This is where it begins.

I am back in California.
After a long flight from St. Louis to Denver and then Denver to Sacramento, I finally made it back to California. It was a long ride from Sacramento to Redway, but I enjoyed the scenery that I had missed so much!!
For these next couple of days I am staying with a very nice, fun, upbeat lady until my permanent summer arrangements go into effect.
Yesterday when I got back I only had 45 minutes to take a shower and get ready for my first date with Chris!
I made it though in the nick of time.
We had a lot of fun! I don't think that I can put into words what exactly my heart feels for him. It would be impossible because words wouldn't do it justice.
I know that we are going to have a wonderful summer together, and we are both very anxious to see where God leads us.
I am suppose to relax this week, and next week I have to find a part time job. Yay!

Sign my yearbook...It's the end of another school year.

First of all, I would like to thank Chris for that first post. It was very sweet!
Second of all, I am a little new at this blog thing.
I thought that a blog like this would be a good idea to update my friends and family on what is going on in my life as a college student, and also updates on California and my relationship with Chris.
I just finished my last year at East Central. After a lot of sad goodbyes, I left Mississippi and made my way back to Highland, Illinois. I made it here safely at 11:00 a.m. tuesday morning. I was anxious the whole trip to get here and see my niece. She is precious!!!! I could just sit and hold her all day!
The past few days were fun days of visiting friends and family. I drove to Greenville and visited Sarah and Brian Knobloch who were my youth group leaders in high school. I got to see their new baby boy. He is so precious! They are such a cute family. Sarah and I were able to take a walk and catch up on some things. It was really nice!
In less than two weeks, I will be leaving for California...that is if the St. Louis area doesn't get flooded out. We are under a flood warning right now.
I am really excited about California. God is going to do some amazing things this summer. I know He is! I am excited to see the opened doors that God has for me.
Chris and I are both anxious to see what God has in store for our relationship. I am really excited about learning more about him in person, and just spending nice quality time with him.
I am pretty sure that I will be attending Greenville College in the fall. Unless God opens the door to College of the Ozarks, Greenville is where I will be. I had a meeting with coach Mac yesterday about soccer. He wants me to run three miles twice a day! ACK!!!!!
Tonight I had dinner, and spent some nice quality time with Larry and Nancy Vossel. They are a couple that I lived with my senior year of high school. It was a great time! I didn't realize how much I missed those two!
May 22 cannot get here soon enough!! I am super excited. Yay!!!

Rebecca through my lenses

I haven't known Rebecca for a year yet, but I do know that she is a blessing to all those that may cross her path. I met her in early June of 2006 and by the end of the summer I considered my time spent with her short, but definitely good. Later we began talking over IM and our relationship began to blossom into a great friendship. Now I have had the honor of calling her my girlfriend for 4 months (in 10 days) and know that she has many great qualities. She is an amazing person and a very loving and caring girlfriend. She has her ups and downs in life as we all do, but she leaves an impact with every one she meets. I am excited to see where our relationship may go. I am also excited to be able to be a part of the growth that she will experience over the next few months as a woman of God and an beautiful person.

Hopefully, this blog will be a place for here to write whatever comes to mind. Rebecca's an excellent poet, and a great writer all around. I hope you enjoy what you may find here. It should be quite interesting!

'Till next time,
