IMPACT was last night, the first one of the summer. it was nice really, the only thing i really missed was the worship music, because i absolutely love that, but we kind of did a different thing. everyone was able to choose one of three sessions to go to for a smaller-group type thing. i went to a cool discussion lead by pastor ben, where everyone just kind a discussed a few issues that were brought to the table. i gathered a lot of new information, and kathy taught nikki and i something very useful.

will picked me up and brought me to IMPACT, which was really nice because he and i really don't hang out as much as we probably should. he's one of my only friends left from sjms, and i cherish his friendship a lot. he taught me a very cool song on guitar after IMPACT. that was a good time, and he even let me drive his car almost all the way to my house (shhhhh.)

i visited more people at the new Copps Food Center again yesterday. those cool people included alex leahy, stan, and jake fuller. yay for them! tomorrow i might just have to go there again and visit miss lindsey higgins.

oh yeah! i went and watched my brother's tennis meet, that took up the majority of the afternoon. it's always nice to watch some quality tennis.

other than those exciting things, my day was basically the same as everyday. christina and i have been really good about running, which is fun, and i really am enjoying the time we have to run and talk.

i just read ashley's blog, as i patiently await her arrival back to appleton (hopefully with the ball!!) PS KELLI RECIEVED THE BALL TODAY! YAY!!! that news absolutely made my day. anyways, after reading ashley's blog, i've realized that i do not know the difference between further and farther. honestly, what is it?

all the days of the summer so far have been fun, but i'm still waiting to see what God has in store for me, really. they all seem so normal, and i really want God to use me in a way...i'll keep you posted.

ahh, today. i'll keep it short. i got up really late, went on a bike ride with sonja, which was really nice to talk with her, went to work, then played tennis with matt. some how, he beat me (but it's not over yet!) it was the most unlazy i've ever seen matt! believe it or not kids, he was running all over the place. i think the funniest part was when i took a whole game by simply talking about save-a-lot. matt was serving, i started to talk about save-a-lot. he must have gotten really distracted and just kept on serving really bad. that store rocks my world.

i was thinking, if i want to send cotton candy to a person in the mail, would it melt in the summer heat so that they would end up with a bag of [sick, melted] sugar instead? let me know on that one, i'd appreciate it!

tomorrow is friday, the week seemed pretty quick! then comes the weekend (which i can't wait for. it's hard to hang out with somebody for 10 days straight, and then not see them at all...so i am very excited.)

the slow summer has also given me beaucoup time to practice instruments! i hope that continues

i hope everyone's summer is going wonderfully..
lo
