It's 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep...I can't sleep because I just traveled half way across the world and my body isn't tired...and I can't sleep because my mind is racing with a million thoughts...

I came back to the States to be with my family after receiving the news that my grandma was in the ICU. I took the first flight I could so that I could be with my family. We are all very overwhelmed and don't quite know how to respond or what to do. I like what my sister wrote here. It kind of explains how I feel. Even though I saw my grandma in the hospital, all I could think was that it couldn't be her. It just wasn't Gram.

As of tonight, Gram is still in the ICU. She is very restless. Her blood pressure has been pretty high, so they are trying to limit the number of visitors so that she won't get too excited. Please pray that Father will cover her with peace and that He will bring rest to her body. Her short term memory has been affected by the bleeding in her brain. The doctors aren't sure if it will be permanent or not. I am going back to the hospital tomorrow to see her. Hopefully I will be able to talk to her for a little bit, even though she may or may not remember who I am.

Please keep my family in your prayers.

Thanks,
Donna

Chinese Acrobats

We went to see the acrobats this past weekend. It was so amazing! Here are a few pictures and video...they don't really show how great it was, but you'll get some idea. Enjoy! :)

Red (Orange??) Head!

(Click on the pictures to see them bigger.)

Melinda and I got a little bored during our 3-week break from school in February, so we decided to dye our hair. Mine was supposed to be just a little bit red, but instead in turned out neon orange! (The picture doesn't really show it, but my hair was super bright!!) Well, I didn't really want to have orange hair, so the next day we went back to the store and I bought some brown hair dye. The brown toned down the orange some, but it was still pretty bright. A lot of the color has washed out, and now it's a nice strawberry blonde...just a little more red than my natural color. It was kinda fun doing something new, but I think next time I'll have a professional do my hair :)

Spider Man

Spider Man deliverd my pizza tonight! Well, it wasn't actually Spider Man, but that's what the Papa John's delivery guy's name tag said. I thought it was kind of funny that he chose Spider Man as his English name!
