Oh Yeah I'm a CLIFF Jumper! are you?



There are 3 things I know to be true in this world…

1. Tell me I can not and I will

2. Tell me No and most times I will work until it is a Yes

3. Tell me you wish I would but you know I will not…and I will

Notice a trend here…I WILL…

So here’s the deal. My friends (Jacob, Jordan and Drew) all said I could not, all said I would not and all said they wished I would but that I would not. Little did they know that was all it took to get me to do…



Yeah that’s right I jumped off a 30 foot cliff into water! TWICE! I know, I know, scary, I could have gotten hurt and not to mention that at times I am very accident prone and this had accident written all over it. But do not worry I did not hurt myself unless you consider this…

(So i forgot to upload the pick...just trust me it is BAD)

Hurt…but it is ok, the burse on my butt and thigh is about 10x worse, I mean I can only sit for about 25 min and then times up and need to stand. To be honest I brought a pillow to staff meeting and sat on it. Four hours was to long on those hard chairs!



So incase you were wondering the burse came from the second time I jumped. The first was no big, I enjoyed the jump. I did it really fast, I shook my arms, watched my friends jump and then went for it. Step, step and jump! Into the air I flew and then kept flying and kept flying…Until I thought man I’m falling, and then BANG into the water I went! I enjoyed it greatly. I mean the thrill was cool but the look on my friends faces was worth it all!! Jacob’s face was GREAT!



Time number two came..This is the time I jumped for myself! The first jump was not a choice it was a have to, the first jump had no preconceived ideas about it….FREE FALLING was all I knew was about to happen. Jump two on the other hand was for myself, to prove to me that I could jump whenever I wanted. Time number two had ideas that went with it, jump number two had thoughts running through my head of the thrill of falling and scariness of jumping off a rock.

So I went for the jump, climbed to the top of the rock and stood there for about 20 min. I allowed others to go and waited in line numerous times trying to psych myself up for jumped number TWO! AHHH is all I have to say…Jump 2 hurt!!! For those watching it hurt and more importantly for me it hurt!

So here I am I now unable to sit for prolong periods of time but more importantly I am a cliff jumper…if anyone asks! I WILL, I CAN, and I DID!!!

Failure at blogging lately

AHH! I fail at blogging during year two so here are the highlights and some fun stories from along the way!

So I went from a life of...



To a life of...



HAHA, working in the rain the last week was a great way to kick off the "hard" life i am living now. Drinking coffee ALOT and being on campus as much as possible!
(The pick is of me, my roommate, and Jacob (the new intern)!

Life has been crazy, since returning I am back to the daily life of hanging out with people and living life in the mists of doing alot of work!

I love it!

Lets get you caught up.


I went to New Mexico, to get caught up with all the staff and to just spend a week with the Lord at Collage week!!



I moved into my AWESOME apartment, it only took me about two weeks and to be honest, i just got the rest of my stuff out of my old house, so right now there is a trunk full of stuff in my car! but here is my room. This pic is old but you get the gist of it. Now there is no boxes, and it is more clean and orderly.... I know hard to believe but i do keep my room clean otherwise i get really stressed and seeing how i am stressed enough i dont need my room to stress me out!


So I had a birthday!! Love that day!
My friends through me a party, my good friend ab-e came and chalked our whole front sidewalk...It is still there in front of my door!!



Freshmen village has started!! We have a solid group. We are going cliff jumping tomorrow. Jacob does not think i will jump, so we made a bet..2 bagels from the bagel shop! I have this in the bag...he does not even know it! This picture is from a scavenger hunt we went on.



I went to the WSU Standford football game. It was huge, WSU lost but the experience was great. I mean sfa had football but this was a different level. They do the gator hand motion, which is weird because well they are not gators, and on every first down the say "Cougar FIRST DOWN" and point the arm in the direction they are moving!



We also had to say good bye to a good friend of mine and my friends, VITA! she went to my roommates international village and loved hanging out with us! she was a good friend! hope she is having fun back home!!!!




SO, last year I worked with a guy named Drew and now i work with a guy name Jacob. This is him..Please don't judge him, i promise he is cool and really fun to work with! The girl is Jane, another new intern...from TEXAS!



Otherwise, now i am writing a proposal for a girls night, for all the sorority girls! I should know in about 2 weeks if we got the clearance to go through with it!pray it all works out, this could be a great thing on these two campus.

Moscow service doubled in size from last year, in these first two weeks. Please pray for more leaders to step up and lead. WE need more village leaders, right now me and jacob are leading two villages and it is very taxing on us both. So pray for strength to get through the weeks and words to say!

WE are only having one service on Sunday. I am really excited about the new sermon series we are starting and i think it will be good for the whole church!

I miss you all..unless you are reading this and live in Washington then i'll see ya soon!
