Long time no blog...

It's been a really long time since I've blogged.
I guess I was starting to feel it was kinda a waste of time since the main people that actually saw my blog, talked with me on a regular basis, but I've decided to take a stab at it again.

Since I have last blogged I have:

• Gotten a new Job
• Gained patience and stellar paperwork skills
• Lost 20 lbs
• Become Engaged!!
• Ran my first 5k
• Found out I'm having a nephew in June!! and and "it" (nephew or neice or both?) in August!
• Watched every episode of lost up to the current season in about a month (sad but true)
• Started cooking and baking random homemade things on a whim
• Picked up reading some again after a sabbatical
• Enjoyed class less and less as I enjoy my time and job more
• Fallen more in love with Jesus
• Missed being around "friends" all through the day
• Made new friends at my job and rekindled old friendships!
• Learned to love my "alone time"
• Become better at admitting I'm wrong....sometimes. haha
• Overall...just enjoyed life even through it's ups and downs!!

Well that's all for today y'all!

Another New computer!

Ok, so my recent new computer went crazy on me and stopped working, so I now have another new computer!!
Its a Gateway mini 11.6. I'm really liking it so far... :)
Let's pray that it will not stop working on me!!

I’m officaially a Masters student!

I’m sitting in my first Grad school class in Columbia. I have to come to this campus just 3 times this semester since they are online classes. But today is my kickoff day, and I’m slightly nervous :/ But it know it will be good.

New Computer!!

So i’m excited!! I got a new computer! It’s a Dell Mini! I’m really excited bc it will be much better to use for school than my old laptop that is basically a desktop bc it automatically dies if it unplug it. :( it’s still a great computer but i can’t really use it for laptop purposes as well. I’m really happy about my new computer and i’m typing on this now!

Off to St. Louis we went...

St. Louis, Missouri.

We visited my Uncle and Aunt from Tuesday night to Sunday Morning.

On Wednesday we went to the Arch and road the little cart up into it!


That night we went to the longest baseball game ever!
Hotdog, baseball, and loved ones....couldn't be better!


Thursday we went to Meramac Caverns...a hideout of the outlaw Jesse James.
It was really cool.



Friday we went to a place in downtown call City Museum. It was so unique and fun, and it's really hard to explain. It was a place where children and adults could walk, crawl, climb, etc all around different stairs, caves, slides, and other random structures inside and outside.


Saturday was filled with playing croquet, playing frisbee golf, going to the mall, taking the convertible across the rivers and around some pretty sites.

Basically, it was an all around great week!!

Camp!

OK, wow, it's been forever since i have been on here!
Camp Marietta has been consuming my summer mainly.

Spending time with campers for the cause of Christ is so rewarding. Each week of my 5 weeks w/ campers so far has been great. Each group whether age 7 or 16, i have loved them all. Some campers are harder than others to let go because you are scared and sad for them to go back to their tough homes. It's comforting to remember that the Lord is sovereign and loves them more than I could ever imagine to love anyone.

1st week
