So this past week has been crazy! first off i moved into the dorm at PUC and started my first year here. It ok so far. Kinda miss people a lot and its harder to meet people here but i know that God has a reason for me to be here. So to add to my fun experience here i lost my keys the first day of class. On the ring was my room, house, mialbox, and car keys and the keychain i got for graduation from the Jutzy. It was a very sad day and i am praying that they will show up soon. I must appologize that i haven't written in a long time. I will try to update you all on my life more often. So not a lot of interesting stuff is going on, but yeah i am jsut letting God lead my life and I am learning to trust Him.
I joined the Business Club here and we are going camping in yosemite in 2 weeks which will be fun. That is if i end up going, but we'll see. but yeah as for that not a lot is going on over in this part of the world.
I love you all and will update you if anything more happens.

Off to school once more.....

So sorry all that it has taken me forever to update you on my life. Hopefully I will get better once school starts. But I can't promise anything. As my summer draws to close it makes me sad and excited at the same time. I am sad that my amazing summer is over and i will have to drive 4 hours to the beach instead of 10 minutes and I will have to do homework. But I am so excited to start a new year and meet new friends and over all grow as I experience new things.... So I leave on Wednesday morning to drive to PUC. It will be an adventure because I have never drove to PUC from my house so i don't quit know the way. I definitely be getting directions. So I just got back from coffee this morning (where i got a free coffee i might add because i drink so much) and now i am really out of it so forgive me if I ramble. So anyways..... school will be good...i hope. If not i have made up my mind to go to Humboldt State if i don't like PUC (that is the university at home). But i think i will like PUC. So as for what i have been up to since i updated you all on my life....mmm....well my family and I took a trip to Disneyland where we spent a week down south. Our hotel was right across the street from the park. All we had to do was walk across the street and down a walkway and we were there. It was amazing! We arrived there on Sabbath afternoon and just stayed around the hotel.




Then on Sunday we headed for the beach after a free breakfast from a vacation club we are now a part of. I must say the beaches in Southern California are over rated. But i was told that we went to a bad beach anyways. We visited the lovely town of Long Beach and did some looking around in the shops and found a cute little cupcake store and then walked around on the beach for a little bit then headed back to the hotel. Monday was our first day at Disneyland! Kelsey and Drew met us there and we had an amazing time with 5 minute waits for most of the rides. After being on our feet for 8 hours and screaming our heads on the rides we were dead tired when the park closed for the night. It was so much fun to see Drew and Kelsey. I miss them both so much and wish that they would go to PUC. Tuesday was a repeat of Monday except it was a little slower pace since we were exhausted from the day before. Overall the family vacation to Disneyland was so amazing!




The day after we got home from Disneyland. My parents drove me over to Lake Shasta to visit with Julie. I was planning on driving myself but my parents offered and i could not refuse since we left at 7:30 am i would rather sleep
. I spent the day swimming in the amazing lake and i even tried my hand at wake boarding. I didn't get up but it was still really fun to try it. After eating amazing food and a game of rummy with Julie, Kirk and their dad i was take back to the dock to meet up with my parents who would take me home. overall it was so much fun to spend time with Julie. I miss her tons and it was good to see her! And get tan at the same time ;)





This is Julie, not me! She is a pro!






After church my family head to Patrick's Point State Park where we walked on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful nature that God created for us. I was standing on a bluff overlooking the ocean as the fog was rolling in and cause
d me to stop and stand in awe. God created this for me! I could have stayed there all day just reflecting on things and simply sitting in peace but it was getting late so we headed back. Overall i can say that there is no place on earth that i find so fascinating or beautiful as the North Coast and the forest around them. It was truly breathtaking. Unfortunately my mom's battery on her camera died so no pictures were taken of the outing but i will always remember that peaceful feeling. Sorry that this is so long, but i have been doing a lot this summer. I will put pictures up if i can figure out how to do that. But i am almost done so stick with a little bit longer. So i am pretty much all packed up minus my clothes. it is weird to be off to school again. I did love the relaxed, carefree summer i had, but i love fall even more so i can't wait! I will keep you all posted on my life after school starts and i hit some button my keyboard and it changed the font and i don't know how to change it back. oops..... so yeah i miss every one so much! hope you all are doing good!
Until next time....
