A good way to stay connected...

Hello Everyone!

I thought this would be a great way to stay connected to everyone. College is such an exciting but busy time of life. I really want you all to be a part of everything that is going on in my life. I really do feel like I am living in two completely different worlds... one at home surrounded by the people that know me best and surround me with their love constantly... they other 1000 miles away with very good friends and Disneyland just a hop, skip and a jump away.

Right now as most of you know I am home for the summer. I am finding fun and interesting ways to keep myself occupied. I just got done with a three week "job" in which I got paid to hang out with a fourteen year old... I'm not sure what could be better than that. I am working at ALCC, trying to take some things off Gareth's plate and loving every minute of it.

Sharae and I just got done planning and throwing my parents a party for their 25th wedding anniversary. They were so blessed and everyone had an amazing time!!! I have loved watching my parents and their love story. It has inspired me to never settle for less. Everything for the party turned out wonderful... aside from it being extremely hot!

I must say planning the party was one of my favorite things in the world to do. I could definitely plan parties as a hobby! SO FUN!

Now I am working on R.A. stuff for next year (I will have a floor of forty sophomore girls in my care...). I have a lot to do and not very much time to do it in. I would love all of the prayer I could get!

Aside from that I am working on Girls Institute for True Beauty which is the non-profit organization I am co-founding with Robyn. It is exciting to be a part of something so huge. Neither of us feel adequate enough for this amazing responsibility God has given us... Good thing we have Him on our side!!!

Well, I look forward to staying connected this way to all of you! (Thank you Rachael for the idea!) Have a wonderful and blessed week!
