Dear Finals,

Dear Finals,


I am going to kick your butt.


Love, Kristi

:) Hahaha well, that's what I hope at least!

I have spent some time lately making sure my entire Jerusalem journal is typed...I had most of it typed but on long field trips and at church and such I would write stuff down. Well, I have it all compiled. I printed it last night. It is 87 PAGES!! Single-spaced! Holy cow, I just wrote a book haha. I printed it double-sided and I'm going to get it spiral bound so I can keep it FOR-E-VER. Yay :)

I've been home for 4 months already. Wow.

And I still miss it.

Life is pretty darn good about now, besides the finals. There's always setbacks. I've just decided that I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself (even if it's just once in awhile) because it really does ruin the rest of the good times! So while there's been some interesting and difficult things happen the past several months of my life, I'm getting over it and doing good right now!

There are so many good things that happen. Even if it's just tiny little things, it makes life SO GOOD.

For example, a week ago my sister Janine told me something very exciting:
Text from Janine: The best ice cream bars in the world have finally made it to the states :)
My response: MAGNUM BARS?
Janine: Yup!
Janine calling me a couple minutes later: I'm so happy you knew what I was talking about before I said what they were!

Other great things: my roommate prophesying the name and life of my future husband. Haha...Jeffery, I cannot wait to meet you!

Yep, things like this bring great joy. Especially when I know that I get to eat a Magnum Bar at some point in my near future. Like when I go to San Diego to visit Janine, we can eat delicious Magnum Bars together, ON THE BEACH, and be so so so so happy :) :) :) Hahaha joy! Yay foreign countries that produce the best ice cream bars in the world. And yay America for finally getting them here.

Until then...I start finals in 2 days, finish finals in 5 days (hopefully), move out in 8 days, be back in Fresno in 10 days. That countdown got really small really fast. I'm pretty excited for it.
