promised pictures!












These are just a few pictures of the weekend and such. One picture is of my work group, then briannas wedding, then boating, then smoking the hookah. I dont know why but i have not taken any pictures of the hookah yet.. but it has been one of my favortie things this summer. It helps get people together to just talk and have a good time:) SO hey you go! enjoy the pictures!

best weekend ever!!

hello!!!
This has been one of the best weekends ever!! Yesterday was my friend Brianna’s wedding, which Pam invited me to as her date. It was an outside wedding on dordt’s campus. It was small but really pretty. The funny thing was that they wanted to serve wine at the wedding because someone donated some for their present. Well, Since dordt is a dry campus they had to have the wine in the neighbor's yard which was like 20 feet away!! The reception was nice, different than a wedding that I have ever been to. There was a dance then later that night which most people left for. It would be fun to have a dance at my wedding but I don’t think anyone at my church would like that. we'll have to see about that:) Then today I was soo excited to sleep in. Then at 10 I was woke up to a call from my friend paul asking if i wanted to go boating!! so we went to the lakes which are an hour away and a bunch of us go to go water skiing and tubing! It was my first time for both of these so it took me a while to get used to it. I never really got up water skiing but each of my tries i got better and better. we were on the water for a good six hours! Then we came home and went to see me, you and depree, which is a pretty funny movie. Then we finished up the night smoking the hookah! Other than that life has been good for me. I have not loaded any pictures lately so I will load them and post sime pictures of the lake and other things. :) I hope everyone is doing well!!!

another post!





Its been much to long, so I thought it was about time that I post again! WEll, a couple weekends ago Pam, Shannon, Ashley, and I went to Des Moines to visit my parents, who where on a trip. Driving there was really scary because we got stuck in a terrible storm and could not see anything in front of us! WE had to stop a couple of times within the first 30 mins to wait the the rain to die down. Then we were really thankful went we got though the rain clouds to clear sky the rest of the way there! It was really nice to see my parents again. I am very thankful for them! My friends also loved them.. and they still try to say my name the way my dad says it with a little roll in the R.:) We were able to get out and go shopping .. something that we don't get to do much in this small town, with the nearest city being an hour away. I got to see my dad on Father's day which was also a treat! Then the next week I went to sioux falls with pam for a girls bacholrette party. it was pretty fun, I got to meet some nice people. They dressed brianna up pretty funny...:) That sunday then was the best sunday ever! WE went to church then came home to play Frisbee.. then we were hot so we decided to make a slip and side. WE taped painting tarp the the grass, poured some soap on it , then go the hose and kept it wet! It worked really well! Then the next day everyone who did it was really sore.. it was so hard to walk! Then this weekend we just have been chilling out. Yesterday we got tubes and we floated down this river for 5 hours! The water was pretty gross.. there was even a dead cow in the water!!!! It was go sickening , but it was a very good time.. something I have never ever done before! I think we are going to do it next week again! Tomorrow I have off work so we are going to the big place for the 4th of july and go camping! It will be fun, we will spend a couple of nights there. Anyways.. thats about it for now! Hope everyone is doing well!

YEE HAA!!






This weekend I had a lot of fun! It was "sioux center Days" so they had a lot of activites around town. I got to go crusing around town in a fancy car.. my friend has a really nice trans am.. so we got to show it off with all the rest of the nice cars! Then on Sat. we went to the rodeo and watched all the cowboys! It was a lot of fun. Then we all made plans to go to des moines to see my parents in two weeks. That will be really exciting and all the girls are excited to go. Some boys might even come with but we are not sure yet. It is really fun living in Iowa, but it is also hard without a car. Some of my friends and I were thinking about buying a beat up cheap $100 car.. but I don't know how that would go over.. it might break too much! :) For now we stick to our somewhat usable bikes... :) These are just some pics of the nice car i got to ride in and others of the rodeo and whatnot during the weekend!

My summer!











This has been very fun! At first I went home and saw my family and some friends for a little while. It was nice seeing my parents, sister, nephew, and brother in law. Then I came back here to Iowa where I am working and hanging out. Work has been hard, I have to do hard work and my body is not used to it. However, after this weekend camping, I am ready for the next week! This weekend we went camping at some famous lakes around here. We were able to go boating, ride paddle boats , have a camp fire, see some friends, and just had a really good time. Tomorrow we have off so we are going to the pool to tan ! Here are some pictures of this summer so far! I miss you all at home.. and I am sad I can't be there:(

a long awaited post!

