Well, after two years of planning this trip to CMI (Children's Ministry Institute), I am finally here and in week 3! I'm so excited to finally be here and learning more about CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship) and how I can reach the children back home in my area! This week we are going through and have to write a paper on the Theology of Child Conversion, showing how the Bible tells us children can be save. There are people and churches that don't believe children are able to be saved, they think you have to be older and an adult. But Jesus shows the importance of children, and the Bible shows that children can be saved! And if we are sending children to school to learn at early ages, they grasp concepts, well why can't they grasp the concept of Salvation? THEY CAN! :) The Bible is clear about this.
Everyone wonders about Ken & I, how we are doing apart. Well, here is the answer. I'm doing fine, Ken is good as well. If you remember back to my freshman year of college I was away from him the whole year. And even though he was an hour away, once I started my weekend job there were times I didn't see him for 5 weeks! We will make it through 12 weeks with no problem. :) Social media is great! Texting, Facebook, and Skype are our friends :)
This weekend most of the students went to the St.Louis Zoo! This was a lot of fun! Growing up in northwest Iowa, I'm partial to the #1 zoo in the U.S. and that is Omaha! BUT St.Louis is VERY nice and free! Hard to beat that!

Long awaited update
I once again got busy and forgot about blogging. However, I wanted to post about what has been going on in my life. I recently got married (July 7th). Married life is going very well! Sometimes I feel bad for my husband cause I realize he is in a house with all girls (me, our dog, and gerbil!) haha. But things are well, I don't have any complaints :)
My puppy Khloe is doing well. She hasn't gotten much bigger and is full-grown by now. She's the perfect lap dog. :) Everyday is interesting with her. She recently found out she can jump up on the wood chest my grandfather made for me and pushes things off. She also likes to bark when my husband is trying to go to sleep which can be irritating. But overall she is a good puppy! She is attached to me! If I'm not home and my hubby is she will sit in the hallway looking at the door waiting for me. So sweet :) She goes to my husband to play and to me when she wants to cuddle. She is smart though! She now knows how to sit, and lay down, knows what off means, and is getting better at walking on a leash. 8 years of dog obedience paid off (in 4-H).
I leave in a week to go down to Missouri for 12 weeks. I will be attending Children's Ministry Institute to train for my job. Yes it'll be hard to leave my husband for 12 weeks, but doing God's work which is eternal has it's rewards and my husband understands this.
That's all I can tell for now, I'll try to keep in touch while at CMI :)

Why Does Time Fly By So Fast?
I'm SO sorry I haven't written in such a long time. I was really excited to do this, and then Christmas came along and then my final semester at Morningside started, and it was a lot busier than I even imagined. For those of you that know me well, I haven't even done any wedding planning this semester, crazy I know!
I just wanted to catch all of you up on what's going on. I just moved to Cherokee, and will graduate from college May 12th. I'm working for CEF and will be teaching clubs throughout the summer. In August I will go down to Warrenton, MO for 12 weeks for training for my job. When I come home in November I will continue my education online though Calvary Bible College in Kansas City for 3 more semesters so I can get another degree in Children's Ministry.
Kenneth just started a job at Fitzpatrick's Auto Sales in Storm Lake and is selling cars. SO, if you are looking for a car, let him know and he'll find one for you. ;)
I hope that as my summer goes on I am able to keep up to date with this blog to let everyone know what is happening.
I also just got a puppy 3 weeks ago, I love her so much already, and she LOVES me. She yips when I leave her to go to school in the morning, and jumps around when I get home at night. She is a teddy bear (mix between shih tzu and bichon frise). She is my little cuddle bug, and even though Kenneth won't admit it, he loves her.
