Here is a video I did for one of my classes...it was my favorite assignment!

Life

I know it has been a long time since I have posted a blog. Life has been a little crazy this summer and it looks like it isn't going to get any better! On a good note I am over half way done with my master's program....YAY! I have now finished 6 out of 11 classes. My next class is up in the air because they changed the weekend dates to it last minute and I can't go to the Saturday classes. I called CMU to see what my options were and I may be able to do an independent study for it or I can take it through the main campus, up in Mt. Pleasant...which is a lot farther than Saginaw. Also, the main campus class is 4 weekends instead of 3 so it is a lot more driving (and with gas prices...OUCH!), not to mention I would have to take 4 Saturday off work and stay in a hotel room. Another downside of that option is it starts in September but doesn't finish until December. Meanwhile my second fall class starts in October and ends in November. One class at a time is rough but there is no way I could do 2 and these overlap! I pray I will be able to do the independent study. I can make it to the Friday classes but 2 1/2 of the Saturdays I would have to miss....which is a lot of class time. GRRR! I thought I was supposed to rest and relax during my month off of school...no such luck.

In other news, the brunch that I help put on every summer turned out great this year and I am once again amazed at my God above! I could see him working all around me. Our goal this year was 340 people and we had 354. We were running out of seats! Our speaker arrived safely and she was phenomenal! What an amazing testimony she has!

Things with Adopt a Pet are going great and I have been trying to volunteer as much as I can this summer since I can't during the school year. I just helped out at the last event for the summer last weekend. Currently I am fostering 2 6 weeks old puppies that are adorable!

OK, I'm headed to actually read a book for pleasure...thanks for reading!
