It's a New Semester

School started back up again and I am getting back into the swing of things. School so far is great. I am so happy to be back in class. The classes I have this semester are as follows:
Baptist History 1
General Science
Proverbs 2
English 102
Old Testament Survey 2
Biblical Separation
Philosophy of Music

I pretty much like all of my classes except Biblical Separation, General Science and English.

Since starting school, I have started at a new job. I now work at Ryan's. I keep up the salad bar basically. That consists of many trips back and fourth refilling things, cutting vegetables and making different kinds of salads, some that are really strange I might add. I love it. I really do.
I work at Ryan's now because I got laid off at ACS. I was going to have to get a different job anyways because of transportation problems and lack of hours. Well, I asked for more hours and got them for two weeks. Then they started cancelling second shift. That happened for a week, so I knew something was up. Finally, they just called and told me to pick up my stuff because they were terminating second shift. It's a really long story, but that's the basic parts. Anyways, God provided a job for me. I got like 42 hours this week. So it's nice.

Rewind. So let's rewind to Christmas break. I got to go home for a week. I rode with my good friend Stephanie back to her house on Friday the 21st. Miss Naomi met us at Stephanie's on Saturday morning. Stephanie, Naomi and I spent the weekend there in Ottawa and there round about. I got to meet Stephanie's family and her church family. We did some shopping and watched cheesy hallmark movies. It was great!

Miss Naomi and I headed down to Pekin on Monday. It was nice to be home. I got to spend christmas eve with my mom and my sister. That was so nice. I missed them so much, more than they will ever know. I especially enjoyed spending time with my sister. We sat and talked and she showed me her baby clothes. I mostly just missed being able to see and talk to her face to face. I also got to go to April and Joe's house and spend a day. I saw Chris, Melissa and the kids. I took lots of pictures on my phone. I can't believe how big Destiny is. Plus I got the privelege of spending time with Preacher, Mrs. Rowell and Miss Naomi.

Going home was just what I needed to help me make it until spring break. It was a relaxing and enjoyable time. Oh I forgot to mention, seeing everyone at church was a big blessing too. I miss my church family. Ya know being away at a different, LARGE church makes you appreciate your own church much more.

The following Saturday Miss Naomi took me to Dwight to meet up with the Harty's. Bro. Mike has family there so we met them there and I rode back to the college with them. The Harty's are a couple I met a camp. They are full time at the camp. They also work at the college and the church. Bro. Mike is the cook at the college and the camp. He works on a bus at the church and does various things at the church. Mrs. Harty is the secretary at the camp and at the college. She also teaches a class at the college. Anyways, so I've known the Harty's now for two years. They are and amazing couple. They are always a huge blessing to me. I am really close to Mrs. Harty. She is awesome. So spending time with them on the way back was so much fun.

That pretty much sums it all up. Not much besides going on except going to class, work and sleeping.
