Checking to see what's new with Xanga...

i know it's been forever, and i sincerely apologize.  i figured i'd take a minute and update in case anyone is still reading this.  hopefully, when i move back to pa in a few weeks and actually have internet access that i can access easily, i'll do better.  i may even make the jump to myspace...but we'll see about that.
anyway...life is crazy.  i'm not doing much...just babysitting a ton, spending time with my sis and adorable nephew, hanging out with my wonderful boyfriend, attempting to find a "real" job for the fall, and trying to get some sleep on the side.  as mentioned above, i am moving home at the end of august/beginning of september, and i'm looking forward to being close to my truly amazing friends that i have missed terribly while in souf cakalaki!  being 700 miles away from adam, bekah (and stephen), and baby david, however, is going to be difficult.  and leaving my adorable townhome and wonderful roommate will not be all that easy either.  but i'm trusting that God will provide, as He has so faithfully in the past.
so...that's it.  i'm alive and happy.  feel free to check back in a few weeks for some revisions and updates!  maybe even some pics!!

i don't have a ton of time, but i figured i'd update while i have a computer in front of me...adam is still working on mine, but praise the Lord, he was able to get all my files off of it before it completely crashed!  i'm using my bro-in-law's laptop at the moment to finish a project that desperately needs to be turned in, so before i waste any more time, my update!

first, i must apologize for my lack of pictures.  they are coming...i promise!  they are all on my camera, and i'm waiting patiently for adam to finish fixing my computer.  so be patient...they're coming!!

i have LOTS of pictures... pictures of my new nephew, pictures of my new boyfriend, and pictures of my new house!  so much has happened in the last week, it's hard to capture it all with words...but until the pictures get posted, i shall do my best to fill you in!

david joseph was born on sunday, march 26, at 6:30am.  he weighed in at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.  he and bekah are doing wonderfully, and stephen is a very proud and happy father.  i spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday, and i got a little emotional holding the little guy as i thought back over all that bekah and i have been through.  we've been together since i was born. we've been through good times and hard times. and now she's a mom...she is starting a family of her own...and i still feel like a little child.  when did i go from being 13 to 23 and get old enough to be an aunt??!!  growing up still scares me...but adam reminded me that it has it's perks too!!

speaking of adam, did i mention that it's been almost 1 month since we started dating!  i do have a picture that i finally approve of...we have a good one from when we went to the opera and another one from last night... and i've decided that he's the photogenic one!  he continues to amaze me...and every day i find myself liking him more.  i don't think i could have made it through last week without him, and i am constantly reminded of God goodness to me when i look at him.  oh the stories i could write, but alas, i don't have time...maybe sometime soon!

and finally, i have a new place.  last week, i moved into a town house with one of stephen's friends from high school. it's still slowly hitting me that i'm on my own...but it's fun and exciting, and emily is wonderful. 

i'm looking forward to my last 6 weeks of school...only 39 days left!  i'm still not sure what God has planned for me after graduation, but i know He will continue to be good no matter what the future holds.  He is such a faithful God...

let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for i have put my trust in you. show me the way i should go, for to you i lift up my soul. ps. 143:8
