the good: a few months ago amy applied for a scholarship through the American Physical Therapy Association. the scholarship was for minority students who are in the final year of their program and who have demonstrated strong academics and a commitment to serving under-resourced communities. amy applied, with some encouragement from her advisor, and today we found out that she had received the award! aside from the money that comes with it, she will also be recognized at APTA's 2010 conference...wicked cool, way to go babe!
the bad: on a completely different note, for a while we have really been struggling with one of our neighbors. there is a group of guys who hang out on the porch right next to ours (same floor), and smoke weed all the time. they don't really cause any problems but they are a strong presence on the street and if nothing else it makes you sad to see them wasting their lives and time. we've not really known how to connect with them at all...most of my waves and hellos have gone unheeded. today 8-10 police cars showed up and raided the house...like you see on The Shield. still not sure what exactly went down, or why, but something did and it was intense. hope we find out more soon. it seems like there is a lot going on in our neighborhood right now...prayer would be great.

Excellent! Well done!!
You need to go Mackey on that situation and add "The Shield" to your labels.
(And TELL me you finished it.)
Yay Amy!
