hey, everyone! hope all is well. i'm staying crazy as usual. i'm working my two jobs, subbing in my 'free time' lol, whatever that is... and just to add to the insanity, i had my grandfather's funeral last week.

laura, can't wait to see ya on saturday! it'll be fun for us all to kick back and hang out for a few hours and not have to worry about the craziness of life. plus, just the fact that you will be there will make it awesome :) you so totally rock!

yea!!! so i subbed for J.B. Stephens elementary school today and taught art. i had about a dozen ten year olds ask me out and have a million pictures for my fridge. but... more over, there was a honking wwf smackdown! yeah, some kid descided to write me a love letter, and when the other boys found out, they all wanted to see it, so there was a wrestling match in my class room. auh! oh, well... boys will be boys i guess.

that's about all. i'm tired.... i think i'll eat a taco.... then church, then the night shift. woohoo!

toodles! love and hugs to all

ah, the insanity of life never ends, does it? but that's okay....

just doing the usual thing, working none stop, but i've gotten use to it. i really want to find one full time job that i can put my full energy into, rather than killing myself trying to do two jobs with a total of about 60 hours a week. it's crazy!

the danforth's and i are going up to goshen saturday night and hanging out there through sunday evening. lee's neice, miah, is being dedicated there. it'll be a nice get-away for me, even if it is just a day.

that's about all that's going on here... ttyl... love and hugs to all

hello, friends!

well, now that people are back on campus and constantly at the computers, i feel like people are actually reading this... so i continue.

things are well, i'm keeping busy. sunday, lee asked my pastor permission to marry me and my pastor said yes in a heartbeat. hmm.... maybe brother brown just wants to get rid of me.. lol... just kidding. i love my pastor.

so, i know alot of you think this is all insane, and know where you are coming from, but i'll try to explain... i have such an extreme sense of peace about this whole thing. although, the whole exicution of grasping the understanding that in a little over a year i'm going to be married is still a little illusive. i'll work on that one.

i've been talking to my parents about it and they support it, which is insane! his parents support it fully as well... and above all, i expected my pastor to tell us to hold up a bit, but he fully supports it.

the Lord has confirmed that this relationship is to lead to marraige over and over. even to Lee's mother... lol... we were all at a gospel festival that i was singing at, and when i was singing alabaster box, i sister danforth told me later that God told her during that song that i was the girl Lee was to marry. scary! but, anywhoz... when it all boils down, i'm still a little tripped up by the whole deal, but i'm so excited, because for once i know i'm on the right track and that God is leading it!

to those of you that have tried to convince me otherwise, i appreciate you concern, i really do, but please stop trying. if you still feel this isn't right, then pray.

Laura, i'm so excited! i love you so much, girl! we've stared alot, and have alot more to share ahead of us. i can't wait to see what our God has instore for our friendship :) Lee is so totally stoked about meeting you, but who can blame him, right? lol...

ah, good times :) love and hugs to all

greetings to all... to those that can remember... back in january, a good friend of mine and her kids that i use to babysit got into a terrible car accident with a semi. libbie (the mom) and tayler (her 11 year old daughter) were almost killed.

well.... glory to God, taylor is !!!!!finally!!!!! out of the hospital and starting sixth grade. she looks great, but has lost alot of weight and is so tiny. she has to carry around a bag with a tube connected to her stomach, but i'm just so glad she doing well. libbie is still on crutches after seven surgeries to correct her shattered leg, but she's well.

taylor got to show her cat at the state fair this past week and got no award, but it was a miricle that she was there. there was a big hoop-to-do about her with the news, so she thought she was pretty cool. lol.... thank God! i just can't stop thanking God for what he has done. i nearly burst into tears just watching her in choir class today! lol... i love that kid!

k- thats all, i just wanted to share that with you. :)

love and hugs to all

toodles,

LeslieJean
