Living with geckos and dogs...lots of dogs...

A story from Clint

This happened last night:

Dogs from around the neighborhood bark at night which is OK. However, when dogs outside our apartment bark and fight at night it is highly annoying.

Last night as we lay in bed some dogs were making their usual loud noises. Jeff has a slingshot and shoots them occasionally. I don't have one, but I thought I might look out the window to locate them and then run down our stairs and out the door...possibly throwing rocks or something at them. I walked to the window and to my surprise felt an intense burning pain in my right little pinky toe. I jumped back and shrieked at the same time. Then I remembered the two slain wasps that we had not picked up yet. Maybe we shouldn't have scared the gecko out of our room (they eat insects).

Oh Clint! Thanks for this post...it made me think of you and picture your face in a vivid way. =o) I can't believe you got stung by a half dead wasp...I'm going to tell Noah and he'll think it's amazing. He thinks you're pretty amazing anyway. Good luck with the dogs...

Jenny, I was snickering :). Especially because the whole room was dark, and I couldn't figure out what in the world just happened!

Hey guys, I'm not sure the best way to get in touch with you...but hoping you check this. Does May 24-31 work for vacation for you guys?? In case you didn't get my e-mail, my study abroad class was cancelled last minute so that's what brought this back up again. I know this was Clint's first choice at one point but I'm not sure if it would still work out.

I called their office and we are able to move vacation back to the last week of May for free. I put the week on hold but it's only held until the end of the day...so I need to hear back from everyone ASAP.

Thanks.
Love you and am missing you here!
