Great post, Carol-Ann! Thanks for the laugh! And Pat surely deserves the award! Andrea, too!

Andrea said...

Some one tell me to stop eating!!!! I need help!!

Jeanette said...

Andrea, stop eating! I know the feeling so well. And you will hate that you did it tomorrow, but right now it seems like the best thing to do. You are in the high stress time of your year, and so it is going to feel really necessary. At least, that seems to be my reaction. Try not to, or at least eat something that is going to be good for you. Chew gum, get a whole glass of ice and add water and sip it with a straw as it melts, suck on some of the ice.

I have a bag of really cute skirts (your kind, not mine!!!) which might be a tiny bit small for you that I hope you will be trying on when you come home. Dream about fitting into them...

Now I'm really out of suggestions!
Hang in there, Andrea.

Ha ha! The ELMO award this week - and I didn't even get the chance to pick up my award until the weekend! Thanks for the laugh!!

Stop eating, Andrea! (although this would definitely be a case of "do as I say, don't do as I do!"

Pat

I just love that Elmo Award!!

Andrea said...

I just wanted to announce to some of my closest and most encouraging friends that I have officially been accepted as a member of the Math for America Los Angeles Fellowship! I'm very excited about this opportunity! This entails a five year commitment; the first year will be spent in school earning my teaching credential and masters. The next four years will be spent teaching in the L.A. Unified School District. One of the best parts of this program is that I do not have to pay for the schooling and I will be recieving a stipend each year. This means that where I would have been accruing more debt by pursuing these degrees on my own, now I will have the finances to pay back the debt I have from my undergraduate years. Not only that, the University of Southern California has a great reputation, and I know that I will be recieving a great education in the next year. Needless to say, this is a great blessing from God!

How wonderful! How wonderful!
I'm in tears -- Kinza ran to tell her dad -- I grabbed the phone to call grandma but, unfortunately, she is washing her hair!!!!

This is SUCH good news! It's been scary to ask for updates just in case the news was not so good!

How thankful we are to the Lord for His continued blessing and daily help!

love ya babe,
Aunt Carol-Ann

Jeanette said...

Yes, yes, what a blessing this is! Not just to Andrea, but to all of us! We are so proud of you Andrea!
