diving into life

Wow...it's been way too long since I updated this thing so I figured I would give it a whirl.

Last time I updated was right before camp began....whoa...what a ride! to quote from mr. peter eide...haha! Such a wonderful summer, growing and learning in God's word. Trusting in him at all times and being immersed in his love. Okoboji is great and i seriously loved it...the people, the camp, everything. God is so good.

In August, I moved to McFarland/Madison to start my student teaching in Sun Prairie and I LOVE IT! 7 weeks flew by so quickly and next week I am already in my next placement doing Kindergarten. In 2 month I graduate from college (finally)! I moved in with my friend Tina and her fiannce Matt. I love it here. It is so good to hang out with Tina again and they have a dog Remi that I get to play with everyday. I really enjoy the Madison area and its so interesting and exciting. I have been teaching in a 4K classroom but my placement has been Early Childhood. I have learned so much this semester from my cooperating teachers Lydia and Sally. They are great mentors and I really appreciate the opportunities that I have had with them over these past 7 weeks. So yeah, i think that's all that is really new in my life. I'm just riding this wave and taking everything one day at a time and God will provide! Seriously...so good!

Memorial Day....cleaning?

well...today is a beautiful day almost perfect and I'm spending it inside cleaning. This is by choice though...I have been so productive in the past 18hrs of my life! I went to Wal-Mart last night to buy cleaning supplies and whatever else that I needed, came home and cleaned the bathroom...the shower was gross, lets just leave it at that. Then I renewed my license plates and filled out my jury duty questionnaire...(gross right?)..found an online devotion and did it then went to bed. This morning I woke up starting getting things organized in my room and then I already tackled the living room fully. swept. swiffered. swiffer mopped. shook out rugs. rearranged the t.v. area. put the shoes on the rack. vacuumed the rugs and now i'm resting for a bit. Oh and I read captivating already this morning. God thank you for this wonderful, productive day. I hope everyone is having gt's at riverside...i'm missing them already! Well I think i'm going to go to Wal-Mart to vacuum out melissa's car. peace

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

the title of this blog pretty much says it all...

I have sooooooooooooooooo much to do today, mostly packing. Missy leaves today to make her trip around the midwest...UWW, UW-Lax, then either Mankato or back to camp. I'm glad we got to spend some time together before our adventures at camp together start. We made goals for the summer and I hope we can stick to them 1. Sister Bible time, daily....a chance for us to grow in our faith together. YESSS! 2. Running...this might be difficult depending on what my schedule ends up being but we can do it. okay so it's only 2 goals for right now but those are good goals to have. :) I'm extremely excited to see where God leads me this summer. I know that I am going to learn and grow so much. I can't wait to learn more about God, myself, all the amazing other people I'm going to be working with, and about life too. I have no idea what to expect and I like it. I still don't know what my job position is and I'm okay with that. I just hope that I do well at it. I have a busy two days ahead of me. I have to pack, pack, pack...then go to Britt's graduation party, maybe squeeze in some chinese time, have some besties time with my girls, tomorrow go to church, finish loading up my car, say good-byes, head to Mason City, IA for dinner with my bffffffffffff KATIE and possibly Brent Dodd, then head on over to camp, move in and sleeeep somewhere in there. THen at 12:00pm on Monday, I'm off to riverside for lifeguard training for the week. exciting stuff..yessss. :) I'm excited for the future but i have to think about today and now and thank you GOd for all things! Everybody's going to love todayyyy.

song....Beautiful- Akon feat. Colby O'donis fave lyric..."like the clouds you drift me away, far away...and like the sun you brighten my day, you brighten my day yeah!"

bed

okay so i am sleeping in my regular room tonight...first time in about 2 months. I like to switch it up but i hope its a good slumber...i'm ready to have a good nights rest especially since I've been dreaming like a crazy person lately. I started reading "The Shack" it's good so far....I think it's bed time for this girl Swweeeeeeeeeet dreams!

song of the day..."black coffee in bed- Squeeze"

mark was singing it to me the other day while raking the lawn...haha

SHOUTING!

I have had a joyous weekendish thing. I saw my best friend...she's awesome and ENGAGED?! It's cool and i just needed to be by her and hang out...you know, like bfffffs do. Seriously, amazing times. Then I went down to Iowa...good times? Pretty much. I really love seeing my sister and hanging out with her friends...that's right LIZZZZZZ i'm talking to you! I don't know how to feel about being there this summer anymore...but that's another batch of marbles altogether. God is still good...as always but now I need to get something off my chest.



FOOOZLE....WHY?! Why do things have to be so weird sometimes? Really, like really? Things get blown way out of proportion and awkward and idk I think I'm going on and on about this but really? i need some prayers about now....for clarity and to stop being a girl and overthinking everything.

Okay. Now that that is done. I'm going to read my bible and hope to get some clarity and go to bed.
