So, I haven't done this for probably a year or close to. Holy cow. So many of my old posts talk about how I am going to work on updating this better and what not. Looks like I am there again on trying this whole blogging thing again. :) Well, since I last updated, I have moved home, done a ton with my photography, traveled, started working for the school district, done a lot of crafting and of course, watched my all time favorite team win the Super Bowl and I have had some trials with the Lord. The last one happens a lot, but I am alright with that because I always come out loving the Lord so much more than I ever thought I would. Right now, my family and I are going through a pretty deep valley of trust. I am not going to go into details, but we are going through that and I know that the end results are going to be us stomping on Satan and coming out on top with the Lord standing right there with us. Well, other than that, my life is pretty rocking right now. I love my job and I am so blessed to have it. I am very glad I am no longer in retail and dealing with angry guests practically everyday. I do miss my co-workers and Manhattan, but I am so blessed by my current co-workers now! I haven't had a single day of work where I don't want to go in. I go in every morning excited to see what the day holds. Each person I work with brings me joy and I just am blessed to have received this job. :) This last Sunday was the Super Bowl and our family is definitely still on cloud nine because the one and only Seattle Seahawks won!! It was amazing. This year was one of the most fun years of football. I was able to go to a game in Seattle with my mom, sister and my cousin, Brian. It was amazing! We are still shocked that our team won. It is a great feeling and it will definitely take a while to sink in. :) Well, the perks of working for the school district is having snow days when Kansas decides to give Newton about a foot of snow! No complaints here! I have been able to use the first snow day as a laundry/clean/craft day. It has been wonderful. Full of hulu, movies and crafting, and of course eating the leftover Super Bowl treats! Today, I made a craft I am super proud of! I got two old movie reels for my birthday from my friend, Tarrah, and I didn't really know what to do with them, so I looked on Pinterest (of course) and there was nothing! I saw a table or a light fixture you could use them for, but I already have made a table, and I am not in need of a light (also didn't want to have to go out and buy stuff for it) So, I decided to dig into my brain and see if I could make them frames! Sure enough! I painted them a deep purple, got some of my favorite pictures, grabbed some double sided tape and went to work. They make awesome frames!! (I put some pictures down below.) I promise I am going to try to get better at this! It is kind of like a therapy session for me, so maybe I will work on it!! Sorry for the randomness of this post! Thanks for sticking with me if you did! :) I will probably add another post of some more of my favorite crafts later, but right now, I am hitting the hay! Gotta get up bright and early for a snow day tomorrow! Ok, maybe not, but oh well. ;) I hope everyone has a safe and warm Wednesday! </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Welp, It is officially that time of my life. Everything is changing. Some good and some bad. In a week, things will start getting real for me, at least I think... My roomie Sam is moving to Illinois. I am so excited for her, but also very sad! When she is gone, I know that things are really going to start sinking in and I am going to realize what I am going to miss! For those of you who don't know (for the few that probably read this) I moved my moving date from August to June. June 8th to be exact. Holy stress batman, right? Well, yes, and no. I am so excited to move home. I have really been having AWESOME quiet times recently and I am really finding an odd peace within me about moving. There are quite a few people that I am going to miss so much, and I have also realized that it isn't as many as I thought it would be. I have really been evaluating the relationships that I have with people and I have realized that I don't have as many close people here anymore. I have a handful of amazing co-workers, and a few families here that I am really the closest to. My other heart friends are spread out everywhere and it is great. :) There are some awesome opportunities waiting for me when I am in Newton, and I am so excited to push on throughout the struggles of moving homes, moving jobs, moving BACK in with my mom (love you, mom!), pursuing photography even stronger thanks to some great people, leaving a place that I have called home for the last 5 years and leaving some amazing people. One of the families that I think I will miss the most though, is the precious <a href="http://thesapps.blogspot.com/">Sapp</a> family. I know that I have talked about them so so many times, but I do have to say, I don't know if they will ever understand the impact that they have had on my life. I have been at the lowest points and they have been there for me every time that has happened. Nate and Erika have blessed me with the opportunity to babysit their amazing girls since the end of my freshman year here. I have loved watching these girls blossom into great little treasures of our Lord. I love their curiosity for life and for God and they have taught me so much that they don't even realize. I know that I am moving and I am crushed that I won't be able to be as close to them, or even be in little Hunter's life as well, but being only an hour and forty five minutes away helps. :) I will definitely shed a tear when I have to say goodbye to them. I also have to say thank you to the amazing family that has opened up their basement to three (now two) crazy girls and being a second family to us. The <a href="http://cherishedmystery.blogspot.com/">Classen</a> family is one of the most inspirational, caring families that I think I have ever met. They are so loving and you can tell that they genuinely love. That is becoming more rare in people nowadays, and it is comforting to call their basement home. Their 3 kids have blessed me also. The laughter that they bring always lights up my day when I walk in that door no matter what mood I am in. Whether it is me coming back from a great weekend at home and missing peeps from there already or coming home from a poopy day at work, I can usually count on them to bring a smile on my face. :) More tears will come from that. Well, talking about telling the people I love in Manhattan goodbye is not fun, so, moving on! I am very excited to see where God takes me in the job market too. I might be transferring to Menards and look for a job then in Newton so I don't have to drive, but I am also excited to see what he does with my photography business. One of the amazing families in Newton is really determined in seeing my photography succeed and that in itself is uber encouraging and I cannot wait to make my business even bigger and hopefully reach more people! That is just one of the many reasons home is getting more excited. I will write more about that later. This blog post is already long enough. ;) So, for the next month I will be trying my hardest to just cherish what I have here and now and try not to focus on home. That will be hard, but I am going to try! I know. I am being a little bit dramatic, but that is how I do, so whatever. :) </span></div>

So, in the whole trek of trying to lose some pounds, I have been trying to find some good, cheap and easy recipes and I have found some flops, but I did find this one that was phenomenal! They are Philly Cheese steak stuffed green peppers. I mean, you can't really go wrong with that can you? Well, I just needed to share the recipe because of how delicious they were! So, here you go! Recipe and Link below!</div>

