Hello {Summer}

Well hey there!!  I'm almost embarrassed to post anything here anymore because I know that months go by in between updates, but tonight I'm waiting on a batch of cookies to come out of the oven and I decided that it was the perfect time to do a quick post concerning all things summer :)

Since getting back from school almost 2 months ago things have stayed pretty crazy....working three jobs keeps me on my toes :)  BUT I have gotten some time to do fantastic summer-y things such as

1.) Sleepovers with this beautiful lady (who also stops into work to make my day much happier :D): 

2.) Throw a well-loved ball endless times per day:

3.) Photograph this lovely wedding:

4.) Break it down to the Cupid Shuffle with my favorite little person at said wedding:

5.) Oh and speaking of the wedding, did I mention that I got to spend the day with this dear friend?  Yeah.  She's basically the best person ever.  

6.) Uphold my crazy aunt status with this lil' peanut:

7.) BUT BUT BUT I saved the best for last!!  Meet my new, perfect little niece, Aimee Elisabeth:

Of course I had to snap some pictures of this precious face ;)

Gaaaaahhhh isn't she so perfect???  I can't wait until she comes to visit me in August :)  

But with that, my cookies are done and it's getting late....it's amazing how quickly the 2AM college mornings have faded away now that I'm home ;)  Hope you all have a fantastic 4th - it promises to be a hot and humid scorcher here in Pittsburgh :D

My heart is overwhelmed by the blessings that God has lavished on me here at PHC.  His mercies are new every morning, and great is His faithfulness!

{So thankful for friends that overflow with the joy and love of Christ}

So glad I had the chance to document this fantastic time in Andrew and Heather's life...I really do have a beautiful niece ;)  Can't wait to take her on lots of adventures!! <3

{New Beginnings}

Well folks, I am officially a southern girl now, complete with steamed okra ;)  I know this poor, sad, little blog has been rejected lately and I'm sure it won't get any better in the coming weeks, but I wanted to do a quick post and share what God's been doing lately :)

I recently had the privilege of moving to Purcellville, VA to attend Patrick Henry College.  This week has been a whole lot of orientation, etc, but already I am so overwhelmed by the amazing community of people that surrounds me.  It's been quite the journey to get here, but God is oh so faithful!

One song that we've been singing in chapel is 'All I Have is Christ' - if you haven't heard it before I encourage you to take a few moments to listen to it!  The last verse is especially powerful:

Now Lord, I would be yours alone,
And live so all might see

The strength to follow your commands
Could never come from me.
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You.

Hallelujah!  All I have is Christ
Hallelujah!  Jesus is my life

As I prepare to delve into this school year on Monday, that is my prayer.  That Christ would be all I need, all I pursue, and all I desire!  May each one of us trust in Him, commit our way to Him, and believe that He who called us is faithful!  This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. {Psalm 118:23}

So with that, I'm off to study the syllabus and see what I need to get done :)  Every once in a while I'll try to post pictures from my iPod to give you a glimpse of what I'm up to!  Can't wait to see what this year holds :)
