What's Going On

It is past midnight and I am getting ready to turn in. I've been up since five this morning. It has been a long day, but life is good and I must say...boy, I am happy! Okay, I just needed to share that because it is not going to be easy to take all this joy to bed with me. Things are not perfect, but they are! I have learned so much about life lately, I can only be thankful.

So what has been going on more recently? (random stuff, sorry I have to keep the really juicy stuff off the blog)

• My good friend Aaron is getting married. At the end of the month, Emily and I are flying to Dallas for the big day.
• Yesterday, I found out that my mom might be running for election again. Not sure how I feel about that, but I wish her the best.
• Two of the my brothers are having babies this year. Yeah! Noisier family reunions!! I must say, I miss you guys.
• Within the last week, I discovered that a very good friend might have cancer and that another's treatment was successful. I hope that you both live and heal fully.
• Last month, I got a small raise. Keep it coming, I need all the help I can get.
• Today, I found out my friends Rob and Alvaro are moving to Spain. Selena and I are going to be on the party bus with them next weekend! Thanks for inviting me, especially since I was a nutcase the last time we were on that bus.
• My friend Misato is visiting from Atlanta this coming week. She will be staying with me over the weekend. I miss you Misa and I am glad you will be visiting.
• Yesterday, I got a long distance call from Joanna who is in Davao (Philippines). It was so nice to speak with her. She let me know that everyone there is doing fine. Last week, her brother was detained by communist rebels at the foothills of Mount Apo. Thankfully, they let Sinting go after a couple hours. My mother lives in that area. I pray that they are all safe.
• A couple of weeks ago a bunch of us had the opportunity to witness the Sema. This is the special turning ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes.

I am going to hit the hay. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day with lots of things to look forward to. I hope everyone reading this is doing well.

Lots of love.
