I am slowly but surely becoming a bigger nerd than I already was. See, I was gifted with a new laptop. Sort of the ultimate agape if you will. During our time as US-2s, people often give us gifts that we call agape. Some friends of mine in being completely amazing people gave me a Macbook. I was stunned. Shocked if you will. But definitely not complaining about the awesomeness of God's blessings.

I know, I know. There are those of you thinking to yourself, but Laura! You're a PC girl through and through! You wanted to make PC components not Mac components when you started in computer engineering!! But the truth is, the Macbook is super nice. I had always been intrigued by the Macs that our old neighbors in Rockford had, and really, how can you be a serious blogger without a mac?

So I've had to buy a couple of things for it, a cable for S-video so I can plug it into my TV for starters, but then I also needed a bag. I went to a few stores but I had seen a bag online that had really been intriguing to me. I went looking for the bag, maybe it would be sold at REI with the other timbuk2 bags. No dice.

So I ordered it on Sunday from REI.com. It is none other than the "Blogger" bag. Yes, I am officially a huge nerd. But this bag has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen. And yes, I did order the brown and orange one. But that's because the other combinations weren't at all appealing and I have a really sad addiction to the color orange. Just too bad it couldn't be orange and blue. I can't wait for it to come, it is supposed to be in on Friday but I will certainly be anxiously awaiting its arrival by checking and rechecking UPS.com for the rest of the week.

Please be in prayer for Saranam this week. We're interviewing families tomorrow and also have a meeting tomorrow night that is really important and stressful. Pray that God will continue to bless this ministry and continue to transform lives.
