i had a dream last night that i was living in america again.
i was actually able to talk on the phone to people when i wanted to.
i could understand stuff always.
but it didnt really feel great.

on friday night i went to this ball.
(balls are a really big deal here, its basically just like a big party where you dress up. similar to homecoming, but with more people then just your school)

there were a bunch of high school students there that i know and it was kind of like a ski camp follow up evening.

anyway, there was this point in the night where this really popular czech song came on. i was standing in a circle with maybe 20 people, mostly students that i work with. they were all singing at the top of their lungs and dancing to this song, and i was just standing there thinking, "is this really my life?"

it was one of those moments where everything seems so completely surreal and all i could really do is say "Father, thank you for THIS."
it was amazing.
