My view of an imperfect but wonderful life

Bitterness thy name is Expedia.com!

I did not realize finding plane tickets was a challenge! I am going to be home for a week next month (YAY!) and had delegated the process of getting a great price for a flight to my mother. Well I waited a little longer than necessary, and... the prices went UP! How rude of all those ticket websites! Well I was searching today for EVER for a good price. And I didn't realize how sneaky those websites are! They are downright evil! They will trick you into clicking on a low price, and lo and behold they only did that to show you the only price they have is $60 more expensive!

So after finding a decent price, I went to see if anything else had a good price, and I went back to the former website... and the price had gone up $100! Now that is just uncalled for (heehee)!! Conniving! So I just showed Expedia who was boss and purchased one for a cheaper price!
So there!

Summer Plans!

So, hello deprived, neglected readers. It has been such a long time since I last posted. And I kept telling myself to get better. Go figure, I haven't kept up with it! BUT I HAVE kept up with the 365 blog that Bekki and I are doing! Go check out our Random blog!! It has been fun!

So... most of you are in the dark about the last two months of my life. I am going to give you a REALLY short story version!

Since the end of March, we had a successful IBC Music Festival, a grueling race to finals week, packing galore and then wonderful graduation banquet, and sadly Justin's graduation! It all happened so fast. I am so proud of him, and I am sure that those of you who know him, would have loved to see him perform in Music Festival and then again for his last time playing with IBC Choir at graduation. It was an emotional graduation (well not as much for me, as I was trying hard to help my friends keep it together! LOL) but we had an amazing speaker, and then had a wonderful time out with the family. To see some pictures you can go here!

The next day was sooo bittersweet for me, because I had to finish packing, and then after lunch (which I was surprisingly able to go to with the family) I left for.... Normalville, Pennsylvania.



This summer, I am interning here in Normalville! Exciting I know! The church is relatively a medium small church (can that even happen?!) but the pastor gave me an amazing opportunity that I couldn't refuse. I am going to be helping out with the music here this summer, as well as teaching Sunday School and teaching Youth class AND having youth outings and such. I am currently also looking for a part time job so I can bring in a little extra to put towards my school bill, because.... I am going back to IBC in the Fall and will be graduating in May!

I know most of you are probably saying to yourself, what happened to only going ONE year! Well... IBC happened! I have had some of the most amazing experiences there. And I just don't think I am done yet, and want just a few more experiences before I head out into the world and figure out what I am supposed to do for God!

Keep me in your prayers this summer, as it is a whole new world out here for me. I absolutely love it here though and I know that this is where I am supposed to be right now!

I will keep you up to date!
