Sorry for the lack of posts! I tried to do a couple of video blogs, but couldn't get them uploaded. I tried doing it directly to YouTube but my Mac was having issues. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get it to work and can start putting videos of myself up instead of writing.
Anyway, a couple of things that have been happening are one, I'm trying to start a FriendSpeak ministry at Hillside. When I went to Brazil and Panama for Let's Start Talking, it was the FriendSpeak material that we used. FriendSpeak is the local version of Let's Start Talking. We would advertise lessons in town, and have people from our church read with whoever came. I am having a meeting on Sunday to see who's interested and hopefully it will be a success!
Also, I took my 7-12 Math Praxis test last Saturday. I was really nervous going into it because I didn't feel as prepared as I should have been, and the official practice test from the company was really hard. But my test was actually easy! I couldn't believe it! Most of the questions were pretty straight forward and I knew what to do. I only had to blindly guess on one problem, and there were probably about 5 or so that I had to make an educated guess on. But I'm pretty confident I got at least half of them right, which is what I needed to pass. My score will be up on their website four weeks from the test date. Once I pass that test, I can apply for teacher certification. In the mean time, I will be requesting transcripts, and info from LCU and get all my paperwork in order so it's ready to go when I get my score.
My mom also came to town last Saturday (in the afternoon after my test) and stayed until Wednesday afternoon. She flew into Philadelphia and had always wanted to see the city, so we saw all the historical sites there, including Independence Hall, Ben Franklin's burial site, Betsy Ross's house, and we saw the Liberty Bell from the outside because the line was too long to go inside and see it up close. Since I am still in my probationary period for my job, I couldn't get off work, so she hung out with Tim during the day, and he took her on a tour of an Amish farm, which is something else she really wanted to see, and she got several jars of jams and syrup, and a couple of Amish cookbooks. It was really good to see her, and I'm excited to see G-ma, G-pa, and Mitzi this summer!
Well, that's all the news I have right now, so until next time (whenever that is! ;-p)....TTFN!

Thank you for taking the time to post. I hope your meeting on Sunday was well attended. We can't wait to see you either. When I get finished with all my treatments and doctor appointments, we will sit down and look at the calendar and maybe we can set a date for our trip.
Give Tim, Toby and Max a hug for us.
Yeah!!! An update!! I had quit looking every day at your blog, but something made me decide to take a look today and there it was- an update!! :P I'm just teasing you- so good to hear from you!! I think video updates would be great! I pray that all goes well the ventures you have going on there- school, Friendspeak, etc. Sounds like you're settling right in and doing all the things you love! Can't wait for summer!! Love you!
Just to let you know, if I work Summer School, it starts June 27th and will be from 8:15-12:45 Mon-Thurs. So if y'all can come before then, that would be best! (My last day of school is June 10th).
