Spring Break.. minus the break

So it has been about two months since I've blogged. Needless to say this semester has been extremely busy with school, work and Phi Mu.

To Update:

Classes are going well, I am taking 18 credits so it is a pretty full load. I am taking a Children's Literature class, which I really enjoy because it is helping me with my future career as a Kindergarten teacher. I am writing a paper in that class about Harry Potter, yes be jealous. I think I might be ADD though or ADHD because I have been having a very difficult time focusing on school work, while I get things done it is a struggle to concentrate. I might get it checked out?

I took a little (little sister) in Phi Mu and I absolutely adore her, along with the other 20 new girls we got during formal recruitment this spring. They are absolutely amazing young women and awesome additions to our chapter. We just had big/little week this past week so I got to spoil my little a lot and throw her off so she doesn't know I am her big. Revealing is next Sunday and I can't wait for her to officially join my AMAZING FAMILY !!! Especially because my big and my grandbig are graduating in May and I am going to be devastated. More on my little later when the secret is out :)

I have been anxiously been awaiting the arrival of Chris and Emily Dowdy's new baby Charley ! When I read her blog and found out I literally screamed. I was so excited when there oldest Sam was born two years ago, he was like my own, like at the Senior Athletic Banquet when I was carrying him around, one of the parents there asked if he was mine ! haha (thank you Emily for letting me steal him away at all of the soccer games and functions). I can't believe how big he is now, I remember when Emily brought him to soccer practice when he was a week old so I could see him and now he can talk. Baby boy Dowdy was completely adorable and I fell in love with him at first sight, so I am positive baby girl Dowdy is gonna be just as wonderful! Any day now Emily!

I just found out a few weeks ago that I was placed at Windy Gap this July for Summer Staff. Windy Gap is a Young Life camp in North Carolina, and I will be there for four weeks working in the snack shack and serving the Lord. I did the same thing last summer at Sharp Top Cove, a YL camp in Georgia and that month was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I can not wait to see what this summer will hold and how much I will grow as a Christian. I was very excited when I found out my friend Annie will be on Summer Staff with me at the same time!

I am completely insane, and probably a certified workaholic. I am working just over 70 hours this Spring Break between Katie's and the RAC. The money will be nice but I would love nothing more than to be on the beach right now, just relaxing. Maybe next year?

Well that is all for now I will try to update more frequently.
