I want

I have been thinking of what I want out of life, or what I want to see happen in the next couple years and have been coming up with a list…it may seem greedy or selfish of me, but could be amusing nonetheless.

• I want to push myself to my limits
• I want to graduate from Washington State University on May 8th, 2010
• I want to get an Australian Cattle Dog and name her Raleigh
• I want to breed my rabbit and have her not eat her babies
• I want my horse to be trained and not such a brat all the time. She is my bipolar redhead though and I love her for it.
• I want to spend a ton of my time at Lakeside Bible Camp next summer (and the ones after) serving the Lord!
• I want him to call me and share his story. I want this the most at times. I want this friendship back.
• I want everyone to know the Lord and appreciate his LOVE and LOVE with all their hearts back.
• I want to get my Certified Nursing Assistant degree and work at a hospital part-time
• I want to go to Africa and Scotland
• I want to date an amazing guy. One who will go with me to Seahawks and Sounder games, Seattle during Christmas time, dog beach, hiking, camping and road trips, ferry rides and fg games, Dick’s for late night burgers and shakes, movies at the Crest, and Mars Hill Church.
• I want to start a fg, Mars Hill Church, Dick’s Sunday tradition over the summer
• I eventually want 5 dogs…but not until I have a house of my own with a guy to help me take care of them
• I want to go to nursing school and study at Starbucks late at night.
• I want to wake up and drink tea and read my Bible
• I want to keep all of my college and childhood friends
• I want to buy a ton of music and someday buy a cute dress from Anthropologie
• I want to hike around the base of Mt. Rainer
• I want to have a library in my house with over stuffed couches, deep red walls and a fireplace
• I want to live my life for God, because without him I am nothing.

 

• I NEED to go study for my exam.

Well Said

I understand boys (or men who can shave) living with their parents for a couple years to be able to save money in order to afford and build their future before they continue with their education, date, marry and have children, but other than that well said Mark. My friend and I constantly talk about this subject and how we feel we are just waiting on boys to mature. I can’t stand 99% of the guys here at WSU because yes, they think getting drunk is awesome and skipping class from hangovers make great stories. Please, grow up already!!! People wonder why I don’t have a boyfriend…. I need my tall, fit, bearded, outdoorsy, animal lover, kind man who is in LOVE with Jesus to come along. And until he does, I am pretty content with life right now and will continue to serve and love the Lord with all that I am.

CLASS UPDATE:
I am able to take Meat Science at the University of Idaho next semester it turns out so now I can take Human Anatomy and don’t have to take Animal Growth and Development anymore!!! This is very good news as if I couldn’t take Human Anatomy, Shoreline does not offer it until Spring quarter and I have to wait until after I take it to apply to nursing school. And I got signed up for taking 3 more credits this year for my internship meaning I have 18 credits this semester and 16 next semester and will be graduating with a total of 137 credits (you only need 122 to graduate). I can’t wait to be done.

Telekinesis

 

I saw lightning
Coming from the street
You were trembling
Hearing your heart beat
Lean in closer
Let me kiss you on the cheek
Singin’ to you softly
Singin’ to you sweet

I wanna care for you when you are all alone
Sit inside our house and unplug all our phones
Watchin raindrops stream down on our windowsill
Let’s be in love

Take a walk
Take me in your hands
Hear the wind blow
Pretend we’re in Japan
I saw lightning
Coming from the street
You reached out and
It didn’t startle me

I wanna care for you when you are all alone
Sit inside our house and unplug all our phones
Watchin raindrops stream down on our windowsill
Let’’s be in love

Thank you Leslie, I do love the song!!

This weekend calls for:

• Work, work, work! Both Saturday and Sunday….
• Some camp friends are coming to WSU tomorrow so I may meet up with them at some point! YAY I LOVE camp and camp friends!!
• Study, study, study…and homework. I have a TON of things to do this weekend as far as school work goes. But only 2 weeks until Thanksgiving break and after that 2 weeks of school then finals!! Wow, this semester went by super fast!
• And of course church on Sunday!!!

I haven’t been this happy and content with life in forever!! I have been so incredibly happy with where I am right now, what God is doing in my life and my friend’s lives and have been so blessed and thankful for everything!! “His love is AMAZING, steady and UNCHANGING!”

Journal

I started a journal almost a year ago from today…Mostly it consists of my thoughts, prayers and letters to people telling them what I think and feel just to have the satisfaction of getting it down on paper. I haven’t kept up with it much, lately with working 20+ hours a week with animals I have plenty of thinking time and continuously have conversations in my head of what I would say to people if ever given the chance. Anyways, I was reading through it and came across an entry from one of the best weeks of the year; spring break!!

8am 3/18/2009

Yesterday was AMAZING! We went to work and hung out there for two hours – playing games and sword fighting with refrigerator cleaners.  Then we came home and made burgers. Yum! Today we are going to some mountain and are going to smoke cigars during his break at school.  I am going to miss it here. It’s like I still have a schedule of work and school, but I don’t actually have to do anything but enjoy a friendship.

