Blessings :)

This summer has been full of blessings. My first week of work with the little kids day camps was so cool! I had way too much fun to be getting payed. I am loving it. Plus Kat is letting me live at her house when I am working which cuts my commute from 45 minutes to about 10. I am loving all that is happening. Then last week Kat was at CYT High School Camp and I was so bummed I could not go or work there. I went and saw her showcase at the end of the week and it was great. Everything she said about camp sounded so amazing but I knew that it was something she needed and not something I was supposed to experience. I was bummed but then at work on Monday we were told that one of our camps was canceled because we had no enrollment. This sucked because I was out of work for a week, but when God closes a door he opens another. On Tuesday Vana came to camp and asked me if I would like to work at the Middle School camp. I agreed and I am so excited that I do get to experience this. I am so happy that I got involved with CYT this summer and it is going to be painful to leave, but I will be back.

Sooooo..

I have forgotten about my blog!mI have not posted my photo a day for forever and I was forgetting to take picture and my camera was dead with no charger so that did not help. So now I am back on track and all that stuff. I am very excited for summer. I am just excited to hang out with my friends I have not seen in a long time and do pottery and do crazy fun random stuff. Also today I found one of my hats on my roommate's desk and I was a little angry but I didn't really care I just don't want him all up in my stuff. Then I go on Facebook and his profile picture is of him WEARING one of my hats at something called "420 Fest". Needless to say I am a little upset. I find it funny that he would just take one of my hats and wear it but at the same time I am pissed. Ugh it is not a good situation with him. Oh well only 2 weeks left!! 

Chargers

So this has not been my week for chargers. First my phone will not charge and it turns out my charger is not working so my friend gave me an extra one she had. It was kind of nice to not have my phone for a day though. Lonely but nice. Then I could not find my camera charger after my camera died. I looked everywhere. I looked in the place I remember leaving it about 40 times. I searched high and low and could not find it. So I stopped looking after a day of searching. Then a few days later I was putting books in the bag that I had searched 40 times and it was in there. How did I miss it?! Man that was frustrating. 

An adventure

I am sick..... lame. 

So lately I have really been craving something exciting and new. I don't know why, but I just want to pack up and go somewhere. I really don't care where, just not southern California. I am just getting a little restless. Don't get me wrong I love it here. I love Concordia and all my friends here, but I just want something new. I want to travel or move somewhere random. I just get this feeling that I am missing out on stuff. That is definitely not true though. I am still young and plus if I was living out on my own I would not have the time and money to do those kinds of things. I know I need to be patient, but I kind of just want to get on with life. I might just transfer somewhere in a year or so. That might help. There is way too much I want to do, but that darn thing called money is not really helping. I know that God will provide for what I need and if I am meant to go somewhere I will be there, but I think because I want it so bad it is hard to have that trust. I just have to be patient for now. 

As much as I want something new I still must say that souther California is one of the best places to live. Yesterday I went to the beach, came back to school, went to Disneyland, went to the Spectrum, got new shoes, got a haircut, went and got ice-cream, then finished the day with a game of Mad Gab. I am very blessed to be living in such a wonderful area, but regardless I want something new. I just want to take an adventure to somewhere. Any ideas? 

Weekend

This weekend my best friend Kat came to Laguna and it was FUN! We went to a youth conference this weekend and I am very glad I went. It definitely made me happy with the choice I have made to study youth ministry. I got to be a leader for my youth group so it was a good experience. I love the conference and I think it is a great thing that they are doing. Before the conference they have a countdown to when the conference starts, and when the clock got to one minute everyone was screaming and so excited for this conference. It was amazing to see hundreds of teenagers get so excited about worshiping God for a weekend.  

In Laguna Kat and I walked around the art galleries and went to eat at a very good mexican restaurant. WE hung out in the hotel room and walked on the beach. It was a lot of fun! 

Patrick got style advice from the girls this weekend. I am very proud of him. I don't think he was so excited but he looks good so he should be thankful.  (wow sounds a little gay). Anyways that was it. 

Exciting

So last night Invisible Children came to Concordia to do a screening of their new short film, rescue. (if you do not know what Invisible Children is www.invisiblechildren.com check it out.) I really love what this organization is about and all the things they are doing for children in Uganda. 

Anyways, the film is about a new event they are doing called Rescue. At this even people will be "abducting" themselves and waiting for a rescue. We will be spending the night somewhere in Orange County (many other cities are doing this also) and there we will be writing letter to politicians and trying to rally all the help we can get. The purpose of this is to rescue the children in Northern Uganda that have been abducted and forced into the LRA to become child soldiers. 

I am very excited to get involved and help this organization. My friend Kaala and I are planning to have a benefit concert for IC next fall. We hope to make this a big as we can possibly make it. We are really excited to see what we can make happen with this. I am just really excited to get involved and I hope to find some more ways in the future. Possibly become a roadie. 

Just for fun

I have not posted in a while so i just thought I would write about whatever. So this weekend I went to San Diego to see my best friend Kat. She was in Wizard of OZ so I went to see her play with Patrick. Getting there was a pain. I was trying to lead Alex to the place where the play was, but I missed the exit. Then I was trying to get us back there but i couldn't. Finally 20 minutes later and after consulting the GPS we got there. I felt pretty lame.

That night we went to a birthday party with a whole lot of CYT kids. It was a lot of fun. I haven't seen a lot of them in a while so it was nice to catch up. Oh and during the play (I knew a bunch of the kids in it from when I did High School Musical) my friend Tyler called out my name in a few scenes. I didn't really catch it but everyone told me he did. Everyone knew who I was and that I was going to be there that night so I guess Kat was really excited I was going to be there. It feels good to know your best friend loves you and is excited to see you. 

Then I tried to get us to Panda express the next day and missed the turn. I was not having a good weekend direction wise, but I did get us to the mall later that night. 

We watched Ratatouille later. I love that movie.

Probably the best part of my weekend was..... hold on I actually need to tell this story first. So Patrick and I made a video for his sister because it was her birthday (we wrote her a funny song basically). Then we were waiting for her response and Patrick finally got a text message after Kat's play. It said "hey your friend is pretty cut". I was pretty pleased with this because I have a comeback for when Patrick gives me crap (which he does non stop). If he calls me ugly I can just say "that's not what your sister says". Mean yes but he kind of deserves it and we both do it for fun and out of love. At least I do. So I have been having fun with that one. 

Tomorrow is open mic night and I am really excited. It will be the first time Kaala and I play in public. I have been trying to write songs but they are coming slow, but they are still coming. Hopefully one will be ready by tomorrow night. Anyways I need to study for my bio test tomorrow.
