i woke up earlier this morning @ 7 an i'm trying to get back into being the morning person i was. i miss being awake by myself so early and right now i'm the only one downstairs. it's pretty sweet.
a lot has been going on in my life and i have been trying to sort out the crazy whirl wind that is Aaron and I. it's really hard trying to figure every thing out when you life in a fish bowl crammed with 60 other fish. we're still not sure what God has for us after this semester both individually and toegether. there is a lot on our plates here though so we really can't worry about what will be after the semster.
this weekend in the rome trip, and while i understand why some people backed out, i'm a little miffed still. but the trip is going to be brilliant. we finally hammered out the final details and are pretty much ready to go. it is good.
then two weeks later lauren, aaron and i will be in Portugal with our out reach team. it's gonna be sweet.
i know this isn't the greatest blog ever but, it's a start, and i kow how much ou guys crave information.

ok ok time for a blog
so i have yet to write anything since i have arrived and I'm sorry but I'm getting with it.
and PS if you're looking for more pics you need to go to h or ls paged, cause the dino is taking far too long to load stuff up so it will take a while.
moving on.
so England started out rough and has gotten way better there are soo many things that have happened that were hysterical and others that have be rather irksome to say the least. we have been working on getting our focus back on God instead of forcing him to take a back seat while we attempt to drive this crazy contraption of life. today we did it and it went so smoothly. we love being in bath and canterbury was great, there were even some good things about london. thank you God for wathcing over us and leading us along even when we thought we had it under control.

1 Day
This is the last day here then off to England!!
"I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!" one moment I’m jumping around the living room soo excited then I’m crying again. I can't make it stop I need Jesus to calm my heart; this roller coaster of emotions is too much for my poor heart to handle. How is it possible for your heart to be pumping so hard with joy and excitement, while being torn in two from missing what you have yet to leave? How can I know the amazing journey God is sending us on and the fact that we will be returning yet still have trepidation and fear? If you're reading this and thinking I don't want to go, or that I am regretting this trip make no mistake; I want to go, and further more I must go to where God is calling me.
Please Pray for a Calm about me that would ease this stormy sea of emotions in side my gut
it looks something like this:
Really Sad and Crying
This is Crazy why am i feeling this way
Then Super Stoked for the trip
*this has been a dramatic re-enactment
