My Yard

It's been a year since I've been in my new home. A year ago I moved in with a friend. The place has a really nice yard when it's maintained. Rain has come early this year and it has turned everyting green. Today we were able to borrow a lawnmower so here are new pictures of our yard. I do wish I could enjoy it more but this school year has been a lot different.

My favorite place to talk on the phone is on our bench swing. Well...that is when the mosquitos aren't out. It seems they always find me and then I find red bumps all over cause they like to bit me.

The Lord has truly blessed me with the location of my home. And He has really blessed me since I really love it here when everything is green. A month ago everything was dry but the Lord blessed His creation with rain. And I love it. He know I needed that encouragement.

First Attempt

Here I go...my first blog. I'm back to my roots. Yup, I'm back to my home town...but I never thought I'd be living right across the street from the beach. Now when I mean right across, yes that is literal. The Lord has blessed me with a great house and awesome roommate.

After I came back in 05 everything is busy busy busy. I'm now a teacher at the school I attended in elementary. Believe it or not, it's hard to live in Hawaii. Actually I got island fever and had to leave. After 4 years at college, I'm not used to not having to travel during breaks. To help with my island fever, I left the island a little over a month ago and traveled up to the frozen tundra, Northland Baptist Bible College for a week. Only those of you familiar with Northland understand the irony. Yes. I know, why does a person from Hawaii vacation in Wisconsin? Well...the Lord has used that place in my life and I needed somewhere encouraging to go to. Northland was that place. Besides it was the most profitable place to be. I was able to see over 40 of my college friends. I thank the Lord for that opportunity. Sad to say though, I'll probably never see most of them again...unless I become a world traveler. But that's not happening.
