lizzy and i had a feast tonight -thanks to kirsta's leftover food -chicken enchiladas!! it wasn't until the gooey goodness was sticking to the roof of my mouth that i realized what my life had been missing for the last 3 weeks -cheese. consequently, (and for a few other reaons like chocolate, graham crackers, and mac and cheese), we're setting out ot find costco on thursday. armed with our marked up subway map, a long shopping list, and a huge rolling suitcase, we will conquer costco like never before.

the past few days have been especially hard for me emotionally...but God is so faithful. i wake up in the mornings in a kind of panic, as if i don't know where i am or what i'm doing here. as night comes, i dread going to bed and not falling asleep right away, therefore having time to think about people i miss. i've ended up memorizing psalm 91 and it helps to have something come instantly to mind whenever panic threatens. thank God for elizabeth -she gives amazing hugs.
