My mom sent me some WWII pictures that I had up on my wall at the farm. I never got the chance to put them up at our new house, but I really love them and I thought they would make a nice addition to my dorm room. The upper right and upper left photos are of General Eisenhower talking to some men from the 101st Airborne division before D-Day (I'm a big fan of the Screaming Eagles, in case you didn't know). The center picture is of a little girl in France placing flowers on an American soldier's grave after D-Day. All of the other pictures were taken in the Pacific at places I'm not sure exactly where.
I haven't been very good about doing email updates so I thought I would add a little one in here. I was lying out on the front lawn last night with my section mates. And I realized how odd it was that I was here at this school. For as long as I can remember I have told my family that I would never go to school in Southern California. Here I am. I wanted to go some place with snow and cold weather. The average temp. here all year round is 75 degrees. I had my top two schools already chosen since I was 16. But I'm not at either one. I only really came to visit because we got to stop at Disneyland. But I'm here now. God really is amazing! I had my college life all planned out until He got in the way. And I'm so glad He did, because I know this is where He wanted me.
Cheers!
