Excited for the year to come

So today I'm writing my first blog ever...so we shall she how this goes.

Things had been hectic and stressful at the end of last year, and beginning of this year. So much that at times...I'll admit it was to say the good outweighed the negative. However, things have been turning around, and I feel compelled to start writing about it.

Impact, a 20-somethings group I am involved in at Elmbrook church is something I truly enjoy attending. It's a place I can go for comfort, worship, friends, joy.... the list goes on and on. Because of work and various other things going on Wednesday nights I haven't been able to attend as often, but I'm hoping that will change soon.

However, Sundays have allowed me to start venturing to new churches to find one that I feel is right for me. So far I absolutely love the new church I have been attending, Spring Creek, and definitely can see myself becoming a member there. The pastor has excellent messages, and the worship team is amazing.

Work is going fantastic. I just recently took a part time job at Reukert Miekle, and it's great so far. I'm hoping to be full time by July.

My 2nd semester at Alverno is halfway done, and that boggles my mind. I'm halfway done to completing my second degree, and bachelors. Spring break is right around the corner.

I've been spending a lot more time with my dad, and really enjoying out close relationship as of lately. Now I just need to work on that same connection with my mother.

Softball starts soon, and I'm excited to start playing that again on Thursday nights for Paulies at Zablocki. We always have so much fun, and during the Summer I get to see a lot of the people like myself who are super busy during the semester.

The thing most occupying my mind however at the moment is my Independent Study course that will be going to Paraguay for a volunteer trip to help our professor with her non-profit. We are having a few different fundraisers including a fashion show, and a few various other parties. I also need to start saving money for the trip at the end of May. Speaking of, I can NOT believe I am going to be 24 at the end of May...yikes... time is FLYING.

Anyways, I have lots of work to get done ...and a puppy to play with... that's it for now:)
