Hard Work Pays Off

Grades for Spring 2010 are in...Julie has broken a record for her school career...3.9775 GPA for the Spring semester. I cannot remember ever having such a close to 4.0 GPA during my letter graded school years. It's amazing to me what hard work, greater faith in God's plan, focus on school and not dating, having less friends but better ones and being more active in my self employed jobs can create. I had a very busy semester doing school and the many other things I do but yet got the highest GPA of my school life. AMAZING! I am pretty excited. Maybe in the next three semesters of my undergraduate degree I will get at 4.0. That would be exciting.

Well enough about school...grades are posted and now I can stop thinking about school until the last week of August. I am very excited to see what the summer holds. El Salvador is in July, from the fifteenth to twenty-seventh, two days of travel and the rest will be spent working with the people of El Salvador. I cannot wait to see how the team will share the love of Christ while in El Salvador. After the meeting on Thursday, there is still much to be planned but I am even more excited because now I know that the team is really a team. Harold, Kevin, Bud, Maria, Monna and I will be doing great things for Christ during our time in El Salvador.

This week will be full of fun with friends...the following week I was supposed to start back at Target but as of today I am not on the schedule...so that probably means I have two weeks to be relax with friends and work on my bedroom which is good. I have spent about ten hours in the last three days cleaning in my room and bathroom. Mom and I hope to paint my bedroom, which we have been talking about for over a year during Memorial Day weekend....in order to paint I must weed out and clean like a crazy person. It's fun in a way because I am getting rid of tons of stuff I don't need which will help make reorganizing my room easier when we get to painting. Tomorrow also starts my summer exercise and eating right. In the stress of the end of the semester I have gained a few pounds which will not do. I have a plan and hopefully I will stick to it. :) Having healthy lunch at Suzzanne's tomorrow will be a good way to start.

Not much else new happening at the moment. I am grateful school is out but not really wanting to do much yet because I have so much I need to do at home...amazing how a semester of not being home much can destroy a bedroom...so much junk. Oh well...I will finish eventually. I hope to do more tomorrow. I also spent some time on my scrap book today and would like to get that finished up and updated so all of the supplies can be put away until I get El Salvador pictures but that won't be until August. I have maybe three or four pages left of my Indiana trip from January, won't take but maybe an hour...hope to get that done tomorrow so that can be put away.

Dad is on his way home from Uganda. It seems like he has been gone for a very long time. I look forward to hearing stories about the trip and the fun of the team. Should be rather exciting and this time they get home much earlier so we can have some stories before heading to bed tomorrow night. That will be nice.

Well good night. Sleep well world.
