Picture Update

Long awaited Update!

I have so much to update you on so I shall update you briefly on everything in Pictures and captions!!

This here is my French Breakfast Club. We made lunches and Green Smoothies every morning at 7:00 AM. In addition to this, we all speak French. Oui. ;)

And all know how to "trow up a shaka" as they say in Hawaii. I don't know if Josh really knows how to... He's from Chad Africa....








This is Gabi! She's my friend now. :) 

Here are the Female Leaders of the Health Practicum. White, Mexican, and Japanese. We're so cool.

The Day after the Practicum ended I decided I needed a change... so I had my hair completely CHOPPED OFF. I donated it to Locks of Love. 

This is a Picture of me after Bonnie finished cutting and styling. 

After I cut my hair, it was time for Spring Break. YAY! So I stayed with my best friend Heidi and her husband and he took us surfing! *Thanks Amy for letting me borrow the wetsuit!*

Honestly... we only look legit. All we did was stand in the baby waves and get knocked over while holding a board and wearing a wetsuit. . . But don't we look so cool!!! 

Above we have some of my favorite people in the entire world!! They are the people I spent the last two winter practicums with! Developing the Health Practicum for SOULS West. The bottom row holding certificates were the most recent track and they were certified as Lifestyle Coaches during the last 10 weeks. 

Then it's back to normal SOULS Life! Visiting CCC Member Joel came by and happened to sit with Danielle and I and I realized "THIS IS THE PERFECT SELFIE OPPORTUNITY!" The three of us led together in 2012. Then two of our students from that program walked by and....

we had to take a picture with them too! I'm so proud of both of them becoming more experienced and mature in the Lord and in life. :) 

Last (but certainly not least) I have acquired a beta fish! His name is SGT. (Sargent) It's an abbreviation for Sakanakun Gourmet Talapia. Sakanakun means "Boy Fish" in Japanese. And because it was an expensive beta my roommate Monica said we should eat him. Like a Gourmet Talapia. HAHA. So I call him Sargent. :) Sargent Talapia. It's only been 48 hours but I love him so much. :) 


That has been an update on my life! Sometime in the future I'll post another update. :) 

Bye!

    I love how you and Heidi only "look" legit! Is SGT the one who got eaten by a bird?

    Haha -- I know right? We really got tossed around.
    Yes, Sgt. was the one eaten by the bird. I suppose I should write a post about that in case some stranger is reading this and thinking, "Man, a fish! I should get one!" they should be properly warned. :(

Fire Drill...?

Fair warning: This is a long post. Take two days to read it if you're overwhelmed. If you're procrastinating, definitely take some time to read it now. :) Wednesday morning started out just like any other day at Weimar. But at lunchtime, we got a surprise!!! An Obermiller visit!! Accompanied by Kasee, Ipo, and... and... Oh no. I forgot his name. I know his last name is Hyde! After eating and socializing, we went outside and saw..... THIS! Okay maybe we didn't see this particularly. This was just across the street. But we did see this: Smoke was billowing, "Prepare to evacuate!" was ringing across campus. Mothers were scooping up crying children and running to their homes to pack their most important things (Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories--true story) and college students jumping in the air rejoicing their good fortune (Psychology class isn't a favorite I guess...?) at classes being cancelled. Animals are being loaded into their cages a

The Problem with All or Nothing

Image
Are you familiar with Cognitive Distortions? If not, you should be. Understanding them may greatly impact your life for the better. One of my strongest distortions is All or Nothing thinking. I'm coming to realize that this invades every area of my life. - Job Tasks - Hobbies - Spiritual Convictions - Reading Books (I have read through an entire series of books in 2-3 days. Pages and pages of information. Done. Because I had to finish the series. It's a problem.) - Relationships - Food - Facebook While I'd love to discuss and throw around ideas about all of these areas, the one I'm most hit with right now is actually..... Facebook! I deleted my profile (Completely deleted it, like, gone gone. No re-active life for me) in July of 2012 and was FB free for 2+ years. Why? There were many reasons. But in August (I think?) of this year I decided to open it up again because I was moving to Spokane in January and wanted to keep in touch with several friends that

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT

ATTENTION ALL SOULS TRACK 1 STUDENTS IN THE HEALTH PROGRAM!!! Okay, now that I have EVERYONE's attention (because really, who didn't want to keep reading after that intro?) I'd like to disclose some information. Remember that line in the canvass about your friend who has followed the principles in these books and has only been sick once in the last 15 years?? ... then that said friend got sick during the practicum...? ... and that said friend said it was "allergies".... IT'S TRUE!! When I got home to Bisbee recently, I started feeling sick. Sore throat, coughing, congestion, headache, etc. It didn't get better after a few days and I was resting and drinking lots of water and doing all those awesome things that should make me feel better but it wasn't working. So my beautiful mother suggested I go visit her at work when Dr. P was in so he could check out my illness. After going and telling him my symptoms and him observing the insides of m
