I'm really good with these yearly updates, huh? I'm wondering if I should wait til January... :) Let's see... what's happened in a year... I had a couple jobs this summer, at Lady Footlocker and Big Sky Airlines, both in Billings, that was interesting. I got to fly an airplane (at least steer it while it was in the air), a Cessna 152, that was amazing.
I purchased a car this year, Pierre, who is an eight year old Mazda Protege'. I like him a lot, and it's amazing how God provided him for me (from my mom... long story... ask and I'll tell ya!)
I joined band at HPU (in my 3rd year... 3rd out of FIVE!) and I'm membership educating the Delta Upsilon chapter of Tau Beta Sigma, the band service sorority this semester, it's really fun so far! I played in the pit, and I'm hoping to march the cymbals next year, but I still have a lot of learning to do for that.
My sister, Holly, got married! That was a fun time and I'm hoping to get pictures from it online sometime in the future. My roommate Tasha got engaged to Brian, my other roommate Becky got engaged to J.R., and I just found out today that Tim and Angela are engaged!
Speaking of lovey dovey things, the most exciting thing that I've done this past year is fall in love with this amazing guy, David. God has really blessed me with him, just ask me and I'll tell you ALLLLLL about him. (make sure you've got a couple hours to spare!)
I got a DVD player for Christmas, I'm definatly moving up in the technology world. I got the special edition of The Fellowship of the Ring, and I fiiiinnnaalllyyy saw The Two Towers! It was awesome and I want to see it again!!! If you aren't obssessed-- I mean interested in the Lord of the Rings stuff, you SHOULD be!!! Go read the books, then watch to movies.
Wow, so much has happened since I last updated this.
I'm in a band, we've been writing a lot and playing together a lot. I think God is really going to use us. We still don't have a name, so if you have any ideas, e-mail them to me!
I'm into my 4th semester at HPU and I still love it. I finally declared my major: music education. It will be hard, but I think it's what God wants me to do. God is blessing me immensly and things are going very well for me.
My sister recently got engaged (wedding is Sept. 6) as well as my friends Julia and Shane (wedding July 30). Pretty scary, but I'm really excited.
I'm reading "The Two Towers" by J.R.R. Tolkien, second in the Lord of the Rings series. I loved the movie and am really enjoying the books. I've even learned how to write in Elvish and Dwarvish!
Overall, God is just so awesome and keeps me relying on Him. He keeps fulfilling His promises!
God is so amazing! I am at school right now, going to class and being and R.A. It is a lot of fun! It's hard work, but I like it. God has given me so many oppertunities to sing this year... the worship team at church, Bible studies, and even a chance to record. God has amazingly blessed me in so many ways besides that, too: my friends, the girls on my hall, the other RA's. God is so wonderful!
I just found out that I got a job as a RA (resident assistant) for next year! I am SOOOO excited! God is so amazing to have blessed me with this opportunity and this job. I am getting ready to go to Kansas tomorrow for Easter with my friend Danielle. How fun! We just finished scheduling class for next semester. I'll be busy but it wil lbe a lot of fun. I'm taking classes like guitar and Greek and I made A Cappella choir. I'm excited!
Well, I'm in Texas right now, going to college. *Go Jackets!* God is really working in my life right now, and I'm feeling a call to do missions work. I'm not really sure what God has planned for me, but I know it's big, because the devils working really hard. I'll just have to wait and see what God wants me to do!
Last Friday, I went to an event called The Gathering. It was an awesome time of fellowship and worship with other Christians my age. During the prayer time, God revealed to me why He moved me to Montana. He gave me a new church family, new friends (Christian ones), and a new situation so that I could grow closer to him. I knew I needed to grow closer to God, but I kept putting it off, saying I would do it when I got to college. But that wasn't God's plan. He wanted me to grow closer to Him NOW, because He has something big planned for me later. That's why I moved to Montana. I heard that very plainly during my prayer, and now I'm really excited to see what God is going to do! God has also answered my need for a job and has given me many new friends. He is really blessing me here, and I know He will continue to do so as I prepare for college!

I got a computer today! It's an HP Pavilion and I really like it so far! I moved to Montana yesterday... it was sad, but I'm quickly adjusting! I'm looking for a job and getting ready to go to college in Texas. I'm excited!!

Next week I go and visit my parents in Montana! I'm excited, because I'm going to an Audio Adrenaline concert and I'm going snowboarding while I'm there! How fun! I still haven't gotten to go snowboarding yet, but I got new gloves and goggles! God has really been trying to get my attention lately. I've decided I need to get back in God's will, doing what He really wants me do to. Lately I've been all talk, now I need to match my walk with God up to that.

I am now living with my friend Skye, still in Montrose. My parents and little sis are in Montana. God chose to move my dad to Trinity Baptist Chruch in Billings. We just bought a new house up there last Friday. We are going to live in a nice sized city, and all the people there are so nice! I'm staying in Montrose to finish the school year, though, either in January or in May, I haven't decided yet. My older sis is still here, too, staying with another family. It's not too bad, living without my family, but I just can't wait till I get to go up there for Christmas!

I just got back from vacation in Washington DC and some other places on the East Coast like Gettysburg, Virgnia Beach and Williamsburg. It was neat. We saw an endless array of monuments and stuff... Lincoln Memorial, Ford's Theatre, the Capitol, the White House (we were there when the President landed), the Korean and Veitnam war memorials, Iwo Jima, Arlington Cemetary.. and whole bunch more. And for the trip to Williamsburg and Va. Beach from DC, we rented a 99 Chrysler Sebring Convertible! It was awesome. I hope to have pictures from the trip up soon.
Camp this year was so awesome... in the worship services, you could really feel God's presence, and everyone could feel the Holy Spirit moving there. Real worship of God is one of the coolest feelings one could have. God has never felt so REAL to me before. Have you heard of the story about Moses and the burning bush you know, when God told Moses to take off his shoes cause he was standing on holy ground? Well, during one of the worship, I felt that I just HAD to take off my shoes, because I was in a holy place. It was so fantastic.
with my life, either. And then, the Holy Spirit convicted me of what I was doing wrong. After that, I just felt so much better. I knew I'd had a problem, but God pointed it out to be, so it could be fixed.
