My life be like Ooh ahh(:

'ello there!!!(:

Figured it was time to update this blog of mine! so here we go!!!!

So last weekend, my mom an I drove to Silver City, New Mexico to visit my dad and then go on a campus visit to New Mexico State University which is in Las Cruces like 2ish hours from SC. Anywhooo!!! it was sooo much fun! thursday was just a driving day which was sooooooo boring and i resorted to taking pictures on my webcam lol then friday was when we went to NMSU. I was soooo nervous to go. Recently ive been struggling on whether or not NMSU was the school for me or if i was just going there because thats what my parents wanted or that it was convenient. Well, after my visit, i know FOR SURE that NMSU is where i need to be. The campus is fantastic! everyone was so nice and helpful. ALready made a few friends(: then i had a meeting with Dr. Timothy Ross who is like the head of the Agricultural Department at the school and he sat down and pretty much helped plan out my next semester of classes and made sure i was on the right track to getting a BS degree in animal science(: woot woot!! The classes im taking are,
-intro to animal science
-biology
-intro to equine sciences
-animal companionship
-equitation (horse back riding)
-kayaking!!!
Im so freakin excited(: the last two are just for me, my fun classes(: im so excited to actually start taking classes that pertain to my career. so done with all this basic crap! ANimal Cruelty Investigator here i come!!!!(: an i decided i need a longboard to get around campus(: everyone had them and it just looks soooooo fun! so im gonna get one(: lol after the visit drive back to SC and just watched a movie then crashed. we were all super exhausted!!! The next morning was coffee and breakfast at the lil coffee shop, Java The Hut(: dad introduced me to all the crazy and awesome folks of the town lol everyone was so nice there(: later we got to go shoppin in the cute lil stores down town!!! So much fun(: i didnt want to leave to come back here lol and it was hard havin to say goodbye to dad but he'll be home in two weeks!! and hopefully he'll get to stay a lil longer this time(:

now onto some other stuff like i dunno, AFRICA!!!(:
The team leaves for Africa june 2!!! Its coming up sooooo fast!!! Im super excited(: Theres more infor regarding the specifics of our trip in my two previous posts(: as i said before, im super excited for the trip but funding is being a pain in the butt!! We gotta have all our money in by April 28th sooooo If you feel led to support me financially, you can mail a check to my home address. (Email me at daddzgirl9262@aol.com and let me know if you want to do that) Make all checks payable to Sun Valley Community CHurch with my first and last name on the memo line, or you can visit www.sunvalleycc.com/onlinegiving and make an online donation using debit card, credit card or echeck. After creating an account and logging in, please select "South Africa 2011" from the "Fund" drop down menu and then my name from the "Sub Fund" menu and i will be notified of your gift. Know that all donations are tax deductible and documentation will be provided by the church at the end of this tax year.

Moreover, I ask that you pray for my team and i as we prepare to embark on this journey. We need prayer support while we are traveling, working and sharing the gospel. This community is in desperate need spiritually and it will take lots of prayer to soften some of their hearts to the message of Jesus. Pray that God prepares my heart as well as the hearts of my team members, for this mission and that we always have faith in His great power and mercy!
Thanks guys!!!(:
