Funny story of the day...
Last night, Amy, Katrina, and I went out to Ace's for dinner, where we talked and talked and talked until our food got cold (well, at least mine did...) and we realized that the whole restaurant was empty. Then I noticed that they were vacuuming the floors. And so we decided that maybe we should get up and pay our bill and be on our way - which we did, all the while still laughing and talking. As we were walking out the door, we asked our very obliging waitress what time they usually close, and she told us , "Mondays and Tuesdays we usually close at 7." It was 7:40!!!!!!!!!! AAAH!!!!!!!!!! We felt like very terrible, insensitive people who should have tipped more...even though she assured us that she would have stayed this late anyways to clean up (which she had done all around us while we ate into her evening free time.)
But wait, there's more!!! Upon arriving back on campus, Amy and I dropped Kat off at Paul's townhouse, and went to the campus centre to check our e-mail. Of COURSE, Amy got an e-mail from Sam, and so it is no surprise that she was a little flustered/distracted on our way out to the car, and I was on the phone with Michelle, and as we opened our respective doors to get in the car, Amy says, "Wait! This isn't your car!" She was right. As we were walking up to it, I thought it looked a little too clean to be Tallulah, but I figured it just wasn't as noticeable at night time. But then Amy realized that her bag of clothes wasn't in the back seat, and the light bulb in her head came on much faster than mine did, at which point we collapsed in hysterical laughter in the parking lot. We DID find Tallulah. I had parked her over in the ATM parking slot, and the other car wasmuch more visible, right under the street light, the first car you lay eyes on after leaving the campus centre. Only in Houghton! Where everyone leaves their car unlocked...Otherwise, we would have had car alarms going off and suspected theft... :)

Hi Bexx!!
The neatest thing happened after I got off the phone with you last night. I called Mark and asked if we could pray together about all this stuff...and we did, and I found myself suddenly not needing to pray that God would work things out, because I knew He would. Instead I prayed that God would help us to trust Him and have confidence that He would work things out. I was so overwhelmed and worried about it, and it was so neat to feel like God was saying, "Hey, you don't need to pray that I will work things out. I will. Just pray that you can trust me." Cool, huh?
Then this morning I woke up and checked my email. One of the big stresses has been this fellowship application. And in my email they told me that the deadline for summer funding isn't until March 1 (academic year funding is Feb 1). So then I felt stupid and went back and looked at the website. And nowhere on the website does it say there's a different deadline for summer funding. But now I have an entire extra month to pull this together.

Thanks for the reminder, Michelle - I needed those words! "Hey, you don't need to pray that I will work things out. I will. Just pray that you can trust me." Wise words. And wonderful that your deadline is extended! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! :)
