Thursday night

Hello all,
This evening will be the third night in a row that I am watching Pride and Predjudice (the shorter version of the movie). I am currently wondering why there isn't a Mr. Darcy for all of us, however I quickly am reminded that not all of the girls get married to him, only Lizzy. Whereas Lydia gets married to a womanizer who doesn't care for her at all simply the money he is allowed after he marries her, and Mary can't seem to find a man who understands her, and Jane gets a Mr. Bingley who while wonderful in his own ways, is not nearly as worldly or deep, etc. He doesn't compare in the slightest to Darcy. So, here I am awaiting my own Darcy while watching friends finding Bingley's, Wickham's, and Collins's. I supose waiting for Darcy isn't as bad as it seems. Or perhaps I have already met my Darcy and we are simply in the beginning of the movie rather than nearing the end.

On a very different note school is going well, and I have decided that if the homeless man decides to visit our home again I will have food available for him.

Also we raised $1910 from the Famine - which is amazing and I am so terribly excited about it! There is still some money coming in and I hope to send in $2000!

Plans are coming along nicely for the trip to New Orleans and I am becoming more and more excited about the work we will be doing every day. I am also looking forward to visiting several places that I visited last time I was there (prior to the hurricane).

I also think we should all call one another by our last names and I should be allowed to wear the clothes that women wear in this movie (still watching Pride and Predjudice).

Have a wonderful evening all!
