So today I registered for my classes! I found that I have a high writing level and I was put in expository writing! Which is really cool! lol. I'm real excited about that! I also have Biology...which makes me nervous cause I dont know what to expect! No dissecting frogs for me! Hahah I don't know if they do that but my goodness I couldn't handle that! lol. Next classes are Spiritual Formation, Western Civ, Introductory Bible Study, and that it for this semester! Did I mention that I don't have a math class? Haha! Woot baby! I was so excited. I'm glad I don't have math this semester. I also got my new laptop! Its smaller than what I'm used too but I love it! Its all mine too! lol. Its pretty cool. So yeah! Today is a pretty chill day, I have like nothing to do all day! haha. So that's nice, seeing that classes start tomorrow ya know? So, yeah. lol. I'm loving every second of this, it's gonna be a great year! =)

College Beginnings

When I woke up on Saturday the day I left I had such a sense of excitement inside of me. "Today is the day I leave for Oregon" I remember thinking. The day progressed and got stressful as I tried to fit all I could for the year into three suitcases! Yeah...Three! What a chore that was. I had to call my Mom in to help me cause I was getting really frustrated. We struggled for about a half hour "trying" to fit everything. In the end not all fit, but the essentials I had. So that's the good part. After that I went and got Mom and I something to eat, we ate and had about a half hour to be together before we had to leave. We sat on the swing in our beautiful soon to be ex backyard. I will miss the beauty scene that laid before us there. God's creations are breathless sometimes. Finally it was time to go. We got a little bit behind because I forgot my wallet on the kitchen table! Haha! Yeah I did! So we ended up being a little bit late to the airport. As we were checking our bags in one of mine was 5 pounds over the limit. Choices were, I could either keep it and pay 50 dollars for a fine OR transfer somethings into another bag that had weight room. I opted for choice two! lol.

So I transfer my big CD case that was pretty much full and that took care of the 5 pounds! lol. After that Mom and I basically ran through the airport hoping we werent gonna miss our flight. We ended up getting there right in time to board with our boarding group! I felt like we were the family in Home Alone who always had to run through the airport to catch their plane! hah. Classic. We get into Portland and have dinner with my Grandparents and my Uncle Shane. We went to the Spaghetti Factory which is one of my favorite restaurants! So after waiting for over an hour we were seated and enjoyed our time together immensely.

On our way to my Grandparents' house in Albany something was happening to my Grandparents' car!! So we had to pull over on the side of the road stopping in front of a hilarious sign and had to wait for a tow truck! Yeah, I said tow truck! It was my first time in one of those and I have to say it was very interesting. As you can see by the pictures below...it was very interesting! lol. It ended up being a great night altogether. We got home around 10:30 and went to be shortly after that. The next day I arrived at EBC and registered! It was amazing fun! The girls were so great and I absolutely love my roommate. I'll get a picture with her this week and post it in a blog! But she's amazing and we are getting along famously! Its just been so great so far! My classes officially start on Thursday so I'll definitely try my best to write a blog Thursday night. Well, I better go for now. Gotta be up somewhat early. I get to sleep in at least, not having to be up at 5:30! Yay! lol. I'll write soon!

Its Coming Up Fast!

So today I got the joy of talking to my roommate!! Her name is Katie and she is adorable! Her and I are alike so much! Shes very bubbly and she added me on Facebook! Looking at her pictures and being able to talk to her..I know that God did me well choosing her as my roommate. We both have the same major so we'll be in all of the same classes! How cool is that!? Yesterday I got the Orientation Week Schedule as well! Every day it gets even more exciting! I am so excited! I honestly cant wait. God has shown me every day that He has my back and is taking care of me. He really is the only true Father that I've had. He is my Ultimate Poppa. I love God so much and he is holding me strong and steady in is arms. I was listening to some worship music last night and a song came on that touched my heart so much that I started to cry. The chorus is:

"I fear nothing at all
When I’m safe in the arms of my Father
And if I ever fall
I take comfort in knowing
That You are there."

I cried feeling my heart break all over again. I mourn the loss over my own real father...but I know that my Abba Father is taking care of me, he loves me, wants me, adores me...Im the apple of his eye like all of us are. Im just falling deeper in love with my Abba Father. He's my everything!

So its been a while since I've written. Things havent been real great. My parents are getting a divorce and my father...or so called father is out of my life for good. Thats my choice. I have lived the past 7 or 8 years of my life, watching him ruin our lives..and our family. This time, he's done enough to complete that goal. I dont know what he doesnt get about everything thats going on. Its like there this brick wall that is in his brain that wont let him grasp the reality of whats going on! He treats me like crap, makes up excuses, isnt helping my mom with anything when it comes to closing the house down and everything. He's just been a complete....sorry to say but a complete @$$!! There is no other way to describe it. He brings out the worst in me! How is that even possible that my own father brings out the worst parts of me! I dont get it! Hes clueless, and he's acting like a child! I cant stand him anymore. I wake up every morning and see my mom crying because of him! I cant take it anymore. He's outta my life for now and probably for good unless he changes. He doesnt seem to want too, so we'll see if it does happen. I believe God can do amazing things...but the person has to allow God to change them. My so called father doesnt want to change. So, I dont know. Its in Gods hands I guess. But for now, its just my Mom, Me, and my brother. Thats our family...whats left of it I guess. Im glad Im leaving for college on Saturday cause I need to get away of all this crap! I cant handle it anymore! College....will be my chance to get closer to God and be away from all of this...its coming at a perfect time I think. *sigh* Im just drained. Im over everything, Im just done.
