The Best Family

Today has been a long day already and it is only 9:30 pm. I have yet to eat, but I have been doing this for awhile now that I think my body is used to it. Not exactly something I want to brag about. Most of the day, I am stuck at school. Learning, or attempting to learn, biology and, actually learning, music theory. Thinking of food makes me super hungry. Food break. I guess wheat crackers will do. Ugh commercials. I just want to watch the Olympics. Not commercials, especially food ones. I got home 12 hours after I left and when I got here I had mail. Just as a side note: I LOVE RECEIVING MAIL so if you want to send me some. ;) So I had mail and I got excited. I like to try to recognize handwriting, so I covered the corner and released I knew the handwriting! I smiled wide and my dad looked at me like I was crazy, but I love this woman. :) My long-time friend, fondly dubbed Joey, sent me mail. I just want to reemphasize that I LOVE RECEIVING MAIL. Back to my story: I thought Joey was sending me a card or note saying she missed me cause I am that awesome or something of the sort. She was not. I opened the envelope and I saw a check. A check for $200. On top of that, I went over to my aunt's on Friday to hang out with her and my uncles and grandparents and cousins and mom and step-dad. We were having Cincinnati chili- the only chili I will eat. (It was amazing too.) Anyway, my Uncle Wink had come up to the Dallas Fort Worth area from Houston and we were all hanging out at B's. I had gone early by about an hour to just let B know what was up and hang out with my youngest cousin, Zoe. BB and I were talking in the kitchen, Wink being the chef was in there as well, and Brandi asked me how YWAM was going and if I was almost to my goal and my uncle pulled money out of his pocket peeled off a $100 bill and handed it to me. I started crying. It was the last thing I expected. From both Josanna and Wink. I am now down to $250. Y'all, I am going to YWAM Madison in September!! So excited. I will also find an address to the base at Wisconsin. Here you will be able to send money to me and receive a tax write-off. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO DO SO YOU **MUST ** PUT MY NAME AND "OUTREACH" ON A SLIP OF PAPER. And you can also send me a letter. ;) My friends, thank you. P.S. It is now 11 pm
