Church was awesome again, the prayers for our tone-defness were much appreciated and felt, either the hymns were more in our range, we brought our A-game, or I wasn't paying attention to it, either way it was a huge blessing.

We've been playing a lot of Risk (the game of global domination) and the testosterone packed competition is about to boil over, Mom we need the Un-game ASAP (not really please don't send that, we'd prolly smash it under the 85 lbs weight) Speaking of, after smashing all kinds of fruit we have been inundated with flies. We each have one of those sticky tapes outside our door, last count we had 83 on ours and the other two look just as full, 15 on the one in the room. When its not ur turn at Risk you are on fly killing duty, we prolly average 75 kills a game.

WX update: desert winter is kicking in, without scientific measurements i'd say the after noon is "broken office air conditioner warm" dry heat in the day to "don't won't to go outside to pee because its too cold" nights.

Also - I have received several very thoughtful comments in response to blogs on here, but in my lack of know how I haven't been able to send thank yous, but please know I really appreciate all the support and would love email addresses to personally thank you.
