Interests: I love to serve the Lord in any way I can! Bible quizzing has been an amazing part of my life for almost 14 years now... can you believe that?? I like hanging out with my friends and love to sing. Occasionally I'll read a good book but it has to keep my attention! I enjoy working with children (some of the things they say are classics) and youth! It's awesome to be able to make a difference in their lives! =)
Expertise: I don't think I'm an expert at anything really... maybe having fun with anything I do and quite possibly brain teasers! I really like them anyway.
Occupation: School bus driver!

CHANGES!!

I moved this past weekend... into a friends house for a few weeks then into the "real place" prayerfully soon! 

I resigned from my school bus job on Fri and am now a charter bus driver.  

I've resigned from everything I do with the church... that was really sad! 

I'm living on faith and trusting that God will continue to take care of my needs!

I'll be leaving my social life because I will live too far away to hang out all the time.... very very sad!

God is awesome and He knows what's best for me!

I DID IT!!!!!!!!

So, I was sitting in my apt the other day and I saw one of my rubik's cubes.  It's a smaller version of the original that I got from Nationals over the summer.  I had mixed it up in NY while I was there and brought it home and put it on the table.  I picked it up the other day and actually figured it out!  I looked at it and thought, no way... so I checked all the sides and looked at it again... checked all the sides again and realized I just figured this out, how did I do it?   haha  I mixed the small one up again and really tried to pay attention to what I was doing this time around.  I did it a second time!  Mind you, this all happened in less than 10 minutes!  Incredible!  I thought I KNOW I have the regular sized one around here somewhere, where is it?  I found it in about 30 seconds and started playing with it.  For some reason I haven't been able to figure it out yet and I can't figure out why.  I think it's because I'm not really sure how I figured out the small one twice.  I will continue to work on this a little at a time but I thought it was pretty awesome that I got it at all!!  I thought I would share the news.  Does anyone read this thing??

New job??

Hello everyone!  Please pray about a possible job change for me.  I thought I was officially hired as a motorcoach driver... but I probably will be soon.  I don't know what to do.  If I take the motorcoach job I will be out of town a lot and will have to give up everything I'm doing with the church right now, including Bible quizzing.  If I stay where I am... it's not paying the bills so that would be bad.  There's another opportunity to be an office manager for a church but I don't think it's a fit for me.  I did apply for the job but I think it will be at least Mon before I hear anything. 

I love to drive and I think it would be fun to travel the nation with so many different groups of people.  It would definitely be completely different than anything I've ever experienced because I would be doing my own thing after I drive to the location and staying in a hotel.  I would be paid to travel and it would be a little over double what I make currently.

Thanks for your prayers!

Wow! You could say it's been a while since I've updated!  It has actually been so long that when I went to check my xanga account I couldn't remember what it was called.  I had to sit here and think about it. 

Summer is over and it was quite a summer!  I did so many fun things and I worked hard all at the same time.  I had 3 jobs so you can imagine how busy I was and on top of that I maintianed my very active social life.  In the month of June I was in 8 different states.  Some of them we were just driving through but nonetheless that's a lot of driving!  The 1st week of June I went on an amazing missions trip to GA with my friends... sooo much fun!  The last week of June I ended up going to Bible quiz Finals, which was unplanned, in Rochester, NY!  That was so refreshing and I realized all my time and effort involved in quizzing is worth every minute. 

July is pretty much a blurr... that's when I went into work mode.  I drove summer school everyday, then went and picked up 2 kids I watched in the afternoon and into the evening.  Then I would either hang out with my friends or go home and sleep. July 4th was a ton of fun cuz I didn't work at all!  I was unexpectedly treated to breakfast by my friend Tony, then we hung out at Barnes and Noble for a while.  After that I went over to Tom's house and played cornhole and euchre with everyone.  Then all of us went over to Tucker's house.  Some people watched a movie but "the fun ones" stayed outside and played ladder ball and set off fireworks!  That night at Tucker's was filled with hysterical laughter... what a good time!  

August has been fun but it has gone by incredibly fast.  We've been in school since Aug 13th so we're definitely in full swing.  I'm really excited about this coming weekend!!  We have a half day of school tomorrow, then tomorrow afternoon/evening and all day Sat. I'll be working at the NHRA drag races!  My friends will be attending the races so I'll get to see them a little bit, but I KNOW I'll be really busy selling ice cream, pretzels, lemonade, and chill.  I'll probably be in charge of the pretzels again... that was fun the last time.  We actually grill the pretzels and they taste amazing and are really popular.  After working the race I'll be headed to OH to go camping with my family and friends in Aberdeen, OH!  YAY!  We'll be spending all day Sun and Mon camping and playing ladder ball, cornhole, washers, euchre, going water skiing, tubing, and fishing!  What fun! 

Thanks for being patient with the updates!  Life is crazy right now but it has slowed down since July because I'm not working as much.  Quizzing starts up next week and we might have 10 quizzers!  How exciting!  Even though we lost a quizzer because she graduated God is still growing the quiz ministry at Light and Life FMC.

Please be in prayer about my job situation.  I will be applying to be a charter bus driver for a company in the area.  I haven't decided if I'm going to do this full-time or if I will do it in addition to the school bus driving.  I am definitely praying about it and I would appreaciate any prayers from you guys!  Thanks and God bless!

I suppose I should update everyone on what's going on.  I'm not very good at posting blogs! I'm sure you've noticed... haha.  I don't have internet access at my apt anymore so the computer really hasn't had a role in my life lately.  I'm sure that's a good thing.  Even if I did have access I seem to be so incredibly busy that I really don't have the extra time.  Today, I'm at the library between a field trip and an eye appt.  I have to fit lunch in their somewhere too but I figured I would hop on to check my e-mail since I haven't in a while. 

Scott and I broke up.  It actually went really well and we still hang out together and talk.  It was very easy going back into being just friends with each other so that was nice.  I did find it strange to actually miss being single while we were dating.  I guess I really do enjoy my single life!   

This weekend is so incredibly packed with things I could do but I'm going to do something I should do.  Please pray for me about this.  I have a choice to go to my cousin's wedding, a friends wedding, drive in a school bus race against other busses on a dirt track (which I want to do soooo bad), or do anything I want to do because it's my b-day.  I'm choosing to support my cousin at the wedding because on that side of the family weddings don't usually happen.  I'm excited that she's trying to do what's right and excited that they're deciding to do this. 

The other sad thing about this weekend is what I found out last night.  My friends thought I was going to be in town over my b-day and they were planning a surprise party for me.  They were all planning on going to the Eagle's Nest, which for those that don't know, it's a restaurant on the top floor of a tall building downtown over-looking Indpls.  After that we were going to go to an Indians game because I had mentioned I wanted to do that.  It is very sweet of my friends to do this and as far as I know since they planned it they're still going to do it, I just won't be there.  It is very disappointing but last night they were trying to figure out when we can celebrate my b-day.  I love my friends!  They're so much fun!!   

Well, I should probably get going.  I have church tonight with the youth group and of course Young Adults tonight! =)  School is almost out for the summer!  YAY!  We're done May 24th!  I NEVER got out that early when I was in school.  Hopefully I'll be driving summer school but I probably won't find out if I get in until next week sometime.  I'll try to keep ya posted!  Have a great week everyone... and if I don't post again for a while have a great month!  lol =)
