Time Flies...

It's been about 2 weeks since my last blog and a lot has gone on! On September 26th Lindsey went back home to Indiana and that was so sad! I miss her a lot, but I know she is so happy to be home. For her last Sunday we went out to eat at Logan's with the Mansfield's and that was yummy.

As far as school goes I have been unbelievably busy! This last week we had midterms, projects, and lesson plans due! It's all really started running together! I know the Educations majors have a ton of work because we were sitting at a table with some senior year business majors and they could not believe all the work we are doing! They were saying they haven't ever had that much going on at one time! I don't know if it made me feel better that we were working so much harder or if I was sad about it lol I had my last midterm today and I am not sure what I got on it yet, but on my other 4 midterms I got all A's so that is great! This semester it is impossible to slack at all so I think I am going to get straight A's...at least I am hoping!

This past weekend my In-laws came into town! We had a great time with them...We went to Jackson on Friday and went to Maskelley's Furniture to look around then we went to the mall and I went Anthropologie and wanted literally 90% of everything in the whole store...that place is unreal and I love it so! I did get the best candle ever from there and I have burned it every single day since I got it! We also went to Maggie Moos and I had a large cup of chocolate better batter and ate the whole thing! Fat, I know but I'm not worrying about it haha!

We are starting a series in Destined tomorrow night called "Twilight" it's not really about the movie it's about light vs. darkness. I am really excited about it and I hope a lot of visitors come! We have an all new stage set up and their will be lots of cool things going on every week! I'll post some pics once we get it going!

THe Destiny Center

So I haven't written in a long time and last time I wrote I had great intentions to keep it up but that hasn't worked out so well! Sorry, I really will try to do better! Lots to catch up on but the main thing is that we are rennovating our old family life center into a new youth center!! It's a 9,000sqft building so we will have lots of room to do whatever we need to! The Destiny Center will be opening may the 15th with a sponsor preview night then the ribbon cuting will be May 16th! We are so excited!! It has been lots of hard work and many almost all nighters but we are getting there! All the painting and electrical should be done this week, then The flooring will be all we have to finish! I cannot believe we just announced this project to the church 2 months ago! All of our youth kids are so excited and have been up here working almost every night after school and on weekends...they want to be in it so badly! There will be a high school/JR High sanctuary that seats 80-100, an internet cafe with iMacs and wireless internet for laptops, a video game area with Wii, X-Box 360, and Playstation 3, a college sactuary that seats 35-45 and a cafe area where we will serve snacks, candy and drinks. We are going to have a youth service every wednesday with a full band and everything, it will also be open some days throughout the week during the school year for tutoring, and every other friday night for kids to just hang out! It is going to be a lot of work but soooo worth it! I feel like I'll be up there hanging out for fun LOL
Other than that school is consuming my life! This is my last week of school work then finals next week, and a full term of summer school! YAY! (NOT) lol the sad news is becuase of summer school, camps, vacation bible school, and Impact conference we won't be coming to Indiana until the beginning of august for Jordan Parnell and Dacia Elkins wedding! I hate that I am not going to be able to see everyone until August, but that news is made better by the fact that my wonderful In-laws will be here May 14th and then we are doing a little VACA with my family may 20th in Gulf Shores!
I'll add pictures of the Destiny Center as soon as I can! Back to school work for now! Love you all!
