Things have been so crazy around out life. I think we are making the adjustment to my school life. Ashland has been an amazing place so far. We are gearing up for the new baby "whata" to get here, I think Midwinter was a real success. We have seen answered prayers everyday as John regains strength and overcomes his heart attack. I am looking forward to spring break and a few days of downtime. I can't believe we are already looking for pre-schools for Michael, he is getting so big so fast. Staff meetings will be starting soon, as well as CCYM gearing up for youth annual conference. Anyone have a guess of when the baby will arrive? Doctor set the due date for April 10th. Anyone have a guess boy or girl? hope to hear how everyone is doing. Anyone planning on coming to camp this year?

Hey everyone. Things are goin pretty well here. I have adjusted to college life well I believe. I'm currently in my 3rd week of classes this semester, and so far they aren't to bad. I am in the Choir and we had an amazing break as we went on a tour of local churchs, and we got to sing at Jim Humphrey's church in Doylestown. I made the deans list for my first semester which I'm very proud of, and I will be starting my student observations in 2 weeks. I hope everyone had a great time at Mid-Winter. Mount Union's Choir was singing in Canton that weekend so I couldn't make it unfortunately. I hope everything is going well for everyone else and I can't wait to see you all this summer.

Things are pretty good. Jeff(my bf) and I started going to Navigators at Kent in the Fall and it has really been such a blessing. I've meet so many friend and we've grown so much in Christ. Winter break was hard, not having supports I got used to having, but things are pretty good now. God has just really put some wonderful people in my life since camp, and I am so thankful!!!

I am so glad to hear you two are continuing to do well. You have found a piece that so many miss in a post Institute world. Having a support/social group is of the utmost importance. As we grow older and move into different stages of life that group changes. I am so happy you have been able to find a group for both of you that speaks to you where you are now.

Well as I sit in Old Test the discussion of Casuistic Law (exodus 21:28-32) if you are interested, is sooooo dull i decided to check in and see what everyone is up to. Anyway I have had a great break in my summer schedule. Originally I was going to have to start a 5 day intensive class the day after camp but they have added a history class to spring quarter and now i don't have to take the summer class. this is a huge load off of me. I am looking forward to staff meetings and hanging out with everyone. So how is lent treating everyone?