So, I mentioned this in my last blog post, but the last couple weeks, it is something that has been crowding my mind and my prayers. I think about it constantly and I really don't like it consuming my thoughts so much! The thing I am talking about is relationships. I feel like I talk about this a lot, but I just kind of want to talk it out and then be done with it. :) So, recently A LOT of my friends around my age have been getting engaged, married and having kids. Holy moly. I have really only ever been on one date in my whole life. So, saying that and seeing them is super hard for me. I am so excited for them and I love they they have found that one that God has planned for them, but I have found myself a little bitter on the inside. I hate doing this. I need to be excited for them 100%. So, the last couple of weeks, I have been praying a lot more about my future husband. I have been trying to pray about where he is, when I will meet him and just for him day to day that God blesses him. I have no idea who this guy is, but I can tell you that I am so excited. I have also made it a point to make it stop consuming my every thought. I can't let it do that because then I start thinking about myself and why I don't have a boyfriend and that leads to my past of absolutely NO self confidence and then that makes me feel like poop. So, I am kind of changing a couple things at the beginning of the new year. I am trying to lose weight and make myself healthier and I am also trying to be super duper patient with God on the guy subject. I am trying to make myself get over the fact that I don't have one. I am happy right now, and as much as I would absolutely love to be in a relationship, I need to stop hanging on to those thoughts and realize that I am blessed with a great life. :) I have also realized that I am very picky with the guy that I want. First and foremost, he NEEDS to yearn for the Lord. I need someone that will challenge me and grow with me in my relationship with God. That thing and then some other things have thrown up a red flag and let me know that I am picky. I am ok with that though. I don't want to just settle with a guy. Like the title says, it is time to move on. I am going to continue to pray for this wonderful guy I will someday have (hopefully) and if not, I am going to pray that God gives me peace to understand that I might not ever get that guy. The praying is hopefully will be all. I don't want to continue to cloud my thoughts with guys and thoughts of relationships. I am young, I still have a while. :) So, I am anxious to see what happens this year. 2013 will be a good year. A year full of change and growing up, but it will be good. So, sorry for spilling my guts out again. :) I guess it happens when I open this tab! I do feel better!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I realized as I was trying to log on, that you can't update this if you don't have a password. Now I remember why I haven't updated since August. Holy Moly. Well, I am taking this time right now, to kind of start over. I realize that I always feel a little better after I write a blog post, so here goes nothing. Since my last post, my life has been crazy. I have moved, changed departments at work, gained two amazing roommates, The Wildcats won the Big 12 title because we are just that awesome, just previously lost one of those roommates because of Graduation, My photography business has grown, I have fallen away from my faith more than I would have liked to, I have made some decisions and might possibly start changing churches, finding that I am nothing without the Lord and I seriously could not live life with out him, I have made some future plans that are going to change my life, had some heartbreaks and lastly (at least what I can think of) I have had some wonderful times of laughter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yeah, sorry for a long post. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, as I read over that list, I feel as if I should talk through some things, so bear with me, if you don't want to read this, you can just leave! It really would not hurt my feelings. :) haha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok. Here we go!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, when I say I fell away from my faith, I guess I didn't fall really far, but I still fell and I hated who I was becoming. For me, not being in Challenge has actually been harder than I thought it would be. I guess I had a secret accountability built into myself when I was leading worship, meeting with Erika every week and going to a bible study every week. I would make time for a quiet time with the Lord, and I would do things that started to just come second nature to me, like being a selfless person and learning scripture, etc. I also lost a huge community(aka support). I know that most of them are still here, but I feel as if I am looked at differently, and treated differently or just not talked to by some people that I thought I used to be really close with because I didn't go to challenge this last semester because of a class. That really hurt too. I guess I don't understand that, but I feel as if it really shouldn't be like that. Same with some of the people at my church. I know I still have a few really good heart friends, but it is hard to not have that huge community of believers around me to help me. :) Past addictions came out of me, I was becoming more selfish with my earthly possessions and the littlest things were getting me really upset and I knew that when that happened, it was time to change. So, recently I have really been trying to make time for the Lord in my life. Not so much that I am becoming a bible pusher, but just enough to get me back to where my life was when I was in the word almost everyday, or where I would be leading worship and really find ways to connect that way. Ways I am changing? Well, I am trying even harder to listen to what he is telling me and not just going with what I want for myself, getting back in to quiet times, and I have recently been going to a new church that I have fallen in love with. My roommate who just moved out went there so I thought I would try it out and I really really like it! So, we will see if that is the permanent one for me, or not :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Future?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mean, of course God is STILL testing patience with me in the fact that I still have no boyfriend. Never have. Which at this time in life where my friends and I are in that group whose time it is to get engaged, married and have babies, that is hard. I have really only ever been on one date in my life and to look around and see my friends getting engaged and seeing them get married just weighs on me, but I am joyful at the same time because I am so excited to see who God has for me. I do want a boyfriend, but God is having me wait, so we will see when that Man comes! BUT, the big thing I was talking about is that in August, I am officially moving back to Newton. It is so bittersweet, because I truly love Manhattan, but I really feel like God is calling me back to Newton. After 5 years up here, it is a second home, and I am leaving so many things, so I am going to really treat these last 9 months that I have up here like gold. :) Clearly it isn't that far away so I am not leaving it for good. I have such a wonderful calling there, as far as my photography business, so I am excited to see where that leads also! So, in August, I will be moving away from the beautiful city of Manhappiness and moving back to the wonderful city of Newton. :) So much sadness and so much excitement all in one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And as far as some other things, I am reading over that list again and realized that I am blessed. I know I end up saying that a lot, but really I am. I know that my life isn't perfect. It really is far from perfect, but I know that i am blessed. I have two AMAZING women as roommates (which one moved out, but thanks to technology we can still talk), I have a wonderful job, that yes it is hard, but I love it. I have a wonderful mom and sister who I can talk to them about anything, or we can be down each others throats and fight like every other family, but we are still the best of friends and always end with laughter. I have wonderful wonderful wonderful friends here that I can just talk to, or laugh with, or craft with and be myself with. I live in a great house with the most precious, caring, loving family that I have ever met upstairs that will do anything for you, I have wonderful families in my life (like <a href="http://thesapps.blogspot.com/">the Sapps</a>, <a href="http://cherishedmystery.blogspot.com/">the Classens</a>, the Montanos, and the Geracis). I look at my life, and I know that people don't have that and I am just blessed. With the things that have been going on in the world earlier, just tell those loved ones how much you love them and squeeze them a little tighter, it is hard, but we never know when our last days on this earth will be!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, that is all for now. I am hoping to keep up with blogging better than I have been! It is good for my heart. So, thank you for sticking with me if you did and I promise that every post from now on will not be this long! :)</span></div>

