Tobin and Erin

Don’t you wish sometimes that you would be all grown up and have it over and done with? I learn new things that God is trying to drill into my head every day, and yet it seems like I don’t make much progress. It’s kinda like treading water. I can just keep myself afloat but I’m not going anywhere fast. Aarg!

It’s a good thing, though. I really am learning something useful that will help me be able to serve the Lord better someday. I really am. That’s what I have to keep telling myself when I feel like I am right back where I started from.

I am kinda busy recently. With volleyball starting up (a lot more than I was expecting for a spring season) and choir and the AIAA project and all of my classes and spring break coming up that I am planning for, things are rather crazy. I like to be busy (I mean, who wants to be bored??), but I have to make sure I am not stressing all the time. Seriously, I am such a worry wort, and it doesn’t make life fun.

I have been discussing a lot in Non-Fiction, and it is hard. Hard to portray my faith correctly without sounding like a right-wing radical…hard to articulate my beliefs without bringing the Bible, God, or Jesus into it…hard to be the only one defending my position! That is a new one for me. But there ARE other people of faith in the class, I have discovered that. I think I am just still too conservative in my views for them. It’s also hard when I’m not sure about something, and that is the point they want to attack. I don’t even know myself yet! I feel so inadequate in a religious debate. I don’t feel like I know nearly enough!

Well, I need to do some homework. Bed by midnight! (rain or shine

I’m back after a great weekend at home. I decided that I get a lot more work done at home then I do at college for SURE. Sheesh, I was so productive that I got everything done on Saturday and had the rest of the weekend to enjoy!

Speaking of enjoying….I got to celebrate Jaymi’s 20th birthday with her!! It was a lot of fun and I ate an obscene amount of food. Mmm. We went out to eat at Olive Garden (which also provided my Sunday night meal…yay for leftovers!) and then went back to Jaymi’s house for cake and ice cream. I saw Jenni(y?)’s baby too! Wow, we don’t grow ‘em that small in the Rumley family. She was sooo tiny! Very cute.

The one disappontment of the weekend was that my baby was not born. Sad. That means I probably won’t see him or her until spring break.

SPEAKING OF WHICH…Betsey and I are making plans for heading up to Toronto and Niagara Falls the weekend of April 7th, 8th, and 9th. That is the beginning of my spring break, and we will be camping, seeing the Falls, the CN Tower, shopping, and heading back to Lansing on Sunday to spend a few hours with my other amazing sister, Emily. Yeah, we are awesome!!

Well I gotta run, but I will update more later.
