eight eight oh eight

Hello!

I'm back. I seriously can't believe it's been three weeks since I last posted. Three weeks flew by. I swear there wasn't a day that I didn't think about posting. But life has been busy. And actually living life, rather than writing about it, was just more important these last few weeks. I know I worried some people with my absence. But I swear I'm ok. I'm really enjoying my life here. And no, I'm not homesick to many people's disbelief. Yes, I miss my family. But I don't really miss the States. Not yet at least.

Today is 08-08-08. I think its such a rad date. I'm especially excited that the Olympics started today. I'm such a nerd who has loved the Olympics since I was a little girl. Probably because I dreamed of being just like Summer Sanders or Kim Zmeskal. It's awesome being in the same time zone as the Beijing games. But, it sucks that all the broadcasting is done in mandarin.

Llasttl, I need to announce that I have just started quilt #3. For some reason I keep making them harder and harder. Ok maybe not necessarily harder, but definitely more time consuming. Each square is 3x3 and I plan to make this one about 90x90. Here is preview.

I also have a mini-book in the works. And a few scrap pages to share. More later. I'm out, yo.

You liked Summer Sanders? I grew up at the same church her grandparents went to and got to meet her and swim at the same community swimming pool where she went to high school!

I was enamored, too.

I"m glad you're enjoying your new home so much. The quilt looks yummy.
