I have some catching up to do...

Life takes us in so many different directions and places. I have been one busy lady but thankful for all the opportunities that are in front of me. School  has been tough, but next week is my last week until summer school! Whoo hoo. A little break will be nice. I want to passionately thank my Lord and Savior for giving me the patience and the endurance I needed the past few months. His timing is so perfect and brings me to my knees, thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to be the new Graduate Advisor for the school of Urban and Public Affairs. I am excited about my new adventure and pray that I keep my eyes on what truly matters, that I "run with endurance the race that is set before me" and that I focus on pleasing you (Hebrews 12:1-2) This is a bittersweet move as I will miss my dear co-workers who some, have become dear friends. Thankfully I am only one bridge away from them and will continue to see and talk to them! :)

April 14th 2012 my sweet step-sister Halley and Cole got married! It was so beautiful, and to spend time with family like that is priceless. Halley and Cole are amazing parents and it brought tears to my eyes to see them become one, making a covenant between them and the Lord. So awesome!! :)
Here are some pictures of the event...

Let's see what else... I got to celebrate Raylen's 1st Birthday with her and her family. I am so blessed to have them in my life. Being away from home is hard and they really do bring joy to my heart and fill that "family time" that I miss so much. :) Here are some pics of the party...

She is seriously one of the prettiest little girls I know!!

I was sooo happy when I got to spend some time with the bff and see her belly grow!! Easton is getting so big. I am so thankful that Britt has had such a healthy pregnancy, all Glory to God.

Precious!!

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Matthew 22: 37-40
