I’ve been thinking a lot lately just about life and how I want to live mine. Years ago I made a “realistic” bucket list. On it were things that I could do in my life time. I have no idea where the list is now so I’m thinking I need to make a new one, so here it is:
-see Kings of Leon in concert (I got tickets for September, I’m stoked!)
-see Britney Spears in concert.
-see Mumford and sons in concert.
-Visit all 50 states. (I’ve been to 27 or 28)
-adopt a baby from Swaziland
-go back to Swaziland
-live in another country and do missions
-become a Photo Journalist.
-go to Russia
-go to Greece.
-send a message in a bottle.
-write a book
-blog about all my adventures (I love blogging)
-write my love story
-have a reunion with the girls I went to Swaziland with.
-have a house with a screened in porch.
-be in a music video
These are just some of not so obvious things I want to do, I do want to get married one day and have a couple dozen (well maybe not dozen) kids of my own. But one day I want to do all of these things. I love adventures and I love telling the stories.

summer has arrived!
My goodness it’s been awhile since the last time I blogged. Oops :)
Well I’m not going to lie a lot has happened in the last two and half months. I am single and mingling (haha) got a new roommate, working more and started a bible study with some of my best friends.
Last week my very best friend moved into my house which was a blessing for all involved. Alaina really needed a place to live that was cheap but close to work and Bianca and I needed a new roommate. So far so good. Prayer for protection over that relationship is much appreciated.
I recently started leading a bible study with three of my best friends; we’re currently studying Genesis and getting down into the start of it. It’s been really cool to see the seeds that I’ve been planting for years growing some fruit. It’s a little intimidating knowing what I say has such a big effect on them and their spiritual growth. So once again prayers are appreciated.
Its summer time which means I will be incredibly busy for the next three months with all kinds of fun stuff…bbqs, pool parties, bonfires, lake trips, camping and so much more! I am so excited but a little be nervous seeing as I’m working full time at one job and part time at another…. Builds character I know.
God is so good and I am truly in awe of Him and His provisions. I get impatient and restless at times but man He is so good. I am so excited to see what He has in store for the community group I am leading with Brandon, I am also so excited to see how He uses me with this new bible study. I can’t get over that He wants to use ME to help these amazing girls. So cool. As summer starts Brandon and I have sat down and tried to wrap our minds around how our community group and friendship has grown. We are both so blessed to be a small part Gods plan for this community group. We love watching everyone grow and come alive in Christ. So far it’s been a ton of girls and a few guys so pray for Brandon and the other guys; they could use some company :)
My dad with the help of our wonderful friend Grant (MR. Grant as Kaleb calls him) built Kaleb a play set in the back yard with a sand box a couple of weeks ago. What a cool blessing for Bianca and Kaleb.
I am truly so excited for this summer and all that God has in store, as always I’m a bit anxious and impatient but the excitement has kind of taken over at this point.
