so long Kansas, I am going to Texas the summer!


Well, I completely forgot to blog after I recieved some exciting news about this summer and that is that I got the internship that I applied for in Dallas, Texas!!!!!!! :) The internship is Project Transformation, and I get the opportunity to work with under privillege kids, I am looking forward to this experience. The cool thing is I won't be the only one from my college that will be there, my friends Molly, Kyle, Meeka, Michelle, and hopefully Jessica will be there too, so that should be fun. I am also stoked about meeting new people, I love making friends, because the ones that matter the most you remember for a life time, and I feel like some of the ones that I will meet this summer will be memorable for the rest of my life :)! I've probably said this about a million times, but I am looking forward to this internship because, I need a summer away from home for a while. I love home don't get me wrong, but it'll be nice to get away even longer. After graduation I will have three lovely weeks at home and that'll be nice enough, but then I'll be on my new journey of life to this internship and a hopefully a job somewhere. I am really excited to see what God has in store for me this summer, I hope he opens my eyes to brand new things and shows me things along the way. Don't you worry I hope to be blogging about it this summer, so you all will be updated to all who reads this :)!

On another note: Tuesday, made the mark of there only being 3 more months left of school--CRRRAZY! I can't believe how fast this last semester is going, it always makes me feel so sad. I got so much to get done before graduation, so I better start using my time wisely, because in a blink of an eye it'll be May. I feel like I have no motivation at times to get anything done, but I plan on fixing that and using my time wisely. I also need to enjoy college while I can and make lots and lots of memories too :). I love this place so much and the people here. I have sooo many great friends that I would not trade for the world. They all know who they are. My family is also the best too, they are a great support system :)!

Well, that shall be good for now, I will update you all soon when it's time for a new one. Thanks for listening to me again and take care until next time :)!

WOW!!!!!!!

Wow, it seems like a very long time, since I have written a blog on here. A lot has happened in that time. Well, let’s see for starters I am a senior at SC! That is something I cannot believe. It seems like just yesterday it was my freshman year. My college years have just flown right on past me, crazy right. Also I am no longer an education major for those of you that did not know. I am currently or have been for a quite some time I am a general studies major. My dream has always been to work with kids; I am never giving up on that dream. I love working with kids, it is just an indescribable feeling when I work with them. Currently, I am helping Miss. Christy Rude out at the First Assembly of God Church with Children’s church and we usually have the same five every week. What makes it unique is that there are two different families and siblings that attend. There is a pretty interesting and funny group; we have a good time with them so that helps the Sundays go good. This coming summer, I really hope to do this internship that most people from SC have done. I finally have a free summer that I can actually do it. It’s called Project Transformation and located in Dallas, Texas. I have my phone interview on Tuesday and I am super nervous, everyone keeps telling me I’ll be fine. I am so scared; this is one of the major steps into getting it. God has a plan for it all, if I am supposed to be there this summer I will be. It's all part of his PlAN!! I recently turned twenty-two, and this is an age I was told that would hit me worse than twenty one did. I had a great birthday, had some pretty flowers get delivered and had some great friends take me out for dinner at Montanna Mike’s—YUMMY! Sometimes, I get emotional when I turn a different age because I hate the thought of getting older. Its funny when we’re young we can’t wait to get older, but when we’re older we wish, we were younger again. So, either way it’s a win or lose situation. It hit me like a lightning bolt that’s for sure. It means graduation is around the corner, and then its real world time. AHHHHH! I have no idea what my plans for after graduation are, I still have time but it stinks when people ask me “So, what are you doing after graduation”? And of course, I have no answer yet, because in all honest I really don’t know. I’ve been thinking long and hard about going to Grad school at Emporia State, because they have the recreation emphasis, what I am currently leaning towards with what I can do with my general studies degree. A lot of things have changed in my family recently too. We did move to Wichita this past summer, and now we’re trying to sell our house. We still live in Tribune but had a house in Wichita. My dad just currently got offered a job in Topeka to be a secretary for Brownback as the Secretary of the Health and Environment. Crazy right? They all could not be happier with him, so I am happy for my dad. My sister is officially on the track team for KU. So our family is doing swell. Friends are great, could not be better, and would not trade any of them for the world. I met some new ones this year and they are pretty great too. I must say SC is a great place to be. I will definitely miss this place; it sure has felt like home. So many great memories have been made here and some will never be forgotten. Some can be deleted, but we all know that is not necessary and cannot happen. My last semester of classes are starting out pretty good, not too bad at all and that is the way I like it. Well, that is it for a now I did a great sum up for now, if anyone else would like to know more just let me know! Thank you all to you that read this and hope you have a blessed day.
