Whew.

Haven't blogged in a while. But not a lot has gone on really. My birthday was Tuesday but my birthday week started on Monday and will continue through Sunday. I have been having to deal with a lot of things spiritually as well. But that's been about it.

My mom came up on Monday and she spent the day with me for my birthday. We went to eat lunch at Stromboli's and then went to Columbus to Book-A-Million for my nook! That I am now completely obsessed with. It's almost embarrassing. But you can do all kinds of things on a nook. You can get on Facebook, play Sudoku, read, listen to music, etc. It's multifunctional and great. Then on Tuesday, I woke up to our living room completely decorated in red streamers and balloons and a red carpet (because I am a star!). Andrea and Tracy had stayed up until six that morning decorating for my birthday. They are so dedicated and I love them. I went to my car to drive to class and they had even filled my car with balloons. That night I was alone because everyone had night class but it was totally made up for with Andrea's homemade ice cream cake. Krista gave me some precious earrings that I love and I got a note from Andrea, Tracy, and Brittany saying that their gift would be in soon. Wednesday, tornadoes were about. But did that stop everyone from taking me out for my birthday dinner? No way. We went to Grumpy's for BBQ but left a little early because there was a monsoon brewing outside. So Tracy, Andrea, Tyler, and I came home for a huge round of Guesstures. Best round yet because Andrea and I finally got to win. However, Tyler was able to officially win everyone over with his belly dancing. Today, has been the greatest day ever. Because Andrea, Tracy, and Brittany's gift finally came in. They got me an eno!!!!!! Red. Just the color I wanted. It's so beautiful. But I couldn't even go outside to play with it because it was once again storming outside. But I know what I will be doing ALL weekend long.

Tomorrow, I go home for Easter. I can't wait because I haven't been back to Madison since Spring Break. Well, it's definitely not Madison that I miss but I really miss my family and friends. So I'm excited I am going to see them. My mom and I are actually going to look at new phones when I get home tomorrow. I think I am finally going to be up to date with the 21st century.

Lots of spiritual stuff has been going on. I have been angry about a lot of things lately. Things that I have no control over. But lately, God has put my anger to rest and once again I am back to square one learning to trust again. I am going to be starting my new job as middle school intern soon. May 2 to be exact. I will being going lots of places and talking to a lot of people and doing lots of stuff this summer. I know I am in for a great time of spiritual learning and I am more than ready now. God is great. So I am praying that He would give me an open heart/mind and that He would continue to guide me in His will.
