Ahh, the wonders of living on our planet!

     So i have hardly any homework so you are all being treated to a picture blog this week :)  It sums up my life lately in a very good fashion.  All of these are on Facebook, but not everyone has Facebook, and I love any excuse to use a picture for anything!
     Trudi, that is so exciting about Josh and Laura!  I will definitely keep them in my prayers!
     Well, where do I begin to talk about life.  I have been so busy lately!  So many tests and papers due these past two weeks, another due on Thursday, but I am really loving College.  The opportunities to learn and to expand my horizons have been amazing!
     I have been to 2 art museums, 2 plays, and an organ concert it's been exciting!  I think one of my favorite classes is my Intro to Creative Arts class.  It's at 8:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, early but way worth it!  We went to the school play Blithe Spirit, it was a hilarious play!  The man is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife.  In the end his dead wife kills his current wife and then he is haunted by them both.  It was very well done!  They really impressed me.  It was very long though and a few people had trouble staying awake.

     My most exciting news is that I just got a new job.  I am now one of the 3 math lab managers, one of the managers is a senior, and her math research has really taken off, so she is not here all that often, and they needed someone to take her job.  Basically I handle the logistics of the math lab and help it to run smoothly.  It's an awesome opportunity and i will have the job for the next 4 years.  It pays pretty decent as well.  I will also work as a tutor next semester in the Math Lab helping with Calculus.  I am super excited about this awesome experience!  The girl I will be working with is really sweet, I think we could become good friends.

    My cousin Emelie came to visit me last weekend and we had an amazing time!  It was really great to just be able to talk to her about things.  We haven't had a chance to talk in almost a year.  So being able to be open and candid with her has made me feel such joy and relief.  She is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world!  I love her dearly!  If any of you ever come visit we need to go to the Walker Sculpture Garden, it is such a blast!

 This was at Homecoming about two weeks ago.  The church Bethel gals. I wanted to find Micah and get a picture of the 3 of us (Joey didn't go) but that would have been too much work.  It has been such a blessing having Roberta across from me.  I go and hang out in her room quite often, she has some of the most amazing roommates, they always give me candy or baked goods, I LOVE it!  I better stop eating so much junk food soon...

   So, this is my floor, or the majority of them.  This was towards the beginning of the year.  We went to an apple orchard and took a bazillion pictures! It was a great time of bonding and getting to know them all!  Last week we went to a pumpkin patch with our brother floor, that was such a blast!  We had a crazy time!
     This weekend I am going to a girl on my floors home.  Her family is having this big pumpkin carving party with friends from church so I am SUPER excited! It is going to be such a blast to be at a real home and that sort of an environment!  She is the oldest in her family with several younger siblings, the youngest is 7 or 8 I think, so it will be so much fun to play with them all!
    I love you all!  Let me know if you have any prayer requests at all!

Love for one and all!
