what do you want to know?

A week recap:

Highlights

1. Finally ate at the cheesecake factory. It was amazing. I had the snickers bar cheesecake, yum!
2. Church Saturday night was amazing. One of the best sermons I have heard in awhile. Laura already gave kudos, but PF talked about God-thoughts.
3. Acted on a God-thought and had the most incredible conversation with my mom about Jesus. She is totally seeking Him. I was floored. My mom's salvation is near. It is one of the impossibilities I'm praying for this summer.
4. Spent some good time with my sis for the weekend.

Lowlights

1. My sister and I went to get pics done at sears for my mom's bday and father's day. It was so stressful and took forever. The people working there were, well untrained, unprofessional and never got our pics right. We will see how they turn out.
2. Lacey moved out. Pilar moved in (thats not a lowlight), but i couldn't sleep last night cuz it felt so strange to have a different person in my room.
3. My fingerpolish is chipping and i don't have fingernail polish remover. Its annoying.
4. There is something going on in the spirit realm. The last 4 close friends I have talked to are struggling, dry, low, or have just been feeling kinda numb lately. This isn't technically a bad thing, because there is always a battle before a victory, but its still hard and got some people down. Something is going on so we need to be interceeding and delcaring God's grace, sovereignty and power over whatever it is so we will know how to pray and encourage one another.

My summer verse: "For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment." Luke 1:37 (Amplified bible)

Moving on out

Well my room is about half empty. It makes me sad, but Lacey has most of her stuff packed up. Even her bed is gone because she is house sitting the rest of the week and then going home Sunday. It makes me feel like i should be moving too, but i still have 3 months. My new roommate will be moving in some time next week i think. She will be a lot of fun. She is going to work as a bartender this summer. I have known her since my freshman year and she was the only other senior athletic training student although she is not graduating until dec. We are living very different lifestyles right now, but we both need more of Jesus so I'm sure we will get along. I have no idea what this summer will be like, but I have a feeling it is going to be an adventure.

I still haven't found what i'm looking for

I should not be blogging. I need to be studying, but there was something in me that just took control and now look; here i am blogging. I have to keep it short and sweet. Casey's wedding festivities were amazingly fun and amazingly tiring. It was like one big party that lastest 4 days. Lots of food, no sleep and lots of people. Lacey is home! I'm so thrilled. I have the best roommate ever. I ordered a custom bag from timbuk2 and I should get it this week. I just ate a tasty BBQ hamburger with an awesome dinner and tomorrow is already my "friday". Now I must hit the books.

Wedding Bells

Well tonight is the big kick-off. In case you are unaware Casey, my best friend from home, is getting married this week. She is marrying her HS boyfriend Scott who I have known since we were 14. Strange isn't it? So it turns out people claim I'm responsible for this wedding because Casey moved to Ridgefield her sophomore year in HS and I introduced to her my friend Scott. The rest is history. But its kinda weird that I knew them when they were a "high school" couple and now they are tying the knot. So what does all this mean? Well...

Tonight = the bachelorette party
Thursday = the rehearseal dinner
Friday = wedding
Sat = Brunch with the wedding party

For me it means: a haircut, highlights, pedciure, manicure, a pink dress, pink shoes, seeing old HS friends and yes there is a boy I'm supposed to "meet". Casey and Scott are trying to set me up at their wedding. Ridiculous, but I agreed to it. His name is Mark and he went to college with Scott. They tried to set us up before, but we were too busy with school. He is coming to the wedding so I guess I'll meet him there. Expect absolutely nothing to come of this..unless i catch the bouquet. HA! I feel like i might regret even mentioning this on here. So if you think about it just pray for the rest of my week with my family and old friends. It should be fun.

When its 95

This is where I want to be

thanks!

I just wanted all my friends to know that you are incredible and i had the best 23rd birthday ever. It was lots of fun, so thanks for celebrating with me. And kudos to steph who swallowed half a piece of sushi, well done friend. I hopefully got rid of the shopping bug that I caught because I have definetly done my share of supporting our economy the last two days. I came away with 2 new jackets, 3 shirts, a new purse/bag, a wedding present and a graduation present. I still might look for a watch, but its kinda nice not to be tied down by time. Now I need to catch the cleaning/organizing bug cuz my room needs help.

its been a long time

Wow, the last time i was here was april 25. yikes that was forever ago. well i don't even know what to say, graduation has come and gone. no real goodbyes or see ya later, it just kinda ended. I'm fairly confident that college friends will always be college friends. If i think about it too much then i get sad and then i might cry so....anyways. Arizona was amazing. A 5 day backpacking/camping trip into Havasu Canyon was beautiful. The waterfalls were incredible and the adventures were memorable. Once i figure out how to post pics on this thing i will. Maybe i can figure it out. It was definetly relaxing and beautiful.

June 11 is the day. I finally registered for my national certification exam after procrasinating for about 9 months. Its so scary and i'm so nervous cuz this is the "test" of all tests. This is the whole reason i went to college the last 5 years, to become a certified athletic trainer. I have to study all my textbooks from the last 4 years of college and try to remember it for an all day 3 part exam in Cheney, WA. I'm feeling like thats about a 5-6 hour drive from here in eastern washington. Yikes i'm nervous. 4 weeks to study my brains out. Now that it is summer all my friends want to play, ironically i'm the one who has to study.
