Earthquake!?!

Howdy everyone from Dallas!

I don't know if it made national news or not, but apparently there was an earthquake here in Dallas Thursday night. Actually, two of them which were a three on the Richter Scale. So scary!!! We felt nothing, so no worries.

And I thought the tornadoes last semester were bad. But we're all still here and no one is hurt, so on to the more boring stuff.

I felt so bad about my last post being so short. I was really feeling sick, but wanted to try & post something. So, I apologize for being so brief. But I promise to give you more detail this time. And for those of you who were wondering, I am feeling much better now. I did have a sinus infection, but it was not nearly as severe as usual. After a few days of rest I was back to my normal self.

Last Sunday night we had game night at my friend's house! It was so much fun. I made my mom's amazing peanut butter brownies and Julie & I taught them nertz!!! haha. They are hooked. And they taught us speed, which is pretty fun too. (Though nothing like the intensity of nertz) Oh, and we played taboo too! It was a blast!!! It really cheered me up since I was kinda bummed about missing the game night at home. :-(

For lecture this week, our guest speaker was Sy Rogers. He was an incredible speaker. What an amazing man of God! If you get a chance to google him and read his story please do. Such an awesome testimony. The lecture hour flew by this week. And he even did an extra two hour question and answer session. He was such a blessing to the entire student body.

My worship team was also up this week. Yay Yellow!!! And even though we only were scheduled to sing for chapel on Thursday and Friday, we ended up having all day prayer on Friday for the upcoming election. So, the normal 35 minute chapel became a three hour worship & prayer session, which we were on stage for the whole time. It was exhausting & my feet we so tired after. Haha. But it was an awesome time in God's presence!

And then last night, they had all night prayer on the campus. Julie was asked to play drums for the first two hour set, so of course my roommates & I went along from 10-12. Then we came home and played nertz til about two in the morning. :-) It was a blast, but I was definitely exhausted this morning. Always worth it, especially for nertz!

Oh, and one more exciting piece of information I forgot to share. I found out a few weeks ago that I am eligible to receive a music minor. I will have to do a special three piece voice recital with two classical pieces, which will be at the end of the semester (probably in the middle of finals - lucky me!) But I have met all of the other requirements, so once I do that I will be awarded the minor.

Only 55 days til Christmas! Ahh! We have a countdown on our door! :-) L0ve & miss you all!
