company

last night our friend brig and his newlywed wifey, jamie, came over for dinner.  timmy made his AMAZING taco salad and they brought yummy deserts.  we hung out for like 5.5 hours.  it rocked.  it was just fun to be around people you didn't have to totally introduce yourself to as you were hanging out.  it is also important to mention that dawn (the childrens minister at ntcc) took me to fort madison yesterday and we went to a sweet two story thrift store and shopko (kind of like walmart+bed bath and beyond)  i got a new scarf for fall, and some necklaces im going to altar and a cameo pin that im going to make into a necklace.  i also found a sweet smokey the bear t shirt for timmy.  at shopko, i didn't find quite as much, but i did get a sweet pair of flip flops and some more hand sanitizer.  gotta love that.

meeting people in keokuk has been fun.   it seems like we've been here a lot longer than two weeks, in a good way.  it was really fun to have people over last night.  i hope we get to do that a lot more!  a few students have been dropping by, which is great.  we did have to make a rule that if i'm by myself boys can't come over and vice versa, but it's been great having kids over so far! and we can't wait for that to happen a little more!

i also can't wait to get a girls group started.  

so much excitement!  

right now im watching "inside the bermuda triangle."  i love tv.

love.
