For anyone not familiar with the ONE campaign (also known in the UK & Canada as Make Poverty History), I can't recommend enough that you check it out. www.one.org
Heifer is a partner with the ONE campaign, which is raising awareness for upcoming events that could change history & go a long way towards eradicating extreme poverty & responding to the African AIDS crisis.
And before you groan thinking that one more organization wants your money--they don't. They want you. They want your voice to tell our world leaders that we will do something about extreme poverty.
So, check it out, & quickly, as the largest event (Live 8) is quickly approaching on July 2nd.

Ramblings
This is our new Female Beta.
Been a rather busy week. Did get to see Batman Begins last night. Excellent movie. I don't know that it was worth the 9.50 apiece we paid to get in but it was very entertaining.
Also have the new Foo Fighters double album. It is the best work they have done. The first disk rocks and the second is excellent to have in the background around the house. It hasn't left the CD player yet.
Go rookie M's. Mr. Morse continues to hit at a +.400 pace. What is so amazing is he was hitting .260 in AAA when he was called up. There is no way this lasts but it is sure fun while it continues. Now if we could just trade Boone!

CBS Sixty Minutes
Eliza again:
Everybody tune in to CBS 60 Minutes this Sunday, June 12th, at 7pm ET/PT. They are re-broadcasting the story of Beatrice Biira, a young woman in rural Africa whose life was transformed when her family received a goat from Heifer International.
Travel with Beatrice back to her village in Uganda to visit other families that have received Heifer dairy goats and how they have improved their diet and income.
It's an incredible story and a great testimony to the work of Heifer International.
Check your local listing--in the Seattle area 60 Minutes will be on Kiro 7 at 7pm.
Side note: I'll be able to watch it also as one of my traveling companions has a sinus infection & we are not able to go kayaking in the San Juans this weekend. We will reschedule our trip for later this summer.

School news
Eliza here:
I finally got my letter from UW about the Masters in Teaching program.
I will not be going back to school next year. I was not accepted into the program. The letter stated that due to the high volume of applicants they were unable to accept everyone who met all the requirements.
I am able to defer my application until next year & can apply again using everything from this year & I would automatically start in at the interview process. I'll be doing that, just to keep my options open.
I was a little upset & disapointed, but I think most of that has to do with the fact that I simply was not accepted. Makes me a little peeved & unsure of myself--I rode 8 miles on the Burke-Gilman trail last night to rid myself of any aggression. :)
After sleeping on it, I am mostly just relieved to finally know & stop waiting! I feel like I can move on now & start planning (& Levi can too) & I am excited. I have approached applying with the mindset that if I did not get accepted then it was not meant to be & there is something better for me down the road. I am excited to move on & find what God has in store for me!
Thanks for all the support & encouragement while I was preparing & applying to this program--especially to Levi, who put up with me through it all. :)

If you are interested book early cause we are sooooo popular:) Well maybe not but hopefully we will have several people over soon.

Apartment life over
So apartment life is finally over for us. Hopefully it will be permenant, but you never know.
We did the final walk through on the old place and I tell you that place has very little class. The carpet in that place is horrible, was horrible when we moved in and is actually better. We couldn't believe they didn't replace it before we moved in. Now they may be trying to charge us for the carpet even though it is cleaner now then when we moved in. I also asked them to replace the garage door about 6 months ago and they still have not gotten to it.
All well it is behind us and now we are in the new place. Stay tuned for my wifes huge garage sale...
