tonight, yes tonight November 13, 2006, i will be attending my very first duke basketball game at cameron indoor!!!! tonight is not a very big game, but i'll be honest - i'm pretty excited. i've been watching duke play since i was a freshman in high school and i finally get to see them for real!

anyway, i haven't blogged in a while and a lot has happened! school is going well - it's very challenging and demanding, but i still like it. i must admit i am counting down the days until the end of this semester. my friend jo told us today that we only have 29 days left. i'm just hoping to make it 'til thanksgiving.

so a few highlights from the last few months... at the beginning of october i was able to go to d.c. and be a part of the northern uganda lobby days. i'm not very fond of politics in general, but i had a great time in d.c. listening to some amazing people speak, meeting other people who are passionate about uganda, and speaking with my congresspeople - well, talking to their staffers! i learned a lot about what is going in northern uganda right now. it has definitely challenged me and stretched me to think about some of the other issues in northern uganda.

another fun trip was going to auburn for the auburn/florida. those were happier days for the tigers and dustin and i had a blast. my mom made the classic southern tailgating meal - fried chicken, potato salad, and baked beans - which was amazing. this is the first time dustin has been around my family in about 11 years and he got to see them at their craziest during the game!

last weekend i got to go back to tulsa for the united 4 uganda weekend. it was great to be back home and see some of my favorite people. i met some more people who love uganda so that was nice. i got to spend some time with cory and lindsey and we were able to catch up on things. a lot of the high school students were at a retreat, so i missed seeing them, but hopefully i can visit another time and see them.

well, i'm off to k-ville! go blue devils! peace!