So, yes. I didn't blog the whole entire summer. Holy moly. I am awesome. Ok, maybe lame, but to each his own. ;) This summer was full of ups and downs (like always), work, moving, work, going home, coming back, work, moving, and some more work. :) Right now, I am in the process of moving into the Claussens basement and so far, I am loving it. The Claussens are a phenomenal family and I can already feel that living with them will help my faith grow. :D Super excited for that. I will put pictures up as soon as I am done unpacking and I will put some updates of the summer, but now, it is off to finish unpacking!

So, most of you know the little <a href="http://thesapps.blogspot.com/">Sapp</a> girls from recent posts, well let me just tell you. These girlies are truly some of my favorite children. I have loved babysitting them the past two summers and through out the last couple of years. They are growing into such smart, beautiful girls and I can't wait to see what God does in their lives! I know it will be grand! I hope that I can stay in their lives for a while.Well, I posted a picture of Josie and I in yesterday's post, but we took a lot, so I decided to post more of them for a fun, simple post. =) Josie is truly like a little version of me. I love it and I just love her. I don't know what it is, but we just feed off of each other all the time and she just warms my heart when she runs to me in excitement, or brings my camera to me and tells me that we are going to take funny face pictures, or just wants me to read to her (this is the most popular choice). Love. Very rarely, I get some goofy shots with Malia, so I am posting some of those too, but the other night at the bbq, Jos and I probably took about 50 or so pictures together because she just kept asking for pictures and kept making faces! How could I say no to that?! Here you go!</div>

Tis the season for goodbyes. Oy vey. Well, it is good, but let me just tell you, this year it is probably one of the hardest. I am saying goodbye to roommates that have become family, a worship team of brothers and sisters that have made such an impact on my life, and just telling old friends goodbye and not knowing when I will see them. It is hard. I don't mind growing up, but I just want all of us to live around each other and it will all be grand. =) Whale. I know that isn't going to happen, so I guess I will just deal with my friends graduating and moving away and just soaking in all of these moments we have left together! Here are some pictures of some of the 'lasts' that have been happening. =)</div>

(Just a warning. This will be a fairly long post. Sorry!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Much of you know that I have been on the Christian Challenge worship team for the last 3 years of my college career. Let me just tell you. There have been different people trinkling in and out while I have been on it, but every year, a new family grows and that family becomes such a blessing to me every year. Casey and I started the same year (our sophomore year) and she is the only other student that has been with me and I just am so blessed by her as a person. I love getting new challenges every year and going through different books, or books of the bible. One of my favorite things that has come out of this is the girl time we get to have every other week. Oh my. These women in this group literally no everything about me and still love me! I love getting to know them all on a heart level and learn what I can pray for them, or how I can help encourage them, or just how I can love them more. There are always tears (ok, mostly from me, but still) and you can guarantee there is always laughter. Welp. Last night was the last night that I will officially be in the group. The group yesterday consisted of Casey and I sharing what are plans are for the summer, and then basically asking what we would like prayers for in the future and next year. Then, we took time and they prayed over each of us. After that, we went around and found out what everyone is doing for the summer and took time praying for them too. Every year, we leave for the summer, a family and then we join back together at the beginning of next year and when I left last night, I guess that didn't sink in until later, but I am so sad to see this time of my life past. These people are my family and I love that I have gained so many deep brothers and sisters through all of the years I was on the team. Amazing. That is the word that comes to my mind. I have seen myself and others grow so much in the Lord and I just am so inspired by everyone. Every year. Through this family, I have also had the awesome opportunity to get to know the <a href="http://thesapps.blogspot.com/">Sapp</a> family. Nate and Erika are two of the most understanding, loving, caring, inspirational, amazing people. (Just to name a few traits) They are always there for you when you need them and I have had the amazing opportunity to also get to know their daughters and love on them every summer and during the school year. I have loved watching these girls grow into little girls that are beautiful and wanting to know the Lord. Some of the things that they say sometimes shock me because they make me want to learn more. They have such a hunger for knowledge. I love it. I just love this family with all of my heart. This whole experience has been such a blessing and I am just so thankful that I had this opportunity. =)</div>

Yeah, I really am slacking on all of these posts! Geeze! SO much has happened in a month and a half-ish! Mal and I planned and hosted a formal for Challenge, I have taken some family pictures, I have babysat the girls I love so much, I have taken engagement pictures for an amazing couple, I have been up and down with emotions (like always) =), Our church at home got a new pastor, I have recently started thinking about my future A LOT, I am getting ready to help lead worship with the worship team for the last time (well at least while I am a member of the team), a lot of my friends and classmates are getting ready to graduate, so that makes the future seem a lot more real than it has for a while, and much more, but I can't really think of them right now. =) Anyway, this last month and a halfish, (or however long it has been) has been so good, yet kind of bad at the same time. I feel like the devil has hit me with my depression so so hard this last month, so I have lost a lot of sleep, and that kind of kick starts it again. But, let me tell you, I live with and around some of the most amazing people that I am blessed to call friends. They will just sit with me and either let me cry, or make me laugh, or just do anything to make me feel better. It is awesome and I am so truly blessed. =) So, I decided to put a whole lot of pictures together in collages to show you what kind of has been going on. Deal?</div>

