Interests: hmm... I love God... I love my sisters...and my friends. I would rather go on a long walk in the woods than watch a movie (unless I'm feeling really lazy). I could live off tea and dark chocolate. Europe is so precious to me... especially Scotland and Germany. Again, I love my friends and super-competitive/crazy family...

| Time just flew by these past 3 weeks....
I had the most wonderful picnic at the golf course this evening for Collin's birthday. Such gorgeous weather (it's been just like summer these past few days) and the apple trees were full of white and pink blossoms, and of course, amazing people. I love having everyone come back from their faraway travels and hearing the stories, and seeing everyone I missed.... but it really hit me today with the reality that school's not only just around the corner, it's HERE. Break is over.
Part of me is excited to finish out this school year and get on to the summer, and the other part is just really afraid time will keep flying by too fast. PLUS, I'm looking forward to lots of busyness with soccer and AP exams and JSB planning for the next few weeks.
At least I get the break to go to London!! I can't wait for the field trip... in only a few days!!!
Sleep is calling me now,
take care guys. | | |
| Spring break tomorrow... I'm so excited for it. I'm only afraid I won't get enough rest and relaxation time. I have a feeling it will fly by. I'm going to Heidelberg tomorrow!!! and then'll be back for a day, then on to Chinquoterra (sp?), Italy for a few days with family and the Holladays, and then back for Easter, and then on to Austria for a conference for a few days, and then back for school. Not too many days in Kandern like I thought I would have, but I love to travel, so I'm not complaining. It'll be incredible just not to have homework for a while (except for APs... oh joy)... and not having to wake up early in the mornings.
Spring is coming to kandern (even though there's still sporadic patches of resistant snow around town)... and it is an amazing feeling to have the sun still be up into the evening and when I wake up in the morning.
Well, I hope everyone has a peaceful break... and some excitement too.
See you all someday...

| I'm working on not getting a cold... because that would really stink on High School Retreat. I can't believe how soon that is coming up! February seemed to go by in a whirlwind. last weekend was candlelight dinner waitressing, which, although my feet were killing me afterwards, was really amazing. I'm sooo glad I could be a part of that, even if all I was doing was offering people non-alcoholic champagne! still, it's such a cool outreach, and I felt really proud when i saw the decorations I had made sitting around the auditorium.
So I'm learning every day how to be busy and not be overwhelmed... and I'm not so good at it. Most of the time I'm just trying to survive...
I guess it's good for me, and hopefully God's teaching me something through this. Right now, I really just want relaxation time, and time with my friends and family, and would love just to dump schoolwork.
Anyways, friends, thanks for being encouraging... and making me laugh and smile.

| I feel like there's too much on my mind these days.
and I'm REALLY absent-minded.
hmm...
I can't wait for small groups... they make my week.
I think I'm gonna be ok after I get settled into the new semester... change can be hard for me.
Friends, I hope this week as lots of little blessings in store for you. I got one tonight and it was so encouraging. Reminds me God cares sooo deeply about me even if I feel like a big pile of mud.
See you :)

| Aaah, ice skating was wonderful. Those of you who didn't go missed out.... even though I'm not really skilled in skating (I can make it around the rink without falling... but no fancy moves unfortunately. I'm not Canadian).... and my feet were killing me the whole time, there's something really satisfying about gliding around in circles on ice.
It reminded me of the snow I'm praying for but hasn't come yet....
After this first week of school, i realized that I forgot over break what it is like to THINK.
And now I'm really tired, and it's mostly because now I have to think- about remembering lunch meetings, and to look at a clock to get to class on time, and to do homework, and having to be organized.....
so I'm enjoying this short weekend of freedom, where I can give myself a break from thinking!
I hope everyone else has a relaxing weekend too...
