14 days......

I can not even begin to think about how much time has gone by and how much stuff i still have to take care of before i leave!! The clock is ticking and man can i feel it! My last day of work is April 3rd!!! I'm really excited to leave but am also going to miss the friends that i have made there. Today I started packing a little and started to get things organized. I'm looking at fixed lenses right now because I am thinking of getting one before i leave! i have two zoom lenses right now and would really love to get just a regular fixed lens. Packing up everything is really crazy.... It's like packing my life away.. Kind of a crazy realization of growing up....

When I get back from YWAM... i will be living in my own place! it's just kinda crazy in the fact of starting out fresh. I have been praying a lot lately for bravery.... This world is huge and i am taking it head on... I am so incredibly excited and ready. I am more then ready to see what God has for me down the road, but the reason I pray for bravery is because i really do tend to get intimidated on occasion with the thought of leaving EVERYTHING behind and just starting out new....

I know God has many plans for my life.....

I'm ready Father...
Take me by the hand father... and guide the way... my heart and mind are open and with you Father... Guide me down the path you have in store for me... give me strength, courage, wisdom, hope, laughter, and friendships.... Father you are good. You are a loving God.. Allow me to feel your love everyday... Father put your hand over my journeys and keep me safe in your arms...
I love you Father...

You Are Beautiful Father

It Was amazing!!! this weekend I am in Montana seeing my grandma and a few cousins! BUT, my brothers show ended up being up here so i got to see him again!!! I haven't seen his show since two christmas' ago so it was amazing! We went out to a really nice restaurant and had an incredible dinner! We are staying at the Crowne Plaza in Billings Montana so we are high rolling this weekend :)

Only 20 Days left until HAWAII!!! AH! I can't believe it! Time has flown by and I still have a lot to do. I have been praying a lot for patience and God has really given me a deep breath. All your prayers mean so much to me, so THANK YOU!

This past semester has been really sweet for me. God has really blessed me with amazing people and amazing memories. I am really looking forward to what he has in store down the road :)


LOVE YOU ALL!!!

No more sunshine :(

even though the great weather is gone again, still gret day for shooting!!

OH MY GOLLY GOSH!!!

I can not believe it!!! 33 DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE!!!! I can not begin to tell you how much excitement is leaping out of my heart everyday! These past few weeks have really been crazy. I have been working my butt off, saving my earnings for this new beginning. It's been so hectic though that i haven't exactly been able to talk to any of my lovely YWAMers. It's funny how much some of us have already bonded! I actually find myself missing them!!
This past week has been GORGEOUS! Truly a gift i would say!! It's been sunny and beautiful which is an awesome change of pace!! I have been outside on my lunch breaks shooting as much as i can :) I promise i will start posting some of my pictures soon! I am still getting used to the fact that i HAVE a blog! ha! But I just wanted to say hello and just share what was goin on lately!
My brother Wes is back home for 5 days!!! It is always so awesome to see him! I always miss him like crazy. But he's always out on a new adventure and i love it when he get's back so he can share!! It's great to have family home :)

Love you all, but being the busy bee that I am, i must depart for now to go to work.


Blessings
Pictures will be up soon


Love
