Fargo... Yes for Spring Break

So for Spring Break the BCM sent out four different teams to Philly, Arlington, Panama City and Fargo. So where did I go?

Fargo, ND.

We are here helping with a church planting movement called MissionFargo. So three college students and myself are here to scope out the area and help do research, as well as talk with the local fargo people.

Yesterday we hung out in coffee shops and on campus in the student center to get a feel for who hangs out where.

The one downfall we have run into?? The weather. It has been snowing (well it is Fargo you know) and today is a blizzard! So most people havent been out and about. So it has made it difficult to talk to people or do much research.

Today we are stuck in the church we are staying at. Bc there is a BLIZZARD. Really a BLIZZARD! Crazy. Ill keep you posted.

i know i am bad at this.. but there is hope

so i havent posted in forever! but i have a good reason i promise hehe! my laptop is dying... pretty much dying. now it is quite old in laptop years and it has given alot in its days, so there are no hard feelings really... although i yell at it alot. but the really good news is...

we just bought a new one! and it will be here soon! so expect alot more info from me... although no one actualy reads this... so good ol internet rest assured i will tell you all about my life! ha!

thanksgiving... about a month later

Well I know Thanksgiving was almost a month ago! But I have just not had time to blog about it til now. It was a fabulous day. This year we stayed home and had Justin's Mom, Grandma, Sheldon and Dustin over, as well as Gary and Becky.

So I cooked a Turkey. And it was surprisingly good. Anyhow, the food was great. But I just loved actually having a great day to relax with my hubby in my new home!! As newlyweds, we are usually the ones traveling to our families and never at home. While I like that most of the time bc it is like getting away, this year staying home was just what I needed. A few posts ago I talked about my favorite place on earth- my backyard. And at Thanksgiving we made another fire and had smores again!! Yay!! Here are some pics.

Tag I'm It!!

Ok so it took me a long time to follow thru with this- mostly bc I didnt have a clue how to "link". But I will give it a shot! Cheye tagged me, and now here I go:

#1. I am terrified of the dark... I mean terrified. I dont like being home alone in the dark, I pretty much wont walk around in the dark etc. I have been begging Justin for a night light lately, but he says I need to face my fears! hehe

#2. If I could have done anything with my life without the fear of failing, I would have been a dancer. (Like ballet or jazz kind of dancer- dont get too imaginative!) Or a chef, or a photographer. Or a lawyer... ok I had alot of dreams! hehe

#3. I love love love the internet! I could play on the internet all day without getting bored. Seriously!

#4. When I go to the supermarket I go into a trance. Suddenly I am slowly gazing at everything and imagining if I was a rich person or chef that could cook all these amazing gourmet things. If I am not careful I could spend two hours in there and not even notice (ok I have done it but not very many times)!

#5. In high school, I ate Easy Mac for breakfast everyday. Then (in the summers) I would have salmon and easy mac for lunch. No joke. It was what I lived on. And I was under 100 pounds... oh the irony of that!

#6. I suffer from seasonal depression (self diagnoised... i have never seen a doctor about it). Every winter once it is cold and gets dark at 4pm, I turn into a blah creature. I dont like to move, go anywhere or do anything but sit on my couch. I sometimes even lose the ability to have an intelligent adult conversation. I really should live somewhere that skips the season altogether!

#7. I hate to bathe. Really I know I am a dirty girl, but I just do not enjoy the whole cleaning up and having to get ready again process. To bad God has not put me in Europe!! geez!!

Ok so now I will tag Kristi, Nat (although I doubt she will do it), Peace, Megan, Abby, Crystal, Emily, and Regina. Basically the only other bloggers I know! hehe!
