this weekend has been pretty great. :)
i went to an LA Angels vs. Seattle Mariners baseball game with my roommate, Sarah, who is from Seattle. she's a big sports fan so was super excited when she got to see her team play, granted the players were the size of ants by the time we got to our seats. haha we were literally in the highest section possible 2 rows down from the very very top. but they were the cheapest tickets and it was still really fun! and then there was a fantastic firework show afterwards played to the tunes of the beatles. it was quite a show. the poor little boy sitting behind us cried through the whole thing though. lol

then yesterday i got to meet up with my mexico team again! which of course makes my whole day better even if it's already a great day. :) haha and the girls decided that since it was a barbecue we would be attending at the doctor's house we would all wear sundresses. so we went to ross and sundress shopped. i didn't like anything i tried on so i borrowed a dress from one of the girls and it was so cute! she got it at a swap meet too. then we went to the bbq at a beautiful home with a gorgeous backyard. everything about the house was so warm and homey. it was nice. and even though not everyone from our team was able to make it i just love being with those people. it's always so happy and good. i would wish for every person to find such a loving community as the one we somehow have. everyone just fits together basically flawlessly. it's amazing. we were meant to be together. :) cheesy but totally true. it had to be God.

so i only have 1 week of class left and then 1 week of finals and i'm done. what?! uhh...i need to figure out what i'm going to do!!
but i'm looking forward to whatever lies ahead and am excited to see what's going to happen! :D

so basically mexico rocked my world. i am in love with my team members and the kids i got to work with all last week. i want to go back!!! i got to do some physical therapy with kids with cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and autism. it was amazing! God blew me away through seeing my team serve and be served through these incredible people! i still cannot stop smiling. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

i have been so rejuvenated and energized! Easter was lovely with my roommates. we went to a church service and then enjoyed the sunshine on the lawn with a mini picnic. it was fabulous!

ok, when i got back from mexico i couldn't find my keys and i could not remember where i would have placed them! last night when i was searching, brittany asks, "have you checked the couch?" and i was like "no, i don't know why they would be in there." but knowing our couch to be quite infamous for swallowing random objects we decided to check. here is a list of recovered items from our hungry little monster of a couch from the salvation army from this year:

• the remote (multiple times)
• my keys! (how in the world, i don't know)
• a sharpie (also mine)
• my iPod (which i could not figure out where it had gone-i was so confused...)
• a wishbone bookmark (surprise gift from previous owners! lol)
• a pair of scissors (crazy!)
• ID cards
• and probably countless other random items...

now we know, if anything goes missing, it was the couch!

in the mail today i got a postcard from my friend studying abroad in orvieto, italy! it was quite exciting! she is loving it and says it is beautiful! i can only imagine.

tonight there were 4 art show openings meaning 3 things, both of them good. 1)we get out of my 2D class earlier to go support our fellow artists 2)we get to see some good art and 3)free food!!!

and that meant i didn't have to buy/make dinner! yesss! :) there was sushi at one, pita bread and hummus at another, cookies at all of them, and fudge at the last one!!! mmm, mmm, good!

life is SO good!
