Well!  Due to popular demand, I have decided to reappear on the Xanga scene for today.  I MISS EVERYONE!  Is anyone else ready to go back to Cedarville yet?  I am very excited for this year, to say the least. I must admit, though, that the thought of being an RA makes me nervous at times.  A good nervous!... but certainly a challenge.  I expect God to work in really miraculous ways in my life through this opportunity--and I'm praying for the other RAs and the students we'll be ministering to also.  It's gonna be SO FUN!  :)  Anyway!... Did my camping buddies enjoy the trip to PA?  I've been thinkin of you all and would like to call you guys in the next few days to hear all about it... I guess there's nothing to important to update on in my life right now.  Things are generally going well.... EXCEPT!  (oh--and my Printy 40 homies will love this!)-- I HAVE CAVITIES!  oh no!  can you even believe it?!?!  For those of you that don't know, I'm pretty much a freak when it comes to dental hygiene.  Last week I was told at the dentist that I have 3 "sticky spots."  ...whatever.  I was so upset!  I've since decided I'm not a fan of my hygienist... and I switched dentists.  haha... so now, i have to only get 1 TINY filling that I may not even have to be numbed for... we'll have to see.  That has been about the only exciting news 'round here... yes, it created a LOT of drama in my household!  haha.. I have 2 trips coming up in the next few weeks... one to OBX and another to Orlando... yeah, i'm spoiled rotten.  But I'll be most excited about coming back to fabulous CEDARVILLE, OHIO in only 4 1/2 short weeks!  wah~hoo!   :)

So... one day of work down!  It went well, an ya'll are never gonna believe this.... I MET A CHIRSTIAN!  hehe... I was so excited, I was about to cry right there in front of her.. lol.  I have been praying so much about this summer, and this job... this is amazing, and surely a blessing!  She is the first lady I met and actually the one I'll work with the most one-on-one for a while.  She has a 23 year old son who's married and a daughter my age (who I guess I look a bit like because one of the other ladies just glanced at me and thought I was her).  She's even Baptist!  hahah.  How sweet is that?

Well, they told me today was a short day... it is 11:39 and already I don't know what to do with myself....maybe I need another job.  Or maybe I should be using this time to work out or something?... eh...we'll see.

I miss my girls an awful lot already!  I say "Ladies!  Let's plan a roadtrip!" I'm gonna need a mid-summer renunion... whatdaya say!?    I hope that you're all doing well!  I love you lots!

WHERE'S THE DOORSTOP!?!   lol... Well men of the Hill (particularly Rye and Dennis), there ya have it!  ...A little taste of Printy 40... It can get pretty crazy up in here!  I'm sure there will be more where that came from, and it will probably be better too.  We're still video rookies!

Funny quote of the day:   (Jess):  My cousin had a baby!  (My Roomie):  Really!?  What kind??  HAHAHAHAHA  ... or..... (i just learned this one)... rofl

I would just like to say that Kimberly Jonker is a doll.  I never thought that it would be so fun to get a hug first thing in the mornin, but it's pretty amazing!  lol.  She pretty much made my entire week.  Thanks, Darlin! 

OH--something else cool happened... Last night, for my very first time, I watched Napoleon Dynamite.  Yes, it's true.  I really hated getting in trouble at the end, but I suppose it was worth it.  It was a night of all kinds of trouble, really.  I was pretty scared when we got a knock on the Unit door when we were filming.  It turned out OK since it was only our co-unit mates jokin around, but they yelled at us first to shut us up, and just to scare us.  ....It was a good laugh. 

Well, I'm supposed to be studyin... TWO exams tomorrow.. YIKES!   Please pray for me... You're all in my prayers this week, too. 

Wow!  The week has gone by so fast!  Praise God!  Today has been fun.  I think I may be starting to get somewhere in the search for a major... please pray for me!!  This is a big and stressful decision for me...but I'm getting really excited!  We'll see what God has in mind...

Anyway...I'm gonna be in this sweet video that is expected to be released soon.  I hear it's all the rage at the Hill!  (Hope no one ends up disappointed, though!)  OK...I'm done typing now. 

And P.S.-- Just curious... do most people agree that it's sorta the...humm.. normal thing to expect a response when you say, "Good morning" to someone?  Just wondering... I may be 'outta my gourd!'  <--(Jess!)
