Spring Break Adventures

A flooded road in Clayburn Village....yes... it rained the WHOLE two weeks :P
Heather driving on our mini road trip to Tacoma, Washington
me.. the navigator, excited to go see the Chorale
The boys staying at Joel's house. They were nice enough to invite Heather and I over after the concert.
The road to Tacoma....I think this trip was one of the highlights of spring break. It was so much for to have Heather meet some of my friends from school. The Chorale sang beautifully, and the drive went pretty smoothly. I can't believe we didn't get lost!

JOSEPH!!!!!!!

Me and my newest nephew

Happy Birthday Steph and Amy!!





Two weeks ago a group of us girls went to the Sandbar restaurant in Granville Island for Stephanie and Amy's birthdays. It was great to meet some of their childhood friends, and some new friends. I love these two girls so much. They are a ton of fun, great friends and godly women! Happy Birthday girls!

Psalm 84

How Lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living god.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young -
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and
my God
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Blessed are those whose strength is
in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of
Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it
with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in
Zion.
Hear my prayer, O LORD God
Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Look upon our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed
one.
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in
the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the
wicked.
For the LORD God is a sun and
shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in
you.

Winter Retreat









This past weekend I went on a winter retreat with my youth group up to northern Michigan. It was an incredible time to deepen relationships with the students, have a lot of fun in the snow and on the ice and watch God work in their lives. We got to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Memaree's decision to follow Christ and next year we will get to do that with Marcus and Perry! It was a great weekend all around.

Fun With the Camera!










This is what we do when we're tired and need to relieve some stress.... take random pictures :)Some of these were after the SuperBowl and the others were in the RACO (Resident Activities Council) Office after the 2nd night of Founders week. We brought ice cream and chips.. chowed down, and laughed a lot!

Girls Night!!!

Every Monday night it's time for us girls to hang out and spend some quality time together. SO... Julie, Taylor, Amy and I take turns cooking dinner for each other. We get the chance to learn some new recipes, take a break from the SDR (our cafeteria) and have some much needed girl time. We've had a great time with this tradition and I'm so thankful for these wonderful friends!
Here's Taylor and I trying to look tough in our puffy vests..... I don't think it worked so well ;)

Suits and Skirts....McDonalds Desserts

Our bro-sis kicked off 9N's annual spirit week by dressing up last night and walkin over to the Rock 'n Roll McDonalds. It was super cold outside, but a ton of fun.

These ridiculous roommates are attempting to make fish faces... cute eh?

Friends
Jared and Ben tried to sneak in a picture Heidi and I were taking of ourselves, so we just decided to let them in the picture for real.

Community Group Bowling











For our October event, our community group (smaller group within youth group) went costume bowling in Oak Park and then to Jenn's house afterwards.
