| It's now October 11 and I am leaving for Fall Break after classes tomorrow. It's very surreal. I am not ready. I have lots of things to pack and lots of mental preparation to do. I am excited to see people, especially Cantley (of course) but I feel almost like I'm on a role and I should keep working. But then I remind myself that I am going to be working when I get home and I feel comforted. That's messed up I guess, but this is the way i think. You're gonna have to accept it. Okay, so I am writing this thing for my intercultural experience and I thought that I wrote something about my discussion with some of my non-Christian friends when I was in Ecuador, but I can't seem to find it. All I have is that God's grace really can be surprising to people. I believe that. It's amazing, but I forget what the actual discussion was about. I think that if I could ask for one ability, it would be for a better memory of God's workings in my life. Think about it. How often to you forget about the times when God has been so good. How often do you forget to pray for the people that you have talked with about Christ or who you know are struggling. I know that I often forget. I need to become a better prayer warrior. I hope that I will have a good chance to do this when life becomes calmer. But then I am convicted by Cantley's post about the most recent sermon he heard. Go read it, it was pretty good. :) But then again, I'm kind of biased since we are kind of getting married. Oh that's so exciting!

| I pretty much fell off the face of xanga world as of late, mostly because there are very few people who read this anymore, and the last time I wrote I was apparently in a rather bad mood... Anyway, there is not much to say other than, I'm engaged now and that has been interesting. Something about maybe this being my last semester at Covenant and needless to say, I am ready to be done school. There is a lot I am going to miss, but I am ready to start being a little more independent and, of course, since I am no longer on contract, becoming a raging alcoholic again. My brother went to college this weekend. I am smiling at the thought of him being in college. That's pretty much it. Just trucking away at life trying to love the now for what it is. My love out to you all! ~Kara

| I actually say "that smarts" in my heading. Wow. Seriously. Wow.

| There are drunk people around me as well as a lot of stares. I think that it is interesting the combination of professionalism and then the lack of it all at the same time. I have watched the tone in boot camp and then here in tech school and basically there are just a lot of people here like Thomas, but not in the good things, only in the rough around the edges kinds of things and the social uncaring of others. The whole thing is certainly an experience. One that I am not likely to forget. Also, I never forget the times when I stick out like I stick out right now. At this point, typing just gives me something to do so that I don't feel awkward or get pointed out by someone or talked to by anyone too wierd. Although, that hasn't stopped a bunch of them. Okay, it is time for this to come to an end. Love out to anyone who needs a little bit of it.

| I have been thinking a lot about the movement of our culture from things like xanga to facebook. Facebook is quicker and has more of an emphasis on pictures and communication that is quick and simple instead of a more discussion and purge your feelings aspect that is xanga. Just interesting... Not necessarily bad or good. Right now I am feeling more torn than ever between my what is now three homes: PA, Covenant, and Ecuador. This is just plain sad because it basically means that I am always going to be missing something somwhere. Today James Tuggy brought a video from his trip to Lima, Peru to our apartment to show us some things and I had to leave because I was going to cry. I never thought that I would have such a hrd time missing Ecuador. It really did become my home. I especially miss living so close to my bestest friend in the world. I could just walk to her house anytime I wanted to because she lived a block away! It was amazing. I'm ranting. I'm sorry. I guess I just hang on to memories too much and I should be focusing on the future, which is very full for me. I leave for New Orleans on Wednesday. I am going to SEPA. Then a week after that, I leave for San Antonio, TX to be there for Cantley's graduation. It is going to be really good to see him. I am also looking forward to be able to spend some really good quality time with my brothers. Hopefully I forsee a trip to Raystown in the future... Plus, I do get to see that amazing best friend again. Much love goes out to you all,
