New beginnings...

Where to start...
This summer has been incredible so far-amazing, full of new adventures, exhausting, and so much more. I'm currently living in Houston with Michelle, Jonathan, and Brayden and interning with the kids ministry at Second Baptist Church. Last week was kids camp, and Lesley (another intern), a mom, and I had 15 upcoming 4th grade girls. It was a crazy crazy week, but they were such a blessing. Tonight we had our Wednesday night stuff at church, and seven of my girls from camp were there. They usually don't come, but all during camp I told them they had to come and see me.
We'll see how the rest of the summer turns out! I love it here! :)

Happy birthday Rooms!




It is now officially Rainey's birthday! God has so blessed me with Rainey. She is always making me laugh, even though it's often not on purpose :) It amazes me how much energy she has and how she is able to do all the things she does. Thanks Rainey for being such an amazing friend! Love you!

New year

It's a new year! New year, new classes, new things happening everywhere. I'm so excited for this year and everything that it has to offer. A few things happened that prevent me from applying to the Health Sciences Center for next fall, but I'm relying on God that it is His will for me. Luckily one of my best friends is needing to go an extra year before applying as well. I'm trying to focus on the positive things as this is a major upset and totally threw off my plans. I've toyed with the idea of going to school and the fall and doing something exciting in the spring. Unfortunately, my parents didn't seem to appreciate that idea too much. It has always been my dream to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and I think it would be SO much fun to work at Disney World. Of course, this is just a dream and sadly will most likely not ever happen. But---this past weekend, my sorority had a date party called Date-a-Theta. The theme was famous couples, so my date and I went as Beauty and the Beast(he was the Beast after changing back into the prince). He even wore a wig to look more like the prince.

Two of my roomies! Beyonce, Belle, & Pebbles

It was such a fun date party! I'm so blessed to have such good friends. All growing up, the people who drank and did drugs and all sorts of things were the minority-at least at my school. Being at OU (which I absolutely love) it blows my mind that there are so few people with the same morals as me, compared to how many live their life so differently. That's why it is so refreshing to be around such great people all the time.

Another person I am so blessed with is Ali. Ali and I worked at Kanakuk together this past summer. We were both kidsitters and really hit it off. The more we've gotten to know each other, the more we've realized how much alike we are. It's crazy-we are like the same person. Thank the Lord she goes to school in the city! She is such a blessing, and I love being able to talk to her and know that she completely understands me.
Halloween
Last night, a crazy snow storm hit, and today was a snow day! Tomorrow is too! I have been ridiculously lazy, so I'm determined to be somewhat productive tomorrow.  Well that's all for now. I will do better this semester at blogging. Enjoy your snow day!
