The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

    Hey sweetie! I'm back on again. I love you and miss you so much. We are so excited for March! I have some cookbooks and micro-cookers I'm bringing for you if you are interested. I just don't need them anymore so I thought I'd offer it to you. Love you!

    Good! I'll see if I have anything else to bring you.
    I have to admit that I am quite surprised that you quit facebook and all others, but I am proud of you. You are becoming a wonderful woman of God and I am so blessed to have you for a sister:) Love you and can't wait to see you. I'll try to put pics up of the girls this weekend. Did you hear that Em is potty trained? WOO HOO!!!!!

    I saw your comment on Jodi's page and just wanted to drop by and say Hello! I hope all is going well for you in Florida. That's a great picture of you.

    You are so sweet! I just sent you a letter yesterday so hopefully it will get there before I do :)
    We are getting really excited to come down--lots of packing and repacking going on.
    I'd love to bring home the Love Comes Softly movies since I haven't seen them all yet and have been wanting too.
    I love you:)
    Keep the warm weather coming!

summer=loved it. full of adventures. mostly traveling. i love traveling. france, jamaica, and canada, all in just a couple months. i am such a lucky girl.

well. i think thats about all i can update on for now! :)
  • troutlikethefish
    Oh my, an update!

    Glad you had such a wonderful summer. I'm quite jealous of all the places you've been able to visit. Granted I suppose I could just drive to Canada tomorrow if I wanted to.

    Anyways, best of luck with your 3rd year and deciding what it'll actually be used for.

a TiMe FoR FiNaLS & uPDaTeS!

this is going to be a busy week! :]

Well first I'm finishing up my third semester of college this week.

3 finals monday
2 finals tuesday
1 final thursday
leave for louisville thursday night
hang out with old friends/hang with new ones friday
my cousins wedding saturday
drive & arrive home in minnesota sometime sunday

AHH! i can't believe ive made it this far. school is almost over. one more semester until graduation...unless i choose to continue my education. i havent really decided what i wanted to do yet. or where i want to end up.

here are some places im considering living next year:
minnesota
north carolina
oregon
new york/new jersey

(notice how all these places have seasons...yeah...)

im seriously ripping out my hair because i have no idea what im doing. and trust me, im praying about it so much. but seriously, im 20. usually that means you are supposed to have some idea of what you are supposed to be doing. but no. not a clue.

haha i know, i know. you will tell me i have time to figure it out. im sure i will but its frustrating right now. hmmm.

[[[[[[[stilllll singleeeee]]]]]]]]]]]] cough. cough.

well. sorry this was sort of a depressing blog. but

I CANT WAIT FOR THE WEDDING ON SATURDAY. KEVIN & EMILY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!! :]
  • kevolaf11
    3 of your places are all places Emily and I would like to live someday. As far as not knowing what you want to do...just look at me. i've been all over the place and have done a couple things already. the fact that you're praying about it a lot is going to make whatever happens the right thing for you. you will make the best of whatever you find yourself doing. Trust in God...trust me, it works. and trust me, too, when i say you mean more to me than i've probably ever expressed :)

    I can't remember the exact dates off the top of my head, but I think it's going to be the 8-18th. I know you'll be gone by then, but we'll be seeing you in MN!!! Miss you.

  • emilyp
    we finished the 4th season of House..wow what an ending - i was in tears!! hope you are having fun (and eating at yoders, yes i am jealous!) love you!
    by emilyp at 04/04/09 9:43AM

:]

Guess what? There are about 11-12 days of class left with 4 days of finals and then im officially finished with my freshmen year of college...yeah i cant believe it either.

haha and now is the time to start thinking about my summer. i have no idea what im going to do! i want to find a job but i think itll be pretty hard finding one. hmm. i think i already know what im doing the last two weeks, JAMAICA (mission trip?) so that should be fun and something to look forward to but until then, ?. i would really like to travel! but who knows, any ideas? lol

on another note. ive been going to my adviser who is trying to help me figure out a major. boy, thats hard! can anyone think of anything im good at?

next year, obviously, im planning on coming back to FC. ive already signed up for classes but its stressing me out that i cant find a roommate!! i waited too long to try and find one...it'll be hard getting a room in the NEW DORM when im single. but i think itll work out, everything always does i guess. after FC i have no idea what im planning on...sigh

i have been blessed with knowing so many people who dont go to FC here. its nice having other people close to my age to talk to who arent in the FC bubble.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ill write more laterrrrrrrrrr.

:]

hope everyone has/had an amazing day!

    Thanks! Most of the christian girls I know either are not my age, not going to F.C., or both. I bet Kaitlin will take care of me though. ;-} It was nice talking to you the other day.
