Frustrations...

Hello faithful readers! This blog entry is a facade. It is a facade, in that I cannot post pictures. We had beautiful snow fall this weekend and I just wanted to post some pictures of that today. However, the big K is making this difficult on me. From now on, it looks as though I may only be able to post pictures to the blog when I can get into Stephen's office and have a good sit-down at the internet there.

The school decided to block pretty much anything and everything when using the internet and has deemed blogger.com as "unsuitable content."

The internet access we have at our house is dial-up. The computer says it's 56k, but it's definitely not that fast. It is impossible to upload pictures. It takes a good 5 minutes to tell me that it's just not going to happen.

Am I upset? Ha! If you know me at all, you know the answer to that question.

I will tell you that I am having an incredibly difficult time right now. I'll blog more about it when I have more time on the internet. Right now, my momma is supposed to call me soon tonight and I want her to be able to get through the phone line. I miss my mom. Although we get to talk on the phone more than I thought we would, we haven't been able to do video Skype in a loooooong time. Hopefully we can make it to Stephen's office this weekend and set up Skype dates.

If you think of it, say a little prayer for little 'ol me. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope, so they say. Just ask Stephen. He would probably agree with that statement with gusto. On second thought, say a little prayer for him, as he is the one who has to deal with me each day!

Beth,

Just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of you and praying for you during your time over there. My dad saw your mom not too long ago and she said you were having a rough time.

My prayer is that you'll come to a point where you don't just survive this time, but that you love it so much you'll be sad to leave. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to live in a country so different from America, especially when it's so difficult to communicate with those you love.

Stay strong, lean on God, and look for little things to be thankful for. And remember, there are many thoughts and prayers for you coming from this part of the world!

I'm always praying for you and Stephen.
We love you you and miss you both very much, and don't worry about the pictures. I have a great imagination :)
I hear that you'll be heading home next month. I pray your trip is a safe and happy one.
Hopefully I'll be giving birth next month so I can send you some pictures....If only, it feels like this baby will stay in me forever. Haha.
