Oregonians??

We are finally 1/2 Oregonians! Not quite full Oregonians though, because we haven't gotten our driver's licenses yet. But, we do have Oregon plates! I wanted the Oregon Trail plates, but Callie insisted on not paying money for the license plate and she seemed to think the blue ones are "prettier." Anything is better than those green and white plates though! :)

So...in case you haven't noticed, football season has begun. College football started this past week and the NFL this upcoming week. And in case you didn't notice, WYOMING whooped up on Virginia! 23-3 with only 3 offensive 1st downs for Virginia. Go Pokes! And, I wouldn't doubt a good stomping on the Giants this upcoming weekend for Dallas.

I finally took my first class at Western. It was really exciting. It is called "History of Missions." It covers the 2000 years of Christian missions, and get this....no tests! That's the kind of class a history major knows and loves. I'm excited to finally get lectured at and get the chance to discuss. This pre-reading got me pumped up and now I finally get to express my enthusiasm. I know it sounds dorky (and I, like you, used to not like school) but school that includes studying the Bible and talking about Jesus just doesn't seem like school.

Things have been pretty uneventful other than that. We've just been enjoying visiting churches (2 per week) and hanging out. The weather has been incredibly beautiful, but we got our first taste of rain this past week. So I guess you could say, it's the calm before the storm. We're so excited for Emi to get here. I think Callie is getting sick of me..... :) We miss you guys, we miss playing hearts, we miss playing Ticket to Ride, we miss playing b-ball at TJ's, we miss our tennis partners, we miss our dinner friends. So, you just have to come visit us! (we'd come visit you but we have no money ;) this school thing is expensive) Take care....love you all!
