Summer is ending...already.

This summer has gone by SO fast! I can't believe that it is already the first of August. Time has flown by. I feel like I just finished my spring classes, and now I'm getting ready to start my fall classes. This is my last semester of undergrad! It's so different than highschool. I was sad to finish highschool because I knew leaving my friends would be hard when I came to college. Now, my friends have mostly all graduated and left me, and now I can't wait to finish my undergrad and move on. Some friends are still here, but most of my youth min. friends are done and gone. I am pretty excited for my friends who will be here this fall to get back from home. It's always kind of lonely here in the summer, but at the same time, really nice because its not a battle to find a parking spot on campus and not as crazy there.





I still don't know what masters degree I'm going to do. I need to meet with Dr. Barker this next week if he's in. I want to do the best thing. It's tempting to do the shorter one and then just go on to the doctorate program, but I want to get the degree that's going to be the most beneficial to what God has called me to do. This is the battle that has been in my mind for a long time. What to do?





I had a dream last night that Rob and I had a baby boy, and then somehow I named it without Rob being there, but then forgot what I named it. It was something with Matthew as the middle name, which is my brothers name. I couldn't find the birth certificate and so whenever people would ask me his name I had to tell them that I forgot it. haha. And then Rob and I were living in Warroad (haha. definitely not reality) and we decided to move, and had to tell everyone goodbye and it was sad. Then me and my mom were in Australia looking for a moving truck. haha. I always have crazy dreams.

I took Rob to a WWE Raw wrestling match for his birthday, it was crazy. We really had a lot of fun!!




<--- Here we are in our wrestling shirts. They have different people on them, but it's the closest we've ever been to wearing matching shirts. I hate when couples think it's cute to wear matching shirts, cuz its not, unless its for a reason, then that's different. But this was a big step for us. haha. JK.

I'm glad that it's Friday. Next week I have to find a job and duplicate my huge youth project to give Doc Brown a copy for him to use as an example in his next classes. I miss youth classes already. People always think that the youth degree is easy, but it's not. One of the projects I wrote is 350 pages long and another is about 200-250 pages long. I don't know of any other majors who have projects that are this long or to this intensity. The difference is that in a youth major, we spend so much time and discussion talking and planning how to deal with changing the lives of teenagers. It's something that if you are called to do it, it is exciting to learn and talk about... it's not just another class that you have to go to. Projects aren't just for a passing grade, but for use in the future in helping a teenager develop a mature relationship with God. A book isn't read just for an assignment, but for knowledge in something that we will have to face later on. I have to admit, I can't wait to finish school and get into what I've been training for for years.

Ok, well, I have sociology to read for. By the way, I love the TV show Monk. Whoever thought up all this stuff is either OCD and comes up with these insane things from experience or else is a creative genius! Gotta love it. Bye for now.
