We ARE back.




Hello blog followers.

Much has happened since we tuned in last time. The semester has begun and we are all adjusting to this new half year. I'll provide you with a brief intro.

First. We have started the semester off in layers of sweatpants, socks, slippers, coats, and gloves. Why? Our heater has failed us. It is about 50 degrees in our house at all times. I wake up thinking that I just finished a night outside. But I shouldn't complain. There are people who really do wake up outside. But it is cold. And we are trying to get our landlady to fix it. And to fix our water. It's lukewarm. And to fix Rachel and Joanna's light in their room. It blows a fuse every time we turn it on. Man. Talk about the fact that all these things don't make buying a house look exciting.

Second. Our schedules are very different this year. We are all up early every morning since we are have morning classes. Ellen (she is the Third point) and I have to get up at insane hours for work and placements. Coffee will be one of my best friends this semester. In spite of these earlier schedules, everyone in the house (except me, the grandma) goes to bed at wee hours of the morning.

Third. Ellen M. (cannot mention last names for safety reasons). She is gorgeous. And she is our new roomie. Stacey has left us to get married (YAY) and Ellen has brought in a bed to replace Stace's. We will be posting some fun facts about Ellen later. But here are the basics. She is gorgeous. She is godly. She gets along with everyone. She is able to run very many miles. And she has more of a social life than anyone in this house. More to come on this wonder woman.

Fourth. 3 of us in this house are 21.

Fifth. No mouse sightings as of yet.

Sixth. BRYCE H (no last name) came over last night and secretly shoveled and salted our stairs outside. Seriously. THANK YOU BRYCE.

Seventh. This house is going to be so much fun. I love every girl in here. Who knows what this semester will bring. God has much in store. We are all making our plans, but God has the last say.

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
Proverbs 16:3

We are committing this semester to him. Thanks readers!
