My New Passion

Tennis; my new passion. Josh and I started playing last summer, and this summer I am hooked. I love the andrenaline that flows through my veins while playing. I love the feeling of power after hitting a difficult ball. I love the anticipation of a returning ball. I love the sound that the ball makes as it connects with your racket. And I love the sigh of relif after winning a point (although this does not happen very often for me.)

Garbage Men

I consider the trash men a great blessing. Once a week they come to my apartment complex and take all the smelly trash away and I don't really have to think about it. But this morning, they were outside my house at 6:30am! I've been sleeping with the windows open because it has been hot. At 6:30 AM I hear the beeping, and idling and dumping. I was so irritated! I was just thinking about why they needed to be doing that at 6:30 in the AM. And if they did need to do it at 6:30am why don't they invest in some quiet machinery?! But all in all I consider the garbage men a huge blessing!

Isn't this a cool birthday cake!
