Selfishness

Yesterday I had the overwhelming understanding of my own selfishness. I have been thinking strongly about the going-ons in my life, much of which has affected and/or altered my current path and focus in life. However, the whole time I went through (the stages of dying if you will) denial – this cannot happen, no [...]

There and Back Again – The Greece Tale

From March 14-24th Bryan and I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Greece on a study abroad trip for the College of Engineering. Ten days in which we were able to see Athens, Santorini, Delphi, Nafplia, Corinth, Olympia, and Mycenae. We did a lot of sitting on a bus and plane, but were able [...]

Current thoughts on Dogs and Frodo

So now that the embarrassing two week obsession is over, I have moved on to more important things, like Frodo and the desire for a dog.
First off, I have to admit to a major fault in my character and history, I have never read Lord of the Rings, or any other Tolkien for that matter. [...]

The ending of a two-week obsession

Well, it is official, in two weeks I read all four books in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. How do I feel? Ridiculously silly actually, I never grab books up and get so absorbed that it takes me 2 weeks to just finish them so they will be out of my life. I was impressed with [...]

Haiti praise and more prayer

Praise God with me for their safe arrival, and for what they are there to do, please also pray that God affects the hearts of the [...]

The First Day!

Well, the day finally arrived, I began my first job out of school. My first day was like anyone’s first day, little doing, but lots of watching.
However, the little I did do was highly unusual. We are working with Bright Lights, a junior high camp promoting hard science fields. The camp is amazingly great and [...]

Moving and Allergies

Well, it is official, I do have another title – Recruitment Coordinator! With this comes the thrill of a new job but also a long move, (three blocks). I was told that this move is the hardest one we will make (I have to say my dear neighbors who moved to Japan had it worse) [...]

Filing and the Work of the Lord

Right now I am a temp working at the university. I work for a great office full of people who love to help students in every way possible. It will definitely be hard to leave this job, whenever that time comes. My job is random, in fact, kind of silly at times ie: cleaning out [...]

Endings

Saturday I graduated. It is an odd and crazy thought that I have graduated with a Master’s degree. For the first time in twenty years I will not begin classes in the fall. At the moment I am finding myself confused and excited for the weeks ahead. The thought of not having homework in the [...]
