It's been a good day!

Matson says hello!

I had the day off!! I love election day! Toby doesn't have classes on Tuesdays, so we got to sleep in together! Then we got up, showered, and went to the grocery store. We bought all of the ingredients that we need to make a crock pot chili and are planning to live off of that for a few days.

Then we came home and ate lunch and I have pretty much graded all day. We switch classes on Monday. The 1st term is done and the 2nd one is about to begin. I am not looking forward to it. My classes are HUMONGOUS and I am emotionally, mentally, and physically tired from this term. The disrespect has been unbearably worse this year. I just hope I can keep up some positivity to get me through this year! I am dwindling in that area. I am looking forward to coming home for Thanksgiving soon! We will be home that Wednesday evening and will be leaving on Sunday afternoon probably.

Tonight we are going to be eating at this fabulous gumbo place that Angel and Justin introduced us to!! It's called J. Gumbo. You should check to see if you have one near you! Then we are going to head to small group with people from the Vineyard. (Speaking of which, did you ever listen to that message on depression? You really should, it's amazing!) We are reading this book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. It's really good so far. It is discussing the fundamental issues in Christianity that keep us from being on fire, in love with God. I have been gaining a lot from it so far. Check it out sometime!

I am so excited for you and being able to sing during worship on Sundays! I think that is wonderful! It is great that you are meeting and becoming involved in your church!

I will write again very soon!
