Livin with Mom and Dad (again)

I can't believe I've already been home for a month and a half!  Time flew since I've been back with you and dad.  Its weird to think the next time I write one of these I will be in Kenya.  Well since my last post I have been staying busy volunteering at church with the communication team and helping plan the worship and communion service.  I have also spent a bunch of time catching up with old high school friends like Angie, Tommy, Kyle, Danielle, and Okado.  I forgot how much fun they all are and how much I like being around them in the city!  Plus you have introduced me to some great new friends up here too.  Hanging out and gettin to know all the Chapel people has been more of a blessing than I could have ever imagined.  Julie and Jess and your whole team have been so good to me, and watching how much they love you and dad has been really wonderful to see.  You really do live in a great city with wonderful people!
        I have also been babysitting the cutest kids in the whole wide world
the past few months.    Cy, Charlotte, and Piper have been so much fun to hang around and I have also been hanging with the Frantz and Haecker kids too!  I forgot ow much fun it is to hang around babies and how cute they are.  Its also good training for me before I head  to Kenya and work with all those kids.  But I'm not so sure its good because now I cant wait until Paige and Jed have a little baby!
   I love you guys so much and thanks for letting me spend the last couple of months with you.  Its been relaxing and fun and a great way to gear up for my trip!

Jan Blog! New Year!!

Sorry this is actually my January blog, Ill have lots more to say for February.
Anyways, I miss you guys!!! We're trying really hard to figure out when we're coming, so hopefully soon! New Years was very quiet this year which was suprisingly nice, Jed had to be up for work the next day at four so Stef and I just watched the ball drop and had champagne. Work is getting better, not so crazy busy and I'm really liking most the people I work with. Jed's loving his job still, had some cool stories and arrests in January, which always makes him happy. He might be switching to graves coming up in a month or so, so it looks like I'll be having sleepovers with the dogs and/or stef. It only lasts for like three months so it's not so bad. Our big thing right now is just looking for apts. I really like some in Simi just down Madera and so did Jed so looks like we'll be real close to B+C! It's two bedrrom, two bath so now YOU can visit!! I'm excited to move and redecorate everything:) Rather then that, I still have the drama group meetings here on Tuesdays and I'm looking into some different classes to get into. The biggest change this month are the two barking additions. The dogs are doing great, Chloe is a huge attention whore and freaks out not being pet. She also waits till we're asleep to jump on the bed and squeeze between us. Roxi is doing well, kida freaked by Chloe's size but it's so funny when they play.
I'm reading John O's new book, "The Me I Want To Be" and love it so far! read it yet? So everythings good on the west coast, Trent and Chandler are visiting Thursday too which should be fun:)
Love you and miss you guys like crazy! SEE YOU SOOOOON!!
