Age to Age:
I've jumped right back into Age to Age this semester. For those of you who don't know, it's a mentoring program for impoverished kids in the Russellville area, through The Wesley Foundation. It was a big part of why I chose ATU and mentoring has been one of the best experiences of my life! This is my precious Rayden! I started out with her last year in her first year of "Older Age to Age" (5th-7th grade). She's 6th grade now and goodness has she grown since last semester! She came to Skate Night with make-up on and her hair straightened, looking older than ever!! We have grown so much closer already just in these past few weeks. She's like a little sister to me. Monday after Age to Age I took her to eat with me at the caf along with Taylor and Renee and their girls Tamara and Ashley and I felt like a proud big sister walking in there with her! I loved everything about having her there with me! We are two peas in a pod. Anyone you ask who knows both of us will tell you that you couldn't have picked a better kid or mentor for either of us! This Sunday she is going to go to church with me and I couldn't be more excited!!! Pray that God opens up opportunities!

The Lake:
Lake Dardanelle State Park has become a regular part of my week! This time of year I want to be outside as much as possible!! We have had gorgeous weather these past few weeks and I am loving every bit of it! The park isn't very far from school so I go there by myself for devotionals or studying or with friends for picnics and hanging out. Ususally something eventful happens! lol. We always have a good time though! It's the perfect hang out spot and I'm so glad it's close by!
Brown Town:
Ohhhhh Brown Town! lol. What is "Brown Town" you may ask? It is a lovely boys dorm that smells...interesting to say the least...and is the residing place of quite a few of my best friends here at school! :) Many afternoons, evenings, and weekends have been spent there studying, watching movies, playing Call of Duty (or watching the guys play), Skyping, taking funny pictures, and COLORING!! :) haha. I'm convinced that our walls will be completely covered by the end of the year from all the pictures we've drawn! haha.

I have lots more I could share and I would love to on another day!! But this post is getting kinda long and I've got to go do some Spanish homework (story of my life! lol.) So for now, I will end with a quote from one of my favorite movies--"Up":
"Adventure is out there!!!" :)
