Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Currently I'm in my Junior year at Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago. I am finishing up my degree in Elementary Education. The program is pretty much the hardest elementary ed program you could imagine, but I love it a lot because it's the only place I know of that you can be a Bible and El Ed major at the same time. We work really hard to that end, but it is very cool to be some of the first people to learn an integrative philosophy of Christian education. I can't wait to start practicing all this; and the countdown is on, because in a little over a year I will be doing full time student teaching.

Happy UnBirthday to me!
Last night my mom and the grandparents threw me a suprise 20&3/4 birthday party. I will be student teaching on my real birthday, and will not be home until June. So we celebrated early. If anyone was worried about these pics of me pouring the drink, you should be! Just kidding, it was fake alcohol. Anyways, a good time was had by all and I was VERY suprised!
Tommorow I go back to Chicago. It should be a busy semester with 19 credit hours (the biggest load I've done yet) but I like a challenge so it should be okay.
A Special Note for Caleb:
I had a lovely day thursday and was blessed with the company of my dear cousin Lauri and my Aunt Kim and my Uncle Keith. I also saw CALEB!!!!! For reals, though, it was good to get to see you all again. I hope Parump gets a little better for you upon your return. Well, a late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I love you guys a lot!

I must be really missing something 'cause I don't know why I got a special note. Sorry. A Very Merry Unbirthday to you.

Happy 20 and 3/4ths BIRTHDAY!! Your party looks like it was fun. Are you looking forward to getting back to Chicago where it is actually winter?

PS Caleb--My guess is that you told Leigh she should post more often on her blog. But I don't know, I wasn't there.

What's up with that? Is Caleb really that much better than me??!? Just because we lost in Bocce doesn't he's that much better than me OKAY?!?!? Just kidding. :) It was really great to see y'all and I wish we could've been there for your party. Happy unbirthday anyway!!!!

Okay, okay, so I left out the word "mean". But the sentence made perfect sense without it right?

Happy birthday from your official photographer. I will not be able to make it to Chicago in March, so I hope these party photos suffice. Suffice, by the way, is a useful, albeit archaic, word.
