overbooking and free tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so...
at the phoenix airport (connecting flight) on the way home...
about a half hour ago, an anouncment was made that our flight back to phoenix was overbooked. they were asking for volunteers to give up their boarding passes in exchange for a flight the next morning and for free round-trip tickets to anywhere in the continental US... i was getting frozen yogurt while my parents were back at the gate and the announcement was made. i got back to the gate and my parents told me about this, and i looked at them, "you haven't taken the deal yet?!?! what are you waiting for?!?"
so...
i am sitting at gate B16. the tiny plane has already departed and is on its way to long beach, without us on it. we will be leaving the airport fairly soon with three round-trip ticketws and a hotel to stay at for the night and a flight back home tomorrow morning. what a deal! my dad is especially excited since this is where he went to college, so he gets to spend a day in phoenix.
isn't it great when people mess up... others can really benefit from it!!
well, the only set back is the fact that we don't have the luggage that we checked in... however, i do have my necesities... my carry-on, which was my raquet bag. as long as i have my tennis raquets, i can survive... i don't need anything else! forget a toothbrush, i've got raquets!
ok, well, we are going to be leaving the airport soon, so i better get off.
i'll be posting my pics from michigan when i get home tomorrow.
hooroo!

from the dorms of calvin...NVW!
so i am sitting in the dorm room that i am staying in at calvin... both girls are gone and will be gone for the night... yup, one had to go home and the other is at a an away tennis match that she is staying overnight somewhere else for. so, i have the room to myself for tonight... definitely a good experience, eh?
calvin is amazing... i dont know where to begin except that in a year and a half i hope to be here. The campus is beautiful, the people are incredibly nice, and i feel very comfortable being here. I won't rant on too much more, and i dont have many pics to put up, but i will put the ones up i do have when i get home.
tonight is my last night here at calvin, but tomorrow we are traveling around west michigan and going to go see grand haven, holland, and saugutuk (sp?)... these are some places that friends have told me to check out... we'll be seeing lake michigan as well.
well, i am gonna go now!
hooroo from calvin!

tennis pics below!
well, here are the pics i have been meaning to put up the past few days... or weeks...
they aren't in any specific order, but here's a little summary of the pics:
the first pic is of a crowd watching federer practice... then there are some random pics of the place (some crazy pictures of the sky... the storm clouds were awesome)... hingis is the tennis player volleying and bagdhatis is the player serving.
i have a ton other pics that were taken with my pop's camera, but i decided to stick with just the ones i took with my camera (yup, all of these were taken with my camera... no big fancy lens for these :) i must say, though, that fancy lens is mighty nice to take pics with :)
enjoy!
