~Briana Lynne Ordel~

My niece Briana Lynne Ordel was born Oct 5, 2009 7lb. 2oz. and 21 inches long.
Proud Parents Katrina and George Ordel!
She is such a beautiful baby!!! I love her so much!
Lately, I have been over helping Katrina's alot!!! Its lots of fun for the most part. lol
Briana now weights 9 lbs. and is almost 7 weeks old tomorrow. Can't believe she is that old already.
All Briana's pics are on facebook... sorry for those of you who don't have fb.

I know this post is a little late for a birth announcement but thought better late than never and wanted to post it on here!

Keep praying for me as I continue to seek God's will for my life!!!

Summer gone

Summer: where has it gone?? It's so sad that summer is almost over. I'm mainly talking about the weather because I have been on summer vacation for awhile now that I'm out of college.
Vacation: was absolutely so much fun!! I'm so ready to go back!!!
We went to Nags Head, North Carolina.
Nothing exciting has really happened in my life since the last I blogged.
But I do know that God is good and has remained the same and always will be!!!
But in about a month, my niece should be here but we will see if she will be on time or late!!!!
Please continue to pray for me as I continue to seek God's will for my life!!
P.S. Please let me know that you are reading this... I don't know if anyone still does and if I should continue to blog. Thanks!

my summer is going well... it's just going way to fast!
This past week, I was house/dog sitting which was fun for the most part because I had an easy week since my boss was gone. :) Monday, I got to enjoy about 4 hours in the pool. It was so much fun and relaxing!!!
Less than 3 months and my little niece will be here. This coming week, mom and I are having a baby shower for mommy and baby. It's going to be so much fun!!! I can't wait till the baby gets here!!! It's going to be awesome being an aunt!!!!

God is good all the time!

Lately, I have been walking alot!!! Its so awesome that I can pray while I walk and today I asked God specifically for something that seems kinda small but its pretty big to me. It's great to know we serve a big God and He cares about everything. If He didn't answer I would still praise and love Him but I'm so glad he is concerned about everything that we are concerned about!!!! I'm just in awe of Him!!!!! God is so good all the time!!!!!

~Colby~

I finally took my car Colby to a car wash thursday night... my car was so dirty it did not do the trick. While i was using the pressure washer i injured my hand... it still hurts after almost 2 days. I must confess this was the first time I washed Colby since I bought him in December. lol
words to the wise: be careful when using a pressure washer... don't get your hand in the way!
On a better note, friday morning washed and scrubbed Colby again. Thanks goes to Jon, Josh and Mom for helping. My car looks so much better!!!
Also, Colby got a cleaning of the inside of the car too!
BTW, my car just received his name this weekend!
Went to the dentist yesterday, the hygenist and me had quite the conversation... even asking personal questions if I had a boyfriend. lol
Got to see and hold my cousin's baby... Carter Lee weighted 3 lbs 14oz. He is so tiny. It was so cute to hear his little cry! Carter is the third great grand baby born in a week's time period in our Glick family. About 20 more weeks, till My niece is born!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!
Today, is my 2nd graduation party!!! Mom had a party for me after graduation 2 weeks ago with my friends in Cincinnati!
Yay for good food and fun ahead today!!!!

Graduation

I officially graduated from college!! I am now an alumni of God's Bible School and College!!!!
Its such a great relief to be done and have my diploma in my possession!! yay!
Saturday, was a great day!! I had been praying ( and later found out other people were praying too) that it wouldn't rain. It was such an answer to prayer when it didn't rain at all on Saturday. God is so good to us I'm so thankful that the Lord blessed us with such a beautiful day on Saturday. During graduation, I was thinking this is not me... I can't believe I am about to graduate... wow how time flies. After graduation, my family had a small party for me. It was so special to have many friends celebrate this special occasion with me.
I want to thank Jesus most of all for his help in accomplishing this huge milestone in my life. I couldn't have done this without Him!!!
For those, who have prayed for me and stood by me these last 5 years thank you. For my friends, you are all the best!!! For being there when I needed you... studying with me, crying with me and just letting me talk. I love you.
For my family and those who didn't think I would never make it through my freshman year... Well, I proved you wrong and I made it through 5 years of college!
Now, everyone is wondering what I'm doing next!!! The question is: to tell you or not to tell you! hmmm I think I will leave you in suspense...
Until next time: Keep me in your prayers!!!

