My Father

This is my father...

I hope that someday I can love others like he does. And that I find a husband who does as well. I love you dad!

EXCITEMENT!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR BREAK!!! Only 4 more official classes, then two finals and two pseudo-finals where we either present or turn in work. SWEET DEAL! Bah! Can you tell I'm just really excited to get away from Eau Claire for awhile? Or away from the US for that matter! :)

And another thing that brings me great excitement is that MICAH is coming to visit on Friday, along with DANIELLE! Excitement!

Time Well Spent

These last couple days have been a blur! (But a good one at that!) Friday I spent some quality bonding time shopping with my soon-to-be new brother! Then Danielle, Johnny, and I headed to the airport for a tearful yet happy reunion with the rents. And the last three days have been filled with shopping (found a dress for the rehearsal dinner), errands, food, wedding planning, movies, and conversations! It's been great to finally get to see, touch, and talk to mom and dad face to face!

I have started doing an in depth look at Romans, which seeing as I'm only on chapter one, has been really good. I also started reading "Set-Apart Femininity" by Leslie Ludy.... and the same thing is true with that! So I'm sure you will probably hear more about those later!

Alright, well I'm going to get off the computer and go spend some more quality time with the fam!

Welcoming Family

A fourth of July update has been requested per nana. So here it is!

Sunday morning one of my best friends, Andra, and I went to church. We went to a place I had only visited once before and I really liked it... thinking I'm gonna have to check it out more! So we had to leave a little early in order to go back to the dorms and get my stuff, then we headed out to her aunt and uncle's house which is about a half an hour away. They live on a lake, so the original plan was to be out on the water all day skiing and tubing, but it poured all day! So we just spent all day inside playing games (Farkle and Sequence), eating, chatting with the adults, and playing with the kids. It was super fun to just be able to be with a family that was so welcoming. And the food was delicious!!! Lots of different salads and desserts to enjoy! And of course corn on the cob. We then shot off some fireworks at night because the town they live in did their fireworks show on the 3rd. So all in all it was a great fourth of July!