Yeah, right now I am kind of lacking on this whole blog thing, but there is a lot going on! Oy! With life being a crazy as it is, I do know for sure that God is testing my trust in him. For this semester, my bible study leader had us think of one word to have as our word for the semester to keep us focused throughout the rest of the school year. My word was peace. Peace with myself, peace with school, peace with family stuff, peace with relationships of any kind, and just peace in everyday life. I have realized that I am so stressed about the future that my anxiety is acting up and then that sets off my depression and that is no good very bad, that I haven't really been focused on the present day like I should be. So, I just want to be really thankful for what I have at the moment and make sure that I am thanking Jesus for that every second that I can. Let's just say hat hasn't been the easiest thing in my life, but I can definitely feel myself growing and my confidence growing, which for me and my history, is huge. =) There have been so many ups and downs the past couple of weeks, that it is easy to thank him in the good times, but I have noticed that it is a lot harder in the tougher times and some of those times have for sure hit, whether it is financial, family things and everything going on, or just random things. So, some of the things that I am thankful for right now are definitely my roommates, the relationships I have with people, my family, my bible study family, my job, my health and just the little things that God puts in my life. =) One of my favorite verses that I have been really meditating on is:</div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><b><span>"Are you tired?

Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." -Matt 11:28-30 (The Message)</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><b><span><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">On a side note, if you ever want to get a little pick me up, babysit the <a href="http://thesapps.blogspot.com/">Sapp</a> girls. Well, ok, not everyone can just go babysit them, but let me tell you. This family is such a huge blessing to me and these girls can brighten any of my darkest days. Last night I was needing a little pick me up, and Nate was taking Erika out for her birthday, so I got to babysit these three. =) I took my laptop over to their house because I didn't really know how late they would be out, but then the girls wanted to watch some sound of music clips and then we played "Going Ape" (By the way, if you have children, you must buy this game. So fun!) and then we took some pictures with my webcam. Even little Aliza joined in some! =) Here are some of the fun ones!</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDm5AhtLjPvf1Wz7oims546t0H5w7gy8tiaVY3f95bubMc7858KeyHJy_x77-htPAEN0b_rK2-fe5KQuvQ1q6C1x6CLylOTGdQj79JekxpyjMopDmC99L-i8Aat2e2pYUUe_P5C8S6_zU/s1600/120204-185449.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4o5SwZ7ysoUiJdQAOueoN0x4ccUCQm0wdx-0cG-l0aFfk3LF4HcgDcBA3fu1kvMgJQcn05qNPvBWYeaGkWLFvNfD6BuO0zEEIhsLbPwgyTJys2pq_SeqAnjXsVG_fSVGc-OPM8Olv0Ag/s1600/120204-184440.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLpjWoq-KoQO2t693uJ7BE-ZV1vYsvjbl_gt53r92oUgWhDYlcXQ-Z7xAFhIcvIGjbfITfJzcPLsauiM_lHDaHbkSEgMw22R2MZCzEdjMnuB0T1ZktGZsuUmEqO1ZSeS4bdTx-lTp-OM/s1600/120204-184020.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jqqLBZ8ZJ0qYU4i5bNK-Clocy6OPugoCjiYeyDsHy0lN4ZdN1NBwz6hMDV5HM6xCqW183amOd4SHo-bg0uI1Cv1NA-j6RpbcpOneq6BtaYsTF8Lxsdwn0O7eepwfJtque7qZHr0x_pI/s1600/120204-182715.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVjLQDkWylqii48OozNr5vRcAZR_EibA1IO__go9_D0BDVXhSzllIfBXVZBv-0JQW0dOHLBpVHzWMtZt62U09g-4y7VQt4Rtxy-4jshLNwzYHwGxYrlHpUv-EAowCaK09LE4cpuayXAg/s1600/120204-182653.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVjLQDkWylqii48OozNr5vRcAZR_EibA1IO__go9_D0BDVXhSzllIfBXVZBv-0JQW0dOHLBpVHzWMtZt62U09g-4y7VQt4Rtxy-4jshLNwzYHwGxYrlHpUv-EAowCaK09LE4cpuayXAg/s400/120204-182653.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705873679491874930" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jqqLBZ8ZJ0qYU4i5bNK-Clocy6OPugoCjiYeyDsHy0lN4ZdN1NBwz6hMDV5HM6xCqW183amOd4SHo-bg0uI1Cv1NA-j6RpbcpOneq6BtaYsTF8Lxsdwn0O7eepwfJtque7qZHr0x_pI/s1600/120204-182715.bmp" style="text-align: left; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jqqLBZ8ZJ0qYU4i5bNK-Clocy6OPugoCjiYeyDsHy0lN4ZdN1NBwz6hMDV5HM6xCqW183amOd4SHo-bg0uI1Cv1NA-j6RpbcpOneq6BtaYsTF8Lxsdwn0O7eepwfJtque7qZHr0x_pI/s400/120204-182715.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705873676590607234" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLpjWoq-KoQO2t693uJ7BE-ZV1vYsvjbl_gt53r92oUgWhDYlcXQ-Z7xAFhIcvIGjbfITfJzcPLsauiM_lHDaHbkSEgMw22R2MZCzEdjMnuB0T1ZktGZsuUmEqO1ZSeS4bdTx-lTp-OM/s1600/120204-184020.bmp" style="text-align: left; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLpjWoq-KoQO2t693uJ7BE-ZV1vYsvjbl_gt53r92oUgWhDYlcXQ-Z7xAFhIcvIGjbfITfJzcPLsauiM_lHDaHbkSEgMw22R2MZCzEdjMnuB0T1ZktGZsuUmEqO1ZSeS4bdTx-lTp-OM/s400/120204-184020.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705873676969994258" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4o5SwZ7ysoUiJdQAOueoN0x4ccUCQm0wdx-0cG-l0aFfk3LF4HcgDcBA3fu1kvMgJQcn05qNPvBWYeaGkWLFvNfD6BuO0zEEIhsLbPwgyTJys2pq_SeqAnjXsVG_fSVGc-OPM8Olv0Ag/s1600/120204-184440.bmp" style="text-align: left; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4o5SwZ7ysoUiJdQAOueoN0x4ccUCQm0wdx-0cG-l0aFfk3LF4HcgDcBA3fu1kvMgJQcn05qNPvBWYeaGkWLFvNfD6BuO0zEEIhsLbPwgyTJys2pq_SeqAnjXsVG_fSVGc-OPM8Olv0Ag/s400/120204-184440.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705873664952582370" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The beautiful Sapp girls!

