Happy 1st Birthday Kaiden

Seems like he should still be this little again. Time sure does fly! I love you Bubby

What a great friend you are

Just to let you know I consider you one of my closest friends. You were there for me when I needed you and in return I was there when you needed me. I will miss talking to you, eating with you, visiting you in the library, working together, and my random hugs from you . I especially will miss you as my seat buddy ;).

A story all in itself! Mud, winches, cooking trailer, dishes, etc :)

I know that change takes place in everyone's life although I do not like it I am learning to adjust. I know that there were times that I never told you how much I cherished our friendship but I truly do. I know that we will still see each other and do things together but for now I miss you my Friend. May God richly bless you in all that you do. (Here are a few pictures of fun times together)

When I Cry

Makin' a list of all of the good things You've done for me
Lord, I've never been one to complain
But right now I'm lost and I can't find my way
My world's come apart and it's breakin' my heart
But it helps to know Your heart is breakin' too

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

Alone in the dark, face in my hands, crying out to You
Lord, there's never been a time in my life
There's so much at stake, there's so much to lose
But I trust it to You
You'll bring me through
And it helps me to know that I'm not alone

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

You're the one who calmed the raging sea
You're the one who made the blind to see
You looked through all of heaven and eternity
And through it all you saw me...

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
And when I've lost someone it takes a piece of You, too
When I fall on my face, You fill me with grace
Nothing breaks your heart, or tears you apart
Like when I cry

December Events

Semester ended well. This past semester was the busiest one I've had since I've been in college. Thank the Lord I stayed healthy and finished the semester with very good grades!! :-)

Sometime back in December I turned another year older. It was kinda weird not spending it with my family but I spent it with some close friends! We went out to eat at the Rio Grande and had a blast! Esther greatly embarrassed me and asked if they did anything for birthdays. Later I felt something on my head and was handing the Mexican ice cream which was very good :)
I also went ice skating one night with the P.A. girls and T

:D
Awesome friends!

Home

I'M HOME! That's enough for me

Lots have happen since I last blogged. Pictures and some info will come soon.

Just a few things I'm thankful for

I'm happy! This week has been a little on the cold side but it SNOWED! Every time I see little white flakes fall from the sky it makes me smile from the inside out. Of course I'm a winter baby so that makes me love it even more. I hope that I can go snowmobiling this winter. What fun that would be.

So I have a goal that I'm trying to reach. The goal might be stretching myself, but I'm determined to get it done. Now lets just see if I do. Recently I've been reminding myself that I CAN do it.

I received great news yesterday. As of a few days ago I had a bill that was due within the next few weeks. I knew there was no way possible for me to get the bill paid, but I was trying to figure out ways that I could come up with the money. Needless to say I was getting a little nervous but now I have no reason too. God has supplied my need and my bill has been taking care of! He provided for me even more than what was needed. Yes, we serve an amazing God.

I have plans for the weekend. I'm going to get caught up on sleep. Before I do that though I plan on ice skating sometime in the wee hours in the morning, working, and of course the dreaded homework.

Band is going to southern Indiana this weekend. I'm excited because I will be able to see some old friends that I haven't seen in quite awhile. I hope also that I get to see my family, but if not I will get to see them Wednesday.

Thanksgiving I'm looking forward to. I'm ready for the break that I will have from work and school. More than that I'm excited to spend time with family and none other than eating from the best cooks in the world. I miss my mom's cooking, but between Mom and Aunt Karen I will be able to know what real home cooked food is like again. I also am looking forward to cooking, something I miss doing here at school.
