This weekend I went to the MWCA Conference in Muskegon, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I also got a free tote bag (which I already love and want to use forever) out of the deal! And, since I drove myself and two other fellow writing consultants there, I am getting reimbursed from the University for probably twice what I actually paid for gas for the trip. Niiiiice. ;) And I really want to put together a presentation for the ECWCA conference in the Spring.
I think I ate 5 Reese's peanut butter cups within the past couple hours. Whoops.
I did all my homework while I was on campus today and it feels good to not have to stay up late doing it.
I love David Crowder Band. <3
I talked to my parents for the first time in a while last night, and I tried calling Rach tonight but didn't get a hold of her. It's been weeks since I talked to her. :( Makes me sad. Today in the women's LifeGroup I am a part of, we talked about Chapter 4 in Captivating and how the way our parents treated us as children effects our femininity/self-image/relationships. I felt so lucky to share that my parents have always been encouraging and loving, and that there's nothing that sticks out in my memory that they've said to hurt me. In today's world, that's totally amazing. I know I'm blessed to have the parents I do, and I've been missing them a lot lately.
I went to the 11 am service at Mars Hill on Sunday by myself, and sat surrounded by families. The family in front of me had 3 young girls. The oldest one had her head on her dad's shoulder for much of the service, and he had his arm around her shoulders. It made me miss my dad so badly...and miss those days when I could cuddle on him like that. ::sigh:: Growing up just sucks.
The next time I'll be home will be for Thanksgiving.
I might be volunteering with Mars Hill Kids, because they need lots of people. Am I crazy to want to add one more commitment to my list? But the kids! I could be a worship leader or story teller or special needs helper! It just sounds like a good deal to me.
I'm having a hard time saving up money toward the MacBook I'm supposed to get for my Christmas present. I don't think I'll have $500 by Christmastime. Should I just go for something cheaper, but still of good quality? I just really want a laptop...I guess I really don't need all the fancy amazing stuff a MacBook has...and my desktop is getting slower and slower, and it makes my bedroom like 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house...which I guess could be nice in the winter, but I'm not liking it right now.
I guess I should take advantage of not having to do Greek and get to sleep early. But not before watching a little more X-Files! :) I think I'm just about at the end of the episodes Rachel taped back in the day. I'm hoping to watch the entire series from start to finish sometime in the near future. I'll need to borrow/rent a lot, especially the last seasons, which I don't have much of...I'm watching "Within" right now, which is the first episode of season 8...which might be the latest episode here. I kind of don't want to watch the rest of the series, though, because I know it focuses a lot on Dogget and Reyes, and to be honest, I don't care for the characters. And then I heard Mulder and Scully's relationship gets a little weird? I don't know...::sigh::
OK. bedtime.