Yeah, I have been lacking with this whole posting thing. Sorry about that! A LOT has been happening! Well, my computer crashing is one of the bigger things, that is why there has been a lack of posts. I have been using my roomie's computer to get by. =) Since my absence, I have been taking pictures of adorable children, awesome families and other random stuff and during the editing of these, I think my computer decided that it officially hated me for all of the memory I was taking up, so it crashed, but I made a huge step in the business direction and I was able to use the money that I have been saving up from my art show, and photo sessions and bought a new laptop STRICTLY for pictures and editing. I am so excited to get it! =) Business aside, my break has been overall pretty good! It started with Tacky Sweater night at Christmas Challenge, babysitting a couple of my favorite girls, and mostly staying in Manhattan for the majority, but the *combined* 2ish weeks at home were really good. This year's Christmas' was one of the best that I can remember. I don't know what it was about it, but it was just awesome. Started with the Akers family Christmas at the Diamond W Wranglers Christmas show in Cowtown. How fun! Then, at our church we had our Evening in December where, Emily and I sang together and we definitely showed how fun we are and dressed as twins. haha, it was awesome. =) Fun times. Then we went over the Grandpa's and this year was another emotional year. DEFINITELY not as emotional as last year, but Grandpa gave us all a special gift again that kind of hit an emotion button. My grandma had an Indian jeweler that she LOVED and Grandpa had that jeweler make all of us girls one of a kind necklaces. They are beautiful! Then, we had a small Christmas this year according to presents, but we really didn't care. Emily and I are to the age where that isn't what Christmas is about and I think that helped. =) Then, on Christmas day, Carrie got to be with us ALLLL day. It was awesome! Now that she has been with us on Thanksgiving, and Christmas, which holiday is next?! Hmmmmmm. haha, Christmas day was awesome though. Very relaxing and I think exactly what all of us needed. We watched about 4.5 Christmas movies while we were working on our annual christmas puzzle. Let me tell you, it was good Carrie was here this year. Those Schulz's love their puzzles and she was a machine! ;) Needless to say, Christmas was awesome and I actually didn't want to come back to Manhattan. BUT, I got back and it has been good, other than me being home alone until January 3, but I did get a lot of quiet time and time to think. New Years kind of hit hard this year for us and I let my depression get the best of me, but Mom and Em came up and spent the evening, night and morning with me and it helped <b>a lot </b>and now Brittany is back, and things are starting to get back to normal. =) Here are some pictures that I took off of my facebook because I couldn't really upload them from my computer. =) Enjoy!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>(Sorry for the complete random post.)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Tacky Sweater Christmas Challenge!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-zmjfw1aLV-dpDEhU85tphSSo9942ITa8_F13yj1CKUjX_N8m8IOiWQXL-BnnbMn0O78p3HoGGI2C0Ku2fLk7sUlEBbESmd5cZ36BhvM2ldj9OXVhYQzkQ_lz4JalG8yweBtCKScp6FE/s1600/376248_2469439253929_1190760074_32233821_733526464_n.jpg" style="text-align: left; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-zmjfw1aLV-dpDEhU85tphSSo9942ITa8_F13yj1CKUjX_N8m8IOiWQXL-BnnbMn0O78p3HoGGI2C0Ku2fLk7sUlEBbESmd5cZ36BhvM2ldj9OXVhYQzkQ_lz4JalG8yweBtCKScp6FE/s400/376248_2469439253929_1190760074_32233821_733526464_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695844052556136850" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Roomie and I with our homemade tacky sweaters! =)</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnSIlO4JFXM2XP0vbaGAw5N8zx8vwzhtSEen6hOIADWVWkktzHfYFz-wDVjfg8zzbH2mmZaDrkD2dgNnLuIp4YAV6a8MNWGfXCTdT8RU2zb5i3T9z287ZJ8jHbYhFJx9XQtXPL3UDL18/s1600/393315_2469441053974_1190760074_32233827_1029070029_n.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnSIlO4JFXM2XP0vbaGAw5N8zx8vwzhtSEen6hOIADWVWkktzHfYFz-wDVjfg8zzbH2mmZaDrkD2dgNnLuIp4YAV6a8MNWGfXCTdT8RU2zb5i3T9z287ZJ8jHbYhFJx9XQtXPL3UDL18/s400/393315_2469441053974_1190760074_32233827_1029070029_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695842638990444674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Me and the awesome guys of the worship team.

