Ok, ok.....

So I'm sitting here in the computer lab at Parkland checking out other blogs, and I realize I still have and hour before I need to be in class. I have therefore decided to make use of this opportunity to post again, since, to my shame, I see it has been over a month.
Well, so far life is good in Illinois, although reading Luke's post on things he misses has put a bit of a damper on my mood right now. I miss Kansas! More specifically (sp?) I miss KSU ACYG. Especially after reading about the Batcave, the late night Wal-Mart runs, and having an hour and a half phone conversation the other night with various members of the aforementioned group. I am currently going through a withdrwal phase because I don't have the kind of deep personal relationship with anyone here that I had with some very special people in KS. I suppose that will eventually change, but in the meantime, it sometimnes makes me sad. Another jolt of reality: As of yesterday, I have officially changed my counseling elder to Ron Messner, in Washington. This kind of caught me off guard, as it wasn't until late last week that I even had a thought that I wouldn't be able to counsel with John now that I am 7 hours away. I did have a much needed phone conversation with him, which was when we decided to switch my elder, but it isn't the same as seeing him face to face. I should quit now before I am swallowed up in despair ;).
On a lighter note, some may notice that my blog is not nor has it ever been on Luke's famous list of blogs. Apparently, I update even less than Vince, a fact that I will not try to argue with anyone. :)

Things will get better....but I"m also saying that from my nice warm spot here in Manhattan. But God will provide and you'll always be in our thoughts and prayers. Sheesh I made that sound like you are about to die or something!

Wow, that was quick - within the hour! What do you do, sit and check blogs constantly? ;)
I'm just jealous because I'm lucky to be able to check my e-mail/blogs a couple of times a week.

Ash, it will get better, Tif's right.
Lest you think otherwise, us here, we still miss you, too. And keep you in our prayers.

Hopefully I'll see you this weekend in Taylor!!! :)

*GASP* A Post from Ashley!!! Call the press! ;)

Ash - Know exactly what you're going through. It's weird bein' "all grown up" and out there on your own. Just remember to keep in touch with your friends at home. Enjoy where you're at, but make an effort to keep in touch with the homies. You'll be good at that, I know you. May God Himself bless your transition and grant you the relationships that you need to be encouraged in Him.
