Being done school is the highlight of my life right now! I am seriously so happy this semester is over!As of right now my plans are to take off from school till further notice. This semester was just like insanity- between the three online classes, Tuesday night class, driving to Coatesville on Thursdays, Sr. High ministry, College and Career, church, the friends that...
I was just reading in my history textbook about the reconstruction period in America..."In 1856, John Rapier, a free black barber in Florence, Alabama, urged his freeborn sons to flee the increasingly repressive and dangerous South. Searching for a color-blind society..."- I literally thought that they were looking for a society where people were only color-blind, as in, could not see colors correctly...I...
So I've never really used that "next blog" button at the top of Blogger to check out other blogs- I mean, every blog I read is stimulating enough, but since it's 12:06 at night and I have a paper to write, it would make perfect sense that since no one has updated their blog in the last hour I'm going to have to...

So I've had an insane week including house guests and tons of homework that didn't get done and missing school books and fun times with friends and picnics and football games and fall and hospital visits and needing to get a new license and turning 21 and going to Coatesville and drinking Bubble tea and car accidents literally the day after my car...
I saw Emilee Grace off on the bus today for her very first day of kindergarten. Of course, she's been going to school since she was born so this isn't as exciting as it would be- but it is her first day on the bus. I took pics and texted them to my mom. I blew kisses to Jeremiah as his friends picked...
I live with my 79 year old grandmother. She has dementia. Things have been okay so far, except for one reoccurring problem. You see, we share a bathroom and on multiple occasions I've gone to brush my teeth and she has used my toothbrush. The thing is- I am already hiding my toothbrush in a drawer and have given her like three other...

12:11:00 AM I had better write this post for posterity's sake before I forget every amazing thing God did that week because I'm already forgetting the better half of it. So, literally, I ran to my devotion spot on Monday morning with my green micro-fleece blanket, mug of coffee, Bible and journal my friend Becky brought me back from Italy. Now, you need to understand,...
Since I really don't have time to update about Coatesville yet I figure while you are all waiting for the amazing post I have yet to write I will leave you with some of the verses that were a theme for me this week.... First off- our theme verse for the kids was Psalm 100:3,5- "Know that the Lord, He is God. It...

I think my dear friend Julianne may be hinting for me to update while she's away in Idaho...or Montana now I guess- and so for her sake alone shall I update about my very very exciting life... So the Germans relatives came back about four weeks ago now for a three weeks visit. a few days before they arrive- gmom looks horrible and...
I indulged in them today. I know. I know. I should have listened to AT LEAST 3 of my classes so I can catch up now that my laptop cord is fixed...but. I mean. I listened to one! And there were just so many many wonderful recipes calling my name! Like this one and this one...oh and this one...goodness! That's only a few...

Well, i figure i should update since it's been forever since my last one... I've been waiting and waiting for spring and it goes from freezing cold to 90 degrees here in like a day...yikes! So we've had a heat wave here in Philly since Saturday and it's going into tomorrow. My family took this very heat wave to decide to redo the...
This morning my grandmom decided to put the coffee on because I was taking my jolly good time to get out of bed. I had good reason since I'd gotten up at 5:30 the morning before trying to drag the two of us to the airport in an attempt to make our 8:30 flight home. I rolled out of bed around the time...

I went on the jr high retreat this weekend. It was lovely- well, other than jr high boys who don't wear deodorant and the girl's who love them...but overall I was truly blessed. I hope the kid's got as much out of it as I did. We had a guest musician named Quimi who was such an encouragement in just her whole personality and...
Todays' to do list: 1. Go to Target and pick up pain pills for arthritis pain 2. Get a facial wax 3. Get a fitting for dentures 4. Go to Genuardis and buy food with coupons 5. Clean house 6. Knit I think number six is my goal of the day- the others are my grandmoms. Making lists of goals always reminds me...
All right, I figure I should let you all in on some of the wierdest of wierd things lately. So here's a list of some of the strange things she's done or said lately. 1. Her arthritis in her arm has been hurting lately and so we've been putting a heating pad on her arm. Last night I picked up the heating pad,...
We used to use this word to describe my little brother Jesse...trickster. I've concluded my grandmom is faking this whole insanity thing. It's really scheme to just not have to cook and clean anymore for the rest of her life. She just saw her unmade bed and was all like "oh- didn't you sleep in here? you didn't make your bed." And I...
Today my brother hawked a lougie in my hair and i threw up. I'm glad that that one sentence doesn't sum up my day because it truly was a lovely day other than that. My friend Ruth came over and she taught me how to spin wool into yarn. Soon we will teach ourselves to dye our own yarn! this is the spindle...
Hmmm...2008. I guess I never in a million years would have thought of planning last year for myself.But God knows better.Because you know what, His plans aren't my plans, and His thoughts aren't my thoughts.Isaiah 55 (let me give a shout out to Women's D Fall 07! what what!) I love those verses in Isaiah 55. For all the laughs I had about...
