i believe in miracles

^^that is the title of a sick song by Norwegian Recycling, for all you MJ fans out there. thanks for showing it to me evelyn! you can listen to it here.
In other news... guess what?! 
You're looking at a chorus girl in the musical!! 
At first I was wishing that I got a bigger part, but I'm just glad I can be a part of it and I'm happy that I won't have as big of a commitment but just as many ounces of fun. ;) The first meeting/read-through with the cast is tomorrow, it's becoming real!


When I came home from school today, my mom says: "Oh, you got a letter in the mail from your brother". Odd, he's never sent me mail before. I cut up a pear, turned on some chill tunes, and sat at my kitchen table ready to open it. I haven't talked to this long-lost brother of mine for a couple of weeks now and with the business of life haven't even had time to miss him. As soon as I started reading it, I heard his voice in my head and all the emotions of him leaving came back. I remembered Coss, my amazing big brother. I started tearing up after the first sentence! He was so incredibly encouraging and honest and he opened up to me a side of him I've never been able to understand. All the things a girl needs to hear from her brother, he told me. I felt so loved and not forgotten, but also had an ache in my heart because I realized once again that we're apart! And I'm going to have to get used to seeing him twice a month instead of every day. But at least I have confidence now that our relationship will never disintegrate just because we live in different cities - he will always be my big brother, no matter how old and independent and "mature" we become!


I love you Nathan, you are better than any brother I could ever hope for, and I apologize for not showing you how much I appreciate you!

We went to Nate's graduation ceremony before thanksgiving.
Mom attempted to edit the picture nicely but made it blue instead haha... 

Other than that lovely surprise, I have my G2 road test tomorrow.. eek. I'm excited/slightly anxious/trying to trust that God's in control! Maybe He doesn't want me to drive by myself yet or maybe He does, I just gotta be content with whatever He decides. However, it would make life a lot easier... :)

Wow, it's been an eventful couple of weeks! there's not usually this much stuff going on! But yeah. it's way past my 'bedtime' so I better hit the hay.
enjoy the rest of this beautiful autumn week!
