A trip down memory lane

Here are some things that I remember from our semester together that make me smile. Some of it is in some sort of order, but most of it isnt.

-Those hours that we all sat in JFK airport, sizing each other up
-David talking about the importance of seatbelts.
-The funny mummy
-The time that Emily got hit on the head by a pommegranate that fell from a shelf while we were playing cards on the bus.
-Swimming in the Dead Sea
-Dancing Diaa
-Singing songs from old musicals while crammed in the front of the bus
-Telling horror stories about bad dating situations while crammed in the back of the bus
-Phil's amazing rap skills
-All of those old Europeans on the cruise ship who wore speedos and who didnt know how to wait their turn in line
-The soup and the bread at the Austrian Hospice
-The breakfasts at the Austrian Hospice
-The restraunt owner in Syria who was... is there any word that can actually describe that guy?
-Dahab
-The time that Dr. Heather got really embarrased while we asked her questions about sex
-Our rather awkward guide at St. Catherine's monestary
-The movie night on top of the villa
-Steve's smile
-Dena's smile
-The three words that are the same in every language: "Amen, Hallelujah and Coca Cola"
-Conversations about real things that really matter
-Christmas at Dena's flat
-Potluck at Steve's flat
-Calling our places of residenc "flats" instead of "appartments"
-The Khan el Khaleli
-Spectra deserts
-The fact that you can order McDonalds to be delivered to your door
-Goodbye hugs
-The Ma3salema Party

I miss you all

micah, i was just thinking last night that i wanted to make a list just like this, and now i find that you beat me to it! what wonderful memories...except for when Heather got embarrassed when we asked her questions about sex. i dont remember that at all and to be honest, that might be for the best :)

lots of us have responded to your email already, and i, too, want to thank you for opening this up to us. i will be praying for you, too, Micah.

with much love,

phil

You dont remember what the thing with Dr. Heather? She turned red and said, "Lets just say that marriage is a wonderful context in which to explore God's gift of sex."
That quote is almost exact... I think...

Thanks, Micah. I can´t believe I had already forgotten about some of those things--I just started grinning at the computer screen just now.
and let me second Phil´s comment--i´ve been thinking about you for the past few days. I was on meds for a while--anytime you want to compare notes on that, let me know.
On a different note, though--do we all remember the time Heather was talking about the 70 virgins in heaven, and commented with a quite knowing look that there was no reason why women would want virgin men, and that it`s a blessing married people have so long together to actually figure it out? Awkward having met her husband. Apparently the first time wasn`t great. yikes.
anyway. Thanks, Micah. No matter what else, you are a dear.
