fun times
sunday while helping friends move, i hurt my back. didn't feel it until middle of the night that night. it's just a muscle strain of some sort, but it's no fun. especially when we leave tomorrow night for minnesota to visit shawn's family (my family, too, now I guess). but having a thrown-out back means no lifting, no washing dishes or doing laundry, and while that sounds nice, when it comes right before traveling, it's not making things here at home that nice. cause it means shawn has to do all of that, plus get ready himself for the trip and for some reason he gets a little edgy every time we travel by plane. so, i've been sitting around tonight while he finishes up work stuff trying to stay out of the way, wishing i could make it better.in other news, my brother-in-law, Patrick, is home from a year away in Iraq. He and my sister will be leaving for Japan in November. Paige came for a weekend visit mid-July and that'll be the last time I see her for quite a while. I'm really excited for them. Part of me really wanted to be there today to welcome him home.
Also, I've been really missing my grandparents lately. My grandmother is still living and I'll get to see her at Thanksgiving, but it's hard to keep in touch. She doesn't answer the phone if family isn't there and I could write her, but others have to read it to her and it feels weird for me to know that. I should get over that part and send her letters anyway.
And the other night I dreamt that I went to visit my grandparents and got to see my granddad for a minute or two and got to tell him we were visiting Minnesota. That's all I remember about it.
And then there's school. I start classes at the community college the week of the 18th. I'm taking two classes that are prerequisites for a Master's degree in Counseling that I'm thinking about starting next Fall. I'm looking forward to learning and being back in the classroom. It'll be interesting to see how I can balance school, work and being intentional in the community.

Sounds like a lot. I hope your back is feeling better. We had a wreck about a month ago (I talked about it on my blog) and seeing the chiropractor has been helping me a lot. You might do that too, especially since there are a lot of great ones in the Bay Area that also offer massage. I hope you enjoy your Minnesota visit and that you can relax some.
