From strips
to different strips
It's getting there.
Also I'm still running a half marathon. Any support or donations are appreciated!
Dear voxers,
Recently I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Of course, I'm not about to sit back and take that, so I'm running a half marathon to raise money for vital research.

Please give me any form of support you can. I am totally dedicated to doing this and we can make a difference together.
I don't get to make quilts very often because 1. I don't have enough money running around and 2. I don't need any more quilts. So my future mother in law has given me some red white and blue fabric she has. The pattern is pretty simple but it'll serve it's purpose. And none of those dreadful triangles to deal with! When I'm done piecing it together I'm going to give it back to her and she'll quilt it. After that it'll be sent off to a hospital and given to a wounded soldier.
Books: Show us a great children's book.
Ok, well. Troy and I are engaged.
The girls are quite happy that the one who takes care of them gets her own pullring. =D
In other news I bought a brand new 2007 Rabbit because my jeep started dying. So far it's been a pretty rad car. I haven't been updating because moving and working and having a life is a lot more demanding than I expected it to be. But I am happy. I try to comment when I can. I am living with an old friend of mine and I spend my weekends with Troy and life is good. I hope all of you are doing well too, I'll be reading.
I should have more free time which means I will begin updating again! Yaaaaaay
Until then, here is a picture of me in my aparima costume. Please forgive the trashy makeup, pathetic attempt at fixing red eye, and 80's hair, they made us wear it. (It's called "stage makeup")
Hi everybody. It's been a long time. I promise I've been reading all of your entries. I haven't been commenting because I feel like if I comment on one I should comment on all and I just don't have the time for that right now. I thought I was taking it easy this semester but everything just kind of exploded in my face so I'm trying really hard to figure out how to destress and give myself more time.
I changed my theme. I never thought I would change my elephants but I realized they were kind of dreary and vacant looking and my blog needed to perk up a bit. Fortunately I found another more colorful elephant layout! =D
I found a video of last year's Aparima. This is one of the two dances I will be performing this year. (It will be a different dance, but the style is Aparima). I'm psyched! The girl that the video focuses on is in the dance this year. She's amazing. One of the girls you can see in the video was my roommate for a bit freshman year, and she is a total sweetheart. I'm so glad I get to be in this dance this year and work with these amazingly talented people and learn this beautiful dance.
I hope you are all doing well. Hopefully I will find the time to update a little more often.
My life is kind of sad right now, though not as sad as my mother's. She is in the hospital right now. I'm not sure if I should share her personal information.
I just spent the last hour or so commenting on everyone's blog posts I've been meaning to comment on. I'm sorry I've been absent lately. I guess blog more/take more pictures resolution is failing. I hope to take pictures of the quilt top (it's finished!) and my new girl Gloria soon. Until then, take care and I'll try to keep up with y'all.
I am back on with the paddlefish research. It's pretty exciting. The other day I prepared the solutions I need and now I'm just waiting for the samples to arrive to run the tests. Today for work I had to apply to be able to drive Univesity vehicles. I have to pick up a guy from his hotel and take him to the seminar on the 27th for the Faith Forum. It might not be me, but it'll be good to have the ability in the future as well.
I'm going crazy waiting for my Candy Carnival. I check the mail room every day and sigh when I don't see the little green piece of paper through the window of my UC box. Paisley is waiting a little more patiently than me. Here she is saving a spot for her new friend so they can play Monopoly together.
