"dear everyone. God healed me of a whole bunch of stuff. He is awesome. the end." ...aka, why i love Jesus and my friends :)

i just realized i need to post 9 more blogs before the end of the year & i'll have made it to 200 blogs! woo!! that's pretty exciting i suppose :P

umm i guess this blog is just an informative kind of thing for the people i don't get to talk to as often as i'd like. since life goes a million miles an hour (as i'm sure we're all aware) i find i often forget to tell certain people important things and likewise i'm sure i miss hearing important things from them.

okay well, my weekend recap...

friday...

i did a photoshoot for a friend of mine.
he's fun to photograph & definitely something different than i'm used to so overall it was
a great experience...PLUS! i got some GREAT shots!!

blog with pics from his shoot are HERE:


after that, i had to drive (fast!) to get my oil changed and as SOON as my oil was
changed, i had to zoom off to baraboo (from lavalle mind you!) to get my tattoo!!
jen and i both were getting them, hers more complex and artsy than mine...however...
she made me go first :P haha. here are some pics from our adventures there:

after that, we stopped by Jen's friend Diana's hair shop, located not even a block away and then went to the mall, did some shopping, then back to my house for a chillaxing evening.

Saturday i was SUPPOSED to shoot my friend Katie buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut the weather was NOT cooperating and was downright cold, nasty, gray and YUCK the WHOLE day... so it became a SUPER lazy day where i quite honestly slept, ate, watched tv and that's all haha. i've not had one of those in AGES so it was kind of nice.... since i had to go to bed early to get up early the next day, it was alright with me...

SUNDAY!!

jen and i woke up at 4 a.m. to leave by 5 a.m. to go to KENOSHA!!!!!!!!! i love it :)

the drive was long but with friends, road trips never really are long at all. add some disciple and a couple epic playlists, and you've got a great 3 hour time :)

once we got to keno, we met up with heidi and got starbucks!! yeah! i drank COFFEE! and i surprisingly LOVED it! mark it on your calendars!! haha!! but for real, it was an amazing morning time catching up with heidi then we headed over to the joint meeting and yay i got to see my cara duck! :) basically, i love meetings in keno... because it just feels RIGHT. the way they speak the Word, the way they wait on God and don't just perform a setlist... the way the words brought by the elders & leaders etc are truly what God wants... the way worship is just RIGHT... it's the BEST!! and ps, the people there are amazing too! everytime i visit i meet more and more people who are just SO WONDERFUL!! this time, i met someone whose name i do not remember (i almost never do lol sorry!) but talking to him was just GREAT! umm then cara introduced me to lori and they chatted for a few, i got to see kimmy and um..there was someone else... uhh i forget now... anyways then we went to Common Ground for lunch! i LOVE that place!!! umm then heidi went to a play, and cara and jen and i went to the mall in racine to kill some time and shop and just hang out yeah! umm 50% off clearance at hot topic, that's all i'm sayin!!!!!!!!! :) then we went to get heidi and to cara's house, then this AMAZING pizza place down by the lake that i forget the name of (see? i suck haha) where they had DOUBLE DECKER pizzas!! wow was that good stuff!! after dinner we headed over to the building where the spark played & they set in some new elders! yeah!! it was sooo great to be there! those guys are definitely meant to be fulfilling those roles. after that, i got to talk to some people i hadn't seen in MONTHS like bethany, tom, john... it was just WONDERFUL! but then we had to go and cara took jen & i back to my car and instead of leaving right away.. haha... we talked for like 2 and a half almost 3 hours xD but it was okay! i wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world ♥

3 hours later and we were home =)

after this weekend i'm absolutely certain about some things that God's BEEN speaking to me for awhile and i was hesitant about, and i am also certain about some new things He's told me...
not only all of that but i am just SO EXCITED about what He is doing and going to do!!

i ♥ Him :)


the end!
