I am now a resident of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. I live with 3 other wonderful roomates in a beautiful apartment in town. I work about twenty minutes from my home at a place called Gateway Rehabilitation Center as a full-time evening counselor. It is wonderful and so difficult all at the same time. But one thing I can say is, God is good. :)

hey, this was from last night. I went up with two of my roomies to "monkey hill" just on campus. this one is andrea. We wanted to just see the sunset...can you tell I am obsessed with the sun??? I have already put up 3 pictures of it! Anyways, the ugandans here think it's pretty funny that I star gaze as well. They don't see any point in it. So, we went up and just read and watched it dunk behind the hill...and you know what I said? I said, "that looks like a red rubber ball!" (Yeah, that one's for you, mom. I know you'd like that. :)

well, I'll just post a few funny quotes I've been laughing about lately. We were in litererature class yesterday and although we've gotten used to the way they talk here, we still get thrown off guard many times. So, my professor was referring to huckelberry finn and the way he said it sounded something like jibberish...we all just sat there for a second in silence, then we all figured it out and one of the girls, Nikki said, "this is so fun...it's like we're playing mad gab!" Oh, and this girl, Nikki is a very hard name for my professor to pronounce as well. This "I"s have the accent of sounding like an "e" and the "k"s for their language come out like a "ch" so altogether, this makes nikki's name "Neitche" the philosopher who claimed God was dead. So, we definitely joke around with her about that one every time he calls on her. So, that's it for now, and I'll hopefully post some more later. Keep the comments coming or the emails...i love them!!! :)


hey, just thought I'd put up a picture of me and the girls in the raft. This was before the bujagalli falls where I fell out and felt like I was drowning, haha. Our guide is in the back steering in the yellow shirt. I am the one looking like an idiot. :) I am the further side, second from the front. I saw the camera man pointing his camera and no one else did. Maybe I was distracted too much and that's why I fell out. Well, Pam asked me to tell you where Andrea, Caitlin and heidi are from....Andrea is from converse college in South carolina, and she has a thick accent. Caitlin is from philly and goes to eastern, and Heidi is from Indiana and goes to taylor university. That's about it. Only andrea is in this picture, and I think she is the one in front closest to the pic. By the way, this is a picture of a picture I payed for so it's a little weird looking. I took it so I could put it up.
