More pics from Chicago....

Natalie, Me, and Liz after our night on the town...so much fun! I love these girls!



Me and AMAZING desert at an AMAZING rastaurant in Chicago!


I love this pic....those buildings are SO huge!


So here is the famous pic I've been telling everyone and their brother about. We went to see Blue Man Group and it was incredible. If you don't know what it is it's hard to explain, but it's a must see performance. They don't talk or smile, but they are HILARIOUS and they are amazing musicians. That's the best I can do. But anyways...I'm pretty proud of the fact that I made this blue man smile. I asked him for a blue man kiss and he couldn't keep the blank expression. I was pretty happy in this pic and it was probably the highlight of my weekend. So I'm in love. yep. that's it...So here it is:


This was at the Field's museum...Nat, Lizzy and Me. I have no idea what animal that is we are posing in front of and I have no idea why we are standing like that as if the camera can't get the full length of our bodies. Whatever. I like this picture anyway.

Chicago!!!

My perfect blue man kiss:

For the Rhynos...

This was at the Field's Museum in Chicago. I went for the long weekend with one of my wonderful friends Liz(to her house) and another good friend Natalie. It was an amazing weekend. I'll post more pics from the trip later and write about it a little more. But this is dedicated to the Rhyno's! It's a real stuffed Rhino from Africa! IT was SOOO BIG!!! Anyways, I immediately thought of you guys and knew I had to take a pic. I wish it turned out better. But I miss you guys and think of you all often :) Love you!

I AM NOCTURNAL!!!

It´s 530 am....I am on a computer in my dorm´s computer lab and my keyboard down here is a french one I think. Why the heck is there a french keyboard! So when I try to put a colon this is what happens Ñ....so I don´t know what that is but that´s a colon. This post may not make a whole lot of sense either, but I just had the urge to write.
I miss home...I´m not really homesick I guess, but I miss people. My friends especially....and my kitties...they are my best friends and I miss them SOOO much! And Rhynos...I miss you guys A LOT! And I think about you guys all the time. I hope you are doing well and that the kids are doing well in school and everything. I´m going to give you guys a call soon and catch up! Love you!
I´ve decided that I am nocturnal. No joke. I am. I´ve always been a night owl and anyone who knows me knows I am NOT a morning person. But this whole college experience really brought the two extremes out in me. I never sleep at night...like right now it´s 538 and I am just beginning to feel fatigued. Tomorrow morning I will want to die, but I will nap in between and during my classes. Haha just joking mom.....
So everything is going well here....I still love all my classes. New Testament is my favorite. The prof is amazing and I feel like he´s one of my friends. Hes just such a godly man and when I walk into his classroom the spirit of God immediately draws me. There have been several classes in which the Spritit of God falls so heavily on me through his annointed teaching of the Word that when he dismisses the class I am stunned. Several times I have stayed in my seat and cried because God used his words so directly. I am seriously considering going on a missions trip lead by him to Zambia Africa. I am in the application process right now. God has birthed in me a passion for helping the AIDS crisis in Africa. That is a whole other blog post that I will get to soon, but He has just put opportunities in my lap and lead me to people and things that have added fuel to this fire. I am so humbled by and in love with my God right now. I´ve grown more in the past 6 months than I ever have in my whole life. So that´s a mini spiritual update. I´ll fill you in on the whole Africa passion thing soon.
Well I miss you all so very very much...Rhyno´s, Erskines, and my family in PEI...been thinking about you all a lot lately. Stay in touch. I love yo

Majesty

Just the other day, I came out of a 7:50 class making my way back to my dorm to take a much needed nap. For those of you who know me, I am NOT a morning person, so I was intently focused on getting back to bed. As I was sleepily walking I began noticing that people were stopped all over the sidewalks dead in their tracks just staring up at the sky. I was confused as to why until I lifted my own head up to the sky. I quickly forgot about my nap and forgot that I was walking anywhere at all. I was amazed at the clouds in these pictures. I rarely realize the splendor of the Almighty in the way I did in that moment. He's huge. He's everywhere and in everything. He's majestic. And that's what I was staring at: The beauty and the majesty of the King. It's tornado season here in Indiana so I've seen some crazy storms, but this was the first time I saw clouds like this. Ever in my life. The pictures don't even come close to what it looked like to see the entire expanse of the sky like this, but I thought I would post a few pictures. It was absolutley incredible.