I hope that you had a great great GREAT Thanksgiving whether it was with friends, Family, or co-workers! I wish that mine would have been a little longer, but that is what I get for working at a place that has a great black friday sale and they want us to be there at 5 in the morning and stay until 5 in the evening. Whew. What a day that was! Who knew Menard's in Manhattan would be that packed?! I surely didn't! Well, before that, I was at home for Wednesday and Thursday. I didn't get much of a break because I also had class until Tuesday, but I still got SOME time at home, so that was fun. =) Well, On Black Friday, we had a dessert day, which is basically a dessert potluck. SO, I found a recipe online for Maple Frosted Pumpkin Blondies and I just HAD to try to make them! They were actually delicious! Well, I love anything and pretty much everything that has pumpkin in it, so how could I not like these!? So, here are the steps to making them! I would HIGHLY recommend making these. =)</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>(Sorry this is a long post!)</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Preheat to 350</b></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKe1v7sVbGB3_6JGy4ABCbBZ1yOiE8UmWYBOwvtFMWNcX6xZh1Sa_oVgN9jxASY2vv6VhfTJnT7qTmmX3aQpYUMjqow7uj7ZFwHC133gL2vB47JrXnWNbqm1paJf6O1KZAvR3cdQ4NN58/s1600/IMG_2210.CR2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKe1v7sVbGB3_6JGy4ABCbBZ1yOiE8UmWYBOwvtFMWNcX6xZh1Sa_oVgN9jxASY2vv6VhfTJnT7qTmmX3aQpYUMjqow7uj7ZFwHC133gL2vB47JrXnWNbqm1paJf6O1KZAvR3cdQ4NN58/s400/IMG_2210.CR2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680596585556054018" /></b></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Ingredients you'll need!</b></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDC6ypPfDaD2vbBPcHGfD0W5m_H3xWlFlOcuTvYjI6Z4zVVUWZdu7LcbJGEXxefEm33yYS8YYXHVWCGaXl3gysKdL658ewjrFkS50bS03WpoXINP0LD_EU7m20NdQA__byXwjxyF-sApg/s1600/IMG_2215.CR2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDC6ypPfDaD2vbBPcHGfD0W5m_H3xWlFlOcuTvYjI6Z4zVVUWZdu7LcbJGEXxefEm33yYS8YYXHVWCGaXl3gysKdL658ewjrFkS50bS03WpoXINP0LD_EU7m20NdQA__byXwjxyF-sApg/s400/IMG_2215.CR2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680596584615114866" /></b></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Having fun dishes will help! =)</b></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_EIlYHzKwIvbfaV5NJXCDTCBoZFAyh5VTr8rvDs8OU1NMYgkhm52rgecY1379jpdCk_H2kAlYrw1hDKU7jX01GV1RldJe1mfT5jfyW24v7arTyplVri9bmMlrb0BRjl5g3qFU9ZWOvg/s1600/IMG_2221s.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_EIlYHzKwIvbfaV5NJXCDTCBoZFAyh5VTr8rvDs8OU1NMYgkhm52rgecY1379jpdCk_H2kAlYrw1hDKU7jX01GV1RldJe1mfT5jfyW24v7arTyplVri9bmMlrb0BRjl5g3qFU9ZWOvg/s400/IMG_2221s.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680596579139608194" /></b></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Sorry for my like month absence from this. I have been actually pretty busy and my mind just hasn't been focused on writing blog posts... I don't even really know how many people read this, so I don't think I am really letting a lot of people down. Haha =) I just had a 'Lily moment' from The Princess Diaries where she said that her cable show only reached 12 viewers. Maybe that is like this? Oh well, that was a pointless rambling session. Anywho. I have recently became addicted to <a href="http://pinterest.com/errcaa/">www.pinterest.com</a>. It is basically a website that you can put in your interests and it is a virtual bulletin board of dreams, crafts, ideas and all around awesomeness. Well, while looking at it, it makes my creative side start to imagine a lot of stuff I can do someday! Well, I saw <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/294919892/">this</a> on one of the boards and instantly fell in love! I love love love love anything and everything to do with colors, and the next day I just decided that I had to do it. Brittany then told me that she had a friend that had done it and she wanted to do it too! Soooooo, about a month and a half later, we are doing it! So, I grabbed some crayons, a canvas, a bowl of pomegranate, a spoon, a hot glue gun and a hair dryer and went to town! We also had the KSU vs. Texas game on and that also helped. =) So, here is how you do it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First: Line your crayons up in how you want them on the canvas.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6gv4E_TIjkG_FF7Ql4ae1stMnA0nPkE5jFcJGKiJQMlcnoS7Zw2rv5ni5ebc7ajRMKfS89ctm9RSMGgs_jBmbZruPr6NxAp9bwLaW4c5ylf9lkgNejQ9g8mQDKM8kYA5Q76x-P3gg3_Y/s1600/IMG_2148.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6gv4E_TIjkG_FF7Ql4ae1stMnA0nPkE5jFcJGKiJQMlcnoS7Zw2rv5ni5ebc7ajRMKfS89ctm9RSMGgs_jBmbZruPr6NxAp9bwLaW4c5ylf9lkgNejQ9g8mQDKM8kYA5Q76x-P3gg3_Y/s400/IMG_2148.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676933432853500722" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Then, start hot gluing them to the canvas!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9rj7XB2AeqIFOKFakWzIiUd3jQaPc-wN_Np_vE_mrppc-7BNcjZrC6cETX1i3e5XA6t-uBcn6tzF2GF0X_ovb6oq-b2m3iixgJtfBoGlDGrqUWItop5ZC2BW42HmmNVr_wOcuadHK5U/s1600/IMG_2150.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9rj7XB2AeqIFOKFakWzIiUd3jQaPc-wN_Np_vE_mrppc-7BNcjZrC6cETX1i3e5XA6t-uBcn6tzF2GF0X_ovb6oq-b2m3iixgJtfBoGlDGrqUWItop5ZC2BW42HmmNVr_wOcuadHK5U/s400/IMG_2150.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676933424537239714" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">It takes a while.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_U_1p-LiRB8yK02Yu4TiK0g3i8RTUbVz2NMPMeQ15xh7c7OWGRVxPdWxfoZQax_yYTBOZQ5yvbJw5cnXJvgrkmGlQHixsXcMHSjZTjdCZIyzOT6F1DEDmFjcv0QdV6YW8yx_Jqkmsy7Q/s1600/IMG_2151.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_U_1p-LiRB8yK02Yu4TiK0g3i8RTUbVz2NMPMeQ15xh7c7OWGRVxPdWxfoZQax_yYTBOZQ5yvbJw5cnXJvgrkmGlQHixsXcMHSjZTjdCZIyzOT6F1DEDmFjcv0QdV6YW8yx_Jqkmsy7Q/s400/IMG_2151.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676933420315831090" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVa1c6J-h-tkL7rs1ZyrnjXl6K8W3SaMfUZ_orpUUz6fQvK9XFfhCpSFo9-bUO0vketZVbctcjgTntVuACM6bBe6TZ7ZDYpbt7x7O_EvcDRh0_Z8-hyfCmBBaFdQa36PV5XHUdDlO9jg/s1600/IMG_2154.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVa1c6J-h-tkL7rs1ZyrnjXl6K8W3SaMfUZ_orpUUz6fQvK9XFfhCpSFo9-bUO0vketZVbctcjgTntVuACM6bBe6TZ7ZDYpbt7x7O_EvcDRh0_Z8-hyfCmBBaFdQa36PV5XHUdDlO9jg/s400/IMG_2154.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676933418447113570" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Now, time to start blow drying!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFXU0EvlljvRp57BsJ3O1kNP7-mwTMj6_nn8g5oa8sTZbmNzrhi93gDoBPCV6Xu6qu5vhwU_Y796ouT51jOfZcwQNIzXFi8nZ2dUOF0Kj22Ubeq9GJI0I691c5lj65WX9fErqByO46Hk/s1600/IMG_2156.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFXU0EvlljvRp57BsJ3O1kNP7-mwTMj6_nn8g5oa8sTZbmNzrhi93gDoBPCV6Xu6qu5vhwU_Y796ouT51jOfZcwQNIzXFi8nZ2dUOF0Kj22Ubeq9GJI0I691c5lj65WX9fErqByO46Hk/s400/IMG_2156.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676931553299951026" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Woot!

