Betsey and her roomies were in a car accident yesterday if you all wouldn't mind praying for them. They are ok, but it's still scary, and they still have to fix the car and get back to school and all that jazz. I bet the road sign got the worst of it, though.
On a lighter note...congratulations to Kiefer Sutherland and 24, winners of Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Drama Series, respectively. The Emmy's were last night, and I would have watched Kiefer and 24 win, but I only got to see Jon Cassar get the director's award before I had to leave to go see Invincible.
Ok, Invincible itself was ok; not the greatest, but I did like it. The BEST part, however, was most definitely the guy that fell asleep in the front of the theater. He started snoring louder and louder, and we were peeing our pants behind him; it was HILARIOUS! The theater was mostly college kids, and they started throwing things at him and everyone was laughing. Then we got sick of it and about 5 people went over to try to wake him up; but they couldn't. They clapped their hands above his head, called "Sir...Sir!", and shook him, but he just snored louder. OH MY we couldn't breath after that! So one guy left to get the manager. He came in and shook the guy (when we saw him, the theater erupted), but he wouldn't wake up. So then he left. A few minutes later, a cop walked in!!! Oh my oh my...no one but no one was watching the movie at this point! The cop had to physically shake the guy and talk to him really loudly for a while before he woke up. Then he asked, "Sir, are you alright?" I don't know what the guy said, but once he was awake, the manager and cop left...and the guy stayed for the rest of the movie and didn't fall asleep again. Hahaha, oooohhhh my goodness, that was the best theater experience ever. And the movie wasn't even that great.

Relax, Everyone
Just so you know, my parents aren't dead, missing, or even pulling a surprise visit on any of their college-aged children. Nor did a storm knock out all of their electricity and phone lines for two days. Nor did they decide to up and move without telling anyone.
No, indeed, they were safely packing up and moving my older sister in a highly planned and advertised maneuver that my brain quickly filed away in the "Block for Future Panic" drawer. Life's never dull when you have a recorded message on one end of the line and a hyperactive imagination on the other.
So put away your bloodhounds, unplug the Red Alert alarm still buzzing in your mind, and prop your feet up for some well-deserved rest. Once again, your Wort of Worry has saved the world and your immediate family from pending disaster; and once again you realize how silly your fears are in the face of a God so huge that no matter where your family was they never really left the palm of His hand.
Love you guys, glad you're not dead! Call me sometime or I may forget the valuable lesson I just learned. :)

Food Food!
The Tharps came in tonight to move KT into the apartments...there are soccer girls there now so we just piled all of our stuff outside of our apartment door. The RA is super cool though and won't mind. In a few minutes we are heading out to eat.
Ok, edit that, KT and I and her parents already went out to eat. It was great (Lonestar, mmmm)!
Now we are pretty pooped and I just wanna go to bed. Tomorrow is scheduled as a two-a-day, but shhhh, Coach let a few of us in on a secret...we are having our morning practice and then we are going canoing! Woot! I love canoes, and this will be a GREAT reprieve from the practices we have been doing. I'm ready for a break.
Alright, I gotta get to bed soon. Only a few more things to move over to the apartments now! Our apartment is pretty sweet, you all should come down and see it if you have the time and the gasoline. We have lots of floor space and you could even have my bed if you didn't want the floor. There are 5 of us living there, however, so the first quarter will be pretty tight. Second quarter, we should be back to normal. Later, y'all!

Ho Boy
Like the sigh, come on people!
Anywho...it's the end of another day of two-a-days. Except so far, we have only had one day of two practices and one day of one practice (that was today). And I'm about dead. Just so you know. I'm just pooped, but my shoulders are pretty sore. They aren't used to swinging this much anymore. You know, you just never get that full-swing effect when you're working with 5-12 year olds.
The team is looking really good, though. We should be able to hold off on the drama for a while (hopefully the entire season). I'm proud of us. Our first scrimmage is this Saturday against Depauw! Woohoo! Y'all come.
Well I am going to go elevate my feet and collapse into bed sometime soon. Thought I'd keep y'all posted. And that chocolate death is sounding better and better.

Hey y'all
Back at Rose once again. Preseason meetings start tomorrow, and then official practices start on Saturday. Getting into the swing of things again will be interesting. I like my summers.
KT and I already went swimming in the lovely pond. Well, it's smelly, but it's pretty! They dye it and everything. And it wasn't even all scummy like it usually is.
Pictures to come...I am getting my favorites from over the summer (and spring break of last year) scanned so I can show y'all what you're missing when you're not around me EVERY SECOND.
Miss you, familia and Jaymi and Cassie and College Group and Sarah. See you at the wedding, I suppose. (think that's the nearest going-home date)
Later!

Have Appointment...Must Update Quickly
News, news...well, we had a shower for Emily up in MI on Saturday. Lacey threw it, and it was a lot of fun. Sidebar, Betsey and I and my Aunt Nona were an hour and fifteen minutes late when we were only going to be fifteen minutes late. We happened to miss our exit by thirty miles. We were almost in Lansing when we had been aiming for Grand Rapids. Yep. But we fixed that and made everything right as rain.
Four more days of work left, and then my internship is over! I had my exit interview today. That was fun.
AND, me and my roommate and probably the other junior, Amanda, are the only upperclassmen on the volleyball team this year! Yikes, that means a lot of responsibility; Coach has already told KT that we are in charge. We also have to design the T-shirts, so KT and I are working on that as we speak. Well, gotta go get the eyes checked out for new contacts and glasses! Whee...by the way, I'm kinda scared...when did I grow up and start having to go to the eye doctor by myself? Sheesh. Nervous. Ok, off I go.
