End of July:
-find out my brother & sister-in-law are having a baby!!! Luke Mitchell will join us on February 1st 2010- I found out through a text,yep that's right a text message & this is what it said: FYI Kelly is pregnant then another one came weeks later saying: we are having a boy. Haha not really the way I dreamed about finding out about my first niece or nephew but that's my brother :)
August:
-I became Acting on AIDS president of the undergrad chapter at my school
-Before school started I went on the Student Leadership Trip & it was truly life changing!! God is awesome! & it was such a wonderful experience to be with other student leaders who have passions similar to my own
-Met a cute boy on the retreat ;)
-Back to school!
September:
-Start dating Mr. Alex James Turner! a charming redhead who quickly became one of my best friends :) He is from Austin, Minnesota and is a youth ministry major with a minor in counseling and biblical studies. He has a heart and passion for the homeless, kids/youth, missions, & photography which are very similar to my own passions. We always have so much fun together and enjoy playing cards, pool, and any other game we can come up with! (I always win, of course :) )
-I was asked to be a part of the Ugandan Well Force Team for my school where it was our goal to raise $12,000 in one month to service 12,000 people for 10 years!!
-Met the first Lady of Uganda!!
October:
-Through a series of many events such as mini golf in the library!!, bigger or better, community barbeque, t-shirt selling, and a lemonade/hot chocolate stand at football games we raised $17,000!!!! Praise the Lord!
-Visit my best friend Jess and cousin Nick in Colorado over my Fall Break
-Find out I am no longer able to do my student teaching overseas :( I turned my application in the morning after it was due and therefore because it was late I was no longer allowed to apply... probably one of the hardest things I have had to go through in awhile but God brought me through and I am continually learning to trust Him in every circumstance.
November:
-My Great Uncle Bob (Grandpa's brother/our second grandpa) becomes sick and hospitalized. He was unconscious and was said to most likely not make it very long. However, I spent one night in the hospital and prayed over him for an hour and my family and friends were praying for him as well & his health began to improve slowly everyday. He was transferred to a nursing home and was able to communicate clearly and even make jokes when we came to visit him! But after one good week his body began to slowly shut down and he passed away on Thanksgiving Day around 3:00.
-I went to MN to visit Alex and meet his family. I had a wonderful time and absolutely LOVED his family!!
December:
-My roommate Savanna & I move out of our current dorm and into another one- its called Madsen and its more of like an apartment style dorm so we have a common living room area, a kitchen, and a balcony!
-Savanna gets engaged!!
-My oldest sister Chrissy moves home for good!!! She moved 8hrs away to Springfield, MO around 11 years ago and has now finally decided to move back home!!! :) it is so great to have her back!!
-tomorrow we celebrate Jesus' birthday! oh how I LOVE Christmas!
hmm.. I think that's abt it for now! :) Hope you have a Merry Christmas Eve!!
