Moving Forward

This past week has been so busy, and fun! On Monday, we ordered our graduation caps, gowns, tassels, and diploma covers. It said it would take 4-6 weeks, but They arrived on Thursday. Such a day of excitement!!! =) I just had to try it on! Also, Mom started my graduation dress, and my invitations are all printed and ready to go. They are sooo awesome looking!

Tuesday, we had our pastors family over for dinner, and we had fun fellowship, and a game of Apples to Apples. One of my favorite games, if played with the right people! =)

Wednesday, was a pretty calm day for me. We had church in the evening, which is always nice to see my friends in the middle of the week.

Thursday, Two of my friends were over in the afternoon, and all 4 of us girls went to the church for packing the orders in the evening.

Friday, I went to My friends house(our spanish pastors family) to help serve the Spanish valentine banquet, then i spent the night.

Saturday, I spent most of the day with them. We did some sewing, and then a bunch of us played some games, and went out in the woods for a while, and did some just hanging out and talking. =) It was pretty fun.

Sunday, I went back to their house for the afternoon, then on to the spanish service. I had a headache, and was pretty tired and sore from spending part of 3 days with them... Quite a rambunctious group!

And today is back to Monday.... =) back to school... and sewing... and more school... and cleaning... Life goes on!

This past week, i have been reminded of some verses in Ecclesiastes:


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
 a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 
A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace."

Well, Life has settled back into school routine, and Ive been keeping the normal pace of busy. Church on Sundays, including Playing violin in the orchestra both English services and sunday school, Spanish service, and Nursery sunday school for the spanish service; School Moday through Friday, Monday, coming to the library; Wednesday, church; Thursday Packing orders; Saturday, we have been working at dads basketball games; and back around to Sunday. I enjoy staying busy! I honestly got very lazy and bored during break.

School has been going as well as can be expected. We have 64 lessons left, and our graduation date is 3 months away. Im getting sooo excited!!!! =)

Time is going so fast, I cant believe it is already February... it seems like just yesterday, I was at our church, spending New Years Eve with my most wonderful friends... *sigh* life is slipping away behind me. I have so much to look forward to, and i have to keep myself from spending every moment looking forward. I need to focus on making today count! I need to learn to live in the present, not the future. And I hope you all are too! =)
