i'm going to keep this short. i have class in an hour, and i'm not quite ready yet. ohhh well.

last night was great. andrea and i went up to horsetooth and took a short hiking trail to the cliffs overlooking the reservoir. we brought our bibles and journals, and she helped me go over the chapters i'd memorized in the past which i TOTALLY did not remember very well!! i really need to be disciplined in memorizing those chapters, and not letting them slip away from me after all that hard work. so that's what i'm going to have zach keep me accountable in when we talk on the phone. going over those verses. the spot we sat at last night was amazing. i took some pictures but they're not uploaded. God gives such good gifts, His creation is amazing.

today i have a presentation. i'm not too worried about it. i have to leave class early so i can babysit lincoln and ellie. so there's that. :) then i babysit them again tonight. it's also my night to clean the kitchen floors and the bathrooms. i would do laundry but the load isn't big enough so i'm not going to. :) i really love living with the Schmidt family. they are amazing, and so fun.

last night i got the privilege of helping lyndsey paint her kitchen because her husband was out of town. so andrea, jenn and i all were painting the kitchen there. it was nice because i got to ask them all these quetions i have about why they homeschool or things that i just wonder about because i'm so stubborn and don't want to do what every other Christian is doing! haha. zach always tells me there's wisdom in certain decisions which is why it seems like "the thing to do" but it was cool to hear the reason these women decided to homeschool their kids. i think andrea and i learned a lot from them. not to mention we laughed a LOT. plus they gave me great wedding ideas. which is still a way in the future, but i should totally start taking notes or something. :)

well i know today is going to be a good day. i can tell by the sunshine peering in my window. i love the sun. i love God.
