I'm a horrible blogger...

...it's been since mid April since I've last blogged. Internets, I is sorry. I can haz forgives?

Wow, since April. So, to try to recap & not bore you all:

Final Exams/Papers--went okay, I still dislike writing greatly.

Grades: 5As, 2 Bs. I'm happy. :-D <---- See? That's a big happy face! (Minus the teeth, little creepy)

Since school let out, I've spent the summer working on Kids Camp stuff and working in the library at school. I love working in there. Mrs. Celelli and I moved about 13,000 books from the old library to a classroom while the new library was being built. Tomorrow we move them from the classroom to the new library. I'm excited. The library looks fantastic! Thanks to the Texas Baptist Men for making it look oh-so-awesome.

Kids Camp was SOOO much fun--definitely the BEST kids camp I've been to so far! I have a video that I'll try to post. :-)

Other than that, I've been house sitting since the beginning of June for different people and will be house sitting (or at camp) for another 3-4 weeks... :-)

I'll try to be better, internets, at blogging, but, as you know, I is not goods at the blogs. :-(

Grades!

Well, another semester gone by...
Foundations for Cross Cultural Ministry- B
Philosophy- C
Supervised Ministry- A
Physics- B
Physics Lab- B
World Literature- B

Not sure why my Physics Lab is a B...unless it's because I broke several labs...he would put them together & I'd touch them & they would fall apart- OOPS. :)

I am SO thankful for the C in Philosophy! I was REALLY worried about it...tried to drop it in the middle of the semester, but they wouldn't let me. Had I dropped it, it would've meant I would've had more time to study for all my 'B' classes, possibly turning those to A classes...but also, it would've postponed graduation for yet another semester.

It's SUMMER!

SUMMER

it's officially here, yes it is! And how did I spend my first day of summer, you ask?

• Got up at 515 am.
• ran 3 miles.
• Went home & showered & took a nap.
• Got up at 1030.
• Went and delivered 465 magazines to nursing homes, a couple of adult day cares and Ronald McDonald House.
• Ate Chinese food and Marble Slab!!!
• Had a Girl Scout Meeting
• Watched Megan J. dance for a bit
• Had parenting class at church (we're having baby dedication this Sunday)
• Went to the gym with Megan R.
  
• went 1.7miles on the eliptical and did some ab machines
• came home & now I'm gonna watch tv on abc.com & the cw.com
• and then I'm going to bed...
• and not getting up until I wake up.

Yay for summer!

4 days

I am 4 days away from Summer! THANK GOD!

Summer-itis

I have summer-itis SOOO badly right now. I CAN'T WAIT for summer to be here! I need a break. And, this summer, I'll be getting one!! Several, actually.
In June, I'm supposed to go to Schlitterbahn with my life group for a weekend
I'm going to Ohio for 10 days!
In July, KIDS CAMP!
and then, in August, I'm going on a CRUISE! I am SO stinkin' excited....the BEST part about it is my entire family is going!
Mom
Bill
Kasey
Me
Grandpa
Aunt Maggie
Aunt Barb
Megan
Tori
Amanda
Uncle John (?--maybe?)

11 of us. Unfortunately, they told me now instead of after finals, so all I want to do is research shore excursions (I really want to do something underwater or a zip lining/para sailing one) and cheapest cruise prices!

Yay for fun times!!!

Cruise???

When my grandma passed away last month, my grandpa talked about how much he would like to go on a cruise as a family. At the time, I thought it would be fun, but didn't really think it would happen.

I got home from class tonight & my mom told me to check my summer schedule and give me a list of available dates that I could go on a cruise because Grandpa had called and DOES want to go on a cruise this summer! I'm super excited....how cool will that be???

hmm...I need to get a passport. I don't even know where to begin on that one...

updates all around...

So, I haven't been to good at keeping this all updated. I've been really busy.

I'm babysitting 4 mornings a week 9am to 1 pm, every other Tuesday night, and every Friday night. PLUS other babysitting jobs. But, it seems like I'm just getting broker & broker. Maybe because I have a car payment now. Boo. (But, I do LOVE my car; it's great).

I've been swimming a lot & I am having a blast---it would be great to have a pool @ my house...

My parent's left this morning to go to Alaska for 15 days. (party @ my place--lol... j/k)

I am excited about going to Arkansas next month. I really miss Caleb, Jacoby, Easton, Kasey, and Zach.

I am also excited that Juillet will be joining me for part of the ride up there (I'll be dropping her in Dallas to visit her friend, Paula).

I am feeling very antsy lately- like something big and exciting is about to happen in my life (other than going to Arkansas) & so I've been really happy lately.

I took down the 32 (4X6) pictures hanging on my wall (of kids I babysit for), and I've started making a scrapbook. I think it'll take forever, since I'll always be adding new kiddos to the mix.

My 17 year old cousin needs your prayers--all I can say on here is that he's making some pretty stupid choices, that will probably end up killing him.

I haven't done much running since Beach to Bay (I ran this past Thursday morning, and only like 1.7 miles). But, I've been having a big time itch to run.

Jared & Heather got married last Saturday (06/07/08) & their wedding was beautiful. I pray that God gives them a wonderful marriage.

Kasey (step-sister) came to visit this last week, and we actually got along. She came with me to babysit for the Taylor's life group Sunday night, then she, mom, and I went swimming on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (at Audie's). She helped me babysit again on Thursday night while Erin had a jewelry party. Then Friday we ran errands, went to Chuck E. Cheese's to meet some of my friends. Then we went to the base pool with Jenny McD & hung out there.

Friday night, we had Family Pictures taken by the oh so wonderful Jade (she's so awesome!).




Okay, well, I am exhausted from staying up till 1 am this morning, then getting up at 5.

Summer Plans

I am really looking forward to relaxing over the next few weeks before I start babysitting all the time again. I will hopefully get the chance to go up to Austin to see my cousin Missy and her (soon to born) baby boy, Lleyton. That'll be fun!

I would really like to make it up to Arkansas again. I'm going through some major Jacoby withdrawal.

I also want to continue running. I started running again yesterday & it's been fun, but I'm in lots of pain & Beach to Bay is next stinkin' week already.

I'd also like to go to some concerts & Hooks games & whatever else.

I hope this is a super fun summer. :)

Summer Job

So, my parents want me to get a part time summer job in order to bring in more money for a (possible) car payment, if I were to ever get a new car. Not really sure what I would do...

So, I was thinking. (Scary, right).
Say I want to make $150 a week. If I don't count weekends (so just m-f) thats $30 a day. So, if I can get 5 families to pay $30 a morning to have me come watch their kids, I could make $150 a week, or $600 a month! WOW!
So, I've already got 2 familes that have asked me to sit on a weekly basis throughout the summer. Would anyone else?

So I'm thinking 9am to 1pm. Monday-Friday. $30 a day (up to 3 kids). And if you don't have 3 kids, you can combine with someone if you don't want to pay the whole $30.
Anybody game?
