Pictures from the wedding

I know many of you have been wanting to see pictures from my wedding. My family has a .Mac account where we can all post pictures. So there are literally hundreds there for you to look at. There are three folders. 2 are labeled Chad & Susan's wedding. The other has Cheery Blossoms and my wedding (they were all on the same camera when it was uploaded). Click on the folder and go to the last couple pages. Enjoy!

Busy

Wow, I've been quite delinquent in my blogging. Even Erika has posted more recently than I have. School has occupied quite a bit of time recently. I had an intensive class at the end of August where I did a 3 credit class in a week. There was a book to read and write a paper on before the class began, 5 days of class with about 6 or 7 chapters to read every night, and then a 15 page research paper due 2 days after class ended. It was definitely intense! Oh, and my online class finished up (with it's own 8-10 page paper) in the middle of the intensive. And right before all this happened, my computer finally died (it had been giving me off and on problems for several months) so I had to send it in. If you know how attached I am to my computer you could understand what a panic this can cause. I began the fall semester last week. I'm only doing two classes this semester because I knew three (a full load) would be too much right now. But it is going well now and I am enjoying a more normal pace now.

Wedding plans are also beginning to come along, now that I have finished that craziness with school and have had time to actually do stuff. We've found a place we really like and almost set a date. And while eloping is looking rather appealing we haven't run off yet. But we still might. We'll see. Anyway, I gotta get to bed because I have school in the morning. I'll try not to wait another two months to post again.

Donate blood

Last year I blogged about donating blood, how important I think it is, and why I love the Florida's Blood Centers. Well, I heard today on the radio that they are critically low on blood. If that's not reason enough for you to brave the needle and give a pint, they're also offering a $10 gas card for those who donate before July 20. Plus you earn punches toward Darden gift cards. So any of you living in Central Florida, go give some blood. You'll save lives and get some gas money. I know we are all busy and some of you aren't particularly fond of needles, but how often do you have the opportunity to save lives and get money, and all you need to give is maybe an hour of your day (depending on how busy) and a little bit of pain. Me, I'm going this Friday.

Been awhile

OK, I know it's been a REALLY long time since I blogged. When I do think of something to blog about, I don't have time, and when I do have time I can't think of anything to blog about. The later is the case now, but I thought I should at least post an update. Work at the church has been going well. I've been keeping very busy on several different projects, and in a few weeks will start mowing the lawn. I started a class online with Asbury called Basic Christian Doctrine. It's been going really well and we've had some really good discussion. I have also been really busy and involved with SomethingMORE. It's the young adult Sabbath School group at the Hospital Church. We took a leadership retreat in June that was really great, I've been working on updating our website, and trying to help jump start things. It's been going really well, and I'm really glad I'm involved again. Everything else is going well. I can't think of anything else to say, but I will try to post again at least once this month :) .
