Last Saturday I threw a little surprise dinner for Justins birthday. He thought we were going to dinner with Sarah and David and then when we got to the restaurant there were about 12 other people there!!! He was so excited! I also had a cake made for him. One of my friends who is a spouse made it and it turned out SO AWESOME!!! I seriously almost cried when I saw the cake cause it looked so good. We went to a new place in Portsmouth called Adaj. It was Italian/something else (I cant remember what the sign said). It was very good but WAY WAY overpriced. But we had a great time with good friends. Six of which this is their last semester!! Im gonna have some serious issues when they leave.

Justin spoke the day after at church. He spoke on Colossians 4:5-6 and did a great job!! We then had a volleyball game that afternoon and lost – again. I also started a spouses softball team. We played a double header Saturday and lost both games. Were actually not that bad. I think we might pull a few wins by the end of the semester! Just need to work out a few kinks. So I might be on losing intramural teams this semester but so far I have had a blast!!

I am volunteering with the prep school on campus this semester and I mostly hang out with the kindergartners. I love them!! The other day they each had a mini chalkboard to draw on. I was attempting to teach them how to write a two. Well pretty much when I was one on one with one student the other students were just playing on their chalkboards. So at one point I look up at one of the other kids whose name is Charlie and he had his face on his chalkboard (which he had covered in yellow chalk). I said “Charlie what are you doing???” And then he lifted up his head and there was chalk ALL over his face. It was so funny and I tried my hardest to act like he had done something wrong. But instead I took a picture of him. You cant really tell by the picture but there was chalk everywhere!! Also below are pictures of a few other kids on “chalk” day.
