Hi. I am not really giggling, but I feel like it would be funny if I were. So, lets just pretend.
This week has been pretty full. My life doesn't seem too hectic, it's on the line of having just enough, or not enough to do. I still have to find more work somewhere, hopefully at the Res. Restaurants. I am looking for another 10+ hours somewhere!!! :)
So far I am enjoying my food service jobs. Tues. and Thurs. I made Wraps in Robinson, and Today in Carey I swept, stocked, and served (there wasn't really anything for me to do so I kept getting switched around). Later this evening I am working in Merill... where I will clean some more. I have a blister on my thumb from the two hours of sweeping I did. Other than the blister this week has been GREAT! I love making food and serving people!!! I met knew friends, and got free meals! YAY!
Now I am headed home for some cleaning, packing, and showering... I am very dirty. Tonight I am going to Grass Lake for a retreat with IV. It used to be called Genesis, but now it is called Sanctuary. I am looking forward to getting closer to my small group, and catching up with other friends that I haven't really talked to yet this semester. I hear there is a pool and hot tub at the conference center, so I am very excited!!!
Last weekend I did the Leadership Summit, and it went really well! The speakers were enlightening, and I got to meet some good people, specifically middle-aged married men. I got to know the pastor more and it was really inspiring to hear some of his passions and convictions in a more personal setting. The biggest thing I took away from the weekend was this; I am OK where I am... being that I am in a point in my life where I don't know what the heck is ahead of me. I have a blank piece of paper in front of me and I can do so many things with it. The key to staying on the right path is looking to God for guidance, keeping Him as my light and my path maker, and submitting to him some of my wishes if need be. I felt very encouraged to use my open-mind about my future to the best of my ability to give God the most glory!!! YAY for affirmation!!! Thanks Jesus!
Ok, so now I am going to go home and do all of my stuff before my next shift!

Peanut Butter Toast
Hi everyone!!!
So, lately I have been wanting peanut butter toast about 5 times a day. Maybe it's working at the daycare and rediscovering my love for peanut butter and jelly. Maybe I just need some nuts in my life! Who knows... all I know is I like it, I like it a lot.
So, my job search continues, but I have made some headway. So far I am employed in five different places, three of them being in the Residential Restaurants on campus. I wish I could get a higher paying job somewhere, but this is going to have to work for now. I still haven't heard from the church about the position I applied for because they haven't done anything about it yet. It is somewhat frustraing, but perhaps God is trying to teach me something!
So, back to my jobs. They are as follows; Day Care worker Mon. and Wed., Day Care Aide Mon., Tues. and every other Sun. night, Baker Assistant (Krista, I had to hold myself from laughing when I signed up for this one) every other Friday morning, Dining room worker every other Friday lunchtime, Custodial work Every other Friday evening, Exposition person Tuesday and Thursday lunch time, not to mention two shifts I've already picked up for greeter and variable in Carey Dining commons. For those of you familiar with CMU I am working in Robinson, Towers and Merrill Dining Commons!! WOOT! Basically I am all over the place. My task now is to not mess up when I work where!!
So now that I will have 44-54ish hours of obligatedwork time per week, plus whatever shifts I pick up on top of that, and the four hours of class every week, I'll have to make sure to have some fun with the free time I have !!! Man-oh-man! The craziness of it all!
Other than working and trying to find jobs, I have been working on finances, organizing my life, cleaning, going to church and InterVarsity, hanging out with friends, and playing on the internet. It's acctually been a nice start to the semester. My palm pilot and I have become good friends and will continue to be over the next 15 weeks!
Next on my plate is to get my student loan, hopefully a scholarship or two, and find a second internship!! I want my internship to be somewhere totally sweet, so that's what I'll be looking for.
Photos from my birthday dinner will be coming soon. Here is a picture of my baby puppy "Storm"(I might change her name). I will get her once I live in a place where I can have a doggie. She is very small and cute and soft.
This is Storm showing you her good side!
These are 3/4 of the babies, Storm is on the left.
This is Storm Sleeping... zzz...
This is Princess, Storms Mom riding on the Mini-chopper!!
A close-up with her hott goggles!!
This is Spike, Storms Daddy. He is trying to look
handsome and thoughtful
So, that's my life minus my birthday pictures with some added doggy fun!
Oh yeah! This weekend I am doing a conference at church called Leadership Summit. Bill Hybels, who wrote Too Busy Not to Pray (a brilliant book) is speaking tonight. Tomorrow, John Maxwell, Ken Blanchard, my pastor, and Rick Warren, author of Purpose Driven Life are all speaking! I am looking forward to getting a spiritual boost as well as learn some sweet stuff from smart people! Hopefully I'll see some friends and make some new ones! YESSS!!!
Have a GREAT weekend!!!

OH MAN!!! What a New Year!!!
PRESENTING: DAH DAH DAH DAAAAHHH!!!! Cute Couple # 1!!!!
Well folks it finally happened!!! Jessica Relitz and James Allen are engaged!!!! He did it on New Years Eve and Jessica wasn't expecting a thing. Actually a few hours prior she was telling me they wouldn't be engaged until spring time.If you go here you can see the party hat's that he wrote "will you marry me?" on, as well as the ring, happy engagment pics and Sophie the pup moping. It's all so exciting and romantic and lovely! I can't wait to squeeze them both very tightly!!
In other news, I have a cold and feel very sad that break is almost over. Although I have been working I have had a little bit of an excuse to slightly slack, and had gift money to spend and a chance to travel and hang out. Soon it will be on to other tasks like work, and more work.
Tricia is leaving today after staying almost a week. It has been an enjoyable adventure to have her around. We went up to Manistee for New Years eve, sat around and watched TV, and both of us got sick with different ailments throughout her time here!! It's been great!!
Tomorrow night or Friday Morning I am going home for a last Hoorah. I am celebrating my birthday and visiting the Griffins! I am very excited to end the break with some good quality time that includes food, ice cream cake, Hobby Lobby, the Griffin pants, my bubby, setting my cat free in the orchard, my baby girl, and presents!!!! It should be a good one!
PEACE YO.
