Oh How Long Its Been!

I have not written since before I went to Rhode Island. I am NOT a faithful blogger. For that I apologize. But how can I really be a faithful blogger when I get such limited feedback? ::hint hint::I am mostly well but I need glasses. I ran out of contacts about a month after I got here. Since then everything has been blurry, and because of the strain on my eyes my vision is only getting worse. Please pray for me in that area.For anyone who hasn’t heard I am getting married on April 27th at the Loose Park Rose Garden in Kansas City. I picked out a dress that I think is absolutely beautiful and I am waiting for word from Dad whether he can afford it or not. The bridal party is still To Be Determined. Planning is a bit stunted but my married room mate is such a blessing and Im sure that everything will go smoothly. Travis and I recently enrolled ourselves in pre-marital counceling with this gentleman name Gil Hiltbrunner I believe. I am really excited, it seems like it will be an interesting and beneficial experience.I have become a scrabble junkie. Which doesn’t make much sense since I am not that well versed in the english language but it is a lot of fun anyway. One of the many things I have learned here at IHOP is how to live without any extra money. Going out to eat and seeing a movie after has been replaced by dinners at home followed by a good game of cards. Travis and I made a commitment to buy one board game a month to keep us entertained. Sometimes we splurge and buy two. There is a game that everyone around here plays called Settlers of Catan. It is an amazingly fun strategy game.I love where I live. The couple I live with is amazing. Ashley has become one of my best friends and Bryan is such a good influence on Travis. Doors are really opening up here at IHOP for Bryan. His song was chosen to be on the Immersed CD that came out shortly before Christmas and he is now singing on one of the most annointed teams. But you all should buy the CD, his song is Shine On Us sang by Cory Asbury and he gets some of the profit as support….so go buy it now!!!My dog Kenai is getting so big. And so well behaved. He is my favorite little munchkin. I know that God made him especially for me. God gives good gifts!Right now I am taking the class “How to Study The Bible”. The class is very foundational and I think it will be very beneficial to me. In almost 3 years I have not established a firm system of studying the bible and I think it is time!I feel so changed since I have come here. I never want to leave! Yet that opinion changes every day. Sometimes all I want to do is leave! I just love the Lord. I really really love the Lord. I dont know if I will ever be able to write an amazing composition of the depth of my love for Jesus, probably not. But I dont need to! Its the end of my shift. I have to go. I’ll try to write soon.
