This whole room is pink.
Gotta love the health center :)
Well besides being sick… I’m having a wonderful semester! Things are still looking up. Classes are going well. About half of them I love and the other half I love to use as a study hall :) I am starting to really really long for spring break. Only… ten days? Something like that. I’ve kinda lost track of...
wow
God is just so good :)

All That Thrills My Soul
(my theme song at the moment)
Who can cheer the heart like Jesus By His presence all divine True and tender, pure and precious O, how blest to call Him mine Chorus All that thrills my soul is Jesus He is more than life to me And the fairest of ten thousand In my blessed Lord I see Love of Christ so freely given Grace of God beyond degree Mercy higher than the heavens Deeper than the deepest sea...

This poem makes me laugh

The Purple Cow
I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one.
by Gelett Burgess
“Ah yes, I wrote the purple cow
I’m sorry now I wrote it
But I can tell you anyhow
I’ll kill you if you quote it”

Shirts!
You have no idea how much time I have just wasted looking at every single item on this site. These shirts are the bomb! They are having a sale at the moment. Seriously, check this out. Now.
Mixed Emotions
Three and a half weeks? What? That can’t be possible. Only three and a half weeks until I’m back to my old routine? Woah. I am so… confused, estatic, depressed, I dont know! I can’t believe my summer is almost over. *sigh* Oh well. I guess that is how it goes. I have been missing my friends since the second I left school. But on the other hand, I have been enjoying the...

Summer Living
Hey everybody! Summer is still whizzing by!
My trip to Minneapolis was just a blast. I got to catch up with a lot of people and just take a break from work.
I am WAY excited. Right now, my sister-in-law Caroline is in labor! All of us are so so so excited to have another member of the family!
Well here in Grand Forks, me and Jen have been doing some major cleaning! Surprising, but true!...
Vacation!
In a little over an hour, I am getting on a train that is headed for Minneapolis. I am way excited! I am going to spend a week with friends and family. I am happy :)

Different Forms of Entertainment
Television
Jennifer has introduced me to the best website EVER. TvGasm. With this site, you can watch the show, and then laugh as you read commentators practically read your mind on what you thought of the show, OR, if you miss the show (or just don’t care enough to waste and hour of your life) you can read all the highlights in hilarious detail. I’m telling you, this site is gold....
Air
What is it about driving with the windows down at dusk that makes you feel… revitalized? It makes me want to just keep driving and driving and driving and driving! Gotta love summer.
Worlds Strictest Parents
On CMTV, there is a show called “Worlds Strictest Parents.” Watching this show just made me laugh. These two teens go and spend a week at a new families house. This new family has only these house rules:
1. No drinking
2. No smoking
3. No sex
4. No immodest clothing
Seriously? They have to make a show about this? Seriously.
Are these four rules so rarely enforced that they have...
It Couldn't Be Done
Edgar Guest Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed:...

Piggies, Phones, and a Pregnant Lady
There hasn’t been anything exciting going on in my life lately. The most eventful thing to report is my most current phone problems. My old phone decided to fake it’s own death about six times. Some days it would turn on and work fine, but other days it wouldn’t turn on at all. I decided that this had gone on long enough. I went to Zendoo and ordered a cheapo alltel phone that...
Nutella!
I have to thank my boss at school for introducing me to this wonderful taste of heaven. Nutella is made from hazelnuts and chocolate. It is the best thing to add to a lightly toasted plain bagel. If you’ve never tried Nutella, go to the grocery store and find some near the peanut butter. Yuuuummmm.
Laughing Gas Kid
Remember that totally awesome video of David after the dentist? (If you don’t, look up Laughing Gas Kid on youtube) Well now there are T shirts!!
I just biked home from work in the rain :)
Rootbeer Float Fake
I had a craving. It was for a rootbeer float. The thing is, I can’t have ice cream or pop… (lactose and fructose intolerant). I happened to have some mini tofu ice cream sandwiches. I picked up some diet A&W at the grocery store and wala! Except not. Seriously, do not try this at home. It wasn’t so bad at first, but once the chocolate on the tofu ice cream sandwiches got...
Sparta vs. Ninja
I am going to work a little earlier than I usually do and so the TV shows are different this morning. I found a new show on Spike TV. It is called “Deadliest Warrior.” The episode on now is Sparta vs. Ninja. I think this is pretty sweet. Here is the shows website. I wonder if they would tackle the age old question of Death Star vs Enterprise…
"Don't Talk to Strangers!"
So I just got back from my run (still training for that 5k) but I have an interesting story. I go running at night, but I usually get home right as it gets dark out, that way my sister won’t have to worry about me. I was a block away from home as I finished up my cool down and I passed by a party somebody was having. I walked past two guys who were on the other side of the fence and they...
Gotta love commercial songs :)

I'm sorry...
We can not make you a supermodel.
Out of these three contestants, I wanted Branden (right) to here these nine words. And guess what, he won. I am ticked. Me and my sister both wanted Jonathan (left) to win. We thought he was the best. I predicted that Sandhurst (center), Jonathan, and Mountaha (who was fourth in the running) to be the top three finalists! I was so upset when Mountaha was...
Goodbye Facebook!
I have decided to take a break from the facebook world. I have no idea how long this will last, but I’ll just take it one day at a time. Maybe now I will get off my bum every now and again.
I do intend to spend some extra time blogging though. Luckily, this takes up much less time than facebook. I will try to keep you all posted on how my summer is playing out. Keep checking back for...

"I won't say"
Working at quiznos has been a lot of fun so far. Of course, starting a new job is always a pain, but it gets easier every day. Not to mention I bike to work so I don’t have to pay for gas! Yay!
I love love love that University Park is just eight blocks down the street. When I have nothing to do, I just head over there and sit under a tree and read for a while. I pack my blanket, book,...

yyyeeaaahh!
For ONCE, being underage actually came in handy. I am in grand forks for the summer and I really wanted to get a membership at the Y. Mostly because I RREEAALLLY want to swim. I love love love swimming and there is nowhere to swim in either Kiester or Grand Forks. So anyway, I went over to the Y to sign up for a membership and found out that they have a 99 days of summer membership, sweet! I was...

The Start of Summer!!
Im here im here im here!! I like grand forks already :) I have the whole attic to myself which is AMAZING. I start the job hunt tomorrow :) It’ll be fun I’m sure. I’ll try to keep you all updated on things this summer. Adios for now!
You’ll never guess where I am.
I am sitting on top of three dressers (pushed together) in a mostly empty room in Weeks dorm. Rebekah is here with me too (she is busy chatting with her mom on skype). Sometimes I stop and wonder “how did I end up here?.” This is one of those moments. Why am I on top of the dresser? Simply because I jumped up here because I like high up places. Why...
