Hello February!

We're already in month #2 in 2010! Time is just flying by.

Today is a snow day, no school or work, hoorah! Alex did have to go to work though. (boo...)

Anywhooo...if you're enjoying a snow day as I am (or even if you're not), check out the Ruche 'Be Our Valetine' Sweepstakes. I love this shop. So soft/feminine/vintage. Check out their website and enter their contest. Good luck!

Snow Day

I was beginning to doubt that we would see any snow this winter...but sure enough, we got our first snowfall this weekend. Alex and I had a great [lazy] day. We ventured out a couple times...we made snow angels, played in the playground, ate snow (well, Alex did). The rest of the day we watched movies, made brownie-cookies, and turned our living room into our own campsite with lots of blankets and pillows. I guess it's more like the inside of a genie bottle than a campsite.

Here are a few pictures of our snow day. Hope everyone else in Raleigh had a lovely day.

Last First Day

Spring semester started today. I had a looong day. 9am-6:20pm. And I'm with the same professor, in the same building all day long. Good thing, I like this professor!

I'm excited for my final semester at seminary. I'm taking six classes. (I know, crazy!)

• Old Testament II
• Counseling Individuals with Addictions
• Intro to the Great Commission
• Intro to the Cooperative Program
• Counseling Practicum II
• Case Conference

It sounds like a lot of work, but I'm really not too worried about it. I know that God will sustain me and I will be able to get all the work done. In just four months I'll be walking across the stage in Binkley Chapel wearing a funny hat and robe.

So just pray that I remain diligent with my school work, please! No procrastinating! Or at least not much of it. ;-)

Hope everyone else at SEBTS had a great start to the semester.

P.S. Actually I will have to take one more class over the summer to be officially done with my degree, but the point is I'm walking in May and one little 2-week course over the summer will be a cinch. ;-)

THIRTY YEARS!

My mom and dad have been married for THIRTY YEARS!

Nowadays that's a big deal. I am so proud of my parents. They have been through so many trials and have managed to remain married despite all the ups and downs. They have sacrificed so much for us. Coming to a new country, learning a new language, working hard to provide their daughters with a good future. I am forever thankful for all their love, sacrifice, advice...

I have been blessed with amazing parents, and even though we don't live in the same state I know they are only a phone call away and I can always count on them.

I love you, mami y papi! Happy anniversary!

P.S. Don't they look really adorable on their wedding day?! Gotta love 1980 fashion.

I Made You a Beard

I love this.

Looove it.

Beards are great...one of the main things that attracted me to my husband when we met was his facial hair. Call me crazy but I just love beards.

So if anyone wants to gift me my very own beard (!!!) I wouldn't be against it. ;-)

Check out the site and shop.

Denver

We had a whirlwind trip in Denver this past weekend. I am just amazed with this city. We all really enjoyed our time there and learned a lot. We've had a few discussions about what we learned while we were there but I'm sure we still have much more to unpack.

We're so thankful for Brad and Haley Hovis who took the time to show us around the city and let us stay in their home. Also, Joe Beckler gave us a tour and really took the time to minister to us. What a blessing!

Denver is such a unique city. It's really a place where the urban life meets the outdoors life. The weather was gorgeous. By the time the afternoon rolled around we were peeling off our coats and enjoying the warm sun.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers. It truly was an amazing trip and I can hardly believe that we will be moving to this wonderful city in one year, Lord willing.

I have posted pictures on facebook and my mobile.me gallery. Check it out. :-)

Vision Trip 2010

Today is the day!

If all goes according to plan I'll be resting my head in Denver tonight. I'm finally going to see the city that we've been talking about for so long. I'm excited and nervous, but mostly excited.

Thank you to everyone participating in Project100. We appreciate your prayers so much. We'll be taking lots of pictures and video to share with everyone when we return to the RDU. Until then, keep praying!
