Busy, busy

I realize I have not posted in a very long time. My apologies. It might just be my goal to get this blog back up and "running".

I have obviously been at Cornerstone for a semester and have started my second semester. My first semester went really well. It was a challenge and very busy. I took 17 credits and played soccer.

I ended up really well in my classes and soccer went alright. I love the girls on the team and they have become such good friends to me. On and off the field. We did not make play offs this year which was slightly disappointing, but it gives us that much more to look forward to for next year.

God has been working my life in various ways in the past year. It has been such a roller costar ride. Full of ups and downs. But through it all God is good and has gotten me through. I continue to rely on Him in all I do and go to Him daily. I would be so lost without Him.

Hello all!

It has been a long time since I've posted. That means life is crazy busy!

Here is what has been happening since I last posted:

We went up to my grandparents cottage for the Fourth of July. It was a great weekend filled with lots of fun and laughs. I water skied, which I have not done in a VERY long time. I also tubed with Tim and swam and all that good stuff :)

After that, my brother Ben got married in Florida on July 11. My parents, grandparents (both sides) and Tim and I drove down to FL. Daryl, Sara, and Samuel flew. The wedding was beautiful and everything went perfect. Congratulations to Ben and Anna Stegink! (I am the ORIGINAL Anna Stegink)

We then went to spend a week at Young State Park with my dad's side of the family. The weather didn't cooperate, but despite that we had a wonderful time with family.

Other than all that I have been busy babysitting the Solomons, spending time with friends, and going over to the Bierengas to play Uno.

I move to CU on the 13th and it is coming up fast. I am very excited to move on in life, but also scared. I will miss my family and friends SO much.

I hope you are all having an amazing summer!

Summer is here!

Summer is here and I am crazy busy!

Father's day weekend I was on a youth retreat with Pathway Community Church from Fort Wayne, IN. The retreat was in Marion, IN. It was a TON of fun. There was about 650 middle schoolers there, 65ish from Pathway. Laura and I went together and were youth leaders. It was a GREAT time with kids and all the other amazing leaders from Pathway.

We are getting ready to go up to the cottage for the weekend. It will be amazing. I can't wait for relaxation and family!

Ben is getting married in 10 days! It seems crazy that it is almost here. We leave for Florida a week from today. Sara, Daryl, Tim, and I are all in the wedding.

Shortly after we get back from Florida we are going camping for a week at Young State Park.

I leave for CU in aprrox. 6 weeks! I have been working out at least 4 days a week and it is definitely wearing me out! It will all be worth it in the fall though :)

I am at Solomons right now and Lindsey is forcing me to post this! :)

Other than all that I have been getting in as much time as I can with friends and family.

Soccer season is here.....

Spring is in the air! Soccer has officially started. Our first home game is Tuesday, the 14th. I can't wait!!!! We are going to have an awesome season. We just got invited to a Loy Norrix invite, with Sturgis and Allegan. We play Sturgis our first game! It will be a challenge, but I can't wait!

On another note, I only have 3 1/2 more weeks of KVCC left. I graduate on June 5, and my open house is on June 7.

On another note, I am at the Solomon's right now! We are having a wonderful time. The three youngest are all sleeping, Kristin, Lindsey, and I are doing this crazy blog thing, and Jenna is busy doing school. Bummer for her.

My cousin Tiffany is in town until later this afternoon. She came on Sunday night and we have been doing all kinds of fun things. Yesterday we made Easter cookies, she went to see a movie with my mom, and we watched American Idol. She has also been to the Museum, to Sara and Daryl's house, and all kinds of other fun things, that I never got to do when I was a kid!
Anyway, I should get going now, but enjoy your beautiful day!

Maybe I should get this blog up and running? Maybe not, I don't know. My day today was amazing though. I realized how much I love my friends and how much they mean to me. I would be SO lost without them. :)
