I'm bummed that I never took the time to write down all the stuff Linda and I talked about on our hike. I really enjoyed it, but I've forgotten most of the details of our conversation. I just know that we pretty much covered everything I am passionate about. :D We even found a secret tree swing out in the hills. We joked about how romantic a spot ( Read more... )

*Sigh* :) I am totally in love. Today was so wonderful. After an interesting morning of PCM training and an hour commute (though I did get to catch up with a friend from Spokane who transferred to Chicago last semester on the ride back)I was invited to go to the beach by Brooke with a bunch of other girls (most of whom I didn't really know). It was ( Read more... )

Friday night was pretty fun. All of us from Redwood (and Andy) went on an adventure because we had to wait so long for dinner. We ended up eating at Giordano's and we went to the mall and Borders while we waited. It was fun. All the girls thought me and Andy were perfect for each other. I think I agree. I loved it when he stood behind me after ( Read more... )

It's been an amazing week. I've cried and I've laughed and I've hugged people. I am so happy for so many reasons, yet I am so sad to be leaving this place and these people I've come to love. *Sigh* My family arrived a little before 7:30 am yesterday and we had a great time at Riverfront Park. Emily and I rode the 1909 carousel. It was really fast ( Read more... )

I am UNBELIEVABLY BLESSED! Praise God for little glimpses of Heaven on earth. I think I've already mentioned some of the great times of fellowship and worship I've been a part of in the last few weeks; now there's another to add on top of them. Last night a bunch of us celebrated Liz's 20th birthday at the compound. We played games like Taboo and ( Read more... )

Today was a lovely day, except for being so tired and not wanting to get up this morning. I was surprised to be thrown right into working with the kids at church this morning. I absolutely love it. The guys leading it, Ken and Frankie (old men with young hearts), are so funny and friendly. I jumped right into helping lead the singing, then we did ( Read more... )

:D I certainly feel like a have a crush on this guy I met at Ashley's last party. I hadn't seen him since then until yesterday and I saw him twice in one day and then again today. It was great, he is so much fun. Ok, so Silas invited me to go hiking with him and some other people at Lake Chabot yesterday morning. It was fun. I ended up talking with ( Read more... )

I had a really good time last night at Ashley's house. (It is gorgeous btw.) I was the first one there for like n hour or more, but then Katie and Brittany came. Ashley had been making this good pasta for us when I got there and helped her finish. She said that was the first time she'd ever cooked something for someone. :) I had fun. And I did most ( Read more... )

Recently I have made some major improvements in my own self-discipline, particularly in the area of healthy eating and daily exercise. Oooo, now I'm forgetting what day I started. Dang it. I believe it was about the 6th of January that I committed myself to walking for at least an hour a day, eating Cheerios for breakfast, eating bananas as snacks ( Read more... )
