Days in, days out.

Went to the mall today. We have a new Forever 21, two floors and overwhelmingly large. Walking in, my heart was pounding and I had a big dumb grin on my face. "Like a kid in a candy shop," or at Disney World for the first time. Other than that, though, I spent a whole bunch of money that I don't have. I need a job. Check out my plans for the next three days:

Tomorrow: Visiting my grandparents, then stopping by Planet Fitness to beg them for a job. Praying they hire seasonally..

Wednesday: Hair appt (FINALLY!!!), applying to the Windgate Hotel, Life Campus...

Thursday: Applying to Stewart's!!!

Decisions and unknown distances

Not knowing where I'm going to end up next year is quite frankly the biggest stressor imaginable.
Wait a minute, I have less than three months to make a decision.

Sent in an application for The College of Saint Rose this afternoon. It's smack dab in the middle of my all the people and places I love and cherish most: my family, my church, and my boyfriend. Other than that though, I literally don't know one measly thing about the school, which generally it isn't a smart idea to make a decision based upon a big fat nothing. Then again, "wing it" seems to be my middle name these days.

I've spent the rest of the day messaging different types of people on Facebook that I know attend St. Rose and asking them their opinions on the school. So far, each one of them has had nothing but good things to say about it. I'd say that's a good sign!

Even better yet, Christina was in the same boat as me at the beginning of this year: A young Christian girl transferring into the Communication Science and Disorders major as a sophomore. She said transferring to St. Rose was one of the best decisions she's ever made.

Can I maybe say "Decision" one more time?



Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

Awakening Conference 2012

Took a trip to #Rhode Island about 2 weekends ago with a few of the other #leaders in my youth group for a #conference. It really was a great #God weekend. Here are some photos:

Over the entire course of our road trip, we watched 5 and a half Disney movies:
Lion King, Aristocrats, The Incredibles, Tangled, Aladdin, Toy Story 2

First night service! Thursday night #worship
"There's no other name like the name of #Jesus!"

First night service, one of my favorite preachers ever: #Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Amazing dinner @ #Chili's - So good we went there twice!
That awkward moment when you're at Chili's & they accidentally sing
"Happy Birthday" to someone at your table.. But at least you get free icecream. #YOLO

Friday morning worship: #Ascend the Hill

Waiting for #Lecrae w/ my amazing #boyfriend Andrew! <3

Lecrae

#Awakening

Another great preacher: #Chad Veach
#Pray for his baby girl, Gigi, who is currently suffering from a deadly disorder.

Walking over to the mall in #Providence

Saturday morning, waiting for the leaders meeting to begin..
#Frank Damazio is the man, for real. All the way from my best friend's church in Portland, Oregon!
