What's in Iowa?!?!

I told Fung today I was heading to Iowa. Her response was "why...pick corn?"

Hm...we traveled to Dubuque, IA today. It took forever because we ended up on all these tiny, tiny roads that were going through neighborhoods with snow piled up on both sides of the itty, bitty roads we were on! Never thought we come out but eventually we did.

I did get to catch the second half of the Texas game...w00t! I thought I was going to miss it and miss out on all the action that was happening on the field! Finally an exciting game to watch! I wish I saw the stepson in action as it was happening. But in the replays, I don't think he did touch it. They only showed one angle...We won anyways so it doesn't matter! I still think Mack's stepson is A-W-E-S-O-M-E...it looked like something I would do too if I were on the sidelines where he was!

Time to attempt to go to sleep. I'm still wound up from the game! Pray that I don't break any bones tomorrow in my first attempt ever to be in snow and snowboarding =)

Chicago

My family and I have been in Chicago since Christmas Eve. We landed around 9:30 and my first thought when I stepped off the plane was ahhhh it's COLD! Both my uncles picked us up and took us back to the house. One of the uncle and his family actually live in Skokie, but their place is right on the outside of the city. Though the past few days haven't actually been too bad during the day. It's the nighttime that kills me. So far we've gone to Chinatown, downtown, Millennium Park, eaten, and shopped! It's been a lot of fun and many pictures have been taken =) Tomorrow we'll be off to go skiing/snowboarding. My sister and I opted to go snowboarding to prepare for our trip to Colorado after the new year. We'll be driving 4 hours or so to Iowa, so I get to visit another state! yay! Time for bed, tho I don't think the piece of burrito I ate has digested. Gotta love the holidays...

Tomorrow:
TEXAS vs ASU 7pm ESPN (We should be in the hotel by then so I can watch!)
HOOK 'EM HORNS

War wound

I am the most awesome klutziest person ever!
Scene: Teachers' workroom at Rosenberg Elementary
Scenario: I was cutting paper to make block letters for the kids. Knowing myself and working with paper, I tend to get paper cuts. So I am carefully working with all of this stuff. Well, I'm at the paper cutter, and I get tired of standing up. I sit down to cut the rest of the sheets into 4. Somehow, someway I get a cut. Guess where?!?! NOT a paper cut on my finger, BUT I get a cut on my right, medial side of my deltoids! At first I look at it, and it seemed to just be a small scrap. However, when I look down at it a few minutes later, I have blood coming out of my arm! Ahhh...are you kidding me!!! Geez, Annie! So I guess what happened was...when I was sitting down, I leaned too far forward to make sure the paper was lined up correctly, and then I brought the big handle with the sheer down. The end of the sheer caught my deltoids! Ridiculous! Who cuts themselves with a paper cutter on the shoulder area?!?!


Here's my war wound! 1/4 inch shy of being 2 inches long!

Thanks!

Craving...

Its been awhile since I've had some awesome worship time with lots of singing (possibly dancing)! Not that church doesn't have great worship leaders and songs, but you know, time with friends hanging out and singing! After listening and watching the Behold the Lamb of God last night, I'm craving worship time.
