I will try and bullet point the highlights, and give you a link to some pictures. If its not enough... email me and I will do my darndest to write you back in a timely manner. ... love, Tiff
Highlights:
1) 30th birthday and party - PERFECT summer day (incidentally for the first day of summer) - Leah made me a b-day cake with 30 spelled in strawberries - we grilled about a million burgers and the flames were incredible - had a three-legged race and a water balloon toss... that ended up in me getting splattered with water balloons.
2) a week in Seattle visiting friends and family - the weather was incredible, I got to play volleyball, spend time with the Fergason family, enjoy hilarity with my family at a bbq and a birthday dinner - too many great memories!
3) moved into a new place (fantastico, if i do say so myself!) and am happily settling in there for however long the Lord allows me to be here. Heather (my new roommate) and I are becoming good friends, and we've been able to host a BUNCH of social events as well as general "hanging out."
4) BARB - one of my dearest and oldest friends - came to visit Greenville in July. We had a SUPER time as she was able to help me pack, and keep me company while I moved a bit. We went to St. Louis a few times and enjoyed Thai food on DelMar (the "Broadway" of St. Louis)
5) Speaking of Barb... in August I was blessed to visit Seattle again to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. There aren't words to speak of the fun we had, or of the priviledge I felt to be a part of that event. I am happy to say CONGRATS to Rob and Barb Martin!!!
6) Football Camp began the DAY AFTER Rob and Barb's wedding... so I took the red-eye back to St. Louis after the wedding (and an AWESOME dinner at the Red Lobster with my aunts Gloria, Donna and Anita, and my uncle Brian). We had about 40 guys arrive on the first day, and another 40 on the second day... needless to say, its possible I haven't recovered yet from that weekend!
7) Football Camp and the season has been GOOD. The guys we have on the team this year are uniquely enthusiastic and "on board" with our program. They are loving and respectful and I feel more comfortable than ever here. I'm excited to be a part of this program and where we're going. And I have more opportunities than ever to share about Jesus both in my job and in ministry with women on campus.
8) The 2004 Season has started out rough scoreboard-wise- no wins yet. But we are optimistic that if we keep on with what we believe in... eventually we'll win!
9) BSF: I started BSF again this year. Leah (one of my good friends here) and I began attending the St. Louis Young Adults class a few weeks ago and we're hoping we will be able to continue this entire year. Its already been a GREAT HELP to my spiritual life!
Upcoming Events:
1) MY PARENTS are coming to visit for Homecoming weekend in two weeks (the week of 10/16) and I am SO excited for them to see my new place, meet my friends and see a football game. I can't wait to see them.
2) A couple other friends may be coming to visit on the weekend of our last homegame - please pray that they would be able to travel out here! I want THEM to meet my friends/family here, too!
3) My first trip EVER to Wisconsin (the weekend of the 23rd)
