Foreign Language Poll Update

An overwhelming majority of 75% (3 people, hehe) said that Spanish was the language they would most like to be fluent in. Only 5 votes were recorded for this poll, which makes it nowhere near scientific, but still lots of fun! New poll to come soon!

sew fun!

I am now a seamstress (a very basic one mind you), but a seamstress none the less. I have finally completed 4 sewing projects. As you can see, I'm quite proud of myself. I've managed to tackle 3 bandanas (2 for Moby, one minature one for Soco) and a long flowy dress to wear to Hawaii! I am so excited and incredibly motivated to make more cool things! Unfortunately, I am borrowing my neighbor and good friend Martha's machine. Thankfully, she's willing to help me! I'm really enjoying these new hobbies though. I also covered the back of my plain white bookshelf with some VERY cute contact paper. It no longer looks like a cookie-cutter shelf! I LOVE doing crafty home projects.
We finally have our new camera and I will be posting pics of all of these projects VERY soon! I'm also looking forward to getting my new luggage! I recently ordered Eagle Creek Luggage - I've heard great things about Eagle Creek and I'm REALLY excited about traveling in style (and with ease.) Here's what I decided to get:

The Eagle Creek Wheeled Underseat Tote in Tree Frog Green

The Eagle Creek Hovercraft 25" in Tree Frog Green

The coolest thing about these is that the smaller one attaches through a little pocket in the back onto the handle of the larger one, which makes them easy to tote together! I am super excited about this! I can't wait to get them in the mail!
*pics to come soon!

it's been so long

Traveling sure makes it hard to get back into the swing of things.....especially updating blogs....so here I am once again, and I'm going to try not to be so distant from now on. Nebraska was awesome. I didn't get to see everyone, but the people I did see make me so happy! I wish I could've spent another week. It's nice to be home, but I hate being so far away from friends and family! My recent purchase, and one I am SO excited about, is my new WEBCAM! I can't wait to Skype with my people! Woo hoo! Best of all, the entire thing cost $11 and since Skype is free, it'll be great! We leave for China in just under a month....27 days to be exact...and we're still finalizing hotel plans in Honolulu, and Toronto. We're going to be visiting 4 different countries in 3 weeks (albeit briefly). We'll be in the US (obviously), Japan, China, and Canada! I don't know exactly what I will look forward to when we get back, but probably the fact that we can relax for the next couple of months, until Thanksgiving when we return again to Nebraska. More updates soon!

Here is a recent picture from a stand-up comedy show at Zanies....we went to see Mike Birbiglia. Also, Em cut and colored my hair, so it's the most recent picture I have!
