Charlotte's Web
Last week my sister and I came back from Austin and there are some note worthy items: (1) We left the garage door open all night. Fortunately, we don't live in Vanhdy's neighborhood, so none of our shoes were stolen :) More fortunately, no one broke in, thank You Lord for watching over us (and let's not tell the parents when they return from Israel). (2) I killed a spider!
The thing with the spider is Liem was telling me about Recluse Spiders a few days ago and this one looked just as massive (it was dark). I ran to get a flip flop and at second look, it turns out it was just a huge house spider. I slammed the flip flop down on the spider and baaaaam... all of its guts squirted everywhere. The only thing was, its gusts weren't gushy... they all splattered out in perfect circle-like dust balls. I looked closer only to discover it was ALLL the babies the momma spider had in her belly. LOL... some of those circlular particles started scurrying around and it was really gross. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture, so thanks Wikipedia for the next best example.
Sorry Wilber!

Mr. & Mrs. Kyle Goldman
It all started when I was in 6th grade. I was put in Coach Jackson's P.E. class. I walked into the girl's locker room and met my buddy Justy Suarez. (Her school locker happened to be next to mine, so it was great to see a familiar face). There was this my-chang girl changing in the same section as Justy and me and as Justy and I were heading out of the locker room she called out, "Hey wait for me guys." Who knew that would be the start of a beautiful friendship. That my-chang girl's name is Kristy Tyler and b/c I'm a Sylvester, we ended up sitting one right behind the other in the gym.
It gets better, we shared the same math class together (I believe it was the last period) and her school locker happened to be right next to the math class. With the nervousness and untrust of being a 6th grader, she definitely rejected the idea of me sharing her school locker with her, but it's all good.
In anycase, as I mentioned above, a beautiful friendship began to blossom and it survived 9th grade year (we won't get into that)... but through the growing pains and all, she is my very dear friend that I cherish very closely to my heart. God used her in a very mighty way in my life and for that, I will be eternally grateful to Him for bringing her into my life. Congratulations Kristy... my beautiful bosom buddy forever!
