Life

Wow...I'm a horrible blogger...it's been 2 1/2 months since my last post...I appologize to all 3 of my followers...

Life is crazy, to say the least. This semester has been fun, sad, stressful, and did I mention crazy? 18 credit hours, working 8 hours a week, weekly Leadership meeting, leading a Bible study, College Mentors for Kids, Student Education Association...did I forget anything? I don't think so. Just try to fit anything else into that schedule!

Life has brought a lot of highs and lows for me these past three months. I fell in love with Harleys in September :) It's a wonderful relationship that has brought me oh so much happiness. I successfully got my mom hooked up with her new boyfriend after going on the Ride For a Cure with him...we chit chatted about her and I did some talking a five days later they went on a ride, had dinner, and the rest is history. He's a super nice guy. I like him.

I have gone to my first two football games this semester! A high school game and a college game. I love football now. It's a wonderful wonderful thing as well :)

In October, my roommates and I went to a Big Daddy Weave, Aaron Shust, and Andy Kirk concert at a local church and it was one of the best events ever! Best concert I have ever been to, bar none. It was so amazing to see so many people get so excited about God. It was just awesome. Left me speechless with three new favorite artists.

My dad's birthday was two days after the concert. He and Pam (his girlfriend) came down to visit. I was extremely excited about my dad's birthday present. I had wanted to do this last year for his birthday and that plan fell through. This year, it worked :) I got my dad tickets to a UK basketball game...I despise UK...in every single way possible...but I got us 2 tickets, December 28, 7:00, Rupp Arena. I'm excited...except for the UK part of it all. And my dad was (and is) really excited which makes it exciting as well.

Encounter, the campus ministry I have been involved in since coming to school, had a little Halloween/Costume Party the Friday before Halloween. I loved my costume...not gonna lie...I was a Harley girl :) Pictures will come from all of these events sometime soon, but my internet stinks in my apartment and it takes 15 minutes to upload a picture...so I know you will be anxiously awaiting pictures.

No, not everything about the past few months have been fun and happy and good. Life is just crazy and painful sometimes. But with God holding me up I know that anything is possible, and nothing is too hard or painful to work through :) One of my favorite Bible verses has become Psalm 34:18-20 - The Lord is close to the brokenthearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. It has definitely helped me through a lot the past month.

The next few weeks are going to be very busy and somewhat stressful... 12 days until I get to go home for Thanksgiving!!!! Woo hoo!!!! 12 is my favorite number :)
