We are having fun in PA. It is an absolute blast, however I am getting a bit homesick. We have fun on a daily basis. The place we live is wonderful and the people we live with even more so. I am still homesick.

The kids love to play with Abbey and Sophie. I love my time with Kelly, and I am getting to know Nichole and really appreicate the new relationships I am getting during this time.

I would have really liked to have gone to the movies with Grams, Kir, and Mom yesterday. Miss them.

Anyhow. I am pressing on with my MDP papers and reading. I am thankful to say that I finished "Scaling the Wall" last night and submitted my paper already. So, that is good. I am also half way through a devotional that has been assigned to me, and I am really liking the progress I am making.

I am reading a book called "The Pact". Both my sisters like Jodi Piccoult. Em got Kir to read "My sisters keeper" and now she just finished the book I am reading last weekend. I have been wanting to read a book along with someone just to enjoy reading it and discuss, so since Kir really liked it, I picked it up. I am actually about 150 pages into it already. I am happy that I am able to delegate my responsibility with the MDP reading and fun reading. I am pretty much allowing myself only to do my "for fun" reading during the night and my "serious" reading all through the morning and day.

We are going to have a good day. I am sure of that, but I am allowing myself to be mildly sad because I would love to see my friends and family.
