Moving out of Mallard

Time has finally come to say goodbye to living at Mallard. Its amazing how fast 12 months has gone by. Kassandra, Alexi and I moved into this apartment May 2016 and now our 12 month lease is up.
Alexi and i will be moving to another apartment 2 bedroom and 2 bath :) on june 15th. This apartment is being so generous about renovating our unit and giving us new flooring and stainless steel appliances.

In the meantime, I moved all my boxes of stuff back home today. You realize how much stuff you own when it comes time to move out. I am just trying to make the best of living out of boxes for 18 days. As you recall my sister took my room when I moved out last year so she could have her own room. I am crashing on an air mattress. Least I have to wear a uniform at my job so as long as I have those clothes out I think I will survive ;)

I think reflecting is a good strategy to use when processing life events and so I thought I would list some memories I made at Mallard.

The first weekend I moved in, I threw my roommate a surprise party/ game night out in the yard. From then on we started having game nights once a month or so with people from church. I was also able to have my middle school girls from church over a few times when we made Christmas cookies and had a valentine day party. Our unit also came with a washer/dryer in the unit which was also a blessing. I learned how to cook food for myself lol and on the side of that coin was that my parents lived less than 5 minutes away. The location was awesome including 5 minutes from our church. Kelly and I hung out at the apartment pool a few times. Kassandra and I went to the national night out event that the apartment hosted. I met some new neighbors at this event. Alexi and I blogged on our balcony a few times. Overall I had a really good experience at this apartment especially for it being my first place. I am looking forward to more adventures in my new place

I know it has been a long time since I have written but like i have been saying in my last few posts, college has kept me busy and since I don't have homework tonight, I can come back and blog a little. I will just kinda update you whats going on in my life. Well lets see the semester is coming to an end wohoo!!! just one more week left and then next semester I won't have any more 8 o clock classes which will be SUPER nice. I am still trying to figure out if I am going to continue going to crown next year. I won't bore you with the details but I am possibly considering other schools so we will see. The title of the post just describes the story of my life haha, I have so many decisions to make like what classes to take next semester, what to do over christmas break (i got the opperutunity to go to IHOP (international house of prayer, a conference in Kansas city, Kansas) or stay home and go on a mini vacay with my family.) where to go to sc hool next year and who to be frie

Planet Wisdom

So this past weekend I went to Planet Wisdom with my youth group. Its a conference led by Mark Matlock and Dawson Mcallister. The topic was the last 14 hours of Jesus's life.It was a really good topic to talk about. The big thing that stuck out to me was Jesus was human just like us and he didn't want to die, yet he loved us so much that he did. Mark 14: 36 -36"Abba,Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." This passage shows that he didn't want to but he knew we wouldn't be forgiven by God if he didn't so he died on the cross for us. Another important point was that Jesus dies of suffocation. Fluid filled up in his lungs and no air could get out and thats how he suffocated. Something I think we all have to ask ourselves is Jesus made his choice by dying for us and now we have to make ours.. Is Jesus worth living for? The chorus of a song by Dutton that has been stuck in my

I know I have been in and out in blog world but I have been really busy here at college and I am loving it. But I also have been learning alot and growing in my relationship with God. But its hasn't always been happy joyful times in my walk with God. God has put this story on my heart to share with you guys. So i am going to and sorry there won't be many pictures. Ok so as you know college is EXPENSIVE, especially a private Christian college. Anyways, I did recieve some scholarships and feel very blessed that I did but the plan was I would get an on campus job to cover the other expenses that the scholarships didn't, like room and board. So in the beginning of the year there were all these job openings, and i applied to many of them such as working in the student billing office, finacial aid office,newspaper etc But I didn't get any interviews and they became filled. So during the week the interviews for the finacial aid office was going on, I knew a girl that got an in
