I'm here!! Really :) I didn't fall off the face of the Earth!

Hello :)

So, I've been neglecting this a bit, but really, it's paid off.  I got 98% (49/50) on my Stats Midterm, and all my homework assignments have been in the high 90%'s to 100%, the house is still clean, I've been making it to church, and I even had some hang-out/visit times! So I've been busy, but good. I'm kinda tired after the crazy week/weekend I had, but life is good and I'm going to get a good sleep tonight and get back on track.

So I had a good hang-out with a friend and we went for a wonderful supper and then a drive and just re-connected (we both have crazy lives so it had been months) and that was awesome.  That was about a week and a half ago now, and then I was busy prepping for the midterm and getting assignments done, then on Friday I was the assistant photographer for a lovely wedding and we had lots of fun shooting in the mall, and I can't wait to see all the photo's, but mine were pretty sweet, and I did post up a few samples even though I'm busy and won't be working on the photo's, they all go to Lauri, but if you're curious, they're here and they're cool, and while you're there you should "Like" my artist page... just saying :D 

So then I was pretty tuckered out, and Saturday was stats homework, house cleaning, and early to bed so I could get to Church in the morning.  And we did make it, and it was really good.  Good message on God's value system versus ours, and hoarding, and all sorts of stuff, and it was really good, and the worship focused on the fire of God and stuff.  Yeah!  Anyhow, so we made it to church (yeah for 3 Sundays in a row!) and then we got groceries, then another friend came over for lunch, and then we played games, and then we chatted till past my bedtime, and it was all good. :D

Today I went to school, got the wonderful news about my awesome midterm mark, and got my assignment done and handed in, then came home and kinda just vegged, watched Francis Chan clips, like this one:

(And man were these good little messages..... I do not want to live my life like that, but some days I'm sure I start to grab the beam instead of doing something awesome!)

And then I went upstairs and sang with my mom while she practised songs on the piano, and then we had supper, and now I'm blogging then heading to bed.

Oh, and we have a new set up for our dining room making it far more effective.  Before we had two tables both covered in food and sihes and generally just being used for storage of things, and not being used as a table, so we sent one table home with Ryan's brother and his wife, and the other table is in the living room as a games table, and then we have shelves and a "new" (hand-me-down) table that is functioning as, yeah, you guessed it, a table! *Gasp* Wow!  It's pretty exciting over here anyway :D

So I just figured I'd share a couple photo collages I put together for my project... I've been taking photo's, just hadn't had time to do anything with them until today...

 So here's one, this is for this week... well, I guess for last week (gah this month is flying by)... I went for a walk to Blockbuster to pick up the Lord of the Rings extended Trilogy Blu-Rays set, complete with "The One Ring"... and I walked all the there and back in my new Vibram Five-Fingers shoes, which I LOVE!... if you're wondering what those are click here... I totally never want to wear anything else.  But anyways... so I walked/jogged (since the mosquito's were REALLY trying to eat me) all the way there and back and was so proud of myself.  And I did it all dressed up all cute and french-y... You can't see it here, but I'm wearing my Eiffel tower earrings... and I decided to take a shot of the "field" I walked through, and of the construction mess on our road.... So yeah, that was one of my little adventures last week :D

And this is a collage of one photo I took while I was dying my hair the week before last week.  I tried the foam/mousse stuff, and I liked it.  My hair is pretty much the same as it was, minus the darker-ish roots that were coming in... but yeah, I thought the photo was kinda fun, and decided to totally play with it, then liked so many of the versions I decided to make a collage.  Really, one of these days I will just post one photo and be done with it.  I will try.

So that pretty much sums everything up for right now... I don't want this to drag on.  I hope you are all enjoying your summer and God bless!!!!
