I have never posted twice in one day. But today is special! I finally set up a YOUTUBE account. That's right friends I just now got one. I have never really watched anything on there. So I surfed and found some cool vid's and then using my webcam attempted my own. They aren't awful, just slightly awkward since they are my first. But they will get better. And there will be more! I am excited, I will officially be a blogger and vlogger how ultra techy am I...or is that just ultra nerdy maybe they are the same who knows. But if you ever want to see some of my personal favorite vid's or actually hear my voice and see me giving you an update you can check that out over at:

'Cause it's a winding road...I still have hope...We're gonna find our way home
I was told I haven't blogged lately, which is pretty true but I have been crazy busy but I guess I should still keep some updates posted on my life. So I guess I'll try to keep up a little better than once a month, eek.
Updates, hmm where to begin:
It is official that my parents will be getting a divorce. My dad moved out about a week ago and is living in his own apartment and my mom is finally back in the house after a little over two months. I am okay with that but I know it will be hard on both of them and it will be a struggle to support me through the next 3 or 4 years of college.
It's also official that I am the worse advisee, ever! I scheduled almost a month ago and since then have changed my schedule close to 5 times, she must hate me. But my tuition money is paying for her, so at least it isn't for nothing.
My dad is recovered pretty well from his heart attack. He was walking and talking through the whole thing about two weeks ago but he had to stay in the hospital for 3 days and get a stint but he is doing much better. He knows he has to make some lifestyle changes, I hope he does them instead of wasting the knowledge.
My dad doesn't have the greatest health genes in the world, actually close to the worst which is why I have promised myself to be healthy. I have shed 45 lbs since october 2008. I was in 16's and bulging about to be in 18's when I knew that I couldn't stand being that weight any more, nor was it good for my health with my health history playing against me. So I am now in 12's and 10's, to be at a healthy BMI which is my goal I have 21 more lbs to go. I would love to lose a little more than that so that I'm not constantly one or two lbs away from being overweight but right now I just want to make that 21 lb mark hopefully by august. I am trying to reduce my cholesterol as well, it wasn't awful but it could definitely be better so I have been working on that. I just hope that in the long run it gives me some sort of advantage in not having half his health issues.
I had an amazing trip to WKU the past 2 and half days. I arrived midday monday and stayed midday wednesday. I saw almost everyone I was hoping to see, which makes me really happy. It was so great to see everyone after being apart for so long. I also met a couple new friends which is always exciting, one of my favorite things so I also enjoyed that. I loved staying with my best friend Taryn and then with my long time friend Bethany. I loved having so much time to have quiet time with Jesus to be one on one and talk to him and get in the Word. This week I have been learning and trying to understand and comprehend and accept God's grace. I heard a lot of opinions on what exactly God's grace is and I also was introduced to some awesome scripture that really captured my heart. I love The Message's translation of 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 and John 9:1-3. I have gained some wisdom and opened my heart to learning more and allowing God to show me grace in His own way. I know I don't deserve grace but I know I desperately need it.
I am leaving for UK in the morning to go hang out and get a feel for my future school. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I hope it's great :)!
I think that's about all the updates I have for now. I will try to do better I promise.
