Update

Wow it's been awhile. Actually, it's only been 2 weeks but it has been a FULL two weeks. So much has happened and I feel like I've grown sooo much since I've been back at school. I don't even know where to start....I guess from the beginning: 

I got to APU on the 18th and basically just had 4 very packed days of training for Alpha. It was super fun though getting to know my group and seeing people again after the whole summer of being away. Also, that Friday, Tyler drove down to Azusa and surprised me!! :) :) :) So we got to hang out and I got to show him the city a little bit. It was wonderful. Then, Saturday I moved into my apartment with Katie Hahn...it was a sweaty experience, to say the least. ;) But I LOVE my apartment! It's so fun having my own place for the first time, decorating it and setting it up how I want. It's just an absolute blast. The only bummer: we forgot to turn on our electricity and it won't be on until Wednesday. So ever since we moved in, we've spent our days sweating without air conditioning or fans, and our nights sweating and living in the dark. Perfect. But at this point, we just have to laugh. I mean, it'll be funny in a few years, right? :) 

And then this past week, the 23rd through the 29th, I went to San Francisco with Alpha for a trip called Bridges. It was truly life-changing. I went into it pretty hesitantly but overall, God completely shaped my heart. I have to go to another training meeting really soon, so details on Bridges will have to come in another blog. It was incredible though. 

And now, I'm back at APU for even more training...insane. The freshman all come on Friday (ahhh!) and I'm really excited/nervous to meet my group! It's what I've been waiting for since April so it should be really good. And as fun as these past couple weeks have been, I'm pretty excited to have a set schedule. If you know me at all, I'm a major planner and it's been driving me nuts having someone else plan my schedule every day. So, simply because of that, I'm excited for classes to start and life as a student to really begin. I think it's going to be a really great semester and I feel beyond ready for it to start. Praise the Lord. 

Like I said, I will definitely post another blog (maybe even tonight!) about Bridges and all the work God has been doing in my heart lately...He is so good. Love you all! And sorry if I haven't been able to call you or catch up on the phone. Like I said, no electricity :)
