Her name is Morine and she lives in Uganda. She is the little girl that I now sponsor from Compassion International. I have always seen the ads to sponsor a child and have felt God leading me to do it, but it seemed like such a big thing to do. I never felt that I was financially stable enough to actual take the leap and be a sponsor. A few weeks ago, I got an email from Compassion International and decided that I could make the monthly criteria and did it. I am so glad that I did. I have not recieved anything from her yet, but I have been praying for her. I have decided that I am even going to use this as a lesson in letter writing for my kiddos at school. We are going to write a letter to Morine as a class and make sure it is in the correct personal letter structure. I am so excited to start corresponding with this beautiful almost 6 year old. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her and what I will learn from this.

In other news...life has been crazy. Between school and trying to find an apartment, my life has been occupied. I have so many things on my plate that I have had to take a few "time outs", which basically means I left school at 3:40 instead of 6:30 :) I have managed to have a little fun in the past few months since school started.

The amazingly cute, but married, bass player!!

Last month, I went to a concert at The House Of Blues. It was so much fun! We went to see Hot Chelle Rae and The Script. It was a great concert and we got to meet the bands! My friend Katie and I felt like we were 18 again, but we stoood around at the back entrance to the House of Blues for a while to meet The Script.   I have never done anything like that before.  Definitely something I will do again, though!!

So much fun!!!
