Back at School

So I'm just about to finish my 2nd week at school and it feels like I've been here at least a month! I feel like I should be way more into the swing of things and settled into routine, but then I remember we haven't even been here 2 weeks. It's so crazy.

There have been some really amazing times here. Last weekend I went to Ohio with a few friends for Ashley and Drew's wedding... and it was INCREDIBLE. The entire weekend was a blast! (I'll post pictures soon).

Tonight was the first night of Allied Force (Youth Group)..and it was so good to see the high school students again...they really are a great group.

Tomorrow I am leaving with a bunch of other Moodies for the Youth Leader's Retreat and I'm really excited about it....but I'm also kind of nervous because that means there's a lot less time to do homework...and I'm already a little overwhelmed.

It's time for sleep.. so I'm going to hit the hay... but if you're reading this, if you think to pray that somehow life will slow down a bit, that would be greatly appreciated. I'd rather not spend this semester tired all the time.

Thank you, I love you all!

hell's gate...girl's day out

A couple of weeks ago Heather and I took a day to go on a mini road trip...to a tourist trap known as hell's gate. The river was incredible, but it was just fun to have time to hang out with Heather!

"School's Out" Celebration!

When exams were all done and we had some time to relax a group of us went out to the Grand Lux Cafe for amazing dessert!
The boys didn't like us telling secrets... so they decided to tell a few secrets of their own :P
Sarah's reaction to the boys' secrets "do we care?!.... NO!" ;)
CHOCOLATE cake..... Allision and I.... we definitely couldn't finish it between the two of us!
Nikki and I enjoying this time to relax and have fun with an amazing group of friends.
