It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt.

OK, seriously, I'm not as conceited as my email says I am. Quite a lot has happened in my little life since the last time I put a post on this little blogger thing. Let's see, where do I start? Well, I went home for my little sister's graduation. It's so weird that she's graduated and is going to start college soon. She's one of the cutest girls in the whole world! Then I brought home a bunch of the family to see our home. It was very intense! Grandma came, I'm so glad she was able to come. Then there was my sister, my mom, Aunt Sandee, Aunt Jacki, Aunt Judi, Brianna, and Brittany all living in our house (which is pretty big) with me Aunt Boni, Tamara, and our roommate Sarah. Yes it was very, very, intense! A houseful of women, you can only guess what happened next...Our Uncle Fester came to visit us as well. Then the house got really small, really fast. He always takes up more room then he is welcomed! Everyone was amazed with the size of our family, but we kept telling them, this is a very small portion of the fam. I just want to let you all know that I'm glad you came and saw our home. I love sharing it with my family. Things didn't always go as planned, but I still enjoyed having you all here and in my home!
Shortly after the fam left I had my last week of school. Whoa, has that been hard to deal with. I'm waiting for substitute papers to go through, so as of right now I'm jobless. It is so scary! I've never really been without a job since I was sixteen. I got my last paycheck on the 5th, so it hasn't really been that long, but it's so scary not knowing what's going to happen next. I started to get in a funk and really freak out about a lot of things. I started to worry about the job situation and other things going on in my life and it was making me a little depressed. Then I talked to Auntie Omi! She's the bomb! She reassured me that everything always works out and God takes care of us. I already knew this of course because there's been many other times in my life that I had to rely on God and his plans for me. I'm so glad he's in control and not me. I didn't instantly feel better when I got off the phone with her, but it was nice to talk to her and have that reassurance from someone else other than myself. Later on in the day I realized that I hadn't been spending time with God and that's why I was feeling all jacked up! I was letting all these other issues cloud my mind, and letting fear and my worries take over. After that realization I was instantly feeling better. God is so cool, I've never had that quick of an attitude adjustment in my life! I was able to smile and laugh again. It was like this huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders!!! (Oh, I'm so cliche!) It's been so nice to enjoy my life again! I hate it when we get so wrapped up in our lives that we forget our focus.
Recently I sent out letters to everyone about my upcoming YWAM thing. So a lot of you will be getting letters. (If I don't have your address you need to email it to me) I can't believe it's coming so quickly! I begin school in September. Wow! That's in like less than 2 months. I'm very excited to see what God's going to do! Also, at the end of this month I'm going on a short term mission trip with my church to Pinehaven. That's a children's ranch in Montana. That's in like a couple weeks! Crazy! I'll write more about that after we go.
Oh let's see...what else...Oh yes, as some of you know, I do have a boyfriend! I know, I'm growing up so fast! I met him at my church. He works with the Kingdom Kids (elementary age) at church. And no Nicole, I'm not giving out Social Security Numbers. We've been "dating" for like 3 months, I think. I don't know, we're not really good with dates and that stuff. So, when the family came they all got to meet him. He was a little nervous because he knows how important my families' opinions are to me. But, I told him not to worry. And there was no need. Everyone approved of him. Even my sister told him he was good enough for me. Hello, that's ginormous coming from my sister! That's all the information I'm giving out for now. Just a little bit at a time!
OK, this is getting way too long. I shall write more later. Maybe another month or two?
You stay classy Washington. I'm Rebekah Lynn?
