Globalscope has a new website and I’m on it! You can see it here.

Marcy and I have had some pretty cool ideas lately, and I think one is about to take off! We’re going to start a little in-reach thing we like to call Meagan and Marcy’s Market, or vice-versa on the names, thanks to Cher’s genius naming skills. We’ll be taking the beloved freshies of GT CCF to Wal-Mart or Kroger, or to wherever they need to run errands on Fridays around 2 p.m. I’m pretty excited. We’ll see how it goes on Friday.

Next Wednesday is the Globalscope Thailand dinner, during which we will be eating Thai food and showing videos and talking to everyone that’s interested about Globalscope Thailand and our wonderful friends there. Guess who’s doing the cooking? Yeah, that’s right. We’ll see how that goes. I think I’m giving my testimony as well.

And with much excitement: Kristin comes back to the states this week! (It would be more exciting if I was flying to Thailand to see her there, but what can you do?)

I’ve given up tea for Lent. Not just hot tea, but iced tea as well, and apparently anything containing it. It’s been pretty hard so far and Lent just started. It’s not that I’m addicted to caffeine. If you know me, then you probably know that I’m just plain passionate about tea and that it’s more of a lifestyle than a beverage. To give you an idea of how big a change this has been, I was averaging 4 cups of tea a day up until last Wednesday. I had about 7 or 8 cups Tuesday night when I realized that Lent started the next morning.

So there’s that…

It’ll be a quick recap though, and with some photos.I have been so busy since school has started back up. I have a part time job at the INTA office. I do random things around the office, from maintaining the school’s website to organizing boxes and files to speaking Japanese to doing my homework.

Hockey is my new favorite thing in the entire world. I love the Thrashers and have (in two game) become a pretty good fan, if I do say so myself. We had really, really good seats at the last game, when we played the Buffalo Sabres. We lost, but that was after overtime and penalty shots. It was an amazing game. I’m going again for the Florida game, and I’m pretty excited already.

We had amazing seats for the Sabres game!

P.S. I have auburn hair now, but it has started to lighten up. I’m not even sure if you can tell in this picture.

CCF went on a retreat to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This was my 2nd time there in 1 week because I drove up there the weekend before to film an announcement video about the retreat. By that I mean that we left Atlanta at 2 a.m. got to Gatlinburg around 6 a.m. filmed some stuff, drove back, took the wrong route and ended up in my hometown (go figure, I was driving), my mom bought us lunch, and then we ended up back in Atlanta around 2:30 p.m. No, I didn’t sleep during that. Anyway, the retreat was so much fun because it involves lots of mullets, ridiculous facial hair, high school letter jackets, cigar smoking, but most importantly, all of the other CCFs and SNOW! Yes, that’s right, kids! All of Team Thailand was together and there was SNOW! Could a weekend get any better than that? No, sir.

Snow!

More snow!

I bought a (Product) Red shirt today. You should too. What else have I been up to? I’ve been applying for internships, spending time at CCF and tons of other things. I’m planning on going to Juarez, Mexico for spring break to build houses with Casas por Cristo. You should come with me. It’ll be really great. You know what’s really cool? It’s that Kristy and I have gotten to hang out and do things like go watch future doctors that also play instruments have a jazz concert at Emory University and then go to the Sundial bar at the Westin hotel. Good fun.

Alright, now that that’s done, hopefully I’ll be updating more often.
