When it rains, it storms.

The past few weeks have been some of the worst I have experienced in a very long while. It seems like one rain storm after another has left me reeling. Everything from computer failures, family illness and injury, school work and tests. For those of you who have been in the loop on one issue or another, thank you so much for your prayers. It has been a long few weeks but at this point I feel relaxed and ready to take on the world again after a rejuvenating spring break.

Prayer and Praise
*Continue to pray for PawPaw as he continues to recover from his open heart surgeries. We hope he will be going home sometime this weekend.
*Pray for safety for Ronnie as he has returned to the field after a couple days in the hospital after a fall.
*Praise-I have a new computer!!
*Thank God for the time away from school to relax over spring break. its even starting to feel like spring!

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
Praise You In This Storm~ Casting Crowns

With Love

Valentine's Day was an interesting holiday for Ronnie and I this year. Our cross-continent date took a tad bit of creativity. We solved this dilemma by having a "skype" date. We used our web cams to have a virtual date in which we watched the latest episode of our favorite tv show LOST and Ice Age 3. We also had lots of time to sit and chat. It was a wonderful day for us both to just re-connect and remind eachother of how far we have come in the last (almost) 2 years. In addition, Ronnie got me a new ipod nano! I love it. I would tell you what I got him, but he hasnt gotten the package yet. :)

To my Valentine: Thank you for being such an amazing man. Than you for the godly example you are to me and also for the way you continue to build me up no matter what. I dont know what I would do without you. I love you.

Beauty in the Small Things

This is what I woke up to this morning. Pure. Beauty. Thank you God for the little things. I treasure them.

Winter Fun

Unit Ice Skating was a blast. It was even better since my sisters could come. It was certainly a learning experience, but a wonderful time of bonding and memories.

Sister Date!

My beautiful sisters came and stayed the night with me at IWU a couple weekends ago. It was fun to share a part of my world with them. We also got to celebrate Cori's 13th birthday. Man....13? I think i just got a gray hair....
