The weather is wonderful today. Mondays are great cuz we don't have ballet class or rehersals, so I have the whole day to do whatever I want! Well not for long cuz I got a job now, but I don't start till Saterday. So I decided to spend one of my last free and sunny Mondays at a a park in down town Puyallup. It was a perfect day to read a book for a few hours and then take a nap in the wonderful sunshine which won't be here for much longer. I am reading a book called "To Live as Christ" by Beth More and then I also just started reading "The Shack" which I have heard many different oppinions, so I thought I it was time I read it. It was so nice and relaxing. I wish every monday could be spent reading and napping in the sun!
Yesterday Holly and went to Seattle to visit Mars Hill Church. I absolutely loved it and wish that there was a campus in Puyallup. There isn't, but we really like Bethany Baptist. So after church, we went to this cupcake place called Trophy Cupcakes, and I think that they were the best cupcakes I've ever had in my life!!!! The one I had was chai, and it was delicious! Not too sweet, and not too rich. It was amazing! After we got cupcakes we walked around for a bit and Holly got some cute earrings and I got a birthday present for Caleb. I can't believe he is going to be 10 soon! He is getting so big! I'll have to wrestle him now while I can still beat him, cuz it won't be long till he'll be the one winning!
Then on the way home we got stuck in traffic, but fortunatly we got to talk to Belle which was so nice! I miss her so much! I can't wait till christmas when we are all together again, it seems like we've all been apart for months and months, but it has only been a month and a half. I think it just seems like it's been forever cuz I haven't had a job, so I don't have enything to do in the afternoons except be on the computor, watch tv, eat, or talk to my room mates, if they're home. I have a job though now at Bath and Body Works and start Saturday, which I think I already said, but that's ok. I think it will be a good place to start at, and I am definitly going to be liking the discount!
Later in the evening Cara, Holly, and I went out to Olive Garden. We had such a fun time just talking, and I don't think we ended up leaving till 9:30ish. Then we came home and watched some I Love Lucy episodes. The whole day was so fun! I wish we could do that every sunday!

The past few days
So I am still don't have a job, but Holly and I went and picked up a couple of new applications today, as well as developing pictures which we put in some picture frames on our walls. They are pictures of us when we went to Seattle a couple of weekends ago when Toddie came to visit, and this past weekend when Holly and I came home. It was sucha fun weekend.
My cousin Havalah came over Friday night and we all played my favorite game of all, Take Two, ate cookies that I made, ate some popcorn, and watched a movie called "Miss Potter" which was ok. It was about the auther or the Peter Rabbit childrens books, and it was very sad.
Then on Saturday we(Tasha, Holly and I) met with Rachel and Chris Hanna and their cousin Troy for Lunch at "Jam on Hawthorn." It has great food, I highly recommend it. Afterwords we went to a nearby Vintage store where Holly and I found three records to add to the six that our other room mates already have hanging on the wall in our living room. The records are My Fair Lady, South Pacific, and Caracel. They look very cute hanging on the wall with tthe rest of the records.so after lunch and finding the records we went to Hooney's wedding. It was so good to see so many familisr faces. I don't think I realized how much I missed the Hinson family until I moved up here.
After the wedding Tasha, Holly, Haley A. and I went out to dinner at this really yummy place, but I can't remember the name of it. We sat and talked for a while then went to Via Dilecia for some coffee and gelato. It was so good to catch up with Haley. I miss her terribly! I know I don't live far away, but sometimes I wish family and friends were just a bit closer then they are.
We dropped off Haley and then went home and watched a movie called P.S. I love you, which I do not recommend.
On Sunday after church we had my Grandparents over for Lunch and then went and picked pears and tomatos from our neighbors. The pears aren't quite ripe, but the tomatos are and they are delicious.
Monday, our sad last day, we went over to my gramma and grampa's house for breakfast and then picked apples. After, we went to the store to get some things we needed, went home and packed all of our stuff up and left. On our way we did stop at my old ballet studio to say hi and bye to some friends which was very nice, and then we made our long two hour journey back to the wonderful town of Puyallup, and thus ended our weekend....oh so sad.
However, ballet on Tuesday was very productive. It may have not seemed like it at the time, but we finished two songs that we are performing next Friday night, that really needed to be done! Now I just have to remember them. We didn't go to ballet today, instead we got coffee, then went to our director's grandpa's farm and picked corn and other veggies, then went to a park and walked on the path that went around the lake, and then went out to lunch. It was a very fun day, and I'm glad we decided to to do this instead of ballet.
So now, you have been fully updated on what has been happening lately.

What's been happening lately
Well, things here in Puyallup have been going really well. The "Worship Project" and "A Walk with Paul", the two ballets we are working on, are coming along, slowly but surely. I Love seeing the progress we make every week, not only in the ballets, but also in my relationship with my Father. He has been reminding me that I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength and that I need to surrender myself to him daily, and oh what joy comes from that! Praise the Lord that we have hope in Him! I am loving my room mates more and more as the weeks go by. They are already becoming such good friends and I am so thankful that the Lord blessed me with such amazing girls to live and dance with. So my room mate Holly and I have been looking for churches, and I did not realize how hard it can be. we went to two different churches last week and then two again this week. The church we like the best so far is called Bethany Baptist. It is like Hinson in many ways, which is probably why I like it so much. We have a few other churches we would like to visit, but will probably continue going to this church at the same time. Please pray that the Lord directs me to the church he wants me at. I know he will. The Lord is in control, and he knows what church us best for me. Well job hunting has been very unsuccessful so far. I have applied at many different coffee places, which is where I would like to work at, but so far only one call back. I went in for the interview, and it sounded like I was gonna get the job, but they really wanted someone with more flexible hours. I have very specific hours due to ballet classes and rehersals and touring days, so also please be praying that the Lord provides a part time job that will be able to work around my hours. I have complete confidence that He will provide a job, it's just waiting on His timing. I am missing all of my family and friends back at home and can't wait till the next time I can visit! Please keep me in your prayers! I miss you all!
