Hello there! Yes, I’m still alive—no worries. I have just been consumed by obligations at school. People think that being an art major leaves a lot of free time for pleasure, but what they don’t realize is how many hours a week I spend in the studio working when they don’t even know! But, I am absolutely loving school and loving my major. So I guess that’s all that matters.
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while…I have been so busy. I even told my parents that if I posted a new blog post then they needed to sit me down and have a talk because I obviously don’t have my priorities straight. Luckily that was not necessary.
So the most eventful news in my life lately is that I am indeed still a klutz, but I can’t help what has been bred into my DNA. Back at the end of October I was working with the Marketing department at school on a photo shoot for the website. We were doing some jumping photos off of a set of stairs. After approximately 20 times, we were finally done and I realized that my foot kind of hurt. Well, I waited to get it checked out by a doctor for a whole month and by then my injury had become 2 stress fractures. So I was told that I had to wear this fancy Velcro walking boot for a month. A whole stinking month. A few days later I twisted my foot weird inside of the boot and heard a loud pop. That pop was one of the stress fractures becoming a full crack in the bone. Things were only getting worse. Now I had to use crutches. I’m doing better now though. I’m walking in the boot again and hopefully I get it off next week. But leave it to me, yes, leave it to me to fracture my foot jumping off of stairs. I guess that’s what I get for living life on the edge.
Here's a list of random facts I have recently discovered about myself:
1. All of my life I thought I hated popcorn. But, now I am officially addicted. I don't know if it is actually the popcorn itself that I like or the tasty seasonings and salt on the outside. Probably the latter.
2. Tater tots are my all time greatest comfort food. Sonic tater tots to be exact.
3. Playing the piano is very soothing. It brings my soul great joy.
4. Fireplaces make me think of Christmastime. And I really like Christmas.
5. I love smiling. Smiling is my favorite.
I have had an abundance of godsend in my life lately despite my little injury. God has recently nudged me on an overseas mission trip. Of all places, He is nudging me to go to India. I’m so excited to see God moving in my life in this way, not to mention a little bit nervous…it’s India…and, it’s my first overseas mission trip. I am ecstatic to begin the process of preparation with my teammates and learning about this new culture. I will be leaving on June 1st and will be gone for 2 weeks. Please keep me in your prayers during this time as I prepare for this newest calling in my life. I guess I'm all about adventure...and I seek to live my life on the edge!
Peace!
:)
