I am Yours and You are Mine

In Oceans Deep My Faith Will STAND

Night Time Nap

When I was in high school, I would get really tired early evening. So, I would fall asleep around 7 and I would tell my roommate (Andrea) to wake me up at 8 or 9pm, so that I could study for whatever test/quiz that I had the next day. Almost always, she would wake me up, and I would refuse to get out of bed- night time naps are really hard to recover from! Rudy and I took a two hour night nap today, and we are both struggling to bounce back to life at 8:44pm. Sleep is one of my most favorite things, and my bed time gets earlier and earlier... Night naps are beginning to fade into early bed times and I am pretty OK with it. 

By Faith

In Hebrews 11, there is a giant list of one person after another and all the incredible actions they took, by faith. True faith, is the closest thing to a superpower that I have ever seen.

Hebrews 12 really pumped me up:

 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Rude Boy

This is Rudy. Pretty much my best, good friend.

Since I like to call him Rude Boy, it is fun to play this and dance around him. Of course he just stares and doesn't understand what is going on...

Graduated. Went to Hawaii. Got Engaged. Nanny. Planning a Wedding. Loving Life.

Action

When September began, I had no idea what would happen in the next few months. My decisions until that point were being made and finalized, and I finally felt like I was in action.

Growing up is a weird feeling, and I never thought I would be done with college. But, I am. I am here, with a degree, done. I feel a little scared but mostly excited. I have been home watching the snow fall over and over again. Sitting in the sauna and hot tubbing multiple times a day. I really have met relaxation at it's finest. I forgot what it felt like to not have plans or the stress tension aching in my shoulders. My parent's fridge is always full with fresh fruit and veggies. I am jobless and now schooless.

It's all just one big adventure after another. 

Elliot

My first friend at UCA was Elliot. We were two of the 16 freshman in our high school, so naturally we found each other, and stuck together like glue. She was the only one who was fearless enough to be crazy with me.I know that we came across as annoying and obnoxious to the rest of our class, but we were enthusiasts! We found a place at UCA that carried on through our senior year.

Elliot and I haven't spent any time together in the last year, so seeing her last night was such a treat. We got together for dinner on a whim, and those two hours we spent together were not enough! You know there is a true friendship bond when it feels like we never left freshman year. Love you Elle!
