Ive been horrible at keeping on top of things on here! But to my defense, my computer decided to hate me and not work right for like a month. The past few days have been ok though, so maybe it just hates the hot weather.

But wow. I did move back into the dorms and already finished my first week of my last year of college! Crazy! Life seems to be flying by right now! I don't even know where to begin!

I really really really wish I could upload all those pictures that Ive taken over the summer, but my poor computer just can't handle it anymore =<

My kids have grown and matured SO much over this summer! They are so busy and getting so excited to welcome their baby brother into this world..hopefully soon! I, of course, am excited beyond words! My friends laugh at me each time I talk about my kids or about the new baby...but I don't care. They just don't understand => lol

Im continuing to watch Ashley each day as well and have begun giving her brother, Mike, rides to football practice as well. Sure makes Mondays and Thursdays fly by!

School is going super well. Im enjoying each of my classes and the light load. I have debated over adding another course, but have not yet. I am FINALLY taking Greek and loving it! We had our first quiz today and I got 56 out of 58..so not too bad. It does help a lot to have a lighter load and thus more time to spend studying, to have a strong desire to be studying, and Jj who has helped me out a few times already in memorizing the alphabet and vocab! Its great that I have quite a few friends who have taken greek before me and can help with the pronounciation of words and explaining the homework assignments! Nate, Thomas, Josh, and Isaiah have already all helped me a time or two lol

Its rough not being in the same room with Dana this year, but we are on the same end of the dorm..altho, I am upstairs and she is downstairs. We hardly ever get to see each other, much less, get to spend quality time talking to each other. About our only time has been in the afternoons right after classes and before work..which tends to fly by super super fast. It is neat to be in the room I am in. I have a freshman roomie and she is super nice..and very pretty! She has a close friend who is in our room about as often as Dana would be if she/I had time and it makes things really fun.

God is so good and it has been so encouraging to be in His Word recently. Seems each time I open it and read, I am reminded over and over and over again about how He is in total control and I need to trust in Him. He is always there for me and will never leave me. Its been a rough start to this year (totally unexpected!) but, God is already working in my life and its been so cool to see how things are already starting to play out! Im so excited for the remainder of this year!! It will be busy, but good.

In fact, this next weekend I will be driving ...somewhere..lol and babysitting for a former seminary student. Im pretty excited. The next week I will be babysitting Ashley overnight Wed-Thurs and then going to the Ladies Retreat at camp that Fri-Sat. Should be an insane week, but super fun..i hope! lol

Well, I should review more grek and think about getting ahead a bit on homework....
