Tika has been off to VCU a week today. It has been good that I get to talk to her every couple of days to hear how she is doing (she is not great with the e-mail thing). She has had two days of classes and seems to be enjoying them so far. She has made new friends and is close to her old ones. She also has said that she is eating well - supposedly the dining hall is very good for vegans and her and Jenny were going to head to Ipanema today, which is a good vegan restaurant right down from her dorm.
The week has been interesting here as well. Laura's mom came into town Wednesday which has been lots of fun, including homemade fried chicken last night. We are heading to Upperville today to go to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch.
Yesterday was a funny day - well for me at least. Sam has always gloated about not needing braces when both her sisters have had them. So yesterday I took her to the dentist for her regular cleaning. The hygienist comes out and says that she wanted to take a panoramic xray. Of course I asked why. She told me that Sam is missing a tooth - not one that fell out but one that never came in. Well it is one of her molars which means she has too much space between her teeth. The dentist said we should go to see the orthodontist to see if she needs braces. Of course she was less than excited and we I thought about it so was I - yet more funding of those nice cars the orthodontist drives.
Ok off to a fun weekend. Have a great one

ISHI - Japanese for DETERMINATION. Some would say I am stubborn - others opinionated - but in reality it is determined. I believe it is determination that got me through the challenges I have faced and allowed me to start this new and wonderful life. I will stay determined and we will have as much fun as we can along the way. Read along for the wonderful adventure.
