I know it's been a while since I have updated on my life. These past few weeks have been insane with some nuts and cherry on top. I found out due to scheduling conflicts I will not be graduating in August but December. My advisor dropped this bombshell on me, and to be honest I am OK with delaying graduation.
I have my first interview for an internship this coming Tuesday @ 3:30 PM with Twin City Mission....please pray for me!! I am excited.
I promise to update everything more, but for right now Allison is here and we are taking a ROADTRIP TO BASTROP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teenage Filled Weekend
This past weekend was great...I spent the weekend with Liz and Kat while their parents went hunting and "shooting" photos!! It was an entertaining, exciting, and exhausting weekend with 2 teenagers!! Friday night consisted of listening to music on a boom box and computer with the TV (more than a little ADHD going on there)!!!! This entertain lasted about 2 hours of listening to music, Internet, and television madness....hahahahaha!!!! Then I asked, "I wonder if Aaron Carter made a music video of this song." Liz and Kat jumped to the computer saying...."I will find it on youtube." That's when an awesome dance party broke out in the kitchen around 12:30 AM!!!!!!!!! At one point during the dance party Liz states, "This is so fun we never get to do this!" That statement made the whole weekend for me because as a youth leader I LOOOOOOOOVE being able to do fun, cool, and hilarious things kids don't/won't do with their parents!!!!!!!! Then someone (Kat) said lets watch a movie, and someone (me) else said, OK!
Saturday we slept in late, and then went ice skating, ate SPOONS, and began watching Indiana Jones 1, 2, 3 (this is what happens why I said we can do anything you girls want to tonight)!! Laser tag was supposed to be thrown in there, but we ran out of money (or we really wanted SPOONS more)! No worries, I won't make that mistake again!!
Sunday, Kat and I went to church! Then around noon Liz, Kat, and I laid down on the pull-out-couch watching Indiana Jones 2 and 3, followed by Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Neither of the girls napped, but I definitely took advantage of the napping process (at one point in the napping process I woke up with 5 blankets on me)!! Sunday was wonderful because I was too exhausted to move, think, breathe.....So lying on the couch and just watching movies with the girls was sweet!!!! The greatest part of the weekend happened when the garage door opened, AND the parents were H.O.M.E.
Now after spending the day with ZERO KIDS OR TEENS....I am off to enjoy a night hanging with friends and watch THE BACHELOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH New Year's Resolutions!
After listening to many different stories of hearing of the inevitable New Year's Resolution! Well I decided to cave and make a resolution......BUT I have decided to keep tracking with some changes I have made this fall semester.
1. I have been extremely diligent with spending quality time with God. I will continue journaling which is something that became apart of my life this past spring!! Becoming a youth leader has challenged my faith more than ever in my life, I rely on prayer more than anything! I can honestly say that I LOVE IT!!!
2. Running a 5K, Allison and I began training for our 5K this past fall. Then school, youth leader, working, and life happened....Needless to say the training fell apart. I started back almost a week ago, and I am up to running (OK slow jogging 2.5 miles)!! These next couples of weeks I will increase to 3 miles, and decrease my time!
3. Devote more time to myself...This fall I return to an old pattern of serving too much, over committing, giving too much, and running myself ragged. Now this will be my biggest challenged in the Spring, but thankfully I have a dear friend (Allison) who will hold accountable to me time!!!
4. Many times in the fall I felt completely overwhelmed with emotions and out of control (if you know me this is NOT a normal character quality). I taking many tangible steps to resolve this problem, and one specific lady at Grace who is helping me out (haven't even met her yet)!!
5. School: Finish classes in the Spring, get an internship, graduate in August, get a J.O.B.!!!!!!!!!!!!! My life will drastically change in the next 7 months, and I am choosing to trust my GOD with MY future (WOW, that's a hard phrase to even type)!!
