Tomorrow i am checking out a place for the wedding.
For those who don't know i believe Keith and I will be getting married on May 30th 2009
wahooo! So i am touring Sugarhill Baptist church which has an amazing chapel thing. But i just have to decide do i want the cheap option or the expensive option.
I guess i will find out tomorrow.
Today i hit up UGA like a pro.
I have 5 classes... in a row... from 8-3:15
So out of the door at 7:20 with my backpack and a sack lunch i was off to north campus.
My 1st class is Ancient Isrealite Religion - the teacher is great and i am really glad i am taking this class and i think that i will learn some really fun stuff in it.
Then i am on to operations management. I sat in the backrow which is pretty normal for me,but this back row is only 5 rows back, but i couldn't even hear the professor... this class is going to be a bore-war!
Next i stroll on down to the SLC for finance. The teacher said he would destroy us if we cheated.. i was a little scared to tell you the truth, but like usual i sat in the back row of a HUGE 300 person classroom so i felt far enough away
Now back up the stairs of death to Human resource Management. This class is going to be awesome the teacher is really cool and has a crazy teaching style. There will be a lot of work but i think it will be worth it in the end.
Now off to my last class which started at 2 pm .. wow this day was long.. so that class was Leadership. Once again the teacher seems great. I am really looking forward to learning more about leadership so that i can be a better teacher for the kids.
So things on my first day were good. I GOT TO EAT HALF A SANDWHICH DURING MY LAST CLASS.
i think i may lose some weight this semester hehe.
ok i guess now that i have bored you and spent 250$ on books i better go cry! hahaha
I have been a really bad updater!
I am sorry
i have been computer-less for over a week
no one ever buy a computer from circuit city.. they have horrible customer service.
school starts on monday. woop-i-dee-do-dah
when will i even return to athens i dont know!
but pictures are sure to come soon.
So this Sunday at church a nice little surprise came my way!
i wanted to let everyone know that Keith and I are now engaged! wahoooooo~
So Keith did an AMAZING job picking out the ring. It is so beautiful and i just love it! Although Tiffany did not do a good job picking out the size hahaha, so sadly i had to give it up to Shane Co this afternoon to get it re-sized!
check it out:
How perfect is that ring!!!
So anywho... I so beyond happy and so blessed that God has brought Keith in my life. What a perfect home coming gift!
i will post the story / proposal video as soon as i get it!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we are now home.
I can't believe how quickly the past 59 days have flown by.
today is an awesome day for me. One of my very first great friends, Sara, is getting married!
Sara and Casey are both so great and i am so happy for them. I was there for her during thier six flags disaster hahahahaha.
I am so happy that they are FINALLY getting married!!! Congratulations guys!
I am sitting here in our living room this morning just thinking about this past summer. I can not believe i have less than two days in this beautiful place. My heart is in a state of unknown. Normally when a student asks " will you be back next year" i can easily say " if not next summer then i will see you in two years".
Unfortunately this summer i can't really promise that to the students. I graduate in May and we all know what that means.. time for a BIG PERSON job. Obviously i am grateful to Todd who for the past 3 years has allowed me to take off for the summers to come here. I know that window of time isn't always going to be open for me. With the price of ticekts to get here it seems useless to come for just a short stay. well let's not say useless, but it just seems like there is no way i could get it all in in the time i would be here.
Today has been 8 weeks since we left the states. CRAZY
It is so crazy how time just flies by so quickly when i am here. Of course i am ready to get home to see my family and Keith and my friends .. .and also eat mexican food, but it is a really bittersweet feeling as i leave this place. I am asking for some major prayers on this issue. My heart is just so torn and i am not ready to say goodbye not knowing when i will return.
on a brighter note. Tonight we are having a going away party! I am hoping it will include 1.food 2. albanian dancing 3. soccer 4. good fellowship 5. lots of laughing 6. no crying haha
Last night we made our yearly visit to our 1st family friends in KS. The mother is a music teach and she has 3 awesome kids. Each and every year we go to their home and they welcome us with lots of great food. We always do our yearly pictures and just have fun laughing!
Now i have to finish my internship paper which is due tonight .
see you in a few days.
Back from camp.
i am so tired. I finally got a decent night of sleep last night just to realize that i have so many visits i want to do and that i have a paper to finish for school by tuesday. OHHH
Camp was great. well if you would of taken away the rain and made it a lot warmer it would of been perfect. It rained tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. We didn't get to go on the BIG HIKE and i am almost positive that is because my mom prayed against it for the 2nd year in the row.
My role at this camp was just behind the scenes. I helped Joanna out and was the media person. It was really tiring, but i played a lot of cards and got to hang out with some really awesome kids.
Some of the guys brought guitars and it was fun just sitting around and singing with them. I learned how to play " Apologize" so we were belting that all week. One of the guys Faton can sing some awesome spanish songs. It was great.
Dutch blitz is a staple in my life for sure. I am so happy that i learned it.
Anyways. camp was just a good time to get to hang with the students. We laughed A LOT and just enjoyed each others company.
ok well i am a bad writer so i let pictures do the talking.
Here is the video that caused me so much grief.
hopefully keith .. the video making master... will approve of my skills.
enjoy!
Sometimes we are quick to blame the devil for things in our lives.
such as ... an example tonight.
All week i was at camp... working on the video that has to be finished by the morning. I left camp today half finished ( 2 songs) i knew the 3rd song would only take me a little bit to finish.
So i come home after our fun dinner out to find that my file had disappeared.
my first thought was.. its the devil
but then i thought to myself... i have had some trouble with Peace lately and feeling worried and things, so maybe this is just God revealing himself to me that he is my rock and my strength and when crazy things like this happen i dont need to stress or worry because he is in control Phillipians 4 has really been on my heart lately.
so anyways. i should be asleep because i have had no sleep this week, but i am ALMOST finished ... finished with what i lost that i had worked on all week. So in the next 30 min. i will be doing what i was supposed to be doing 2 hours ago.
camp pictures soon haha
We are leaving today for the university camp. I am a bit worried about the turn out, but all will be shown about noon today. As of Friday there were 32 on our list, by Saturday there were only 24 on our list. We are hoping that all those students come but we will see!
This weekend hasn't been too hectic preparing for the camps. We tried to get as much as we could done before the team got here. I already have most of the copies made so i would say that my stress level is at a low level. I don't know what it is about copies... when i arrive in KS i always let everyone know that I AM THE COPY GIRL... i need to just give this stressful role to someone else HAHAHHA.
Last Thursday was Laura's birthday and also our good friend Artan's. We went out to coffee to celebrate and that was really fun. Since we had been in Macedonia all day we didn't have a chance to bake her a cake, so Katie made her a coffee cake which we enjoied on Saturday.. a little late but that is ok!
Did i mention how great it is to have my neighbor Trent here. We prayed diligently that God would allow him to join us this year and i am glad we did. Besides the unending jokes about how UGA is inferior, i love having him here.
Remember that Katie, Laura and Trent will be staying down this week and chilling in Peja. I will be up at camp. I am a little stressed about getting to see all my friends when i will only have about 3 full days left after camp stuff. I know it will all work out ok though.
Well have a wonderful week!
