A day in the life

So today my job as the lil' intern consisted of putting labels on postcards that we are going to pass out at Encounter about Passion 06...the funny thing is now that I think about it...I put a label on over a thousand postcards and I couldn't tell you anything the postcard said, except the date and city. So....don't ask me any questions about Passion 06 because I probably don't know the answer. However, while labeling I was able to spend some quality time in front of the television because putting labels on postcards by yourself in a quite office gets REALLY boring REALLY fast!!! I first learned how to look 10 years younger if I have a lot of money to get some really expensive surgery and facial things(I want the cheap homemaid treatments, not the ones that break the bank)...then I got a good dose of Stever Erkle which was good laugh, then I watched Erik and Cory grow up and learn hard life lessons on boy meets world...then Michelle Tanner learned to tie her shoes and DJ and Steve said I love you and got caught making out. Lastly I realized why I never want 7 kids from seventh heaven. I'm sure by this point you are thinking I did nothing productive today...however I labeled consistently from 11am-6pm, with only 2 breaks. And a good dose of tv can get you thinking, which it did...but I'm still processing all those random thoughts.

Tonight however, was great fun and a huge blessing. Around 18 freshman chi-0 pledges came over for dinner tonight. It was so fun and great to see their beautiful faces and hang out with them and get to know them. They are some amazing girls. I am still smiling at just what a blessing it was to be able to open up and home to them and cook dinner for them...I love that we have that ability...to open our homes and share the love of Christ through hospitality...it makes me excited about having a home of my own one day and it makes me think about my future home and what kind of place I want to be able to open up to others! I love my internship!! It is so wonderful!!!! I love being able to do what I love to do every single day all day!!! The Lord is soooo good.
Sorry it was sooo long!

I have a little head

So today I got measured for my cap and gown and ordered my graduation invitations. Who would have ever thought you could make a living off college students walking across a stage and getting a diploma but the balfour people sure know how to get every last penny out of the broke college students...some of the options you would have to take a loan out for. It was kind of weird...its all very surreal. The real world still seems very far away...and I think I like it that way. Also can anyone tell me the origin of the word Balfour because quite honestly I think its a really wierd name.

lil' intern

I know its been awhile since my last post...being a lil' intern keeps my life pretty busy. JP has affectionately nicknamed me lil' intern and its our running joke(although I really am the intern...anyway). Life is good. I am more content right now than I have been in a long time. I am doing something my heart loves and desires and I know I am right where the Lord has me. I do get restless and long to pick up and go for an adventure but the Lord gently reminds me of what an adventure everyday is...and this is true especially working with JP(in a good way!). I have seen what an adventure each day is just living life with the Lord right here in Auburn...everyday looks different...there is hardly any structure to my life...which for the most part drives me crazy! But at the same time I love it! So thats pretty much life for now...structureless and adventerous(doesn't sound too bad huh?)
