Well needless to say this week has been a long one already (please remind me that I grew tired of having nothing to do in the next couple of weeks) , I am super ready for school to start next Monday. But i finally feel like i am on track to start school with paperwork, all of the administration tasks, and what feels like many different hoops to jump through. Friday we have a little get together and just a session with the new students to answer any last questions and get our offices set up, so once that happens I will be fully ready and every unknown about school will almost be known. So yesterday it felt sooo much like Christmas for me. I got an e-mail from KT and she had a gift for me, i just had to come and pick it up…so here are my gifts:
So here they are, I finally got my new laptop with a lock/case/amazing little wireless mouse. I also got the textbook for my first semester marathon 12 hour class. So I could get used to this grad school life, because I payed $0 for all of it, so i am super excited 
I am still setting up and getting used to the track pad, but I am loving it so far! Some more pictures of the beauty are below (and it really is a beauty):
I am pretty excited I will be coming camping this weekend somewhere in the mountains. I am looking forward to getting away into God’s beautiful creation and getting to know some new people.
I just want to leave y’all with this:
Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
PRAISE THE LORD! ~Psalms 117
i need a new laptop. mine is falling apart. as in, physically coming apart. boo.
