Sleep is GOOD!!

Last week was an extremely exciting but also draining week...we had VBS at our Church where many kids came to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. Praise God for that!! I was at the Church(or working) long hours last week, so this past week I got to take off Monday and Tuesday.

I have not slept later than about 8 (maybe 8:30 at times unless of course I was up really late the night before which is not very likely if you know me) since high school, but I slept till 10:30 on Monday and 10:00 on Tuesday. WOW do I feel refreshed!

I hit the gym early this morning (waking up at 4:45) and feel wonderful...so I say all of this to tell you that if you cant get up early or are constantly feeling tired, take a couple of days off and sleep in. It really helps (or at least it helped me)

something new...

Today I did something I haven't ever done before...I went and got a mystic tan. It was quiet the experience (ask me if you are planning on doing this so i can prepare you before you go). Daniel and I are having our mission's picture made tomorrow, and since I am in the office all week and my skin never see's the sun...i had to get a tan!! There was not enough time to go to the tanning bed or ever lay out at the pool so the next best option was to get a spray tan. My dad will be so proud of me (he hates any form of sun tanning because he does not want me to get skin cancer which is understadable, but I really dont think he realizes how much a mystic tan costs.)

On a different subject I wanted to update you on our mission status...as the previous post says, we did get accepted!!! We are going to chicago at the end of august to be appointed (which is going to be quiet the experience in its because daniel has never flown on an airplane, and although i flew all the time growing up my love for flying has greatly decreased to no love at all) Anyways, we have started our contact database and have begun putting together our material as we raise support. We will be going to France for 2 weeks in November and cant wait!!

We got....

ACCEPTED!! yeah...we are so excited that we got accepted to TEAM to be missionaries in France!!! We could not be any happier, but know that raising our support is not going to be easy.

On a different note...we had a fun filled weekend (well i guess this depends on who you ask. I had a blast but daneil...not so much) Our good friends Clint and Theresa said "I DO" on Saturday. We were privileged enough to witness their unforgetable ceremony. Here are pictures from the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.
oh...here is my new hair cut too!!!

PRAYER!!!!

ONE WEEK TILL WE FIND OUT!!!!
PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!

DONE

Daniel and I have some exciting news..........we have finished our application to TEAM so now we will be patiently waiting to hear back from them while praying for God's will. We are extremely excited that we have completed this part of the process, but we do know that this was probably the easiest part. We have alot ahead of us! PRAISE GOD FOR HE IS GOOD!!!!!

Also, this is random but i finally cut off 11 1/2 inches of my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. I will post pictures soon.

I'M BACK...with so much to tell!!

I know it has been forever since my last post, but between finishing school, graduation, and starting my new job I could not find the time to write. Anyways I am back and want to fill you in on everything that has taken place.

First off Daniel and I have both had birthday's since I last wrote so happy birthday to us both!
