Things that are awesome: ... Shopping for Christmas presents online,., My dad has been into this for quite some time, but I always assumed it wasn't as good as shopping at real stores where you could actually "see" what you were getting.  Well this year, I wasn't having much luck w/ my method, so I decided to try amazon.  I have found so many great gifts, and thanks to their "super saver shipping" deal where you get free shipping if you spend over $25, I haven't had to pay anything extra!  I've gotten some great prices on things, and its super convenient too! Try it out!

Things that are awesome: .. Public transportation.  I am legally blind in one eye, so I don't drive, and without the public bus system here in Minnesota, my life would be considerably more limited.  Even though I complain about it sometimes (the lateness, or buses that don't stop long enough for you to catch them..), overall this is a huge asset in the community.. not just for me, but for tons of eco-conscious, and elderly people too! The SW buses even have wi-fi now- I was able to watch "prison break" on hulu on my way into minneapolis today- how sweet is that?!!

Try it out!

Things that are awesome: Having a missionary for a brother. Jonathan has been on a cross country missions trip since august, doing street witnessing in various cities with two friends of his.  So far they have been to California, Washington, and Hawaii.. and tomorrow they're coming to MInnesota- yay!  The cool thing about being the sister of a missionary is that I get to know him as a whole person- I've watched him grow up, struggle with things, and come to this amazing enthusiasm for God. Plus, I get the honor of praying with him whenever we have the chance, and learning from him about all his different experiences.  I'm so excited to see him tomorrow!!

Book Review: ... This is a book I picked up from a thrift store, and boy am I glad I did. I'd give this one a 9/10 on the awesomeness scale.  It was kind of slow right at the begginning, but I grew to love the characters as the book went on and the ending had a FANTASTIC twist that I did NOT see coming. Basically.. the story of a girl who finds out her sister is missing, and comes home to London to find out what happened to her. Check it out!

Things that are awesome: ...Sisters in the faith.  Today I had to make a hard decision not to attend a social event because I felt it went against what the Bible says as far as purity, and so was at home by myself when one of my friends from high school called, and kept me company awhile with her chatter. :) She has an amazing faith herself, so I talked to her about what happened, and she encouraged me to be confident in the decision I'd made. Whenever I feel alone, God seems to send an emissary to convince me that I'm not. Yay Jesus-freak sisters! :P
