February

Kathy reminded me that it is indeed my second month here (well technically I've been here since December 29th but it is my second full month!!), and I should name this entry accordingly because I have kept my resolution for one months, and can't wait to see what the next 11 have in store.

And I literally misspelled February four times. I try to sound it out so I can get the r's right, but I always mess up somewhere in the middle.

Well, those of you out there praying for me and my work, please be praying that I start to pick up quickly on what I am supposed to be doing because I've felt a bit lost, and I really do want to do a good job. I just need to figure out what exactly it is first, hah. Don't want to talk too much about it, but, yes, I would appreciate prayers.

I had the greatest surprise (another word I misspell frequently) at lunch today after working on this assignment, I check my email to see an message from my mom saying:

"Hey, early valentines happy! Go to AT&T at lunch & get a phone... Love u!!" 

I literally could not contain myself I was so happy. So 2 avenues over is the ATT store at the bottom of the Empire State Building. I walked in and got me a 3gs (it was only 49.99?!? Who cares, I can just skype at home instead of paying $200!!). Plus they threw in a free otterbox with it too! 

Mom and Dad are the greatest! I really was in dyer, dyer need of a new phone, and they decided to surprise me because they know how insanely passionate I am about surprises (see SNL - Surprise Party, thats me.)  I officially had my last conversation on that phone with Amanda, then I tried to play one song. Then see ya. Never will turn on again. It has been a strong, good, and faithful phone for a few months. It kept trucking through even when I wanted to throw it into a street puddle. That little apple sign would just reappear and give me a few more days of service. But, alas, I say goodbye... maybe off my balcony. Maybe into the East River. Maybe on fire. 

This new phone is fantastic. Every button works, and the vibrate isn't violently too loud. There's millions of possibilities, y'all.

Anyway, thank you so much Dad and Mom for my new amazing Valentines present! I feel like a kid again with how excited I got!

Off the conquer the world in my dreams...
