What a valentines day I had. Adam and I had decided to postpone until this weekend when I was done with school and clinicals and he didn't have to work. It kind of snuck up on me and him both.

Anyways I suppose I had an emotional valentines day at that. I spent the first have with  anticipation, excitement, and tears at being able to witness God's amazing way of bringing life into this world. I spent my day in labor and delivery and witnessed a birth. It was so beautiful and amazing. God is wonderful and makes all things beautiful.

I spent the latter part of my night also with tears but of a different kind. They were tears of sorrow at the fact that a wonderful person was taken out of this world tragically. But the fact still remains that God is wonderful and makes all things bright and beautiful. Mary Helen was beautiful inside and out. She is now in a place that matches the beauty that was within. It is sad that she is gone, and I know many are upset and confused as I am, but it is also peaceful to think that she is in a place with no tears or pain. She is with our Father and we will see her again someday.

My condolences (sp?) go out to all that were close to her and I pray for you comfort and a peace of mind.

My prayers are with Grace that she may recover fully.

I have a blurp now coming from a nursing major: I am so glad that Mary's parents decided to donate her organs. Everyone should be an organ donor. It's a little closer to becoming like Jesus even though we may not be in this world any longer. As we leave this world at young or old, we can give others the chance to have life. Think about that. . .

I know what you are all thinking, "Didn't she fall off the xanga face of the earth after she got married." Well I didn't fall completely but I was hanging by a thread. I should change my name on here now that my last name is no longer Lee, but I'm lazy. Anyways I am almost through with my much needed 3 and 1/2 week break. Classes start Wednesday but I only have one and then don't have any till Friday officially.

Lets see the great things that happened over break:

Adam and I spent time with his family and mine

We bought a new and much needed computer!

I got a lot of much needed sleep, cleaned a lot, and worked out a lot.

Adam and I are reading the Bible at night and so far we haven't missed a night. We are doing a different method than starting at Genesis and going to Revelation. It started in John (which we finished) then goes to Genesis, exodus and skips around a bit. I like it.

I have been working out (haven't quite caught up on a semesters worth of not working out but I hope to continue to work out into the semester).

We placed membership at Highway officially, and are going to be more involved.

Our Boston team is coming this weekend for final decisions before they move this summer.

We got another kitten. We have two (Dexter and Jasmine) who are almost two years old and now have Adeline, who is 9 weeks old and oh so cute. She makes me laugh because she is so clumsy. She is in the picture above.

Anyways, that is all I can say for now. Hope this was good enough for you Natalie.

So I am back from an awesome week at Camp Leatherwood. I love that place. It's true that great things happen on Short Mountain, but awesome spiritual things happen in the dust. It's a great experience for getting out of your comfort zone and getting to know knew people. There were 20 something baptisms, 25 restorations and many more hearts touched. I know mine was and if I can I want to go back next year. I had a blast, even though it was hot and dusty and I got sunburned. Great discussions were had sitting around on the swing and porch during the afternoons. I met so many wonderful people this week. It's been my favorite of the two weeks for the last 4 years. I love it and will miss it dearly. I know I feel closer to God. Yes people camp isn't just for the campers, it's for the staff too. I will miss everyone after I begin a new part of my life with a wonderful man but even if I can not return Leatherwood, and short mountain, will remain a very important part of my past and will not be forgotten.

Anyways now it is back to Wedding stuff. Jerry and Chris are gone this week so I must plan for our ETN mission trip (if you are going, let me know soon) and also get a lot of wedding stuff done b/c it is less than a month away.-28 days to be exact (4 weeks from today). I'm so excited but I miss Adam so much. Next weekend we will be going to get our marriage liscence :).
