Just a few quick pics before I head off to slumber...
We had our Jewish Quarter (of the Old City) field trip today! Inside the Jewish Archaeological Park are steps that lead up to the temple mount and date to the time of Herod... AKA the time of Jesus. In other words, it is super likely that He walked up these steps when going to the temple.

| The half arch you see used to be a functioning archway that people walked through to go to the temple. There is a picture of it in the back of your LDS scriptures! :) |
 |
| Sitting on the original stone slab under the arch... this is the one spot that they can almost be 100% certain Christ stood at at one point. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME SOOOO AWESOME!!! Fun fact: Neil Armstrong stood here, and said in his biography that it meant more to him to stand here than to stand on the moon. HiIloveyouNeilyourock. |
Well.
That was magical. Is this real life? Yes, yes it is. Less than a month left... it's going to be amazing. Heartbreakingly amazing.
Also, chatting with Sadie on Gmail chat is magical. And the best thing of my life. And distracts me waayyy too much but is so completely worth it. Laughter comes before grades my friends.
Also, I have some good news to share... *drumrolllllllllll* .............. I got hired as a TA for summer term!!! :) Some of you knew I applied to be a TA for a professor I had last semester. I just thought it would be a good thing to do right before I graduate, since I've been planning on graduating in August anyway. Well I GOT IT! I had a phone interview Monday night (afternoon for him) and he e-mailed me the next day with the good news. :) I'm really excited about it and happy to at least have a plan for my life until August! I will be TAing for SFL 335 - Family Adaptation and Resiliency.. AKA probably the most demanding class I ever took in college haha. But I actually loved the content so I'm really excited to learn it again without having to write the research paper. ;) And I LOVE the professor - he taught my capstone class and he's just really great and I'm excited to work with him!
ALSO... me and a bunch of Jeru peeps are doing the Dirty Dash in September. Signed up today. Can you say best reunion ever? I think so.
Yay life! Now I just need to decide where I'm going to live......
Alright. The next 2 days are going to be fun... must hit the hay. Wish I could share more. /:
LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!! Night!

You can live with me! Just sayin... I'll need a house sitter again on and off all summer.
I love the Neil Armstrong story.
I am reading a book which discusses the last week of the Saviors life and trying to imagine things from the pictures and stories you have shared. Thank you for inspiring me to be better.
How exciting about the TA job!! He's lucky to have you! MOM
Just finished catching up on your AMAZING blogs and pics. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be your Aunt so I can brag on you :). Thanks too for the Neil Armstrong story. He is one of my earthly heroes. Have his original 1969 Apollo photo on my wall. So sad he died. Such a humble hero! Keep finding joy and bring it all home with you! Love, Aunt TJ :)
