They also brought alot of special stuff- like snacks and stuff! :) Here's us down at the Lake, and then a pic of Margaret and I on a Foliage Drive the other day.. look on my web albums.. I just loaded four new albums.. I'll put comments up asap. :) Life is busy, ya know?! Write me! :) I will reply, I promise! I love Mail! Please keep those prayers a coming...

My twentieth birthday...

I had a wonderful birthday this past Saturday. It's so hard to believe that it's been only two weeks that I've been here. God has provided so many wonderful friends already. The first picture has Amanda and I at a playground near the college. Then there is a picture of Margaret and I by Lake Ontario. She surprised me by picking me up from the park and taking me there for the sunset and coolwhip and strawberries! It was perfect. She's from Australia and so dear to my heart already. She knew my love for oceans and water, and wow- she outdid herself.

From Left to right- Misty (next door), Ashley (my dorm Sup.), Amanda, Akeisha (next door), Melissa (works in kitchen with me and is my dorm) and then me in the front. Ya gotta love self timer, eh? :) They ordered a TON of chinese food. You can see more on my web albums. Just click the side link and you'll find it. :) What an awesome DAY! :)
