Dells baby!

I didn't realize that I haven't blogged since monday..haha. God is sooo soo so so good. did you know that? because he is. I get to spend the weekend with the girls and i'm so happy that it's happening. I missed them all so much and some I haven't seen in a couple years! It's going to be amazing. I am digging into the scripture with our weekly devo from church. I've had a couple people say that they read my blog, which is good...glad someone other than myself is reading it. haha...well I have lots to do today so i'll keep this one short..maybe i'll do another one later in the day after we get to the wilderness! YAYYYYYYYY!

Happy Birthday Brittany Nicole Daigle!

Today was crap...

i was bored out of my mind at work and then again when I got home.
I think i finally have all the details ready for this weekend in the dells...yesssss! :)
on the plus side i finally made those cd's for jay! I'm just listening to music now.
I wish I would have been in Iowa today...they were playing games when Liz texted me a picture of them playing cards. Wish I was there...and now i'm going to stop creeping on fbook and start reading my bible and probably go to bed. I really hope tomorrow is better than today...this weather is depressing :(

song of the moment...Nothing's going to stop us now- Starship
I heard that song on my way to spirit lake right as i was leaving camp last week...love the song though!

Sunday Fun Day

yesterday was so chill....until i got to work. we were busy...which i like but we were short handed...which i don't like so much. we close at 10:30 and we didn't get out of there until 11:45 and to make matters worse Isaac and Taira were fighting. I had a bad feeling about last night and apparently I was right because he ended up getting into a huge fight with her, pushed her down and started choking her...of course I didn't find this out until today at work. She didn't come in b/c she was still pretty distraught about the whole situation. I hope that she finally realizes that Isaac is dangerous and if she stays with him, she may get severely hurt. Please put her in your prayers (anyone who actually reads this besides me). Pray that she might seek comfort and peace in God.

Today was a pretty chill day as well. I woke up and went to 10:45 service, which i haven't done for quite some time. I went by myself. Pastor was talking about John 3:16 today...a great verse and he also talked about how we as a congregation should become more rooted in our faith walk and take what we learn in church and practice living the word daily and he gave some suggestions for how to do it as well. I liked it. Today in church, we also started a new prayer shawl ministry in which we blessed and said a prayer for those who may need the shawls. After church I talked to pastor about possibly filling out a reference for me for camp and he said yes and then he paused for a moment and said something really hilarious...wait, both of you at camp?! Are they going to be able to handle both of the Charles girls!? haha i bust out laughing. I then told him about how Melissa is sick (she is if you didn't know btw)...and he suggested that I take a prayer shawl for her. I think that it is really an awesome concept and so did she...I spoke with her on the phone today. She was at wal-mart and also out to eat with people after the recharge. I talked with her for a bit and then I also talked to Tim. It was nice talking with him. :) I'm a little jealous because he said he's going to boyz-n-berries tomorrow and sadly i'm not. The badgers lost and my bracket is pretty messed up now....i will laugh though if Syracuse goes all the way..hahahahha! I'm stressing a little about this weekend. its going to be so much fun but there's way more planning involved than i thought would have needed to be. oh well...it will be worth it in the end. I really miss being in Iowa...and keep praying that it's where I am meant to be this summer. and if not, i will visit as much as i can! Pray for that too! i don't really think anything else happened today...work was boring. i'm excited for tomorrow though b/c i get to be the waitress lady and wear earrings and look like a girl...haha. oh, mom's on her first overnight shift at LHS...i hope she does well. New OTH tomorrow something to look forward to. I'm getting sleepy so i should go...maybe i should print these off one day and send them to granny...she would LOVE it! Oh...and i listened to "Out of the Woods" by Nickel creek today...great song...i forgot how great it is.

I found this in the notes section of facebook...i'm making people work hard to find out about me...haha Oh and I love pink floyd saturday, i wish missy was here to enjoy it with me though.

Blogging again...

Alright,...I haven't blogged in a long time. Like 2 yearsish i think. I just thought it would be a good idea to start up another one. I often forget the exciting things that sometime happen to me in a day anddddd this way if anyone is curious about my life, they can go check out my blog :)

Today is a friday and I went to work...but i did something even more exciting today. I applied at Ingham Okoboji to be a counselor for the summer!!!! Please pray that I get it. I think it is an amazing opportunity to learn more about myself and God. I have been trying to find excuses why I shouldn't apply for the longest time and after my visit this past week, I just had enough and decided to just go for it. God has been pushing me closer to him and here is my chance to shine for him. Praise him for all things! A big reason why I feel called to serve at camp is also because of my sister. She found out on Wednesday that she is sick and I really think that she needs me at camp this summer as a familiar support....heck, i need my sister. I get so excited every time i think about what this summer could bring if i get the job. We'll see....i'm anxious to find out.

Work at slut hut was boring today but it went super fast...i wish every shift was that fast...and smooth. I got all of my stuff done by 11:30! :) After work I came home and gave McKinley a bath because he needed one hecka bad and cleaned forever. I had so much laundry to do and my mom's friend denise is coming to visit tomorrow to attend the Taste of Tomahawk. needless to say I got kicked out of my room and have to stay in my old room and sleep on the futon. it could be good though...i like to switch it up sometimes. So now that my stuff is all clean, i decided to make a blog :) I'm going to check my bracket and see how i'm doing and thennnnnnnn probably go to bed. Objective of the day for tomorrow is to finish the CD's i've been planning on making for Jay since October....am i a bad friend....i think so.

p.s. to anyone reading this...please pray for Allison Antoine and her family....her grandmother passed away.
