Convo 2009

The young people's convocation and legislative assembly in Wisconsin went well. I have officially ended my service with the group (I served for two years as secretary and treasurer and for one as chair) and have happily handed the reins over to a great new executive board!

And now I'm back on MSU's campus for "good" (meaning I don't think I have to leave town for at least two weeks!), have internet in the condo, have classes in two days, and will once again start blogging regularly!

It's good to be home.

All Systems Go!

The condo is officially complete - WE HAVE INTERNET! YAY!
That being said...I am leaving for a weekend young people's event in Wisconsin. Starting Monday, August 31, you will have full blogging reports. Apologies until then, folks.

Cell Phone

Ladies and gentlemen...it has happened. Becca has a cell phone. Welcome to the New World, Rebecca.

Happy 2009-2010!!

Ladies and gentlemen, here we go!

I have officially moved into my condo at MSU, and the 09-10 school year is fast approaching! I do not yet have internet in the condo, so blogging will not resume in full for a few days yet. But it's coming soon...as are classes, homework, church choir, and many other wonderful, fabulous things!

Walker Bros.

Barb and Todd took me to Walker Bros. today, a family pancake place. Had this huge apple pancake that Gregory would love...
I think we're either doing an art festival in downtown or the Children's Museum this afternoon. They have a barbecue at another family's house tonight, which I'm skipping in order to pack without the kids underfoot.

Becca in Cairo

Just to let everyone know - there will be a different blog for the Cairo trip. I may continue to post on this one with random, personal stuff. The Cairo blog is designed for people who want to keep up specifically with the trip, so it will be more edited and probably slightly more formal than this one.

The address is: beccaincairo.blogspot.com.

Again, I may keep posting personally on here. But I suggest checking the other one.
Love you all!

Chicago Fun

Hey All - Sorry; I've been atrocious about the blog. Internet is limited and the kids are too much fun (and/or too demanding...in a wonderful way).
The seven-year-old created an office in the loftspace of his room last night, complete with paper-made laptop, cell phone, iPod, calculator, and briefcase. Freakishly adorable. The four-year-old girl and I enjoyed a theological discussion last night. ("God is everywhere?" "Yep." "In the mirror?" "Yep." "In the light?" "Yep.")
Biked to the Metra Station today; took the Metra downtown; obtained my passport and visa with no problems; biked home; went with the dad on errands. (It's very possible we bought some ever-so-vital ice cream drumsticks.)
