Well, it's about time

Hello friends.

Long time no contact, right?

Yeah, my bad.

Here's a very brief summary of the last 2 1/2 months of my life:
-Christmas
-New Years (started that off right!)
-Renato's birthday
-came back to school
-got a new job (I'm back at BYUTV, hooray!!!!) and quit my old one
-school is keeping me ridiculously busy, more than I'd even thought it would
-I only have one roommate this semester
-I'm cooking more
-I have my first Portuguese student (I start teaching on Monday)
-I've learned a lot about trust in the Lord (again) and about how having priorities in the right place can make a huge difference in all aspects of life
-bought a plane ticket to Brazil- I'm going there in May!
-fell even more in love with Renato :)

So, that's the short list of everything that's happened.  There has been a lot going on.  I'll try to be better about keeping this updated again, especially now that I have a few big things to look forward to, especially in March (the 12th), April (the 5th, 6th, 7th, 16th, 24th), May (the 6th until the end of the month), June (the entire first half of it, still continuing form May 6th)...basically the next few months.  I'm glad to be leaving January and February behind...though they were good, they were also extremely difficult and I felt like I was on a roller-coaster most of the time.  But now I feel like I'm getting back on solid ground, and it's a good feeling.   I hope you are all doing well!

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
