Catching Up

A half a year later and a lot has changed. Needless to say, I have fallen behind. I am now an SOU Alumni, class of 2011. The ceremony wasn't quite as I had always imagined it. I was in the front row with some of the most amazing people I've ever met, next to one of the best friends God could have given me, and the storm cloud above us just didn't want to hold out. After a couple hours in the semi-chilly weather and hearing hundreds of names of people I had never heard of, it was over.

A handful of the Anthropology grads...Brooke, Erinn, myself, Kevin, Randi, Emma.

Can you say 'happy'?
Don't get too excited, they're empty.
Since graduation I haven't done a whole lot except work to pay off my bill. I'm an official graduate minus the degree while I owe the school, boo. Much has happened within myself, changing who I am and who I want to be. I have started looking into Biblical Archaeology, with a somewhat refined goal of going to Israel to study. Any archaeology job would be great, but I feel a pull towards showing what the Lord has done in our past and showing people His amazing works.

I am in the process of planning a huge trip to Universal Studios in Orlando with some friends from work. If we can get the group together that wants to go, we will be going later this fall, gone for 5 days, romping around 2 parks, visiting Hard Rock, maybe jumping in the ocean, and then coming back for the holiday season. I need a vacation.

A very brief session trying to cover half a year of my crazy life, but hopefully I can start keeping up with more fun events!