Man. I am totally lacking on this thing I used to do called blogging... Well, nothing big has been happening in my life... Just loving it! =) Man, I look at people who are just miserable at work, or at school, or just in general, and I have a huge calmness come over me and realize that I am so blessed! Wow. I definitely take that for granted. Unfortunately. But, even though I have some TOUGH things that have happened and I am sure will happen in the future, I know that God's hand is on me and recently have really been thinking about my friendships also. I have met a lot of people in challenge, that are acquaintances, but not heart friends. God has truly blessed me in the area of heart friends though, not only the girls in my life group, or my brothers in Christ who are seriously amazing, but also in my house. The 5 other girls in my house bless me so incredibly much! They know me from the inside out. We all know what makes each other happy, and we know what makes each other sad. These girls are some of the biggest blessings in my life and they are true sisters.

We go every year, and to be honest, the past couple of years, I kind of am hesitant to go. Something inside of me just doesn't want to go because I think that every year, it is going to be the same routine, and I won't really learn anything. But, EVERY year, God shows me that I am wrong and this year, I learned so much. Our speaker, Paul Sabino, was up there on the list of favorites. Max Barnett will always be the first, he is just unbeatable, but this year, Paul was so easy to relate to, funny, real and just a great speaker all around. Every session held everyone's attention so well and it was awesome! Also, the worship team that led us was <a href="http://www.anthemworship.com/">Anthem</a>. They led us two years ago, and I just love to worship with them! They write the majority of the songs they perform, so it is fun to learn new songs and hear the lyrics and how powerful some of them are. Another awesome thing was that there were about 175 people from K-State alone that went! So great! Kind of (really) overwhelming, but awesome none the less. It is so great to see all of the freshmen that are getting involved with Challenge! So, once again, I was definitely wrong about what kind of weekend it would be, and I felt really good after that weekend, and I am still thinking about some of the things that Paul said.

It was wonderful! (Well, for the most part) On friday, we had the hall of fame stuff from my last post, and then on Saturday, my mom, sister and I drove around Newton and I got to take pictures of our wonderful, historic town. =) It was actually a lot of fun! First, we went to my grandpa's store. We took the longest there, but I pretty much took pictures of everything in there. It was awesome to explore it with my sister. We went up to the attic space, and into the basement. I don't remember ever going into the basement, so that was a fun new adventure! =) Here are some pictures of our lovely family store and then some Newton ones at the bottom!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qSTpYUVIWTPapjXLidSStkrhwuSVKJm_o__ih6CxorlUtFW0y1yx9ArWimLLj8Q62ZI4d6gl2mopbhQP6pb9eH-9gDZlQo-1ksb_ZYeTD1DJFXAFPrQ54SoLe1qcCCltTb2QnEbBmT0/s1600/IMG_9657.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

This friday was the day that my grandma and my grandpa were both inducted into our High School's Athletic Hall of Fame. The two of them were two of the main people who started this Hall of Fame, and I was so proud that I got to see them be inducted into it. It was a very sad night though, because Grandma wasn't there, and this was her baby. She was always always ALWAYS super prepared and organized for this. Every year, she would tell us stories about what was happening with the food, and who was getting inducted. It was also special, because I got to wear the necklace that was Grandma's that Grandpa gave me for Christmas and Emily got to wear her earrings. =) So, last night at the high school football game, we were supposed to walk out on the field during half time to accept the award with Grandpa for the both of them. Wellll, knowing Kansas, you never know what will happen or not. So, we got a lovely 50 minute rain delay, but after that, the game went on, we went and accepted the awards and then off to the reception for speeches and people! (By the way, NHS totally dominated.) It was great. So, going from happy, to sad, to proud, to sad, from laughter, to tears, and so on and so forth, it was a good night over all.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My sister and I ready for the game!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-16ML7UVNfzvsvpvn_OIo69uZeLr3TPwof7sw8DMhFRpLozUjqoBJsg1lJE1ol0h4GWje26yDZnccmb1cnPAjpS5S9M_2J7KUwfK8pfBFlRSVZs8SRVbswEq1m_T2e7aukmMJiDbH_zQ/s1600/IMG_9501s.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-16ML7UVNfzvsvpvn_OIo69uZeLr3TPwof7sw8DMhFRpLozUjqoBJsg1lJE1ol0h4GWje26yDZnccmb1cnPAjpS5S9M_2J7KUwfK8pfBFlRSVZs8SRVbswEq1m_T2e7aukmMJiDbH_zQ/s400/IMG_9501s.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650952097597124706" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My beautiful mother with her daughters!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_3thm1hCi7-rBD2XNGVRCJkEgRKH6e2E9gx4pf_AIOw8P9htnuBVZRwBJESnGaswE1CU4T8UBBhJJzxU42Wh3GKPo9JsLgleevS1oqGM7ycGcTif3td-SzSqUdwTQmxsGIpCUa-nek8/s1600/Hall+of+Fame+11.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_3thm1hCi7-rBD2XNGVRCJkEgRKH6e2E9gx4pf_AIOw8P9htnuBVZRwBJESnGaswE1CU4T8UBBhJJzxU42Wh3GKPo9JsLgleevS1oqGM7ycGcTif3td-SzSqUdwTQmxsGIpCUa-nek8/s400/Hall+of+Fame+11.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650952099357611266" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">They were having fun covering up during the rain.

