  • I received a call today from Drexel University. Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but from the way she spoke I feel pretty certain that I'm going to get into the program. WOOO-HOOOO. She was calling to tell me that the deadline has been extended to Sept. 12, and asked if I thought I'd be able to get all my materials in by then. It was just the way she said that, as if they had moved the deadline just for my benefit or something. I'm probably reading too much into it :) 
  • I ripped my favorite shirt in an unmendable way. Blah.
  • The weather is gorgeous today. So nice. And last night we went out side and looked at the stars for the first time since we moved here. They were brilliant. I'd forgotten about this benefit of living the rural life. I can see the stars again!
  • When we went to the science center with the kids, we all went into a small room lit up by a black light. While we were in there, I noticed that there was some sort of substance all over my hands that glowed under the black light. It was creepy, because whatever it was did not show up in normal light. My hands were totally clean. Under the black light, my hands looked like they were part of a CSI crime. I've finally decided it must have been phosphorous from the dishwashing detergent. So weird.
  • One of Chris' YM leaders (sort of equivalant to a youth pastor) recently died in an airplane accident. I met him a couple times, one at our wedding and one when we visited him in Phoenix. When Chris was 14 or so, he took him and several other guys up in a small airplane. Chris has told me that story many times, and he remembers it so fondly. It's really sad to learn that this man died so young and under such tragic circumstances.
  • I'm so happy the kids are back in school. Yay!
