there's no place like home...there's no place like home...

except for kansas. and that is where i am going in the morning. i will return new year's day. CAN'T WAIT!














oh, and there's still no place like home. i like my city a whole whole lot. there are lots of places i love, (pittsburgh being at the top) but i feel like i want to really BE here.

happy new year, everyone!

Merry Christmas.

merry christmas, all. I've been quite busy and such. currently i am sitting on my bed with a cuddly cat named cooper. but he isn't quite the same as my old side kick Illias-The-Dog, and i've found myself missing that little red bundle of fun during the holiday season. work has been fine and uneventful, hence the lack of blogging. I joined a church, though, and that was nice. also, I am slowly but surely making friends. slowly. very slowly. and speaking of friends, i am heading to Kansas City for New Years! It was a moderately spontaneous decision. Julie is coming with me. We shall have a wonderful time.

my brother is flying in today and i get to pick him up at the airport. Christmas Eve is probably my favorite night of the year. We read A Christmas Carol out loud. I love it.

the only sad thing is that the babies will be staying in Africa until August. we miss them a lot. to compensate, i obsessively look at pictures of them and check their blog.



i love you all. be safe and happy.
