Hi guys!!

Sorry haven't written in a LONG time, but I have been so busy I can't even begin to go into the details. Don't really know what to say...I did make a major life decision, but I figure I better tell my friends personally before I broadcast it on a website...yep, sounds like a good plan to me.

So...haven't talked to any Cedarvillians in awhile, but some of that is my fault...seeing as how I need to call Nate back. Ben though...not sure if I want to call him back  now or not...???  Hope everyone is doing well!

Actually...there is something interesting...I ate a cicada yesterday! Kurt and Alex and I were hanging out in my backyard and I wanted to do something that I normally wouldn't do. Not to mention...I couldn't let Alex eat one and show me up...I had to do something! Anyway, it tasted like a plastic bag, not very bad and no after taste either. And yes...it was alive when I did it...but really, no big deal at all, I can't believe I made such a big deal out of it. I only held it in my hand and contemplated it for like 10 minutes!

So, now that you all think I'm sick ( I assure you, I'm not...I'm not always like that and those of you who know me well can vouch for that) I'm going to continue my busy, yet boring existence and go work for awhile. Hey...it's alright, I'm making VERY good money!!

Love you all!! Muah!

Ok all...i guess it is time to update again...let's see...where do i start??

well...this summer has pretty much been all about work since i've been home, but it's only been like 2 weeks, so it should hopefully get better. not much going on besides work, so my life's been pretty boring. I have 3 jobs...yep 3 jobs!! Stein Mart (department store), babysitting, and dog-sitting (which pays pretty well...so it's not bad). I haven't even had time to catch up with my cedarville people's, so for that, I am terribly sorry.

but, time to go again...must get things done here at the house that I promised my mom i'd help out with. love to you all!! call me, and i will eventually return the call. (nathan and ben...still working on yours )  again...miss all the cedarvillians and hope you are all having an AWESOME summer! muah!

Hello all!!

I hope your weekend went as well as mine...went to a benefit for the Cincinnati chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, and despite the amount of people there nowhere near my age, I actually did have an awesome time. The picture is of me and my mom's friend, Amy, at the benefit. Anyway, had a GREAT night and love getting dressed up, so all was good. Sunday just kind of lazied around taking several naps while watching lifetime movies (a girl's best friend...always tear jerkers or thrillers) and then came back to Cedarville this morning vs last night when I usually head home.

I have 5 exams this week...2 tomorrow and one a day for the rest of the week. Then...I'M OUT FOR SUMMER VACATION!!!! WHOO HOO!! I know you're all extremely jealous, i'm sorry (except for all my cedarvillians who, believe it or not, have summer break the same time i do!!?? ) Well, gotta go to some review sessions for some of my exams this week...so i'll update you all again sometime this week. Love ya!!

Hey guys!

Sorry it's been so long since I updated last...life has been crazy recently. I have had so many papers, and my commentary for spiritual formations, not to mention a major paper for Brit Lit. Anyway, that is why I have regretfully neglected you...so sorry ( I think only a handful of people actually read this anyway).

Last night my dad, my sister, and Tim and I were supposed to go to a Reds game, but unfortunately my dad backed out and we didn't go...it's hard to attend the game when the person who was supposed to pay for you backed out. It's ok...he'll get what is coming to him...no one messes w/ me and my baseball games (and my baseball game hot dogs )

Man, today is going to be a big day...two presentations...well, kind of...one is me and kristen leading our aerobics class for like 20 minutes, and my other is a group project for bio...it has to be at least 10 min and now we're not sure if it's going to make that...but, we'll get by...

Well...off to lunch...lots to do today!! Wish me luck!
