The weather outside is frightful... and it doesn't show signs of stopping.  Rochester, winter is finally here.  And although cleaning my car off every time I have to go somewhere isn't really fun, I do still love the snow.  So much for global warming...

Oh, and I opened up my internet homepage this morning and got a good laugh outa this:

Honestly I just want to start a post with "Oh man."

So, Oh man it is.  It's been a craaaaazy two weeks back at school.  Well, I guess it's just been this last week since I did post a week ago.  Wow, as I told a friend this evening, time flies by too fast and at the same time it takes forever.  It sure is a tricky thing.  So week in a nutshell: lots ( Read more... )

Mmmm... so, been home for a week now.  Meaning I've slept more than 7 hours EVERY night, have had much amazing food, and have spent much time with the siblings.  Thanksgiving was wild (it pretty much always is with my family) yet fun.  My grandparents came up for the occasion.  My grandfather has been experiencing memory loss, and it has been so ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness... quarter pretty much over.  Where did it dissappear to?  I am missing it already, and at the same time it has been jam packed FULL of amazingness.  I leave for home in a bit less than twelve hours.  Presently am typing out my final paper, and then I will be done.  Woohah!  Waiting for some of my final grades to come in still, but I ( Read more... )

One more and then classes are done for the quarter.  Yay!  For a idea of my coursework the past two months and a half:

In one class we had an hour long lecture on dust.  Not kidding.

In one class we watched 'Family Guy'  and 'Fight Club' during lecture time.

In one class we each received our own little potato and sat on foamy squares (think pre-school ( Read more... )

So my job is the most perfect choice for me and at the same time probably the worst I could have gotten.  For those of you who don't know I work in the library, down in the basement in the cataloguing department.  Usually my work is somewhat monotonous as I get to scan things, prep new additions, re-spine label books, and so forth.  Anyhoo, today I ( Read more... )

So, I pretty much had the best weekend yet.  Started out with InterVarsity last night, which moved into a trip to Wal-Mart at midnight to purchase eggs, which turned into Slippey, Katlyn, & I trying to find cowboy-ish gear from hats to boots to plaid shirts.  About an hour passed, we realized we hadn't seen our ride in awhile, so once phoning, we ( Read more... )

It... SNOWED!!!!

Not tons, but still, snow is snow.  I am happy and at the same time realizing just how long winter is going to last.

Yesterday was amazing- I got to leave work early because Chris had nothing for me to do, BUT he doesn't want their budget to get cut due to lack of hours, so I got punched out after four hours anyhow.  Used that extra ( Read more... )

Driving home from small group tonight, I saw the most beautiful red fox just staring at me in the road... more proof that God is amazing and loves me.

We talked this evening of thankfulness and how we need to cultivate a spirit of thankfulness.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ ( Read more... )
