thanksgiving with the ol' lam fam was fun. micah arrived in town wednesday afternoon which was fantastic. later that evening, we had a talent show. hashifa and i performed seperate dance routines and jenny played the piano. thursday i ate and ate and then worked it all off learning to hit golf balls at the driving range. i love golf now. i used to hate everything about golf, but now i love it. james, hashifa's husband taught us all about form and technique. he told me to "get angry with the ball". getting angry with golf balls has changed my life much more than tranquilizers ever did.

another thing that has changed my life is wearing the correct bra. you see, hashifa nad jenny are extremely well groomed ladies and have inspired me to care about what my breasts look like under t-shirts. they've yet to inspire me to wear make-up every day or get pedicures, but i will now and forever wear kick ass bras. before i got to arizona i wasn't really wearing bras at all, but now that my life is changed, i will wear them.

micah flew back to l.a. to finish up at trader joe's friday morning and will be back late wednesday. it will be a relief to plan our big move to philly with him as he has been focused on work the past month. we plan to leave early next week. we're driving to denver to see his folks, then to hastings to see his sister, her husband and their baby, through the rest of the middle states and on to philly. if mrs. amanda hamilton is successful in stretching the state of idaho, we'll visit there. we don't have an apartment yet. the one we wanted went to someone else. i think i feel better actually seeing the places myself first anyway.

we do have one very interesting lead for what sounds like is a nice place. there is an opening in brent lewis' building. what fun it would be for friends to visit and stay in the same building! we'll see.

micah and i are excited about our move, but pretty scared and nervous. money is tight, tight, tight. we're not sure how or when all of our stuff will make it there. this could very well be the smartest of the most supremely stupid thing we have ever done. we wouldn't mind extra prayers. we know for sure that micah has a job in philly, that we have good friends in philly and that i will be wearing a good bra--but that's about all we know for now.

now i must get back to doing math and watching television, wearing a good bra, staring at cacti, drinking too much coffee, praticing my golf swing, playing with hashifa's terrific dog and trying not to freak out.
