15K:]

So today maddie and I skipped church to watch Cherith and Tim run the 15K Turkey Run! We told him we would come watch and support him not knowing it ended up happening on a sunday morning! It was a lot of fun! I had never been to a race before. In this one, they all predicted how long it would take them and the first 50 people closest to their time won a turkey! Cherith got 4TH!! She was only 30 seconds too fast. She regretted running a little faster to the finish line:) Tim's time was a ways off, but he got 41 out of 100! This is the only picture we got. We had major camera problems. Maddies 6 batteries that she thought were charged werent. Then i had my phone, so i snapped the one of tim! But then charith soon followed. As I went to snap the picture my phone said the memory was full. Darn it. They ran such a good race! Im so proud of them both! :]

Just feet away from the finish line!

Oh my lanta..

Thought I would post a few pictures along with this post.

How can I resisit?! These are a few of our dorm pictures we took a few weeks ago!! :)

Oh my lanta..I don't even know what to say!
Its been what.. 6 months? Yikes.
So here is my attempt, at 1am, to start this thing back up.. I say that everytime. We'll see what happens.

So, like I love to do, Ill write out my schedule so you can see what my daily life looks like. :)

5:00--bright eyed and bushy tailed and time for a shower.
5:54- run out the door and barely make it to the 5:55 shuttle.
5:55-- head to work.
8:35-- get back from work and head to class.
9:00-- classes start and continue straight until lunch.
12:30-- lunch
1:10-- Biblical Greek! (yes, I am taking greek...so far alright;)
2:00-- Run out of class to barely catch the 2:05 shuttle yet again.
2:05-- hitch my ride to work
4:15-- get off work and head back to the school
4:30-- start my cm. which is now one of the girls bathrooms!
5:00-- squeeze in some greek homework
5:30--dinner
5:50-- dish crew every third week. (this week is mine;)
6:30-- homework, homework, homework!
11:00ish-- I can usually make it to bed! (yup..im doing so much better than i was last semester!) :)

6 hours or less of sleep... then I start it all over again.

My homework load has been alright.. several several hours a night at most points. But its really good, I just wish at times I could spend more time on it then I am able to, but I just do not have that kind of time!

Oh my stars! God has been doing some amazing things in my life. He is teaching me lots in class and out of it! He has filled me with such joy even when things are not going the greatest! He has been reminding me how good He really is even when my circumstances arn't so good! Also not worrying and freakin out about stuff such as work, school, cm issues...and everything else known as life. I have no reason to worry, the all knowing, all powerful God of the universe has got it covered. What am I thinking? That I can do a better job. Bahaha.. yeah. right. :) All the things I was worrying about before this semester began; Which room I would get, what roomates I was going to have, what my 4 routes were like for work, if I would like and get along with this new freshman class... and so on. Looking back, I did much more worrying about these things then I should have. They have all worked out perfectly! God is truely amazing! My RA is freakin awesome! LOVE her! My roomies are so great! We have such good times! My CM just got switched...so far it has been so great and I like it:) (even though it is a bathroom), my room is probably one of the greatest rooms on campus, and as for the new freshman class...I LOVE THEM! They are all so great! I have really enjoyed getting to talk and hang out with them! They are so fun!

Classes have just been so amazing, I want to take them all again! :] Romans, pnumatology, 1 &2 Peter, James, Angelology/Demonology/Satanology, Family Relationships Class, and others that I cant think of at the moment. As I said, I am taking Bibical Greek! AHHHHH! It's crazy! The teacher, Jason Weaver, does an AMAZING job teaching it, He is so gifted! The WHOLE time is full of class participation and humiliation. ;) It is so good even though you feel stupid next to those few students that seem to be able to speak fluently now and I feel like I am lagging so far behind! But apparently he said everyone starts feeling this way once we are getting to this point. We are only a third of the way through. 6 more weeks! AHHH! :) This semester is FLYING by! I cant even believe it!

Well, I would love to write more.. but.. it is almost 2. I havent stayed up this late for ages. I keep feeling like today is friday night. We have today, friday, and this next monday off work because the kiddos get off school for some parent/teacher conference. Psh. heck. I dont mind... but I would rather work to earn some money.. but God will provide, He ALWAYS does in odd, strange ways! But all day it has been throwing me off:)

Okay, love you all. And I will try and post some pictures and keep you updated a lil bit on my life!! <3

1 year old jaylea:]

here are some pictures of jaylea and her parents!!

God's will is perfect, but not always painless.

we had adventures..

..and we had fun!

Well.. I havent really wrote much on my blog so none of you really heard about Jake.

We had been going out for almost 6 months but as of march 18th we made it official that we are just going to be friends. we had been praying and thinking about us for some time and we decided that we believe it is God's will for us to just be friends. The night before we spent several hours talking, crying, and laughing together. It was a reallyyy hard decision. But we both knew this was God will for both of us right now. we both still really care for each other but want God's will.

One of the hardest things for me... is when i see him, i cant think... oh, theres my jake or want to run up and hold his hand... i cant spend time and talk to him like i did before. I have to change my mindset which is what im having the hardest time with seeing all we have done and been through together..

I knew some of you knew but not all of you so i decided to let you all know.

On to a happier subject..

..i am at mtc [the new tribes missions training center] with amber, dj, and jaylea. thats how i am spending my spring break. :) very relaxing and im really enjoying all the time i get to spend with them:)

Jaylea turned 1 March 22nd! :] it was almost a year ago when i posted about her being in the hospital on Easter day. Its so awesome to see her grow! She has realized how vocal she can be and is on the verge of walking.. she's almost got it. :D i will post some pictures of her in another post.. it will just be easier that way.. :)

now remember..this is my daily schedule..and will be this WHOLE semester.

5:30-6:00--wake up and get ready for work

6:10-8-50--at work[buses] i have a 45 minute layover inbetween routes..so that gives me some time to catch up on homework!

9:00-12:30--classes

12:30-1:00--lunch

1:10-2:00--class

2:10-4:30--at work [buses]

4:45-5:30--my CM [campus ministry. I clean all second floor]

5:30--dinner

5:50-6:30--dinner dish crew. every three weeks i am on this..and this week is mine..:/
6:30-7:00--shower

7:00-?--homework
then off to bed to wake up and do this all over again. yikes. I know.

and then i have my dorm room chore..mine this week is trash. and it needs to get takin out almost every day.

So anyway..thats my day..everyday. at least I get weekends off work:)

My classes have been grrreat! The ones this semester have been more intense this semester. We have Prophets Class, Theology, and Hermenutics 2!

Our Prophets teacher is new. And EVERYONE at this school knows that new teachers mean a lot of homework. after being there for several years..they drop the homework load. This class goes til march 18th. Once we ALL looked at the syllabus, we all decided we were going to have a party the night of the 18th.. if we all survive that is:)

God has been sooo GOOD!! Even tho things have not gone so smoothly since being here. With money, class credits, and work.. but its just going grrreat and can only give God the credit.

ok..i need to run..

im at Caribou doing homework with jake.. finished for tonight.. and thought id say hi and catch you up a lil bit. I have a chapter and a half left of Basic Theology by Charles Ryrie, but not to worry..i have my layover tomorrow morning to get it done..so then i have something to do!!

i love you all! :D
