dorms ever. It was actually pretty fun. All these random guys that I rarely talk to or hang out with came to my room and stayed for a long time. One guy talked to me about Africa for a while, so that was fun. Some random freshman guy came and asked me all these questions about myself, so that was kind of awkward...and my roommate laughed at me. :) We had some good times. We wrote "Smooch" and "Rizzo" (our nicknames) on our windows last night, totally procrastinated on our Hermeneutics papers, admired our "distracting" room, and wrote down a whole shwackload of quotes. Apparently like, EVERYTHING I said was funny last night. :) Yep...we have fun. I'm SO glad that things are going well with the roommate thing so far.

I'm not feeling quite so overwhelmed and stressed out about my life these days....and that is SO awesome. Care Groups started on Thursday, and we had alot of fun in our group. Then we had a picnic breakfast on Day of Prayer. I just LOVE the girls in my care group, and my care leader is just amazing. We've had some really really good talks, she's a huge encouragement.

oh yeah...my now married friend Ashley BUDD (Lupo) gave me the nicest gift ever last weekend. I came home from an interesting weekend in Edmonton (YAY PHANTOM!!!) and on my bed was this amazing QUILT! I was SO excited...I've always wanted a quilt, and it's random bright colours, which I love. So I grabbed the card, and the whole time I read it I could NOT figure out who it was from. I read the name at the end and just started crying! :) I could not believe that it was from Ash. She wrote the nicest note and she had been working on it for like, 2 years. :) So I saw her today and gave her a big hug. It was so nice. I've missed her alot...but I think things are going to get a little better now.

Ok, there's like 50 million annoying mushy couples around me right now...so I am really feeling the love. Ho man...so brutal. I'm gonna go read....yaaayyyyy...
