Why I will miss camp this summer...

1. I have been there for about 14 summers in a row
2. I love camp counseling!
3. It brings me out of my shell
4. It means I don't have to be fully grown up yet
5. It is something I am good at and can use my gifts for
6. I have developed relationships, good ones, over the past few summers

My handsom nephew Bradley. He will be finishing up third grade in the next few weeks and I will be in the same pod as him next year... his classroom will be right across the hall from me! He is such a smart boy. This year he told his mom that he wished I didn't go to school so far away. My family is so sweet!

This is my lovely niece Alyssa. She will be finishing Kindergarden in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to being in the same school as her next year. She is such a sweet girl with a huge heart! My first year at school in South Dakota she wished upon a star that I would come home soon. How sweet is that?

Two Down and Three To Go

Three more tests and than the semester is done!

This is me with my sisters. I am so happy that I am able to move closer to them. Our friendship grows as we become older. They don't sit on me and do the typewritter on my chest anymore, instead we talk and laugh and have fun together. Dawn is in the shirt with lacing and Joy is the other one. Joy just graduated from MSU in Billings and Dawn is a Sophomore. They both have huge dreams and I know that they will be able to accomplish anything they put their minds to! 

This is my friend Danielle and one of our awesome professors. I love Lisa Sullivan! She is a first year professor at USF and is so amazing. I'm not even the only one that thinks that. She was named USF Faculty of the Year. It was so exciting! I am sad to be leaving her behind as she has been so much help to me this year in all that I have been through. An amazing women of God! 

I don't understand...

How to make my photos appear. I have downloaded Hello but can't make it work. Can anyone explain how to do it??

Sad!

I actually got myself out of bed and showered all by 6 am! I'm quite proud of myself. Unfortunatly I decided that I deserved a treat this morning and I went to this Sioux Falls coffee shop called Kaladi's. I always get a White Mocha with skim and it is always awesome... today is the exception though. It is awful! The worse part is that I didn't taste it until I was back to my apartment... where, by the way, I got a very good parking spot... so that is the good in my morning. My Christian Thought test is in 1 hour and I'm not ready... but that is okay... I still have an hour to cram bits of information into my brain.

My study habits...

Are just not very good. This is something that I have finally decided today as I begin my last finals week of my undergraduate education. I have a final at 8 am which I have not really studied for and I also have one at 3 pm tomorrow. My plan was to get the 8 am final studied for tonight and than study for my 3 pm final after I take my 8 am final. I now see that that is probably not the best plan as I haven't even started studying and I am about ready to sleep. Ugh... If only I would do what I tell myself to do after every finals week. To bad it is to late now!

I have 5 days left until graduation. I am so excited for what is ahead of me in my life. I have it all planned out up until December when I have to find something to really do with my life! God will provide though and I look forward to what He provides.

When it rains...

It Pours!

My heart is heavy.

My heart is so sad and heavy and bogged down. Last week I learned that the store in which I grew up in was being closed. The store is all that I have known in Roundup. We moved to Roundup the summer I was going into 3rd grade and this June was to be the 15th Anniversary. It is just so weird that I left a place that was like a second home and when I go home I can't go there anymore. My life there is just going to be so different. I am not really looking forward to it. Like I am so excited to be home and away from this place but it is going to really strange being home. The good thing I guess is that I am going to Seattle right away after I get home. It will be good to get away I am sure.

In other news... do any of you ever get something or someone on your mind and can't get them or it off? It seems that in the Spring I get this person in my thoughts and can't get them out. I am dwelling on my thoughts about this person and it is so annoying. I just want to know what is going on with my thoughts and I can't get an e-mail back... grrr... how frustrating!

Anyway... this is quite a sad and depressing post. Sorry!

I know that things will be better... it just takes time!

How many times...

can my seperate roomates mistake my freshly washed towel to be there own??
