Okay, okay....I'm finally posting!

Alright, after hearing much grumbling about my blogging sabbatical, I am finally making a new post! I was maintaining that I was not posting because I had nothing newsworthy to post about, thus you would just be reading more of my stupid rants about pointless things like tv advertisements. However....I now have something newsworthy to post! Since I believe that my total audience is three people, two thirds of you already know about this, but you'll just have hear about it again! I applied for a program called Mission Year last week, and I found out today that I was accepted! It is a year long urban ministry program in the inner city in which you live in an apartment with your small group and work for non-profit organizations in the neighborhoods and get involved with a church in the neighborhood. If you want to know more about the program you can either visit http://www.missionyear.org or ask me! I have not officially accepted yet because I need to discuss it with my parents (which if you remember it, is a prayer request, although I don't think it will be too much of a problem). Unless something big comes up there, I intend to accept the offer. It takes place in four different cities: Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Oakland. I will not know which city I will be in until I officially accept, but I told them my top two choices would be Chicago and Philadelphia.

On a side note.....although I was not posting because I didn't want to subject you to my rambling opinions of commercials, I just saw one I have to comment on. It is the Levi's one in which the guy is carefully aging a new pair of jeans to look like his favorites, and then he gives them to his girlfriend as he leaves town. I think that it is a great ad! I don't have anything in particular to say other than the fact that it is a solid 16 in my book! ;)

Back to the Mission Year news...I will have to be in whichever city it ends up being, on September 9. (I know....that's insanely soon!) I will be there until next August, but I will have a two week vacation for Christmas and week for Spring Break. I am not sure yet, but I plan to have my cell phone with me, although I am not sure how much I will be able to talk. I will not have internet access in the apartment, but I will hopefully be able to check my email at a library at least once a week. I think I also have to send out a monthly newsletter for support raising. I will miss you all very much!!!
