Tis the Season!

I am finished with finals- and as I sit here I feel like I should do something that has to do with school. But I don't... and now I get to gp home and rest! This semester was amazing and I am so thankful. Today I was so blessed. I had asked my neighbors if they were able to change the oil on my car if I bought the parts. Well today they asked for the keys to my car, and at first they said I could not go with them. I was a little confused and kept asking them questions. So they made terms for me that if I went with them I could not talk or make any sounds. Well, I had no idea what was in store. I was in for a surprise that's sure cause Scooter filled up my car with gas (mind you it was on "E") and Daniel paid for my oil change at Jiffy Lube. It was a humbling experience...and I am so thankful. This semester I have had more financial problems than I had expected but through it all the Lord has always provided, and in a surprising way He used my amazing neighbors to humble me and to shut me up and accept this gift. So... I pray that if you are reading this that you will go out of your way and surprise someone and bless their socks off- it might just even be spending time with someone. Tis the season!

... Off With Her Head!

Today I do not feel my best. I have a runny nose and a cough but my head hurts from my stupid accident. My roommate and I were over at our neighbor's house and my friend threatened to shoot me in the leg with his air-soft gun. I was sitting on the floor and went to turn away and nailed my forehead on their entertainment's glass door that was open. I hit my forehead right on the corner. Yeah it hurt but it was so funny at the same time and we couldn't stop laughing. I was so embarressed and was crying and laughing at the same time. When I looked up and took my hands down from my face they told me there was blood. I looked down at my hands and blood was everywhere. It was a group effort to get me all cleaned up. So there I was in the bathroom sitting and trying hard not to laugh because when I laughed my forehead would wrinkle up and it hurt. I had to hold my forehead back with my fingers so I wouldn't wrinkle the skin, but it was so hard to do when everyone can't stop laughing. The funny thing is that I didn't even get hit with the air-soft gun. Looking back I would take the pain of getting shot rather than a buise and wearing a bandad on my forehead the next day. So with my nose stuffed up, my cough, and my swelled forehead... I really just want to cut off my head. :) Today i only work until 1pm, so Liisa is going to take it easy today and get homework done. There is so much that is due...but I have a good grasp on my projects, so I am looking forward to getting them all accomplished. I can't wait for Thanksgiving because my cousin and his wife are going to be up at our home. They are actually moving to Moscow, Idaho as we speak. My family will now have family within the area and so that will be an exciting change.

My life has been so busy lately... and I haven't updated my blog for a while so it is about time. This picture was the weekend of Julie Harris' funeral in October. It was a wonderful memorial service of a life that was lived with joy and love. She was a servant to all she came in contact with, I am so blessed to have her in my life. So here we are... the sisters! Holly, Wendy, Lynelle, and I- we have so many memories and so much love!  Posted by Picasa

This was part of our group at the game...cheering for the Cougars!!! Posted by Picasa

So this is Daniel, our moms were college roommates, I've known this guy my whole life... and he's the one who got me out here to see a game. I am sooo thankful I took him up on that, cause it was my first Big College Football Game- pretty much the best weekend ever! Posted by Picasa

So my weekend was filled with football and fun!!! Everyone meet Mike, he's a friend from church who had the privilege to go with me to a WSU Football Game!!! We played against Stanford... we lost 21-24, close but not enough. I got one of the touchdowns on my camera in which you can hear the canon going off in the distance. And before we scored another touchdown, Mike totally called the play, he was like, "Liisa, you better get your camera out for this one cause their going to throw for a touchdown..." But it would have been too late to get my camera out, so I watched it and sure enough Mike was right (...when he said I'd put up A fight to be someone, a fight to be me- Switchfoot, just for you Cowbell!!!) and we scored. But I am too tired to write about anything else at the moment...goodnight!  Posted by Picasa
