Portland weekend :)

So, my friend Kalie's dad is a pilot for Southwest. Why am I telling you this you ask? Because that means Kalie can fly free with two friends. So Elli, Kalie and myself decided to go to Portland (Elli's home) for the weekend!

I don't know if you have been to Portland before, but it's BEAUTIFUL!!! We had a wonderful time relaxing, taking pictures, and talking. Plus, Elli's family has wonderful food. So that was a bonus :)

This week is intense for me. I have a 7 page paper due on Thursday in my Luke/Acts class, a 3 page on on Wednesday, and a midterm to study for that's on next Monday night. Plus, I'll be home this weekend for Lauren's Bridal Shower on Saturday and Mom's birthday on Sunday!!

Must go read!
Have a wonderful day :)

February = Spring?

Well I guess February comes early in LA! It's spring! Here are some pictures of this weekend. Classes are going great. Not too much homework besides reading, but my classes are starting to pick up pace. I'm going home this weekend so I'm excited about that! Have a great week everyone!


Elli, Kalie and me on Saturday afternoon at Longbeach

Meeee :)

The group on Sat night :) The boys are Chase and Alex.

S'MORES!!!!!!!

We got a huge bonfire! It attracted lots of teenage boys who wanted to jump over it... of course. Boys! That's Kalie next to it.

Proud Auntie!!

Brooke sent me this video of Evie. She got camera shy at first but then cracks a smile so big it just makes my heart melt!! Thanks Brookie :)

January's over!

New haircut:

APU vs Biola (Biggest rival school) in Men's basketball. Ammmazing game which was soo close until the end when we won. Because we're amazing like that ;)

Jake hanging out with Kylie as we were all in the "hangout" room. I thought the use of technology was funny in this picture.

Hi everyone! Can you believe January is over already? Wow! I'm a fourth of the way through this semester! This is just going to fly by!!

Not much has happened these last 10 days since I blogged last (hense no new blog!). Mom and Dad are in South Carolina this week for classes and then go to see the Kerstetters tomorrow afternoon. It's funny, even though I'm away from home I still don't like when they're gone!

Next weekend Dad is going to be down in Ontario for a conference so I'll be able to see him when it's not in session. I'm SO excited about that!!

I feel like I've gotten a pretty good balanace of school/homework/internet/God, etc. Well, all except for exercise. Now that I don't have aerobics I've been lazy. But tomorrow morning at 7am I'm startin' up again!

I posted a picture of my new hair cut. My hairdresser thinned out SOOO much of it! My goodness usually when I get it thinned out it's more subtle! My ponytale is pothetic now! But I love the cut and it naturally has volume, which has never been the case for me! I am growing it out for Lauren's wedding so she didn't take off any length, just layered it. And took out 1/3 of my hair.

I miss Evie so much! I can't wait to see her next :)

Have a wonderful February 1st!

3 Day Weekend :)

Hello Family!

Well, might I say since I've gotten back to school I've had an adventurous time! Last weekend was the trip to the mountains which was so fun! Those pictures were in the blog before. This weekend I went to a concert Friday night for extra credit in my Freshman Writing class.

This Saturday I went to the beach with about 20 other friends. It was SO fun!!! We played ultimate frisbee on the sand, tanned and just hung out. It was seriously SUCH a fun time!!! Then Sunday three friends and myself went to Santa Barbara for the night. We had an alright time. Didn't get much accomplished like I had hoped, so tonight I'm going to focus and get more stuff done. I'm glad to be back!

Ok, I will update more later. Have a good week all!!

Wonderful winter weekend!!!

Making cookies :) I was quite the cook this weekend! Pancakes, spaghetti, cookies.. :)

Us girls just hanging out. There's not much documentation of the guys. There were 5 of them too.

Going out to the snow :)

Teaching Chris how to dance. :)

Taking a nap! Although there were 5 beds we ended up crashing on the living room floor one by one!

The group eating spaghetti

I made a mini-snowman!!!

The girls in the snow :)




Hi family!! So with the new semester just beginning and not too much work yet, my friends and I decided to go up to my friend Jeff's family cabin. It's only about 45 minutes away in the mountains, so we left Friday night and came back sunday noon. It was SO much fun!! You'll see from the pictures we had a great time. It was a nice break from the crazy first week of school and getting back into things. I can't believe I've only been here a week! It honestly feels like Christmas was months ago!!

Anyways, things are going well. Classes are much more intense this semester. My Luke/Acts class has about 60+ pages of reading for each class, and that's only one class! I will hopefully keep a good balance of time with God/exercising/school work/relaxing/relationships! So far so good!

Oh, and if you haven't heard from Brooke's blog, Evie is laughing now! That brings joy to my heart!! I can't wait to see her do it!! :)

Merry Christmas!!!
