Today I walked into the 2 1/2 year old classroom to pick up a few friends for their Phonics class and a little friend ran up to me, grabbed my leg and said..

"You are a Beeach!"
"excuse me?"
"YOU ARE A BEEEACH!"
"No, thank you, I don't like that, I am a teacher not a....and before I could finish my sentence I had three more little friends all around me yelling "you are a beeeeach, Kristin is a beeeeach, Ms. Kristin is a BEEEAAACH!!" and the more they said it, the closer they got to saying the real thing!

Today makes a week since I had pieces cut from my stomach and duodenum and several biopsies taken from my colon and I am finally feeling a little better! I can eat a normal amount again, I am just a little hesitant about my choices and scared to drink my nightly herbal tea! Thanksgiving was no fun...food wise! The doctor told me the day of what it was (or looked like) and I have tried not to google it too many times and diagnose myself, so now we are just waiting to hear the test results! Please pray with me that it is something easy to treat and FIX and not a life long condition! I am very sick and tired of being sick and tired and want to have my life back! I want to make plans and not have to always cancel them because I have a horrible headache or am in the bathroom! My (our) list of things to do before we start to try and have children is very short; get me healthy, go to Africa, have a savings account in the upper five digits! The tickets to Africa are bought and now we just need to get me better and then save and save some more!

Mr. Macey..

Happy Birthday to...
the boy who left a dozen roses outside my dorm sophomore year because i had a horrible boyfriend and he knew i deserved better!

the boy who sweat in a giant foam suit all night to be my shining white tooth!

the boy who danced with me at every pi phi and beta formal even though he didn't want to!

the boy who had to stand in front of a whole room of pi phi's and tell them how he proposed to me and sing the beta song to me!

and finally HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man that I married and who makes my dreams come true everyday!

do you have any...

Nick asked the head of the school we will be volunteering at if it was okay if we bring things for the children and what types of things would be best. This was her reply, if you have any of these small items around please let me know, I will come to you!

Yes it's a good idea, but please do not bring anything that would cost a lot as we do not want the children to think they get a lot from overseas volunteers. Here is a list below of things that you can bring if you have them at home :


- Old blanket or towel for animals

- White board marker

- Any educational game (easy ones)

- Calculator (it's good to teach them how to use one !)

- Puzzle (easy one)

- Card game

- Any little present that we can give them when we do game and that they win such as :

- cheap watch

- sample perfume (given usually when you buy perfume)

- any small cosmetic

- any small little cosmetic bag or accessories for girls

- any hygienic stuff like small soap, tooth brush, body lotion ect....

- small packet of sweets

- any small kitsch toy that usually privileged children get (it must be cheap as we don't want to give expensive present such as computer game ect....)
