A lot of Heart, all for Him

Yes I know...

...I am indeed procrastinating. No I have not turned into super woman, at least not yet! :-P

I am on a 3 hour break, already have done some work and can't seem to focus so I thought rather than sitting and having information not sinking into my brain, I can be just as non-productive with what I have to do and actually have something to show for it.

So what have I been up to? Well I had a great weekend! :-D Tons of fun, food, dancing, surprises, finger prying, more food, steaming, laughing, exploring and lots of other cool stuff.

I can now say that I have been on the bridge to nowhere! I even have the pictures to prove it, I should have typed this when at home so I could actually attached a couple. Maybe I'll do that later. Now everytime I enter 410 I laugh at what I can still see and will remember for quite a while!

After today I have 2 more days of class before exams begin and before commencing again in May. So I'll enjoy the small break that I do get. Very much looking forward to the summer!

Yesterday it was 28 degrees on my deck! So for those that know me, I did the very predictable thing: suntanning!! I spent about 2 hours baking outside and actually got a little red but it's faded nicely already into a lovely tan. I was actually not procrastinating by tanning though, I spent the whole time that I was out there studying. Multi-tasking can be very helpful.

Tip of the week: If you think someone is following you, do not stop, wait for them to pass and then proceed to follow them. That is a very unintelligent thing to do!

This weekend brings the second of the 4 competitions that my girls are competing in. That means Friday, Saturday and Sunday I will be in a gym - thankfully not all day on those days but a minimum of 7 hours each day. It could have been worse though!

I have a test to write today. It's the last test for the course. It's only worth 5% and I have already done some studying. I just really don't feel like doing more studying. Ooooo only 1.75 hours left of my break!

Yes I realize this is a very random blog about all sorts of stuff. I am a random person and my brain is also very random so whatever comes to my head is what I have been typing.

Easter is coming soon! I wanted to go see KRT's Easter production on Sunday but I have to work :-(

I have decided that the month of April really isn't going to be much of a vacation before starting again in May. I have multiple tasks that must be accomplished on top of studying for my finals which are only occuring in the last 1/3 of the month. One thing that I really have to get on is booking my flight to the DR.

Well I think that I have accomplished a fair amount of procrastination! Let's see how many times I procrastinate on here before my exams are done. Until next time I dilly-dally and decide to practice my cunctation and dilatoriness skills...

Happy Spring for yesterday!

Well, 2 weeks left of class and I will be one semester closer to being out of this place. It really isn't a bad place tho I don't think. It passes the time nicely while I try to figure out what to do with my life. And I can really use all the time I can get!

I really should not be writing this because for the next month and 4 days, I will be incredibly busy reviewing, studying, preparing, writing, choreographing for the last few assignments and finals. So if I am posting on here before April 25, then I am not using my time too wisely...or I have developed super human powers and have done everything I need to study for that day and I know all the previous material perfectly.

Spring commenced yesterday at 8:07pm! I like spring. Spring means that summer and warm weather are coming. I like summer too. Summer means warm weather and tanning. I'm not a big fan of fall and winter because fall means that coldness is coming and winter means coldness is here. I think I need to move to a warmer climate.

It was a good service Monday night at church. I just was reminded how incredibly blessed I am to have God choose me to give me His mercy and grace to which I sooooo incredibly do not deserve. I should not be where I am today. I should be far from where I am today. But I am not and that is only by the supreme and awesome nature of God, my Father, the creator of the universe who loves me, who has called me His own child. Wow! It just boggles my mind.

Dios es bueno!

I'm so amazed with how You love me

Well, I survived our first competition of the season! Haha, I was never worried about me surviving, but some of those parents -wooo! Let's just say we have a very interesting group of parents!

It was a very interesting weekend indeed! My girls did well. We took 19 girls to the competition, 18 of them got at least 1 medal and the girl who didn't she got quite a few fourth places which is a huge improvement for her from last year! Turns out in that category, they combined a bunch of age groups so if they hadn't, then she would have gotten a medal if not a few of them easily. A few of the girls got 5 medals - that is the maximum you can get - one for each of the events vault, bars, beam, floor and one overall medal.

I must admit though, although we came back with a fair number of medals, some of the girls didn't do as well as they should have and the competition wasn't too stiff. Our next competition is a tough one tho in Orangeville. And that is in 3 weeks!! But out of all the competitions I have gone to, this one is the most well run and organized one. It actually stays on time!!! That is a very rare thing for gymnastics competitions I have found. People aren't very good at time management and estimating for how long these things will take. And gymnastics competitions have been going on for how long?!

So after our meet at Twisters in Orangeville, we will hopefully have two more after that: one in Bramalea on the May long weekend (how stinky of a time is that!!) and then one at the beginning of June at our club. We also have another meet at the end of June at our club where I might get to dance in it but we won't go there yet. I might have to make up a dance for coaches to do but I'm hoping that I'll actually get some good dancing coaches for it. It is a very challenging thing to choreograph a dance for people who can't dance! Ah well. I should start on that soon. The toughest thing is finding music. If anyone has music suggestions, please let me know!! Last year I choreographed the dance to the song I Believe. It is by Yolanda Adams and is heard in the movie Honey during the last dance/showcase thing.

Total change of subject. I have this song stuck in my head. And it is very difficult to sing and type at the same time I have just discovered! Yes I am sitting at school singing out loud but I am in a room with only me and 50 computers so its all good! The song is called Amazed. I am going to type the words and attempt to sing them as I type, this should be very interesting!

---------

You dance over me while I am unaware
You sing all around but I never hear the sound

Lord I'm amazed by You [x3]
How You love me

You paint the morning sky with miracles in mind
My hope will always stand for You hold me in Your hand

How deep how wide how great is Your love for me

God really is truly amazing!