Life is good! God is good!!
Counting down the days till graduation!! 12 days!!! I'm so excited but thankful to God for helping me accomplish this huge milestone in my life.
Also, I'm so thankful for my special friends that God has brought into my life!!! Thankful to God for the blessing that they are!
On another note, I get to go home this weekend... looking forward to being with my family and also attending the wedding of a dear friend of mine!!!

Banquet

My awesome brother!!

The two girls beside me are Becky and Ruth... we were freshman together and now we are graduating together!!

All the people at my table!

Sam, Melissa and me!!!!

It was a wonderful banquet... I laughed so much!!! I think it was the best banquet ever!!! I also had lots of fun after the banquet as well. We went to Meijer to buy a game and Steak and Shake to play our game and get shakes !!! yum yum

:)

I have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful weather we had today ... the high was in the 60's!!! God is so good!!!
Went out with a friend tonight... we had a great time together and had lots of fun talking about "girl stuff"
Yesterday, I read in my devotions about Christ' love and how the song goes.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky. Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!It shall forevermore endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.
This song reminds me how much God loves me and I'm so grateful that God loves me!!!!

Valentine's Day '09

My Valentine's Day was good... I got to sleep in... pretty much do nothing... I got a dozen roses... Then, dressed up and went out with a group of girls... We went to a nice restaurant and had supper... hit up the mall, walmart and barnes and nobles!!!!
I'm so thankful for my special Valentine!!! He is always with me and will never leave me!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here is some Valentine's Creamy Jigglers that I made into heart and x and o shapes!!!

Snow, Ice and More Snow!

This is me after cleaning off 2 cars. It was a work out; with several inches of snow and prolly inch or so of ice!! Sorry, its not at the bottom... where its supposed to be.

We got so blasted with snow and ice!

My car covered in the snow. This picture was taken from my bathroom window.

My car again... me and a friend trying to clear off my car. You can't even really tell its my car.

Schools have been off for three days now! Yesterday I didn't go to work because Cincinnati had a level 3 out. So, I walked over to my friend's sister house because my friend was there. It was nice to get out! I realized how much snow we really got!!! After I helped clean off her car... we walked over to my apartment and did my car.

Long awaited pictures

Here is my apartment after and before new curtains.

Friends that come over last night!

Here is the picture of my car! I have not named it yet!

Its Cold!!! Ps. 34:1

Baby, its cold outside... Today, we had a heat wave!!! I'm glad it warmed up some today! :)
Its been a pretty good week... still getting used to living by myself (Ps. 34:1) but God is good all the time and I love him so much! Even though I often feel lonely... Jesus is right beside me... living in my heart and with me everywhere I go!!! I'm thankful that even though I fail God never gives up on me.
One nice thing of having an apartment is that fact I can have friends over... like last night I had a coffee and movie night at my apartment. What fun was had by all!!! Thanks girls for coming over!!!!

New Year, New car

I have a new car!!! :) The same day, I decided to buy my car was the day we got the news my grandpa (Pap-Pap ) passed away. He had been sick for awhile and we knew he could go at any time. But, it didn't really hit me until the day of the funeral... I was so emotionally that day... but it was good for me to let it out!
Thank you everyone for all your prayers, kind word and everything you have done for my family. It means so much!!!
I am back in Cincinnati with my new car... Have not thought of a name for my car yet?? I need to get name it soon!!! I love my car and seems it going to be a great car for me! I praise God for helping me find a car!!!
So, at my apartment I have been having trouble getting wireless to work... as it advertised free wireless in the apartment building... I have tried several times to get internet and would never get a signal. So, tonight I thought I'm going to take it to my kitchen and then tried my closet and I got a signal!!!!!! So, I'm sitting on the floor in my closet!!!!! LOL
