grad school

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

i just booked my flight to atlanta in november for my first in-person, on-site class!

I'M SO NERVOUS ... AND EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!

sigh

finished my harry potter book last night. and cried.

missed the characters today. cried again.

obsessed with literature? who, me?

thought you'd be glad to know ...

that i feel like i am RADIATING happiness right now. :-)

it's 12:43am, and i'm reading book 7, and i love my life, and i LOVE my LIFE.

thank You, beautiful Savior, for ... everything. Your loveliness astounds me.

my life as of late

if i had to sum up my recent life-activities in 3 words ...

work
Harry
Potter

money

ack.

life

absolutely crazy. but still wonderful. but still crazy.

soon i'll be traveling for work and life will (in some ways) settle down for me, so i'll be a more routine updater.

how's life for YOU? post a comment; i'd love to hear from you!

thanks for asking, luke ...

i did get my blood test results back, and they seemed normal to the doctor. since things are NOT normal, i have to go back. :-(

great day!

Hooray, today was lovely!

Details:
church at wonderful North Haven (i'm really thinking about becoming a member) and seeing the youth group girlies

lunch

work shopping

made banana cream pudding

washed the dishes

wrote my next draft of my story for writing group

read HP5 for a bit

went to Vespers

now i'm home, and i'm happy! :-)

writing all that down, i realize that that might not look like the greatest day to most people, but i feel SO productive! and, as i said, happy! :-)

if i could talk to eir, that'd complete my night!!

lifelight 2007!

hooray! i'm back in sioux falls for the lifelight music festival, fourth year running (for me)!

a bit of history: it was at lifelight last year that i began to be a consistent blogger. :-)

i'm excited to meet lots of great new sodak peeps! pray for me, des, rachel, and sarah, that we connect with lots of kids and have a blast! :-)

bed time

but i'm up posting on my blog.

i love my life. i DO wish i could sleep for about 4 days straight though.

love.

happymeal

doesn't a happymeal just seem like something a person deserves after having their blood drawn?

i didn't get one for myself, but something about it seems quite right.

i survived today, OF COURSE.

results should be back in a week or less. pray for me!! love love!

doctor tomorrow

and i am scared to have my blood drawn. hopefully they will discover what's wrong with me though! pray!

love love,
jackie lea

long time, no blog.

i'm sick. pray for me! i go to the doctor on tuesday.

lots has happened!

camp was fanTASTic! but of course!

i spoke for des' youth group in the mankato area.

whit had a High School Musical 2 party at her place last night.

i love my life.

35W Mississippi River Bridge

Today it collapsed.

This is the road I take to go to eir's house.

It is a bizarre thing to watch news coverage of devastation that has occurred in my own backyard.

My stomach feels sick, and when it begins to settle, I look at the TV screen and there it is again. This is about 7-8 miles from where I'm typing right now. My roommate was ON this bridge 2 hours before it collapsed.

Please pray! The death toll is up to 6 so far. I feel so sick when I think that I might know someone involved. I am watching Facebook status updates to see that my friends are ok.

circular?

i have been a consistent blogger for nearly one year now ... labor day weekend will mark the anniversary.

congratulations to me.

megs!

she's back in MN for three weeks for a med school rotation at the U!

huzzah!

we had dinner tonight with amanda; then they came over to my house and we looked at megs' africa pics and watched her camp videos.

WELCOME HOME, MEGS!!!!

emmaline!

i went to tracy's baby shower today, and it was lovely seeing her! i saw her for about an hour last october, and not since then, so it was nice to not only go to her shower but to spend a few afternoon hours with her at her parents' house too.

yay for old friends!

yay for baby emmaline joining us soon!

it's so waaaaaaaaaaaarm ...

blah blah blah.

write to me, people.

love,
jls

stunning

that's what jada was in her wedding yesterday.

sigh

i'm lonely for some of my friends right now.
