Spring Break in 9 days!!!!  WOOHOO.  I am SO excited.  My room of girls will be awesome.  Me, Lauren, Grace, Autumn, Betsy, and Natalie.  Fantastic.  And I get to drive down instead of take the bus.  Equally awesome.  Well, parents said no on driving, but I'm kinda gonna do it anyways, and work on talking them into it.  I can do that.  I am seriously excited.  I don't think you could ask for a better Spring Break than going to Florida with your best friends for a week and telling people about God.  Can't get better. 

I went back to Cincy this weekend.  Took Lauren and Grace with me for protection.  And we had a fun weekend.  First good weekend I've had at home in, well, ever.  Baked on Friday night, slept in Saturday morning, went shopping all day, saw my highschools big musical which was awesome, went to Newport, then came back on Sunday morning.  Super fun.  Only downside, I forgot a bunch of clothes in the laundry room and my dad wouldn't let us turn around and get them, even though we were only 10 minutes away from the house.  But my mom put them in the mail for me, so its all good.  Anyways, I've been procrastinating, so I'm gonna go do some homework now.

I go back to school in the morning.  I couldn't be happier.  Christmas Conference was absolutely amazing.  Possibly the best experience of my life.  And those of you who know how passionate I am about my kids in Mexico know that is a big statement.  Christmas Conference was right up there with Mexico, if not better.  As hard as it was to be there and hear and deal some major things, it was amazing.  God is so awesome.  At night talking, people would always think of verses for me, and in the morning, at least one of them was always what I was reading in my quiet time.  And the talk on the first and last night about how God is our Father, and our King were so perfectly timed that it was almost creepy.  And I couldn't have thought of a better way to ring in the New Year...praying with my girls and then worshiping for an hour.  So awesome.  Soon I will have a link up for pics, they're pretty crazy.

Spending time with Lauren and her family in Valpo was awesome too.  Her family is SO amazing, and I had no idea how good of a friend I had in Lauren.  It was kind of sad the first night I was back in Cincinnati, I couldn't fall asleep because I had shared a bed w/Lauren for like 9 nights in a row, and now my bed felt so big and lonely.  And there was no one to have those late night talks with, and no one to talk to me about pigs in their sleep. .  And going with 18 people to Chicago for a day was awesome too.  My first train ride, it was cool.  Plus I just love Chicago, so it was even more awesome.  And I love all 18 of us that went, and it was fun to make dinners and stuff with Lauren for everyone.  Man, I can't wait to get back to school and see everyone again.  How will I ever survive the summer being apart from these people!
