I feel like writing, but I'm not sure exactly what. Not much has been going on. I did get my second round of shots Friday for Haiti. Technically you're suppose to have 3 rounds of Hep A/B to finish the whole dose, however between shots 2 and 3 you have to wait 5 months. Sooo, I don't have the total I probably should but the lady at the health dept. said I would be fine. However I did say health dept and not doctor so I'm not even sure she knows exactly :) Oh well! Now I need my anti-malaria pills, from which I hear make you slightly crazy.  From some internet articles I have read some of the different types of brands have some pretty terrible side effects, however I was reading something on the internet and let's face it we just can't trust everything we read. But some of the side effects I have read are dizziness, hallucinations, diarrhea, intense nightmares, itching, rashes, blurry visions, dark urine etc. Haha I'm EXCITED! So once I start taking those pills and if you seem me and I'm acting slightly strange just know that I'm suffering for Christ {insert smile}  I need to go to the doctor THIS WEEK and get the Rx, however I'm slightly out of money. My entire trip (airfare included) is completely paid for but I've probably spent out of pocket about $300 on shots and buying skirts. I know God will provide, He did this past week with allowing me to work more than I thought I had which allowed me to get the rest of my shots. Maybe with my birthday being this week I will get some money which will allow me to pay for a trip to the doctor. 

Oh yeah did I mention how I am DREADING turning 25?? Haha some of you are probably like TWENTY-FIVE, I would LOVE to be 25 again :D However, it's been particularly harder than I thought. Especially at church. The church I am attending now isn't the "best" one I would chose. The music is weird and it's just not where I would have chosen to pick. However I've been going because I knew people and I did join not long ago. I'm not sure why God has me there right now but it's not comfortable and I think that's the point. I'm trying to get involved and meet people. I just recently volunteered to be a director for VBS, haha. What am I thinking?? After I found out I was going to be a director I learned that they don't do normal VBS but it's a sports camp.. Yikes! I found out that the title includes making sure my kids are getting to the right places that the bible study leader is doing their job and the couple of youth and someone else.. Hmm, I suppose I'll learn as I go.. Or I'll just wing it. As long as the kids learn about Christ and have a good time, that's all I'm worried about! :D Anyway back to the turning 25. I have recently been feeling real out of place. First of all, I'M NOT IN COLLEGE. Everyone there thinks I am and for some reason it really bothers me. I guess they assume I'm in college because I am friends with the College and Young Professionals minister and his wife. I don't consider them my minister but a friend and since I am seen with them I am a college student. It just kinda erks me. I hate the question "where did you graduate?" or "where do you go to school" I guess I'm just ready to move on- and I'm trying however it's a little hard. Then there is me being single. Which most days isn't a problem. But at church you're either in college or already married by the time you're 22 years old. I am NEITHER. It kinda seems like people don't view  you as complete if you're not married, as if you're not whole without someone else. Or maybe I just don't stand out enough maybe I should go on stage one day and announce that I'm not in college nor am I married but I am made complete in Christ and that is all anyone should be concerned about. Ok ok I'll stop. I haven't stood on my soapbox in a while and I think that about a week too late. No worries though, I'm trying to stay upbeat about it. 

I suppose that is all now. I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thank a military person for their service. I am grateful for my late grandfather, Harold Nash for fighting for our freedom in Vietnam (I'm probably completely wrong with which war but I think that's right) for my great-grandfather Raymond Brown who fought in Guantamo Bay in WWII and for my 2nd cousin Ashley who is on his 3rd deployment right now in Afghanistan. Thanks for all who have done and are doing amazing things. 

May the grace and peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
