I want to be in New York already.

Hey.  I'm in my room right now, I had class this morning.  This week is short because we get Friday off for fall break.  And on Thursday night my group will be en route to NEW YORK!! I am ecstatic.  I have 3 tests standing in my way- one tomorrow, one Wednesday, on Thursday.  Hopefully I can pull it out and not fail them all.

This past weekend Alison, Olivia, and I went to Valdosta- where Al is from- to make jelly.  It was so fun!  It was relaxing and really good to be in a home, plus Alison's mom is the most welcoming sweet person in the world (rivaled only by Sherry Kernodle).  It was great.  We sat around and ate way too much food- baked brie, mulled cider, homemade pizza, ratatouille, salmon, etc.  It was delicious.  Making jelly was actually not hard at all.  I think that's what I will have to do all the time from now on because I will now be a snob toward store-bought jelly.  Hehe.

I talked to Mom this morning and she told me that Mr. Lunsford passed away over the weekend.  We can all keep Mrs. Lunsford and their family in our prayers.  That is so sad.

Lindsey- I hope you had fun with Rebecca and mom and dad this weekend!  I am now the only family member that hasn't gotten to go to St. Louis and see you.  Not bitter.

PS.....what should I be for Halloween in New York?  There will be seven of us girls there...plus maybe Kevin (Becca's bf).  What should we all be?  On a similar note, this is something from an email that Kristin sent me the other day.  I laughed and died.  My someday child will definitely be a peep one year for Halloween.

Love you all.