A lot has happened since I last posted! Well, first of all, tomorrow I start my SENIOR year of college. What?! Can that reallllly be true? I don't feel like I have been here going on 4 years. Holy buckets batman. Anyway. Life has been busy to say the least! I have been working, I have been babysitting some of my favorite girls, making some yummy desserts with friends and the girls, been taking pictures, moving Brittany in to the basement (Woo!), going to leader training, moving freshmen in to the dorms, hosting a HUGE bbq at our house to kick off the school year, being tested by God, spending time with some friends and some more testing by God, first week of classes, first bible study and first challenge! It has been great. =) This past weekend, well technically starting on Thursday, and went through the weekend, was Christian Challenge leadership training! Oh, I just love love love all of it! It was a great time to see everyone that was gone over the summer, and to really learn some great things to help share the Gospel. =) Then, after move in on Saturday, we hosted a BBQ at our house! It was amazing! There were probably around a little more than 200 that showed up. It was awesome to see so many freshmen here, and oldies too! It was grand! So, here is a random picture post. =)</div><div style="text-align: center;">

Let me tell you, it was a very interesting way to wake up from a nap. The whole summer, we have been talking about us going and me taking pictures of her to practice taking senior portraits, or just portraits of one person! It was a lot of fun! When I went home last week, I found an awesome vintage suitcase that is in great condition and for my birthday, my mom bought me a really cute stool thing and so, after I woke up a little more, I charged my battery, gathered the props, beautified her and hit the road! =) We went to the train tracks/bridge thing on highway 24. Funny story actually, we were in the middle of some pictures and we all the sudden hear a train, so we clear the stuff off of the tracks and stand down towards the gate and about 3 minutes later, a train comes! It was actually very cool! Haha. Then, we packed up our stuff and head out to Tuttle! Here are some of my favorites from the day! =D</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZNdmvpiomJ08X9hYdI7ndy7L888nXBlUwmflodadhLwPd0sep9GTCk3qVhSGkBaggHt0zGsY_KHhF_tXWMnqzMIwyqAkbmsyCXNho4ZC-wQuu3hy2r2MMF686HOUB4KkA2ukhQ8w0OQ/s1600/Blog.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCtqzo432PWfvHMwxSVVSbJPOxU51SELnDXHyNANaeplhuB3IZ3KeTLe2LLN7EuuVMgRcnlBa69idmchia35HEAe019QWH-g_zXZTp0inqAxaZMD92Sq4eCsYZ066XfoYkGbpbFFbkqA/s1600/IMG_8748.CR2-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

My favorite flowers are tulips, daisies and sunflowers! I absolutely love the feeling of standing in a sunflower field. It is awesome. Looking out and seeing an endless sea of golden flowers. How breathtaking it is!! Well, on our way home from taking my stuff for my art show to the gallery, we found the most amazing field of sunflowers!

I hope that everyone had such an amazing 4th of July! I know I did! I was able to come home all week (minus a trip back for a day of work and a meeting) to Newton and I loved it! I have been needing a trip home for quite sometime. All I have been able to get lately were little 1 day quick visits that, quite frankly, were not cutting it. It has been swell! My cousin Jonny's best friend came from Seattle and it was great! It was like having a little piece of Jonny with us for the fourth again. =D It has also been a great time for the three of us to be together, aka, my mom, sister and I. There has been a lot of laughter and that truly is the best medicine. It has also been a great time to catch up on stuff going on with my art show! Not all of you know, but I am getting the amazing opportunity to co-host an art show in Halstead and I am so excited about it! My stuff will be going up tomorrow and it will be in the Gallery until the 20th of August, but we will have an actual show July 30. Here are some pictures of the week! Actually, they are from the fourth, we have yet to do a trio photo shoot, but enjoy my Fourth pics!! =D</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;">When we got there, we found this cutie in the pool</span></div></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha91rrDYzqbR8_jvah0WoGh9fZkgqqSGGtkc7QOg5kf_8xBYDozxEL0EorZu3XlLgDudj_9QBoo1tJgiktt_XTLDuQQidNR8upshfCKT3hQN3InmMN-ThTv-edtIU7F-djOIOPktOj3gU/s1600/IMG_7966.CR2.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627191748889486098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha91rrDYzqbR8_jvah0WoGh9fZkgqqSGGtkc7QOg5kf_8xBYDozxEL0EorZu3XlLgDudj_9QBoo1tJgiktt_XTLDuQQidNR8upshfCKT3hQN3InmMN-ThTv-edtIU7F-djOIOPktOj3gU/s400/IMG_7966.CR2.jpg" /><br /></span><br /><p align="center"></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;">This cutie was taking a nap, and didn't like the big boom that woke her up<br /></span></p><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVd-SaYG5ycbLneJE9r7F_wNeuYG2wTJlJQbGXvvZVhjwVgkJvwj8VrWhUl6Pr0ptyHnsmJmGTfMLtAOEXDG9MNuqowBMcZiXwNk4v69X0gy08JM5iFSyl-5easoVGXrSF5AS68kYCh8/s1600/IMG_7970.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627191739179908770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVd-SaYG5ycbLneJE9r7F_wNeuYG2wTJlJQbGXvvZVhjwVgkJvwj8VrWhUl6Pr0ptyHnsmJmGTfMLtAOEXDG9MNuqowBMcZiXwNk4v69X0gy08JM5iFSyl-5easoVGXrSF5AS68kYCh8/s400/IMG_7970.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> And this little angel was just precious!!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtyxvLjXim_F8OaJJnNcF4CljIsTPo6gygTxWB7U8C6sQ6uLRLLNKQrdboLGEehHjCzUhYMOhW9SZHfGnodmtIb1pZG9v3r6905O7yWDous61BeHx3H1891pyxqlqhvI5At5VZwrqIOI/s1600/IMG_7973.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627191735245615202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtyxvLjXim_F8OaJJnNcF4CljIsTPo6gygTxWB7U8C6sQ6uLRLLNKQrdboLGEehHjCzUhYMOhW9SZHfGnodmtIb1pZG9v3r6905O7yWDous61BeHx3H1891pyxqlqhvI5At5VZwrqIOI/s400/IMG_7973.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Then it was time for our annual tradition!
