The Sweet and Sour!

SOUR:
- Over the past month I've been having bad stomach pain. A sharp pain that shoots through my gut, usually after I eat.  I've experienced it before, when I first got in Ethiopia. I half joke that I have a parasite. Yesterday I watched a nasty video of a little girl having worms surgically removed from her intestine. Today I read up on symptoms... Maybe I should go to the doctor.
- Having a little nephew empty a tub of gel on your mirror and bed and you can't even get mad because he looks so cute with the other half in his hair.
-My Mother went to warm AZ and I'm stuck in cold Rexburg. Batam Biiird!
-Walking out of the house reguarly for the day looking like you "just got hit by a bus." hotttttie.
-Having 4 test one week then 3 the next. Can't a girl catch a break??
- Waking up at 5:30 am four days a week.
- Realizing there is not enough time in the day to complete everything that has to be done.
-Having a malfunction with photoshop while needing to edit an entire engagement session. (Don't worry, Cassie and Kenny, it's all fixed now!)

SWEET:
- Sunday night Alyssa and I made an ingera start. Which triggered the coolest dream that night!... I was back in Ethiopia AND speaking in Amharic!! This is a sign I need to go back, right?
- Making delicious veggie couscous, green salad, and salmon for the Father.
-Getting a free download of a Joshua James song.
- Actually getting homework done on time. Can I get a hooraww!
- Talking with my amazing Ethiopian Family on skype even when some can only speak 5 words in English.
- Receiving thank-you notes.
-Feeling the spirit while being remind of the importance of our choices at church this Sunday.
- Going to bed at 10 pm.
-Making a wish on a shooting star soaking in the hot tub.
-Hearing "the dumbest song you ever heard" sung by a 90 year old. The video won't upload, sorry.
