UPDATES!

i'm very ashamed to see that my last post was in... (gasp) July! and it is now November. tssk tssk on me. i'm sorry, friends.

i will try to be better about my posting. things here just seem to be busier and crazier than ever.

here are a couple quick news updates:
-pete and i went to hong kong for labor day weekend. it was a food fest. we walked all around the island, took the metro and snacked on all kinds of delicious and strange goodies. we had a total blast. hong kong pretty much rocked our faces off.
-school has started! i have 19 little darlings and they're just as funny and cute as can be. i'm praying for a smooth, calm school year. let's hope my six-year old friends take it easy on me. : )
-pete is almost finished with his online Masters' degree! Soon he will be separating from the military and applying for a job as a teacher. we are excited about this new chapter ahead of us and look forward to the possibilities!
-i've been hosting a womens' bible study and co-leading it with some good friends. we have about 15-20 women who are involved and we seem to have a strong showing each week. God has really blessed this group and our studies together. We just finished the book of Hosea--it was really good and challenging. i'm also leading a bible study with my co-workers once a week. it's a place where we can all meet together to talk about the gospel (mark, mainly) and share our perspective. i've loved it. anytime i get to talk about the gospel is a blessing.
-lastly, i MISS you. every. single. one. of. you. (whoever you are)

i have some funny posts and will try to keep you updated. if not, please bombard my facebook or email with threats or something... :D
