NC

So its great to have been able to call home! And to answer the question about why no one likes Duke.. let me tell you all the rich people LOVE duke and all the lower class are divided into NC state and NCU which are the shirts I sent. It is just really hard to find Duke stuff but it’s really funny to see how If you like a team that they don’t, they already pretty much hate you… That’s why when they ask me who I like I say “whoever will give me a scholarship” and then there all ok with that and sometimes go into why I should go into in school and not the other haha its funny.

O something interesting is that I lost my driver’s license… and not my wallet.. and I can remember where it is.. its really weird we must have gremlins haha. So it looks like ill be getting a NC license any way haha! I think its way funny.

 And it snowed on Sunday and it was like about 2-3 feet of it! That has never happened in NC since about WWII it was crazy and a lot of fun. But we were not allowed to take out the cars or bikes because the people drive so crazy when it snow and no one has the right stuff to clean the roads. Like they were using john deer’s to move it. Man it was funny to think what Tim is going thru right now or about all those people in Canada hahahaha o and there was no church because of the snow haha

O and about the letters Tim writes me every week and its really fun. Most of my friends have been writing me but it has slowed down a little because im entering into the forgotten year of my mission.. the first 6 month are great because everyone still remembers you and then the last 6 months everyone that never sent you a letter sends one because they feel bad. But its been ok because as much as I LOVE to get letters, days that I don’t I just move on and get lost in the work and forget all about being home sick or anything like that. So life is still good and over the call It was more like let me and Tim talk and you all can listen haha.

And that’s crazy about the suns.. so we got vince carter well that’s cool maybe ill have to get his and nashes jersey before they retire haha, but thanks for keeping me informed and I hope the heat win it all!

This Christmas was very different this year and I hope you know im filling up my memory card fast on my new camera with videos and pics so you can all be happy! I still have to get a new memory card because yesterday when we were shopping I had to use my hope card for my food because the credit card wasn’t working so that why some money is gone.

But I love you all and I hope everyone really had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Love your friend
