friends :)

so we have kate, me, dawnell, and lydia. they are both from pennsylvania.

i actually sit by lydia in class and that is how i met her. she is also on my ministry team, which is SO nice too! so we will be going to new york city together when we do open air evangelism. last night we went to the lounge and tried to put a princess puzzle together. but we gave up and decided to give each other a tour of our dorms.  they live in england which is right across from us. they have a really nice dorm cause it was just re-modeled. anyways, here is just one picture. there will be much more to come :)

surprise :)

so today i went to check my mail just like any other day. and to my surprise i got something in the mail :) i was so excited! it was from my auntie ree and uncle kevin, and sara.. they backed me cookies, which were REALLY appreciated and so did my room mates (i ate like 3 in a row) :) and a dog grow a pet, which is really cute.. i have a little friend to keep me company.. and he kinda reminds me of jack :) i just wanted to tell you guys thank you SOO much!! it is nice to get things in the mail from home! i miss all of you and can't wait to see you when i get home!

my lovely bathroom.

there are four showers.. and the best time to get up and take a shower is like 6 or 6:30

these are kinda obvious :)

the bathroom :)

the sink (it gets nasty sometimes) haha

and what the shower looks like

so this is pretty much the whole bathroom. next, i will take pictures around the campus to show you what it looks like :)

finally here.

so i am finally in new york. and i just got my internet working :) it is so nice to have it back! anyways.. so i know you probably want to know how i am liking new york... i actually like it a lot. i mean it is going to take some getting used to and school hasn't actually started yet... but as of now it is fun. there are a lot of nice people here. there are about 500 in my graduating class i think. yesterday i just registered, got my address (if you want to know it, ask me :) and then we had some orientation thing. and today we had speakers in the morning, and then free time during the day which i used to buy all my books for the year. after that we had dinner and then went to listen to more speakers. i miss home a lot but i also know that i will grow, and learn a lot this year. i am so excited to see what God is going to do in my life, and to see the ways He changes me.  Here are some of the few pics i took: 

some oldies.

i was going through some old pics and wanted to share them :) i will cherish all these memories forever. :)

One Week

A week from tomorrow I will be on a plane leaving for New York. It hasn't really sunk in that I am leaving until now. Most of my stuff is shipped and probably there waiting for me. (I am afraid I packed too many clothes but oh well) I am really excited about what God is going to do in my life this year. I know He has a purpose and a plan for my life, greater than I could ever imagine. Looking back I never thought I would be moving across the country right after High School but God's plans are always different than our own. :)

Sorry this blog doesn't really flow well. I am still trying to get my brain working again from a lazy summer :) Oh and I would post pictures but I don't have anything interesting yet.
