Monica's Graduation!

Saturday was Monica's graduation from Messiah College! The weather held out, they were calling for a chance of rain, but it held off. It was a bit cool and windy, but nothing we couldn't deal with. It was great to be there to celebrate this incredable moment with her.

She also recently started dating a guy named Matt. They met through mutual friends last summer. He actually attends our church. How awesome is that! So that has been exciting as well.

I still haven't sold my motorcycle. I'm a little disappointed, but I'm sure it will come about soon enough :)

God has been revealing Himself to me recently, and that has been exciting. There is such peace, hope and joy in experiencing His presence. I've been facing some uncertainties as I plan for school in the fall, along with other area's in my life. God has reminded me He is in control, and I can trust Him. His loving kindnesses is everlasting and I know His heart is for me. He is faithful, and I believe He has some awesome things in store for me as I venture into this new phase in life.

I have a few pictures from Monica's graduation yesterday that I thought I'd share with you!

Ben, Rochelle, and Sam patiently waiting for the last of the 650 names to be called!

This summer...

Well, I am one day and one final away from being done with my second semester at HACC! I found out a few weeks ago that I've been accepted into Reading Hospital's College of Health Sciences nursing program starting in August. Reading is only a 20 min. drive from home, however I am planing on dorming for the soul purpose of staying focused. I've learned from commuting over this past year that once I am home, the hopes of getting any studying done greatly decreases! There are way to many distractions.


Until then (aug.) I have a great many pieces of paper to fill out for the school, along with finding a health care provider, financial aid, back ground checks, CPR class to take....and the list goes on. Too much to try and keep track of....it's driving me crazy!!


I am scheduled to take Microbiology this summer. It will be two days a week for 8 weeks. Because of that I am sticking to my crazy work schedule, juggling my two CNA jobs, trying to attain as many day shift hours as I can get my hands on. Some weeks I do better than others. This also can be frustrating. I suppose I could work more steady hours, but that would require me working 2ed shift, and I DO NOT want to give up my evenings!! ugh!


So besides that, whats new??


Well, I have finally decided to sell my motorcycle. I must say, I am a little sad to see it go. At this point I'm thinking maybe after I'm through with my nursing class maybe I'll look into buying another one. We'll see. I've decided to hang on to me helmet and jacket for that very purpose.


Also Monica graduates from college next saturday 5/17!!! How crazy is that?? I really can't believe four years have passed so quickly. It will be a blast having her home again!


This is a good friend of mine, who happens to be a nurse also :)A friend and I went for a ride last sunday, it would have been more enjoyable had the weather been a little warmer :) It was fun none the less.

Here Sam is making some BBQ chicken for supper. Yumm yumm!!
