Hey Everyone...
So, Unless you live in a box, you probably know that a huge bridge collapsed into the missisippi river in minneapolis yesterday. It so strange. That bridge is a half mile away from my house and I use it every single day to go to work and to school. I went over at 4:30 and it was gone at 6:05. It was strange because at 6:05 our power went out and I was so annoyed and complaining about it and then I started getting calls about the bridge, but had no idea what was going on becasue we had no power. Needless to say, I stopped complaining, but then we started hearing sirens like crazy and there was smoke all over the sky. Everyone I know is just fine but there were a lot of close calls. A HUGE part of our city is gone and it just feels strange to be here and know that I can't drive into or out of the city like normal....Anyway, thanks for those of you taht thought about Abbie and I and for those of you who didn't...well...I don't know....:)
Anyway, I miss you all and wish I was shopping for long skirts and stocking up on hair spray to go to cairo in a few weeks
Hope everyone is well!

Il-hamdu-li-llah!!!
I didnt know that you were going back to Cairo. Tell me more!
i've been praying for you guys a lot--i have a friend up here who's sister was ON the bridge when it collapsed--she's fine, but the...mortality of it all really shook us up over here. we never know what day's going to be our last. i just spent the last couple of weeks hiking the superior hiking trail on the north shore and i thought of both you and abbie (oh, i also re-met the nurse person who lived in jeremiah's porch--emma...and i remembered our wonderful time in the cities together!!!). hope you're doing well.
