You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty. At work and school, you do best when you're researching. When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often. In friendship, you are considerate and compromising. Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking. You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

The Birth Order Predictor

Memory Lane: Part II: Mexico Missions

This Blog entry is dedicated to the Mexico Missions trip I went on Summer 2004! It was amazing and a lot of my favorite pictures are from this trip, hope I don't bore you too much.

This picture was taken near the end of the trip, it was one of the last places we visited. Everywhere we went we would do a crusifiction skit along with a vacation bible school for the kids, this particular time it was pouring down rain right before, but once it came time to do the crusifiction and resurection the sun came out and rainbow appeared. It was a perfect moment.

After a long flight- ha how cute. :o)
Oh Roger!This is in the airport before we came home.>He looks a little worn out.
Bill has Hair!! This is Bill being a clown for the kids during our bible school.
This is one of my most treasured pictures. We went to a very discrete myian village, This littler girl that we are all praying for was very sick. Her mother asked Dr. Roger to look at her since the closest medical attention was an hour away. He came to the conlusion that she had some type of serious-respitory infection- she had white fingertips because there was poor circulation and she was coughing, It was the saddess thing I have ever seen. Her mother could not afford to pay $10.00!!! to the nearest hospital for medical attetion. This litter 3 year old was also 1 of like 7 kids.
Umm... well if you know me I DO NOT LIKE BIRDS. Im terrified- Lets just say I had a very Bad experience.

Well I hope you enjoy my pictures, they bring back great memories that I will always remember and keep in my heart. This trip was life changing and God really work in my life, when I look at these pictures It reminds me of how bless I am and how gratefull I am for my family and friends. I Love you guys! :o)

Memory Lane: Part I

Yes, This is a copy off of Hannah's Blog But I have some great pics that I want to post. So here ya go.


This is my sophmore year prom in Oklahoma with Ben. (his Jr. Year) It was soo much fun, In this picture we look so "little" :o) If you look Ben still has his braces...hahaha



This is on the Chicago Missions Trip 2003. This picture was taken on our night off in the subway, exploring the streets of Chicago.



Ha, This picture isn't the greatest But it brings back a great memory. This is in Paris, France. Laura Colby (taking the picture) and I got hit on by these french boys, only one of them could speak some English. They might not be the most "gorgeous" boys but they were nice and had a FRENCH accent!



These next two pictures are from Mexico Missions Trip 2004. Isnt this adorable?! This little boy is actually in his dads food basket on his bike, too cute.


This is one of my favorite pictures from Mexico. (Notice the sunburn?) But this little boy just broke my heart. Can you guess how old he is? Well he has a disease that causes him to not grow regularly. I made him the happiest boy in the world with a few crayons and a sheet of paper. I dont remember his name but I keep a picture of him in my bible to remind me.

Well there you go. Hope you enjoy the pictures! PS: Can you guess how old the little Boy is? PSS: MOM you cant guess!!!

Lazy Saturdays

My oh my. What a day sooo far..there is snow everywhere! Im kinda trapped in my little tiny room. I got up at 9:30. cheaked my mail.ate breakfast. went back to sleep. got up at 11:30- only because my room mate had people in my room! checked mail again. Then I went to checked my mailbox. started a project..on the computer again. and i have no idea whats gonna happen this afternoon or later tonight. prolly more laziness. But I do have something special- when i checked my mail I got a letter from my cousin (pen pal from Wartburg) She inserted a special surprise for me. I want to share it- so please visit here and then smile.

Family

Over break I had a lot of fun being with my family. It seems like when I am at college I miss them sooo much but then when I get home they annoy me to death. :o) For New Years, since there was no church stuff going on, we made our own Family New Years trip at Mall of America. On christmas, us girls got a basket with New Years party stuff and a card, each with 100 bucks to spend. It was fun, we went swimming and shopping and stayed up late playing poker. My dad taught EMILY pretty well...she almost beats him everytime. I think that the coolest thing we did though was just spending time together. After we counted down and watched the ball drop we had a bible study and just spent time as a family.

Being here at college I miss those moments, but I cherish them even more now. I love my family so much and miss them a lot. But I think that being here God has really showed me a lot and is continuing to teach me things. Even though sometimes I just want to give up and come home, I know that God wants me to finish what I have started and to continue to seek him.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD...

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you...

Roy Rogers!!

I dont have much new to say today but I did get a new roomie.. he's a cowboy! he keeps me company and takes me back to oklahoma when Ben's not around. heres pics!

Long time..

Yeah I know its been awhile since i have last blog. But i really like to blog I just seem to not be able to keep up all the time. Well hopefully now i will be better at it since i have a computer in my room. So There is no excuse. Tonight I have an interview for a job at Hickory Park! its an awesome cheap good food resturant only in Ames. Hopefully it will go good-I ultimatly would like to work at the day care center though. We'll see thought a job would be nice to have right now though- gives me a little money and keeps me busy.

This last weekend I was in the Madrigal diner with the Iowa State SIngers. It was Great! On sat. night we had people there who where totally decked out in costume and actually did that for a living.(go to madrigals in costume) they gave you chocolate coins too... but here are some pics.
