*Sigh* It has been a long, boring and on and off painful 3 1/2 days. Caleb and I both had our wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday about midday. Luckily all went well with my surgery and his. At first, I was the really swollen one, but now Caleb is in more pain than me and is more swollen. The last thing I remember before slipping into the ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday was quite the busy day. It started off with picking Bethany up at 9 am and going to Melana's so we could go to the Farmers' Market in Oakland together. We did that and then stopped at the park so little Isabel could play. Then we walked a ways around Lake Meritt (I don't think I can spell that right) before we had to go back so I ( Read more... )

I think it is kind of sad that I was tearing up at my brother's Senior Chapel and Tea. I the reason was mostly because of Ezra's testimony about his brother and then at the end his dad said some stuff to him during open mic and ezra gave him a hug. It was all very touching. But yeah, it was nice to be back on my old high school campus, though it ( Read more... )

Wow! I had such a good time yesterday in Spokane. Yeah, the drive up was killer, but it is so gorgeous! People are also really friendly and flexible up here. It is nothing like the Bay Area. My mom and I got to the Matangelo's condo a little after noon and had lunch with Anna and Alyssa (yes we have the same name, and she is 5). I love that family ( Read more... )

Wow. The past couple of days I have learned some really interesting stuff. It started with the link Katrina sent me about the definition of lust and then today I read a note from Leah Blatt on Facebook about love. It was truly inspiring and awesome. It was about how loving God and loving others are inseparable. I think I'm just gonna copy the whole ( Read more... )

Wow! The party at Ashley's house last night was incredible! I met so many cool new people and we played the best games and I won almost every game I played, it was great! I swear Ashley throws the best parties in the world. Lol. We started off playing Imaginiff (I won. lol.) During which I got to get to know some of Ashley's friends, most of whom I ( Read more... )

I should start out detailing my adventures with Emily in Monterey and Carmel, but my heart is very heavy ever since we got back. The following is a message I sent out to most of my friends from church and school and camp ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention in my last journal entry that on Wednesday night a bunch of us college aged people went out to Baker's Square for Free Pie Night and then to "Ian's Hill", up by Stanton. I had a blast up on the hill with Katie, Ashley, Brittany, Josh, Ian, Ben and Jessica. We brought a couple guitars and sang worship songs together as we stared ( Read more... )

Well, my weekend began on Friday. I woke up early and got my blood drawn before I went to school for the ICC retreat. It was great even though I could only go for the first hour. I had a really yummy breakfast: chocolate and poppyseed muffins and croissants and orange juice. Then we went outside and did some group activities. My group played these ( Read more... )

I have got to admit as worried as I am about losing all my free time once I start school, I am way more excited about new classes and friends to make, and to see what God is going to do through DVC United. I am thrilled to be a part of that group of Christians who want to make a difference. I just hope I will be able to clearly express my thoughts ( Read more... )
