Sweet Summer Time

Hello my lovely Bloggers!!

So, I am thrilled today! Not only is it the start of my summer va-cay, but its blessed with a 90 degree sunny day!:)
Today I received all my grades from this semester, I thank the Lord that he blessed me last week and helped me to do well in every final. I am glad to report that I am done with every accounting class I will ever have to take.

Also this week, I became a sales associate at LOFT ( formerly Ann Taylor LOFT). I am so exited to finally be in retail and its with such a great company.

WOW summer has blessed me in the past 48 hours, I cant even believe it!

After a great mothers day on sunday, and a fun girls night with the beautiful girls from Edinbrook I ended my night with a great start to a new book that my sister Erika and I are going to read together. Its called What happens when woman say yes to God and just in the first few pages the author Lysa had me in tears. I am excited to continue it tonight, and I will fill you all in tomorrow. If you are not reading a book at the moment, pick it up, I would love to chat about the book with you!

Have a great night!

Half way there

Today was the last day of classes for my sophomore year of college. This year has gone by so fast, not that I am not happy to be done with the accounting and economic era of my life, but I will miss all my friends, teammates and roommates they have all been a support system that I never thought I would be blessed with in just a couple years. Last night was our Ski banquet we said goodbye to too many teammates this year, they will all be missed very much!

After this last week of finals I will be heading back to Maple Grove to help teach some kiddos some ski technique and hopefully work at Ann Taylor Loft. ( fingers crossed for my interview)

This Summer should be super fun and full of new exciting things! I hope you are all thinking warm weather and flowers, cause they cant come soon enough!

A"must post": Beautiful Kate:)

Keep your fork!

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.

Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. "There's one more thing," she said excitedly.

"What's that?" came the pastor's reply.

"This is very important," the young woman continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."

The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.

"That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked.

"Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the pastor.

The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from there on out, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement.

'In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!' So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?". Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork ... the best is yet to come." The pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye.

A good cry for the morning:) 

Have a great day!!<3
