This is what happens when you spend time with family!





love happens.

everyday, it's You I live for.

So recently i've been thinking about last summer and working at Clydehurst Christian Ranch. I miss it so much! i was looking through pictures and am so grateful for the opportunity. It was unexplainable. I miss the people, the staff, my summer home. God truly worked there. I miss the mountain air, the carefree adventure. Sometimes i wish I could escape there and stay forever.

cousins.

How can you not love these faces?! these are my cousins; they are so great!

Palm Beach Atlantic.

Today was the end of my first week of school. Not bad i must say. I figured you may want to see what my school and the downtown of West Palm Beach looks like, so i looked like a tourist and took some pics!

Here is the building on the corner of Dixie and Okeechobee (2 streets).
..
This is the Greene Complex..also known as the gym..well the front at least.
..
Okeechobee..its fun to say.
...
These next few pics were taken from school on my way to city place (which for those in Riverside is about the same as the plaza..except different stores!)
...
...
Panera is my favorite! sorry it's sideways.

...

This is the parking garage where I will now be parking.
...
this is my house..well..where i live.
..

and just for good measure..i spent the evening babysitting my cousin Autumn, and I couldn't resist her cuteness.

no school on Mondays. I think i can get used to this.

you may be wondering.

I'm in Florida now! I arrived on tuesday and have been busy..yet it has not been stressful at all. I am living with my aunt and uncle, and it has been great! On wednesday my dad and I drove down to Palm Beach Atlantic University, which is where i will be going to school. It takes about 20 mins to get there. I was able to get my schedule organized, which was very helpful. I registered for 15 units, which was about all i could get into because i registered pretty late. They campus was really nice, and is right on the intercoastal waterway. Palm trees everywhere! We hit up Panera Bread which is 1) my favorite place, and 2) so close to the school so i can study there!. It is located at City Place, which for those of you at CBU is exactly like the plaza..except they have classy stores and macy's and such. I had to go back to school on Thursday, which was my official check in day. I got my I.D. card and bought my books and am now ready to go! i have no monday classes so next tuesday i begin!

It has been cold this week, which is rare because it's usually so humid you dry off after a shower and are still wet (gross yes). However, it is raining today, and a high of 51 degrees. I think i'll save running for another day.

Last night we had a bunch of kids over from the college group from the church i will be attending. It was really nice to meet some new people, so of which attend PBA and some who have already graduated. We ate, played wii, and apples to apples bible edition (so funny).

I am enjoying my time here. My dad left today, so i think now that he is gone it will start sinking in that i am here. I somewhat still feel like i am on vacation and will be leaving soon, but that is not the case. I could use prayer so that I will adjust easily, and just really focus on the Lord in the free time I have, and find ways to get involved and be intentional.

also, I really should get a job.

Hope this new year is starting well for everyone else. God really is good!
