Semester #2

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you enjoyed the holidays and got some peace and quiet amidst all the hustle and bustle. I had a wonderful 2 weeks at home. Saw lots of friends, spent time with the fam, went on dates with my man, enjoyed not cooking for myself, had a sleepover with Kaitie Korver (aka bestie), drank in the redwood forest I missed so much, walked around camp, and prayed time would go slower. It was an incredibly short break, but better than none! It was an adventure just getting home as the airports scrambled to deal with the snow here on the east coast. I missed all of my connections and when I finally got lucky enough to get a flight to LA (by that point I just wanted to get to the right state and didn't care what airport it was), I was stranded in that airport until the next day. But Jeff and Christina came to my rescue and I spent the night at their place which is only about 25 minutes away. God is good! Here's me and Kaitie enjoying some much needed El Toro Bravo time during my break. I am Mexican food deprived over here...

God also has a strange sense of humor. You may recall me posting that I did not win the video contest at Regent. I received a call when I was in CA from the head of marketing at Regent. She informed me that the on-campus winner was recently disqualified because of an age discrepancy and I was the new WINNER!!! I couldn't believe it! I started freaking out in Target with Kaitie and Steve (we were Christmas shopping at the time). God is definitely testing my trust in Him through situations and I'm learning to give all my stresses to Him. He sure hasn't disappointed yet! The marketing rep said my video was "very popular" so that's thanks to all of you who voted! Thank you so much!

I'm back at Regent and the first week of my spring 2011 semester has come and gone. Not much to report yet. It's good to see all my friends again. I like my classes so far and get to take cinematography with my favorite professor Doug. Woohoo! It's fun having a bigger room and a wonderful new roommate. Here's some pictures of my new room and some photos of pancake feast that I promised to post...

Wonderful ladies in my life!

We have so much fun :)
