graduations, weddings, reunion, & more...

well, since arriving in arkansas early friday, may 21, i have had the joyful privilege of:
*attending my niece's kindergarten graduation
*attending harber high school senior graduation where many of my transfer youth were graduating
*attending and participating in cody & jacquelyn bunton's wedding
*attending a transfer reunion (courtesy of cody & jacq's wedding that brought us all together)

it's been a whirlwind since i got here =). i'm now looking forward to a week of job discovering followed by a week of THE WONDER TOUR taking place in KANSAS.

tonight i told a friend that life with Jesus is one stupendous day after another!
what a privelege, honor, and blessing!

what's so good about bye?

well, the goodbyes have begun. my roommate, amber, would say, "it's not goodbye, it's farewell." i'm not sure which one i like better. atleast with "farewell" you're wishing them well. goodbye? really? what's GOOD about it?

my head knows i'm making the right decision. but, in moments like these (the moments of goodbyes) my heart sure does ponder the rightness of it all.

. drum roll, please .

i know it's been a while since i posted. & let me tell ya that there's been quite a bit goin' on!
first of all, INVISIBLE CHILDREN has captured my heart (again). my roommate & had the awesome privilege to take part in April 25 The Rescue event.
*see slideshow for pics & www.invisiblechildren.com for details *

now, onto the tuition trial homefront. BIG NEWS...a final decision has been made!
in 10 hours i will turn in my letter of resignation at work. my final day will be thursday, may 21. my mom & possibly sister will be coming to manhattan to help me pack my life & head down to arkansas.
i will take summer classes through HCC (where i've been taking classes so far) and begin at NWACC (in rogers, arkansas) for the spring '10 semester. i will get my degree from University of Arkansas and head into all the glorious goodness that my Creator has for me!

ah. this decision has not been made quickly or without prayer, counsel, and waiting. so, here we go!

WOO PIG SOOIE!!!

door closed? look for the open window

just thought i'd drop a late night note to let y'all know that plans are coming together & i'm excited for what's in store. God & i are having fun filling in the blanks of my life right now.

Bittersweet Denial

Yesterday afternoon I received word from KSU Admissions. My In-State-Tuition has been denied.

I am taking a deep breath and seeking God's counsel for the next step, as well as evaluating my options.

Thanks for your support & prayers,
cbs

detox

all my roomies have gone their seperate ways this weekend which has left me in the ideal situation for a "people detox."
do you ever need one of those? no agenda. no people. just time.

ah! so, friday night i went out with leah for some LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue quality time.
saturday, i did some creative creating for a few hours, caught up on some tv shows, watched a movie, and just chilled. it was GREAT!
this morning i woke up with no alarm & thought, "well, i'm up. i'll get ready for church." when i looked at the clock, i realized my morning was gone & church had started without me. so, my people detox time continues.

a couple weeks ago whitney and i were talking about extrovert vs introvert. i'm a fairly outgoing fun-loving person, so i usually assume i'm an extrovert! but, when weekends like this come, i quickly realized that i'm energized by solitude and refreshed by sporadic weekends of silence.

cheers for the detox,
cbs
