Well, a lot of things have happened since I last posted... some good and some bad. I did some more crafty things, I started my job as a waitress, and I've read a lot. First, I made a purse. It's incredibly small (my wallet barely fits in it!) but I needed to use some extra fabric. And then I started working. So far, I really like waitressing at the 3 Ravens. It's relatively fun, although sometimes stressful, and with the tips, it pays pretty well. Tonight was the busiest shift I've worked so far, and I was told that it wasn't even that busy, so we'll see how much I still like my job when they start scheduling me for the busy times. I've also read a lot. I read a Sarah Dessen book and have started reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I can't wait to get further into the series so I can figure out what Lisa, Josh, and Grant talk about all the time. Haha. 
   Since Taryn is home (YAY!!!! :)), I've been spending time with her. Yesterday we spend most of the day (9-5) in prayer, worship, and reading the Bible. It was great. We read all of Philippians out loud, went to the middle of nowhere and cranked up the worship music in Taryn's car, spent time apart praying for the specific requests, went on a prayer walk around town, and prayed for each other. It was so refreshing.  At IWU, it is really easy to let the school's planned activities take over my spiritual life. I go to chapel, pray in class, participate in Bowford worship nights, and go to Summit. At home, I have to be much more intentional about my spiritual life and sometimes it slips by the wayside to the rest of my activities. I loved being able to devote a whole day to prayer, and hope to do it a couple more times this summer. God is good!
   Tomorrow, I am shadowing Ms. Freemon. I am so excited. She's a school psychologist, one of the things I've been thinking about doing after grad school. I'm going to be observing some evaluations and sitting in on a meeting. Hopefully, tomorrow will give me a better idea if being a school psychologist would be something I'd be interested in doing. 
  Finally, I would like to express my sadness about Steve Carrell leaving The Office. I've been keeping up with this season, and I've never been a big Will Ferrel fan. Steve Carrell made that show for me, so we'll see how long I watch it for. 
  That is all for now. Maybe I will blog again when I have something exciting to share. :)
