Well it's about that time to do a little update :)

The new August class of interns are are about to complete their first week of training.  The GE Call Center will be taking a mission trip down to Austin this weekend as a part of training - it should be a really fun time!

My life is not my own - that's a nut shell of what the Lord is teaching me.  Jeremiah 10:23  "I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps."  Spend my life how you please Lord. 

Now that I'm not in school I find that I have a lot more time and my life is not nearly as chaotic in one sense.  I still seem to stay plenty busy though. 

Below are some pictures of a project I did with some friends this summer - we actually built a free standing wall.  Crown molding and all!  Three determined girls and it somehow ends up working out :)

"The Builders"

Building the frame.

Me nailing the studs

Who knows what I'm doing.

Drywall, one sheet at a time.

Last but not least . . . the crown molding :(  It's way harder than it looks.

Is that right

For real - I hate crown molding

Crown Molding!!!!!

I am now officially not good at keeping my xanga account updated . . .

I was a Team Leader on the Texas Juniors Trip and it was great.  11 and 12 year olds have so much energy!

My nephew Lane gets cuter every single day.  I won't get to see him until September.

Lane doing laundry Not only is he cute but he helps around the house.

Lane beautiful He is so cute!!

Summer is busy but filled with a lot of fun as well.  Great friends make it even better - you all know who you are!

Here are some pictures from graduation.  Can I just say I have the best friends in the world?  Well . . . I do!  They sat through the boring ceremony just for me. 

Thank you - Jenn, Sara, Emmie, Jamin, Todd, Ingrid, Nick, Jerissa and PG!

Yesterday I enjoyed a Sunday of relaxation without the dark cloud of homework looming over me!

For all of you out there who are still in school - hang in there!

Jenn and I riding to UT.

I am done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

No more school for me!  No more tests!  No more professors!  No more group projects!

At least until grad school - someone come marry me so I can put that off more than a year ;)

I walk this Saturday @ 4pm.  The ceremony is at UT Tyler - if you know me you are welcome to come :)  

If you don't know me . . . why are you reading my xanga?   

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Study break - It's 1:45am and I'm half way done with the second half of my political philosophy paper!!!

I hope to have it completed by 4 am - thus giving me about 2 hours of sleep.  Then I will study for my other final tomorrow between my two classes - that gives me about 3 hours study time. 

Tuesday night - finish a short paper and study for the last test of my undergraduate college career!!!  WOOHOO!

I'm not going to lie I'm stinking tired and I wish I would have done this paper earlier.  But oh well, such is life.

What will I do with all of my extra time after I graduate? 

Hang out with friends more (and I won't feel guilty about it), start going to college group Thursday nights at church, read more books that I want to read, exercise more, finish up the odd jobs around the house, travel, relax!!!

God is so good to me - I have so much to be thankful for - let me never forget that.  

Feeling kind of like this . . .

Home 018

But about to feel like this Wednesday night!  Who wants to celebrate finals being over with me?  I took the picture while I was driving ok . . . give a girl a break.  But you can't deny the excitement - it's there!
