life lately

• it's mid october and snow has fallen twice so far. if this means that spring comes early, i'm totally cool with it:)
• i'm on fall break. i love fall break. yum.
• emilie brown made a surprise visit to minneapolis last week. she was here for 5 days. it was so great to see her again! lots of laughing and singing!
• i've been able to go to BCS chapel two weeks in a row. it's really great!
• i'm really excited about youth group sunday school this year. the topic is biblical manhood and womanhood. and my small group leader is rachel giesbrecht. she is awesome.
• i'm loving our family's small group. anna and jon have joined, way fun. i'm especially enjoying kristin dearth. what a sweet, wise, funny woman!
• i adore this year's insight students. they are so sweet and hilarious. i love spending time with them!
• a few of my favorite songs right now: put your records on (corrine bailey rae), shadowfeet (brooke fraser), traveling soldier (dixie chicks), need you now (lady antebellum), i'd rather be with you (joshua radin), don't stop believing (journey), the way you make me feel (michael jackson).
• last week, i hung out with last years students at heather's flickinger's house. we played scattergories and laughed a lot.
• anna bramble is in nebraska for a week. she left on tuesday, i cannot wait for her to come back:)
