How do you tell them, "no habla espanol"???!!!!!!!

-
I am taking a Spanish 101 class for extra credit at school, in fact I just took a test yesterday (we will definitely NOT talk about that). During all 4 of my years here at CSU, I have not struggled with something this hard since.... Trigonometry!!! Except this is a WHOLE other problem... In trig, I could actually understand what the teacher was saying... Well sometimes, I'd like to believe I could. But, I am sure in my Spanish class I have this "Clueless" sign branded into my forehead. And I don't know if it's because I look smart (HA!) or what, but my teacher likes to call on me, and have me read in Spanish or answer the questions... Let me tell you, there are a LOT of "ummm"s and English words in my sentences! I thought this class might be a good idea, you know to be able to communicate better in more than just two languages... But now I'm wondering WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!?? Sure it would help if I talked to my friends in Spanish, but there's one problem, I have to actually know SPANISH WORDS to speak it!!! Only God can help me now!!! Pray saints pray and while your praying, it's back to the books for me!!!

You don't even know how my heart has lightened when I realized I am not the only one out there!!!! Even my brown anne-girl (did I just say that sorry!!!) can't speak it. Katie you give me no hope either... I don't know Greek so that won't work... One day when I am fluent in Spanish *HA* I'll come back to you and help you unGreek the language!!!

Hallelujah is the same in every language. Comfort one another with these words. Next time she calls on you. Just get up out of your seat and run around the classroom saying HALLELUJAH!!! That should solve your problems for being asked to read or answer questions. Nicole

What Day is it???

One of the reasons I HAD to write a new post was because if you would scroll down JUST a bit, there are 45+ comments on the last post!!! LOL so I figured why not write a new post and allow a more easily accessible comment view... Cuz you know my fingers were just getting so tired of scrolling all the way down to the bottom to see the newest comment! ridiculous!!! Anyway, have you ever woke up and wondered what am I doing up???? Who am I, where am I??? WHY??? Lol, well if you haven't one day you may. Today I woke up wondering why I couldn't see, and where I was and wanting to go back to bed. Lol "alas" (that was for Bekki) I found out the reason why. I had forgotten to take my contacts out last night (stupid right? But it does happen to the best of us) and they had decided during the night that they did NOT like my eyes. So I tried to rewet them and put them back into my eyes. But nooooo.... My right eye took it just fine, my left eye threw a fit. So here I was with a ...

Hallelujah From the Valley

-
A few months ago, a young lady from my school introduced the song below during chapel to the student body. If anyone has a right to sing these words, she does. As this young lady recently lost her mother in a long struggle with cancer. Loss is something none of us take well. No matter what it may be. Some losses seem small to others, but to the person who has lost, it is larger than life. Whether it be the loss of a parent, a sibling, any family member, a friend, a pet, a pastor, a job, a house the list goes on. We try to rationalize the situation... But, sadly, our finite minds cannot comprehend the reason the Lord decided to allow this pain into our lives. Many blame God for so many different reasons, but God knows how much you can bear, and how far He will allow. Job was tortured, torn, accused, cursed at, heartbroken, and yet he still uttered those words that we can't even begin to think in hard times "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the ...

Yet ANOTHER Eventful Weekend

Ok, so Friday was not so eventful. Other than everyone in the house was up around eightish...ish...ish. Lol. And then started cleaning.... and cleaned.. and packed and cleaned and packed. That was pretty much all we did all the way up until 10 something that night! (well... with a few breaks here and there). Then Saturday, we got up to the smell of my mom cooking and baking. I told Nicole it smelled like Thanksgiving in my house! We ended up having some close family friends over, the Jones family, the Sablan family, the Davis family and the Lee Jr family (lol Tiffany Randy and babies). The food was wonderful and the fellowship marvelous! Lol when Tiff got there I stole her newest addition, Ryan, he is SUCH a doll! And then took Baby Randy for awhile. It was so funny watching him crawl all over the place, and then go up to the dogs and get scared and try to get away as fast as he could! It was fun! Well they were all gone by about 5:30, and Bekki had told me that we wanted to meet at...
