Ok, there, I said it... "Weekly Update"
Yes, friends, its fall again, and hopefully I will be able to keep this up all semester. I'm excited to feel like I could have time to spend 20 minutes a week updating!
The last couple weeks have been really fun!!!
My friend, Kristen, had a birthday and we dressed up in 80's clothes, surprised her at the Starbucks (and 80'ed her up) and then traveled to "Skate World" where we skated the evening away to the sounds of current music (mostly hip hop) and some 80's requests that they threw in for us. Our last dance was to Thriller which was especially fun, since we had created a dance to Thriller during line camp. We all skated to the center circle and did the dance - so fun!

Last week, My pal, John Hickam, was in Dallas for a few days with his work (Boeing). It was great fun to be able to drive up to Dallas mid-week to visit him - especially since I didn't get to see him when I was in Seattle last month. He flew in on Wed and I arrived just before his flight. We got all dressed up and headed to Chamberlain's - which is a fancy steakhouse on the West side of town (I think). It was delicious, but even better was the company and getting to talk and make each other laugh. I always have a great time dining with John. After dinner we went to "Pete's Dueling Piano Bar" because John had thought it would be nice to go to a jazz lounge or something like it. Well, not knowing Dallas, there was no way of knowing that this would be nothing like a jazz lounge... but more like a bar that happened to have live music. That notwithstanding, it was a SUPER time. The pianists were incredible - they also played drums and the harmonica - and it was fun to sit and sing and watch people be ridiculous.
The next morning we had breakfast at La Madeleine (I think I like lunch there better, though it was good) and then we went to see where President Kennedy was shot. That was a fascinating experience. We saw the sixth floor window where they believe Lee Harvey Oswald was standing when he shot the president. We also saw the place on the grassy knoll where some people believe the shooter actually was. We met a man who was there when he was 13. Interesting experience.
Pictures again, to follow.
I drove back to Waco just in time for a baby shower for my friends Ryan and Kristen Richardson - they are having a baby boy named, Syler James and I'm really excited about it for them.
Finally, school has been overwhelming - at least in theory. There seems to be a lot of work ahead, but aside from reading I've mostly been working at work and not doing any of those aforementioned assignments. Hopefully I'll get on track and get ahead this weekend.
Our sunday school class is going well - I'm helping lead "The Other Side" - a class for post-college age indivs and I am enjoying it. I was hoping to join BSF, but it looks like at least for this month that I will not be able to. I'm still praying about how I can use my Monday nights as a ministry to me (aside from Heroes, which I'm excited about starting soon!).
That's all for now. Pics to follow. Thanks for being patient with me!
Love and Peace, Tiff