Well, It has been quite a while since i have post anything on this blog so I thought i will give a quick update of my life. This week I got a job at dordt for the summer so I officially going to live here this summer. That is going to be really fun and I am excited for it. I am going to live with some of my close friends so that will make this summer even more awesome. At home during I summers I usually do not have the chance or the mean ( a car) to do anything, so just being at dordt this summer I will be able to make money and actually have friends near by.

Well its been two weeks since spring break has been over... and it was one of the most awesome times. We went to texas in my friend's parents mini van. It was such a fun time.. we were always busy doing crazy stuff... like going to tour Forth Worth, Dallas, Cow town, and many other places. We went to six flags for a day and went on some pretty scary roller coasters!! WE also ate some of the best food ever... I gained a million pounds there but it was worth it. In all, it was a really awesome break and I am so thankful for my relatives that went way out of their way for us! Now its time to plan a spring break for senior year that will top this one! that might be a little hard!!!!

School has been really busy,, just trying to keep the grades up. I am having lots of problems in microbiology. It is such a hard class and I have no motivation to try very hard in that class because I am not really interested in it! Who knows.. i hope I will get a good grade in it:S

Not much else to report.. Tonight I am going to Bob's bar in Nebraska, which is a hick bar kinda thing where the whole town ( children included) go and waste away time there. They serve very greasy food for dirt cheap.. in huge quantities. The fries or cheese stinks are piled a mile high.... the guys really go crazy here!

Anyways. Its a nice day so I am going to refrain from studying a little while to go on a walk! I hope everyone is doing well! Here are just a couple pictures of what I have been up to!

WE have had a lot of fun swimming, sitting in the sun, garage saling, hanging out with my cousins and we are planning on doing a lot more later in the week! I am so excited to be here and it is a good break from school! I hope everything is going well with everyone else!

Who am I and what did I do with myself.

Today I did a lot of thinking about my life. I realized that lent is starting next week and that I wanted to give something up for it... because it is always a good reminder to me of God and what he has done for me. So I have been planning to give up chocolate for a long time now because it is something I eat quite often and if i give it up, I will be reminded often.. so when i grab for that piece of chocolate instead of eating it, i can instead say a prayer or just be reminded of God. My friends and I are also giving up something else. but this is a much more personal thing.. Something I am going to keep to myself more or less. I just need your prayers,, I want this lent season to be a good experience for me to grow in Christ and remember what he has done for me. These past weeks have been so busy and I have been occupied with other things that I have lost my focus of God. Now I look back and see how much of my life I had just lived without God being a part of and I can tell it now.. and can see the results. My life has been falling apart in ways which it really should not be.. and I know that only by faith and trust in God I can get though the rest of this year. I have also been thankful for many thing.. some of these things being my friends here. One in particular has noticed me changing and was not afraid to come confront me and ask me what I am doing with myself. It was good for someone to point out something small, but is having a large impact on my life. I also have the best family ever. They are so caring and they want to help me in every way possible. They love me so much, even though sometimes I forget to show it back. Well I apologize for how long and probably boring this all is,, I just had to get it out while it was still on my mind. I would love your prayers this lent season for myself and everyone else who chooses something to give something up, that we may be able to pull through with it and that it may help us grow even closer to God. I love you all!

Another post.. yayyyy
WEll a lot has been going on lately... maybe not the best.. some challenging things and some good also.

WEll it has been not that bad schoolwise.. not to much to do.. but enough to keep me from causing too much trouble. I have had a couple big tests which i think I did alright on. In one week exactly is my birthday.. the big 21.. i am really excited.. it should make for a good time! I had a date this weekend.. it went good.. but i dunno. I think i am doomed in that area of my life ( not really but it just seems like it ) MY little sister just got a boyfriend so I am really excited for her .. he is a really awesome guy. My computer does not work very well any more .. it sucks. It seems like everything I have is breaking which sucks because this is the time in my life when I felt like I have barely enough to get by. No money at all, no energy, no time.. but I will get through it. :) Maybe i will get stuff I need for my birthday:) WEll I gotta go, I hope you all are having a wonderful week! love you all
