so,
about 800 miles, one speeding ticket (my first!), and a bloody foot later... i'm back from trisha and immanuel's. the beach was beautiful, but the company was the best part. oh, how i miss the whole family. :( and i'm trying to see when i can squeeze in a visit to go see edmund, when he decides to show up (which very-pregnant trisha is hoping will be very soon). the clan down there has taken to calling my nephew "michael, jr., jr." which you totally get and think is clever if you a) know that my brother and my dad are both michaels, along with the new arrival and b) have seen
everything is illuminated. good times. anyway, i can't blog for long b/c i hafta run to youth group before too long, so i'll throw a couple of pictures up here, and then you can bemoan the fact that you didn't go...
trisha, in case you don't know...and the beloved atlantic...
still the atlantic...

well,
it's sunroof hair time again... so nice. unfortunately, the humidity is hitting pretty hard already, and yeah, we don't play so well together. still, the days've been gorgeous, so i've been out with my camera (mostly taking landscape or baby michael pix, but, y'know). i wasn't actually gonna blog tonight, but i'm waiting for adobe flash player to load so that i can sew together a baby yawn i took in stills(assuming i have any clue at all about how to go about it). so, trial version, here i come! in an estimated 32mins50secs...
again, i know you probably don't care, but consider this the doorframe on which i mark my child's growth: bastian has over 5,000 miles now. this time for serious. and i'm driving to nc on monday, so we'll see how many that adds. :D super excited about that, btw. even though t&i warned me that i'll be essentially moving them into their new home the whole time i'm down there, it's so worth it. especially if edmund comes early!
pix are making it onto my harddrive! placed in folders by subject! it's crazy! (it's 8.5GB of crazy!) so, probably 9 or 9.5GB per year... that's not
so bad. if i can clear off a bit of hd space, though, that'd be nice.
so, yesterday was amazing. i can't even recall all the awesome, unexpected things that happened, but it was nice. it was just a decently stress-free day, which i appreciated. and then tonight was my first night of summer class. ugh! every fri night of the whole summer? torture. but at least we have an excellent, knowledgeable, and entertaining prof. it just might be worth it.
dinner tomor... today. church sunday and probably heading out to ashburnigan to party about moms' day. :D now kellan gets to join the crowd!
i had some introspective things to say, i thought, but... they're sooooo gone. and i'll have to post prof jim's quote sometime in the near future. good times. good insights, after one class. homework, too, after one class.
summer class schedule: fri 6-9pm, may 11-aug 17
tues/thurs 1-4pm, jun 19-aug 7
those wacky, wacky people. and i have to start my practicum search, like, now. and i'll be in peru from the 15th-22nd or so of july. hopefully i'll still find time for, y'know, people.