It just made me laugh for some reason. Oh, to smoke cigars and play a sword fighting game in the middle of  an appliances store with refrigerator cleaners. We were pretty awesome.

 

“I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Galations 2:20

It’s Official

So it looks like I am not able to take most of the classes I wanted to take next semester…including (human anatomy)…

Next semester you will find me:

• Preparing for nursing in Introductory Microbiology
• Continuing my dairy studies in Advanced Dairy Management
• Expanding my muscle growth knowledge in Animal Growth and Development
• Getting another pre-req for nursing out of the way in Nutrition for Life
• And…learning how to properly feed cows in Ruminant Nutrition

Woohoo. If it were my choice, this would not be my schedule….but I must graduate before I focus on nursing classes. My advisor was pretty awesome though and said to the lady in the office, “Here is one of our smartest seniors and she is leaving us for humans!” Yep. With humans I can share God’s love and who doesn’t want many great opportunities to share this?!

For my first quarter at community college it looks like I will be taking Anatomy, Physiology, and Lifespan Development…

Hello Seattle

Well this weekend was AMAZING!!! And right now I am jamming to MJ in my room, so it must be a start to a good week!

Weekend in review:

Friday – Thai Bistro for dinner….sleep.

Saturday – Frisbee golf in Snohomish and Lake Stevens, bought a blanket for my horse in Monroe, studied at Third Place Books and took photo booth pictures, practiced thriller at my house, went to Paseo’s for yummy sandwiches, Gas Works Park (I performed thriller there), went and walked around UW and U-Village, played frisbee in the Crest parking lot, saw “500 Days of Summer,” then went to Dick’s…yum!!!

Sunday - Drove back to Pullman with a stop in Roslyn, mowed my grass and raked my leaves, then walked to the theatre and saw “This Is It.” I think Kari and I were the biggest MJ fans in there (and we aren’t even that big of fans)….haha. We were dancing in our seats and singing to all the lyrics we knew…yay!

Thriller at Gas WorksI LOVE SeattleAmazing weekend!!This one took us awhile and it still isn’t perfect.Fall at UW.

Things to do:

Today was such a good day. I can’t explain it because nothing exciting happened, but the wind blew perfectly, the pumpkins sat stoutly, the rain fell heavily and the leaves twirled endlessly. I was in love with today, God made it so perfect!

Anyways I am SO excited for Many MANY things…

• Kari and I have decided to learn the Thriller dance. I was inspired and Kari is amazing and agreed to learn it with me
• Seattle this weekend!! Family, FG, studying at Third Place Books, ”This Is It” or a different movie at the Crest, Dicks burgers and fries, the water and mountains…wish I had time on Sunday to go to Mars Hill
• The new Trans-Siberian Orchestra cd comes out tomorrow!!
• I get to see my old roommate on Thursday and she is burning me an Owl City cd!! ( I miss her so much!)
• Weekend road trips the next two months – cabin and Leavenworth, Seattle, a possible visit to my old boss?
• Performing the Thriller dance for Kari’s parents at Thanksgiving…haha
• Christmas!!  (in Pullman)
• Graduation and dog!

Well I have a muscle physiology exam that I NEED to study for. Thanks for reading , love you all.

Flannel

I LOVE my green flannel shirt from Vallue Village.

Prayer

My roommate Chloe says I just need to eat more fiber and Leslie says I just need to drink more water. Whatever it may be, pray that I don’t have colon cancer… I am not in any pain, except for my pounding headache at the moment, but will find out Monday what it may be. God is an amazing healer, whatever the diagnosis.

Tomorrow will be spent in Moses Lake touring three different dairies for my dairy management class. Sunday calls for church, riding my horse and studying a ton!! It has been raining all day here and I love it!!! Time for bed.

Faith

It is not something you can just test. You can’t just dip your toe in to see if you like the feeling it brings.  You must jump in, full heartily. With your mind, body and soul you must make the choice to decide. Make that choice and jump in with all you’ve got, because after all it is the only life you have here on Earth. You are not given a second chance but are given the choice of a second life. Far better than one can imagine and greater than this one you are experiencing. You question it, only because it is indescribable and so mysterious. You may have doubts, but I suppose those come with all things in life, especially relationships and life long decisions. It is the best choice you can make for yourself though and you must not keep it from anyone. The word of God is to be shared among everyone. For some, faith comes easy, for others it is a life long struggle. I see the works of the Lord through nature and experience Him when the sun rises, when the snow falls and when the leaves begin to change color. Faith isn’t having a tattoo of a bible verse on you, it is not going to church every Sunday or raising your hands high when you worship the Lord, it is knowing with all your heart that there is a God and you will LOVE Him and TRUST in Him no matter what challenges life brings. It is KNOWING that Jesus died on the cross for YOU so that your sins can be forgiven and you can live eternally with Him!! Faith in the Lord is a decision that you make and a lifestyle you want to attempt to live in order to win the greatest prize ever offered to you. No one ever said it was going to be easy, so just take the leap and jump in!

 

 

Happy Birthday Dad!! Love you!!
