love it

The Minnesota Twins won tonight (Thursday) and are now tied with Detroit for FIRST!!!!!!! This is awesome and I am pumped. JoE Mauer hit a home run in the ninth inning with two outs to tie the game. They went on to win in the 10th inning. This makes me excited.

Get excited for yourself and hop onto the Minnesota Twins website at...

an INCREDIBLE deal!!

So here's the deal....4 12-packs for $9.00, but then the best part is that if you buy 4 you get a $5.00 gift card! It works out to be $1.00/12-pack (some of the cans are 8cents while the others are 9cents each).
Oh yeah, the deal is at Target. SO, visit your local Target TODAY (well at least before Saturday). 

Minneapolis is the windy city.

i love this song!

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

And all of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thrist and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

election '06

Star Trib reported Pawlenty and Hatch are tied at 42%

blonde moment of the week...

Andrea (reading from her Spanish book): En Puerto Rico una China es una naranja.
You guys what does "c-h-i-n-a" mean?

Ellie and Steph: (burst out laughing) CHINA?!? as in the country?!?

Welcome to our statements.

1. On Tuesday, there was a fatal shooting that happened two blocks away from our house. The shooting occured on 12th and 25th around 5:30pm. A 22 year old was shot four times, and died an hour later. Also, a 7 year old was grazed by the bullet. We know that the shooting wasn't random, it was intentional. It was a good reminder to be aware of our surroundings in the neighborhood. But, we take refuge in God and trust that He will protect us! God reigns soveriegn over this neighborhood and the world!

2. Classes and school are back in full force! Andrea is taking three classes, Steph is taking four, and Ellie is taking two TBI classes at the North Campus. We are still currently at our jobs. Go T-Paw!

3. Andrea is going to Cameroon in December for 2.5 weeks! HURRAH!! What an amazing gift!

4. We MISS our dear friends in Arizona and Cameroon!!!!! But, we know that God is using them for His Glory in those places.

5. Pray for our neighbors. That we would have many opportunities to develop relationships and show them Christ's love.

6. We started youth group last Wednesday. Each of us will have a group of girls to mentor and grow deeper together in our relationship with Christ. Pray for that! We feel inadequate for the task ahead, and we need God to work in/through us.

7. NO Dutch Blitz has been played since the departure of Gabe and Julia Schmidt. Sad. :(

8. NO sweets for Ellie and Steph. NO caffeine for Andrea.

9. We (Andrea and Steph) are officially hanging up our "dating just for fun" shoes. It's time to get down to business!

10. This is a big deal. They are kind-of a big deal around here. THE TWINS. Hopefully, they will go to the playoffs.

OH, CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN

if only we had known you in eighth grade...
