Tip 2: Calf raises
Anywhere you are standing up (like waiting in line at the ATM or grocery store) you can do these. I thought this was a good illustration but you DEFINITELY don't need the heavy weight up top (only if you want to...at the gym not in line at Safeway lol)
I like to do 3 sets of 20 at a time when I'm just standing at work behind the desk or when I'm reading standing up (see below).
Happy raising!

Summertime

Summer is here! Well it's been summer for me for quite some time now, but I'm finally remembering that I have this blog and I'm going to write.

So after I spend over two weeks in China I realized that my chinese is pretty bad. I can understand people pretty well, but it's so hard for me to articulate simple things to other people without saying "uh" every second and feeling really inadequate about the way I juan she (curl my tongue?). SO I hope I can continue to take chinese classes here. Even though the classes are really hard, I think it's a worthwhile investment especially since I've been able to share the gospel with some of my family members in China. I really want to be able to get to know them better so I can share God's love with them.

APARTMENT
God has been so faithful in providing me and my housemates this new place. hehe as Keith puts it we are in our honeymoon stage, but even if that wears off soon it's okay because God is using this process to sanctify us. Right now Julie and I are sleeping on borrowed mattresses, basically bumming it in our living room and Julie/Mish's room all the time. Anyways moving is crazy, and I'm slowly getting used to cooking food and walking very far to get to class.

SCHOOL
I get to read Pride and Prejudice for my English class. HOORAY! :)

okay I must go help Julie move now...so long for now!
