market place

So yesterday we went to the Stevens Point farmers market just to look around and see everything. Haha, to my surprise there was a lot of Asians!!! Hehe! They are so cute. :D This man in the first photo makes these beautiful flowers. SO pretty!!!!



PRETTY!



A lot of little shops, but great prices! But I hear there are a lot more farmers on Wednesday. Hehe, I will have to go then. ;)



Hehe, little Asian boys. They are so cute!



Corn!



And this was just building painted like this. It is very well done. A lot of people!



Hehe, we went to Noodles and company after church today and Neal made John try and figure this weird thing with knifes and cups. I tried to help, but mess it up. Hehe. Oh well!

Love!

Home sweet home

Hey all, here is a load down on what our room looks like nice. This is my wonderful roomate Carly's desk. She knows how to do it!



This is my AWESOME bed! Hehe, I love it a lot. And I have the beautiful sun shining through which I LOVE!



This is Carly's bed, very cute, I love how she can put her pillows against the wall!



These are our dressers, mine is on the right, Carly's is on the left. Super nice spots, although we were having a problem getting power cable behide them. But it is all good!



Carly's side



My side.



My nice little desk, Yeah, I need to organize it a little bit better! ;)



And... Conner, Carly's boyfriend was kind enough to give us this great great TV! Where I will be playing my movies and Xbox 360. :D  Also, it is an HD. YAY! He gave it to us because his roomate has a huge one coming! 42'.

I honestly cannot believe I am here right now, I do not think it will hit me till everyone starts coming in tomorrow. I am kind of scared for the rush of students coming in. But I know it will be just fine!

Blessings!

On my way!

hey! so today is the day! the day I go to UW-Stevens Point. YAY!

So yesterday I packed everything up as you can see it was a lot of stuff with me. I am not planning on coming back to much because I lack a car. So my family got me a ton of stuff for the whole year. I am so excited and nervious too! I have no idea what this will be like. All I can do is trust that God got it all under his control.

I am surely going to miss everyone back home. I have made some AMAZING friends and will never forget you all. Thanks for putting up with me all this time. And I hope you will look at this blog whenever you can and see how God will lead me through this new exciting chapter of my life. I want to keep this updated as much as I can.

I am praying and missing you all already.

hey all! yes, I LOVE to run! I run to peoples houses all the time. Anyway, my mission yesterday was to just run 1.9 miles to my dear friend's houses the Wriedts. I ran from flabbergast to their house. I ran on one of the busiest roads I have ever been on before so far. I enjoyed the run!

but it was funny before I started running, my father dropped me off at Subway by flabbergast. Now most people are like; "Awesome! Subway! Food!" But I may have celiac disease(where I cannot eat gluten, which is in bread!), I should find out this week if I have the disease. Anyhow, so I walk in and have nothing I can eat. So I grab a drink and sit down for a bit before I leave for my run. After sitting around for a while I get up and head to the back on the place. The workers were looking at me weird for just getting a drink and sitting with a huge backpack. Haha, I bet they thought I was a little crazy.

fun day and fun run! ;)

Inject me up!

well howdy, so three days ago I got my small intestines checked for Celiac disease. Very interesting day! First we get there almost went to the wrong department, but my father and I found it.
Next we met my nurse, and she was so funny and talked a lot which I loved. she told me: "oh, you will find a guy at college." Haha, yeah I am in no hurry is what I was thinking. nonetheless, she was sweet. After awhile sitting in a bed and waiting for the doctor, before that though they injected me for putting the "sleeping" stuff in.(that is why I have a photo of the shot and IV.
Finally they took me to the room for the tubing. I left like the woman in "the Father of The Bride" where she has to give birth to her child, of course ummm I did not go for the same reason. :)
So this woman talked to me and told me to expect something to go in my mouth before the tube, while she injected me with the bed time stuff(Haha, I do not know the name for it.). It was funny, all I remember is my doctor coming in and saying some stuff, then left my field of vision and I was out!

Later I wake up in my first room again with my dad and the nurse. I was still totally out of it and weak. And my throat hurt pretty bad. Anyways, the nurse got me up and in a wheel chair. Haha, I almost fell down getting up so they held me up. I have never left that weak.
After sitting in the lobby with the nurse and her stories of giving to birth to three of her own kids and then three more for other people my Mom came and picked us up.

I went home and slept!

Inspiration

here is just a photo of my chalk wall in my room. As you can see, I have Matthew 7:13. I drew this after I found out that I may have celiac disease. I was tried, but.. no excuses! My room needed a change.
anyhow, I put Clint eastwood's impression on my wall, in The Good, the bad, and the ugly. Then I put the women from "million dollar baby" to the right. then... I do not know if you tell, but then I have a guy jumping off a building (parkour style) into a chiff. And under him is a person in a Kayak, which I found out recently I LOVE to do!

Beginning a new chapter, with no excuses

Howdy all!
 Welcome to my new blog of No Excuses, where I will be posting things from my daily life. Like photos, videos, and of course some stories.
My hope and prayer for this blog is to encourage and inspire people to do things that are hard. Myself being an artist, I understand how important it is for an artist to be inspired. If we are not inspired, we do not draw, so we need someone to come up with some different ideas to help us to create something beautiful.
Anyways, in other words, I hope through my experiences and stories that you too will do even more amazing things.

Now as to how I came up with "No excuses" is actually from a Nike t-shirt that says; "No excuses, just do it." Before that I was praying and debating what to call this blog, I was going to name it; "Running Star" or "Pointing Star" because I love stars and running. But I feel this truly expresses my outlook on life, and applies to life all around.

Well I will try and keep all my post short... if possible, but you know sometimes you cannot help yourself. ;)
I hope that you will keep updated with me and my life up at Stevens Point. Feel free to leave comments, questions, or whatever you want. I love to hear your stories too! If you have a similar story, or it just reminds you of something... Post it!

Until then, God bless and check up whenever you'd like.
