overwhelmed.

i had a great spring break. 

really, it was a good one. 

i got to hang out with some friends i rarely see, relax, watch lots of tv, sleep in my bed at home, play with my dog, you know, good stuff.

and then i got to go camping with this great group of people (plus paul, who is taking the picture):
we went camping at silverwood lake from thursday till sunday. and honestly i was a little worried. i just felt like four days was a little much. 

but it was not. i had so much fun. we just hang out by the lake, played games, napped, hiked around, made movies, and other fun things. 

i got sun burnt, but i also got some new friends and a million inside jokes. 

but my week has been so busy. 

i have been spending so much time in the gdm lab just working on different projects and stuff. im actually here right now. just taking a break from class and squeezing in a quick blog.

im peeling and my lips hurt because they are super chapped. 

seriously?

i am stinking blessed to know some awesome people who are doing some awesome things for the glory of God this summer:
cindy-south asia
jillian- north africa
janai and micha- argintina
bryce and becca- south east asia
drew- central asia, utha, and some other random place for 2 years!?!?!
emily and hailey- gabon
kimie and kent (who need a blog)- czech republic
(im so sorry if i forgot anyone)

and then there are these three guys who are going to kayak the missippi river.
you should probably check out their blog.

and then there are these three other guys who are going to live on skid row for a week.
you should probably also check out their journey.

today in my youth ministry class i told the class that blogging was biblical.
(thanks holly for the wisdom) this is how i figure: journaling is biblical (psalms is essentially a journal) and a blog is simply a web journal.
:]

midnight maddness

its homecoming week!

whatever that means.


midnight maddness was advertized as the kick off of our basketball season. the first 400 students would get free coldstone and everyone had to wear their crazies shirt.

everyone got a nice blue towel or a "lancer linen."
and i actually had lots of fun.
some freshman on the team had beautiful corbin bleu hair that was shaved completly off.


the night ended with a slam dunk competition.



im pretty excited about basketball season.
