mondayyyyyy

snoop bloggy blogg - that was what ashten was just saying and it was funny and yet so very appropriate.



this past weekend anna has been here to visit us. friends, what a wonderful thing to cherish. we have been married a little more than two months and one of the things that i have been lucky to see in these two months has been the incredible friendships that ashten has with her closest friends. they care, they understand, they give knowledge and advice, and they care for her. how wonderfully amazing is that. i would like to think that i can offer that friendship to my closest and most dear friends.

we climbed up this mountain called hump back rocks on sunday. it is a neat hike that has a trail and then fizzles off to being a few rock scrambles and some loose dirt. it is a challenge and the hike is so dense that you feel like at the top it will just be full of trees and there is no point to continue on. but then, you get to the very top and you look out for miles and miles at the beautiful creation that God has given and it makes you think about how wonderfully we are made. how incredible it is that if God has so wonderfully made the mountains, trees, clouds, and animals - how amazing it is that he made each and everyone of us beautiful and in the image of God. after catching my breath from the hike, i had to catch my breath again from the view. here is a picture.

ashten and i have been in school now for two whole weeks. long enough to know that i am going to enjoy it and be excited to learn. today i found out that our financial aide instructor filed me wrong and told me that i was accepted for a pell grant after. saving some money sure helped me feel good. continued support is needed in the next few months. i have never felt so 'stuck' in one place as i feel now working full time and going to school part time. it is an ok feeling, i just need to know how to handle it.

for anyone who may read this...i love you
