Well here I am!!

Well hello there. :] It's been a great while since I've updated, but here I am again; back into the groove of things and ready to update you all on ME!

Well obviously Im back from Canada. :] It's really very bittersweet being back. I loved many of the people there, the worship and the continual spiritual support, but there were many things that tore me down and I could not deal with as well as missing many people back home. Despite all of those things, bittersweet or not; I am glad to be home. It has been nice to reconnect with old friends, go home on the weekends and spend some much needed time with my family. I'm enjoying every second!

So, I'm back at Cornerstone, and back for good I'm thinking. I have really settled in here and like most of my classes and the people that I have met here. Although the Christian atmosphere is not as strong as that of Bethany, I have found a fantastic group of people to hang out with. In addition I have a fabulous section, and the girls who live there are awesome! A couple of us actually just went out to Denny's for FREE BREAKFAST this morning! It was wonderful!

I am also filling out an application to be a sherpa! Sherpas are the student leaders for the course I took this summer called Leadership Journey (LJ). This would be such a fantastic opportunity, and I am excited at the possibilites! My application is due tomorrow and then the interview process begins in a week or so. Pray that everything goes well! I hope that I am considered for the position and eventually get to be a sherpa. It would be a fantastic learning experience as well as so much fun! The only thing Im working on is finding a staff person to reference me!

Another thing that has been a lot of fun since I've been here is HOCKEY! My roommate's boyfriend plays and we go to a couple of games a week. It's a good time :] I like the sport in general, but it also offers a lot of opportunities for me to take pictures, and I always love opportunites like that!

I will update more later, but currently I need to go get ready to go! I love living so close to one of my best friends, he goes to Grand Valley which is 15ish minutes away, and getting to hang out with him so much more than I used to!

I love you all!
