| Hello everyone! Wow, it's been such a loooong time. So I guess i'll just do a quick recap of the past oh, say 6 months of my life.
Well...let's see...after Hawaii, I finished my MCAT classes and moved home. I think adjusting to life back at home was a challenge, not because living with my family was difficult (they are actually pretty cool and understanding of my trasition) but because all of my stuff was still in boxes (some of it still is), my friends were in SD and I didn't really like going to community college. I think through this time, however, I learned that my faith is something real. That it isn't just contingent upon if I am serving at AACF and surrounded by a community of strong belivers; or if I have a solid church to go to that is close by...I realized that God is not just in those places but that I have a real relationship with Him. :) that made me happy at least.
So I started school at my local JC again...I must admit, it was strange to see my sister's friends there. I also started serving at MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) at my church watching the 4 and 5 year olds.  
I also cut my hair (that is my short hair, but that is not my baby...that's my cousin, isn't he the cutest fatest baby ever?!!)
Matt and I celebrated our 1 year :) AND we got voted most attractive couple...hahahaha.
I put the Starbucks giftcard mitten holders on my dog Cassie...isn't she so cute!
And I finally sent in all of my applications in for physical therapy school. I got accepted into Northwestern so I went to visit Chicago.
Well...I am still on my super long break before I start more classes at SMC. I will try and be more diligent in posting *cough cough* we'll see. BUT a lot of major changes are brewing so beware!

| Hello Hello.
As most of you know, I am not big on the computers...hence the few and far between posts. But I'm on vacation right now and have some downtime...even though I should be studying for the GREs. I will as soon as I finish this post...I promise!
Okay...Lets start from the beginning of last summer...one year ago!
Here I am in Switzerland. I was there for a month. I was a lot of fun and I met some pretty cool people.
