A Visit from Vizcarra

Frizbee golf is what it's all about on sunny days here. But that wasn 't the highlight of my week by far. A certain Vizcarra flew all the way from Southern on midterm break just to drop in and say hello. We had a ton of fun while he was here for 4 1/2 days. Above is the frizbee golf crew for the day, Shane, Danelle, Steve, Carley, Cody, me, and Aaron. Danelle is throwing like a mad woman in this picture, but she had an unfortunate collision with a tree about 4 feet from her, which explains the look on her face (don't worry Danelle, I did the same thing on that hole). I couldn't believe that Aaron and I actually tied on his second game ever! And I have played probably 20 or so. That's my boyfriend for ya!

Wow, so my week was crazy! Two tests and three quizzes within three days of each other. I also drove to Spokane on Wednesday to pick up Aaron, then went again on Sabbath to take him back. Fun times, but not on the way back by myself. :( We spent Saturday night and Sunday chillin with his mom, Andrew and Ellie. I also got to visit with my mom at the valley mall for lunch. It's so nice to be so close to home and visit with family. I can't wait to go back to visit my new baby cousin, Tyler Lee Thompson. He is 2 1/2 weeks old and just the cuddlist thing ever! I'll get some pictures of him on here next time.

A Wilkens Weekend

Fun times here at Walla Walla! We just had dinner at Mindy's with her parents, sister, brother, and grandparents. An old friend of mine will probably appreciate these pictures because they are her family. But I would rather not mention her name because she never calls me when she's locked out of her room or even mentions my name on her blog. I figured that out when Ashley and Joel came over to visit and we read some blogs that made no mention of any of us. SO sad! So basically I'm having all the fun with her family this Sabbath. We'll probably head to the park this afternoon cause it's perfect weather right now! Mindy and I are going to crochet and knit our scarfs outside. Maybe I'll add more pictures tonight after our super fun day. Later!

Take it slow

Wow, I'm such a boring/bad blogger! No updates, no pictures, no nothing for a while now. Sorry Em! Dewann did recover my digital camera under a pile of junk in some corner of some random room at Mivoden. YAH! So pictures are on the way soon...

The reason for my current lack of creativity and energy spent on this page is because I need all my little brain cells to focus on my school work. Ok, fine, that's not ALL I'm using them for! One word...LOST. If you haven't seen the show, it's a hit in my book! My brother got the first season and we are on disc 5 now.

Wally World just had a week of prayer put on by Karl Hafner. He is so inspired by God and his message really stuck with me. Monday's talk was about speed and how we have entirely too much of it. There's no way I can reproduce his skillful sermon, but I just want to encourage you to slow down a bit. Make sure to appreciate the blessings around you while you have them. Walk slower, sit longer with your friends at lunch, take a few minutes to pray. Slowing down this week made me less stressed and I still got everything done. Amazing how that works.

Happy Sabbath!
