My list has been revised...
The kindle dropped in price AND I got a dog sitting job so I was able to afford it, so I bought it and it is amazing. Now just have to get a case from it.
I'm deleting the Ipad currently, because of the bad reviews that are coming out, so I will wait and maybe put it back on when they have a new model out.
The Canon is still on:
Canon EOS Rebel X2i EF-S 18-55IS kit: 899.99 plus camera bad: $45.99 and Camera strap: $15.00 for a total of: 960.98
And finally the one that WILL take me 5 years to save for:Apple Macbook: 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, Apple protection plan, plus a case for it…*little squeaky voice* Ahem…1498.00
I am thinking of adding Rosetta Stone language programs to my list, because I want to learn different languages that can help me in the future. And because I want to travel a lot and knowing the language is always a good thing.
The U.S.A. made it to Round 16, it is great! Now if they can make it to the Quater Finals that would be amazing! My first pick is Italy but they didn't even make it out of their round so My picks are U.S.A., England, Uruguay, then Brazil.
Sam is doing well, he normally texts me when he gets off work (like 6 in the morning, I don't always reply...)
This blog is to keep family updated on my brother and I's life and as a sounding board about school and where it is taking me. Also features the occasional book topic of what I am currently reading.

Hmm,
Maybe I will be able to get one thing off my 5 year list. The Kindle just dropped in price to $189.00. Much easier to afford.
This FIFA soccer cup is very interesting. Non of my teams are doing very well. But a lot of the underdog teams are tying or winning. Also some of the games have been very high scoring which is not normal for this sport. Germany v Australia 4-0 and Portugal v North Korea 7-0, the two highest. Spain is favored to win it all and maybe they will, they are doing well. The England v U.S.A. was a great tie, being that the last time they faced each other was in 1950 when the U.S. beat them. I wrote a 10 page paper on it. It was really fascinating. I am going to watch the Portugal v Brazil game with interest because they are both great teams. I
I was looking at Jersey's, I soooo want an Italy one but they are 80 dollars. Not something I can afford currently...maybe one day.
Not much to report, Sam is doing well. Looks like he could pass for anyone in South America because he is so tan. He is enjoying his job, he is on night shift now.
I'm studying for the GRE and working and enjoying life.

Another Update sans pictures...
I know I keep promising pictures…but it’s just not happening currently. I AM going to be taking some pictures of my neighborhood and campus, tomorrow, truly…I AM.
Sam is doing well. He is working two weeks on and one weekend off currently. He is at a different site right now so he is staying in a hotel and living on ramen noodles and Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. He seems to like what he is doing so I am happy for him. He is already starting to tan again from working outside…I wish I could tan like he does, he does brown almost. I stay pasty white or look sick when I have a tan.
Me, hmm, there is 2 weeks left in school and I can’t wait. I do have a 5 page paper to write and a presentation to do next week but then there is dead week and finals. The running joke around where I work is that I should go get drunk on my birthday because I will be 21 but there are three things wrong with that scenario, 1) I don’t normally drink (I did a little while in Germany, where I sipped others beers and had ONE shot of something, but from that I found out I HATE beer and I am not much of a drinker), and 2) I have finals starting Monday no way I am going to be partying when I will be studying 3) My birthday falls on Mother’s Day this year so Yeah, going to be a crazy busy day anyway.
We are coming up to Canada, and I cannot wait. Sam will be there for a week and me, 2 weeks. Then I come back and work in my church’s nursery the rest of the summer.
I am so excited about June and July….it’s the FIFA 2010 Soccer Cup in South America. I am going to be watching as many matches as I can around my work schedule.
P.S. I have taken pictures I now just have to get them from my camera to here...
