A Month In Review

In keeping with my resolution, here's the first four weeks of the year. :)
Week 1: January Beginnings
Tea party lunch with Mom's sweet librarians.
 Happy birthday, Brother! 
We celebrated by going to Ghengis Grill, and I made him a drum set cake.
A day on the town! Mom and I met Angela and her mom and sister for shopping at Firewheel Mall.

Week 2: The joys of winter break!
 Dinner with Mom's college friends in Coppell.

Brandon's 17th birthday party. Broomball at the mall. 

Snow day! [This picture was actually taken a few days 
ago, but I took one almost like it three weeks ago.] :)
Brandon, Brady and I went sledding and Molly got to learn
how to sled as well...although they did run 
right into a tree the first time. :)

Week 4: D-Now
I returned back to school for a few days, only to turn right back around and come home for FBC Frisco's DNow. It was amazing!! I'm so completely blessed to have been part of what God did that weekend.

Week 5: Basketball Game and Roommate Photoshoot
I filled in for a friend Saturday by playing at the basketball game. We had Dr. Hesse, our director's father, join us for the half-times. Dr. Hesse is a professional jazz saxophonist. Only at Ouachita do we have jazz soloists join us for pep-band! He was phenomenal. (the picture is a bit blurry, but it's from my phone.)

My roommate and I went to some prime spots around Arkadelphia and had a little fun with her new camera. ...ok, so it was a lot of fun! Here are some of my favorites :) 


We couldn't leave Chef Leon at home!

 Week 6: A painting and some snow!
 Emma and I spent Monday afternoon painting. Emma loves art, and I thought that it would be a good idea for us to hang out while painting. We couldn't decide what to make, so this is the result. It's a mezcla of designs. You have the royal, richey-rich section, the "homey-home-home" section, the monsters, the Mexican section, and the flowery-floral section. (all named by Emma, of course) :)
It was a great way to spend the afternoon working on a project, spend time together, and chat it up!
 Friday morning, I woke up to find the most beautiful snow falling out my window! Ouachita was so beautiful in the snow! 
Although, the above picture was taken in jest. The road there is the one out my window and is semi-steep. They had closed it off for a while, but then I noticed that there was a bulldozer clearing the road as if it were a snow-plow. Really Ouachita?? One can only laugh!
 It fell pretty hard all day long, so naturally we had to go play in it! Angela, Vikki, Becca and I went to play after classes (since OBU doesn't cancel class for anything!). We found the best sledding hills, made some pitiful snow angels, had a small snowball fight, and made this snowman. He is the goalie, and was pretty lopsided. More pictures to come when I get them from Angela. :)

I found this guy last night walking to the caf, right in front of our beautiful Ouachita sign. I love the way the snow fell on the Bible/Ouachita's emblem in the background.

It's been a wonderful week, full of ups and downs, but through it all God is the everlasting Lord of provision and sees all we need before hand. What a beautiful promise. :)
