Rose Garden Mischief

On Sunday nights, I cut roses from Rose Garden for my apartment.
I don't think I'm supposed to do that.
It gives me great satisfaction and joy.
Sometimes Erin comes with me. Its what we do.
Live your life.

3 things i did this weekend

#1 - Card making. I love crafting and card-making, i just don't get to do it as often as i would like to. I made a ridiculous amount of cards this weekend to include in the silent auction for Night of Nations for ISP (International Service Projects). One of each of these will be included in a package.
#2 - Hershey, my unexpected companion this week. I have a new found love for dogs...its weird.
#3 - Sugar cookie extravaganza with mom, we made a ridiculous amount of sugar cookies for our neighbors and friends to celebrate Easter.

#3- Sunrise service with Katelynn. We literally rolled out of bed at 5am to attend the Easter sunrise service at the beach. It was such a blessing to worship outside, celebrate Easter with fellow believers, and enjoy time with a dear friend of mine. After the service we got breakfast on the pier!


P.S. apparently i wore that red sweatshirt alot this weekend, slightly embarrassing :)

some friends

i found this picture on my computer today...it was a rainy day in the caf when we took this. it goes: Kelsie, Julie & me. i love these girls.

Weekend @ Home

Got to spend the weekend in beautiful Huntington Beach! I was really excited to spend a lot of time with my little brother, Greyson. He is 17 now, but im pretty sure he looks older (at least some Indian people think so...). It's weird and wonderful to watch my brother grow up and see him experience change, growth, celebration, heart break, hard decision making...etc. Im proud of who he is and who he is growing in to.

Therapeutic Things

Recently I have discovered some therapeutic things to help me through the grief process...and life, or whatever:

1. reading: specifically classics and books that are full of grief and hope at the same time.

2. driving: specifically at night and through the use of cruise control, which i have never used before this season of my life. I also used to never be able to stay awake at night while driving.
now i cant sleep.

3. cleaning: specifically at ridiculous hours of the morning...

There are more things, but that's all for now.

GS2 2009

GS2 2009 baby. This summer I will be leading my first trip overseas. A partner and I will be leading a group of high school students to western Europe. These are my fellow team leaders, an awesome group of individuals, if i do say so myself. Though I am nervous to be leading my first trip, I know it will be an awesome experience. Please keep this group (and our future students) in your prayers. Also, if anyone knows of any legit juniors or seniors in high school that would like to come to Western Europe for 2 weeks this june, tell them to check out http://www.calbaptist.edu/isp/GS2/.
