Spring break was a blast! It started off with a flight to Dallas on Monday night to meet up with friends and help out in an orphanage. By the time I got there the girls in the house were gone to another home for a few days but that gave us more time to spend with the family that runs the home we were staying in. The Patinos are very sweet people and have such a heart for God. I really enjoyed spending time with them and listening to Laura. She has some great wisdom. Their two kids (Junior and Elaina) are so fun! Elaina helped me wash baseboards and dust. She's such a big helper for a four year old. Junior went to Six Flags with us and kept us laughing. Please pray for the Patinos as they take care of these teenage girls and ask that God would give them the encouragement that they need on the hard days.

I'm back!

Well, I'm back at the ol' casa. Not exactly thrilled about it but life must get back to the usual grind at some point I guess. I had an awesome spring break trip with some awesome friends. I only have a few pics but I'll post more when I get them. There are pleanty of stories to tell too! Check back for more pics/stories later!

It's Spring Break!!!!!!

YEAH! I'm officially out of school for more than a week! The next week will be rather busy so I don't know when I'll blog again. On Monday night I'm off to help out in an orphanage and then late in the week off to hang out at a lake and have fun. Then on the very last day of Spring Break I have a birthday! So everyone should come and visit me and we'll have a big BBQ!

Text

Well, I know blog entries without pictures are boring and hardly worth reading, but since I'm announcing that I'm joining the world of texting now I figured it'd be okay to post without a picture this time. So, text me if you want to petition me for more pics on here or for anyother good reason.

Wow, a normal picture of Carl!
And a not so normal picture of Carl and Esh

Another week in the college life. My midterm behind me, on paper down, countless hours of Bible study, two 3 am nights and another week of work. It was really a very blessed week. Monday I had my bio lab midterm which wasn't too bad. TuesdayI learned about genetics in lab (some very scary stuff there), voted, worked, cleaned at the student center and then went to Bible study. I had a great discussion with Carl, Thomas and Severo about Torah until almost 3am when we called it quits. The time was really blessed and I left feeling refreshed and ready to delve into the word even more. When it came time for History at 8 that same morning it wasn't such a physically refreshing feeling but it was worth it. Wednesday wasn't super remarkable. I broke into Esh's house because my truck wouldn't start and no one was there. No worries, I was able to get in the back door and I didn't break anything. :)

Thursday I was able to sleep in and catch up on my rest! That night Carl, Esh, Ainslee, and Chelsea came over and ate, watched Napoleon Dynamite and played bumper pool! My terrible case of procrastination kept me up until almost 3 writing a paper due at 8. I completed it though! Friday night I was wiped out and crashed by 9 pm and didn't crawl out of bed until noon today! I think it's time for a nap too.

Oh and the most exciting thing about the week is that I purchased my plane ticket to go and help out in an orphanage during spring break! Esh and Carl are going so it should be a lot of fun! Only 5 more school days until the break!
