Fall at Seattle Pacific University

So I have to admit that I didn't take these, but my SMC (student ministry coordinator) did and I thought they were just gorgeous! Every day we comment on how beautiful Seattle is this time of year so thought I'd give you a little preview :) Plus the colors are just AMAZING and reminds us of God's creativity.

The view of the canal from our floor

And the clocktower by Demaray with blue skies!

Hope you guys are all having a great week!

Midterms are almost done here thankfully

But at the end of this week we will be done with week 4! Crazy how times flies!

But take lots of pictures this Friday of all the kids in their costumes, can't wait to see them :)

Camp Casey

Ashton Retreat 08

So this past weekened our dorm had our retreat at Camp Casey and I knew Aunt Becky would appreciate it so I thought I'd put up a few of our weekend :)

Here are some of the girls on our floor, there were only 5 sophomores that went, so we got to know the freshman a little bit more which was fun. But this is us on the ferry ride over

The girls of 5th East in front of the lighthouse during our scavenger hunt

In the bunkers looking for someone in the dark....(don't worry its part of the scavenger hunt)

I love this girl! She is one of the freshman right across the hall so we can see into each other's rooms and she's pre-nursing and has such a heart for God its so amazing to see! We're working on getting a small group together with girls on the floor, so thats exciting :)

Me and Kristina :) She was on my floor last year and now she's right next door! So great I love her!

It was a gorgeous day! Sunny and blue skies, but still really cold, you can see we were dressed for it though lol

Roommates :)

One of the challenges, making a pyramid w/ everybody....

we left room for the rest of our floor ;)

It was a good weekend with lots of floor bonding and lots of laughs

*Oh and a side note, I'm back volunteering at Children's (well actually they changed their name so its a little bit longer now), but Emily and I get to go there once a week which is a great outlet and study break and its just fun hanging out with kids in a health care setting :)

She's 21!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON!!!

So had to do a little blurb even because its Shannon's birthday and today she's 21 :) I don't have any pictures yet but hopefully she can put some up (with Tasha's help) from dinner tonight or she can email me some and I'll get some up later. But anyways I love you Shannon and hope you have a GREAT birthday tonight!!! I love you lots! And you are such an awesome sister!

Tell Dave hi!

My Lovely Roommate and I :)

ROOMIES!!!

This is me and my roommate Emily :)

Its so great b/c were both Pre-Nursing and have a few classes together so we can study Anatomy & Physiology on eachother :) Which we did last night for a few hrs! So great to live with a study partner!

And me on our lovely couch :)

(Were starting a collage of ppl on our couch if you can see the pictures on the wall)

And Emily.....

And us freaking out for the first day of class lol but we survived!

*PTL!!!*


Were gettin to know the girls on our floor thankfully! We took a bunch to Mosaic with us on Sunday so that was good, and survuved the very wet and rainy day yesterday :( But today made up for it because it was GORGEOUS! Sunny and blue skies! Bummer we were in class and lab from 10:30-5 :( but keeping all of you in my prayers!


LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Moving in to the dorms once again :)

WE HAVE A VIEW!!!!!

One of the GREAT things about moving up (literally) in the dorms is that I now have a gorgeous biew out of my window! And...a window that I can open to get fresh air and not be afraid of letting rodents (lovely story/scare there) into our room :)

I'm now on the 5th floor with Emily who is also pre-nursing in a double room so I have lots more space and an amazing roommate! (not that my others ones weren't they were great!)

My amazing mother and I who drove me down to Seattle, hauled ALL my stuff in and helped me move in this last Saturday :) A little tired and looking out from all the unpacking ;)

She's SO GREAT! I'm so blessed to have such an awesome mom and such a great friend! It has been such a great transition this year that I am so thankful for!

Each floor has its own theme and this year ours is "The Powerline" or "Birds on a limb" Kinda random but still catchy I think lol these are our name tags on the outside of our door to the fabulous room of 561!!!

Plus the idea of going out on a limb to become a close knit community and becoming a family is part of living in the dorms :) So great I love the girls that I'm with this year!

BEFORE....the very blank and MASSIVE cupboards above my desk (at least they seem much bigger than last year b/c I don't have to share it with 2 other girls :)

And our shelves with pictures from home (stace and tay you might recognize the big black one :)

Mother helping me put my stuff away :) Thanks again!

My Bed :) What I look forward to at the end of the day. Haha and mom with my frog...yes he came with me to college ;)

And me...now a SOPHOMORE in college! Whoa!

Time flies so enjoy every day of it and don't waste it :)

AND....this year we actually get to have a couch in our room! Another benefit of a double :) SWEET!!!

Kinda old school but we love it :)

Blessings from Seattle! I survived my first day of classes!!! Yay!!!

~LOVE YOU ALL~
