There IS an app for that.

I am on my iPhone. This baby is a gift over and over. Which is great because it is my birthday gift. My birthday which is next week. This phone that I've bad since summer. I keep finding great new apps that make me use my computer less and less. I just got the blackboard app so that I can see my grades and class announcements, assignments, info where ever I am. It just keeps getting better. And now I can blog on the go. Im at home. At caribou. Doing homework with the wonderful Kim. She is blogging also. Cute.
No class
Thursday, October 27, 2011
Today I was suppose to have one class. Our professor wasn't going to be there...yet we were suppose to show up and watch a movie. I didn't really like that idea but I would have done it. Until I got an email this morning that said it was cancelled. I woke up early for staff breakfast at 7. Went back to bed till 10. Found out that my class at noon was cancelled. Went back to bed till 11:30. It was absolutely beautiful. I feel lucky. Now I'm still in my PJ's, listening to Taylor Swift and I can justify time to blog! I love it! I'm happy.
My computer is dying. The hard drive is going to die any day/hour. I'm surprised that it has lasted this long since its initial signs of death. I am going to go home again this weekend to get it replaced. Thankfully everything was backed up last weekend so I am not worried about that. It is also my Dad's birthday on Monday so we can celebrate that. My computer could not have picked a better week to die. My classes are as calm as ever. This weekend is a great weekend to go home. If I had to pick a week for my computer to die I would pick this one. I also want to figure out what is wrong with my feet and why they burn so much when I run.
During this season I have often found myself looking back on what was happening in my life a year ago. Not because I am still hanging on but because it is amazing how much things have changed. It is a good thing. I have grown in ways that I never saw coming. "Maybe its me and my blind optimism to blame"-Taylor Swift. "I see it all now that your gone. Don't you think I was too young to be messed with." I swear Taylor sings about my life! Anyways...its amazing to see where God has brought me to today.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" Ephesians 3:20

John Wesley Weekend
Monday, October 24, 2011
I think that "Fall Break" is a misleading title. I was chatting with a friend that I was driving home after the weekend and we decide that saying "Break" makes both us and others think that its longer. However, Columbus Day weekend, or Memorial Day weekend you know is just one extra day to the weekend. We decided it should be called John Wesley Weekend (JWW). Not that anything significant with John Wesley happened that weekend but its just a weekend to celebrate his life. My JWW was great.
Cider. Donuts. Muffins. Friends. Laughter. Family. Coffee. St. Charles. Flash backs. Survivor. Modern Family. Omega 3s. Grilled Salmon. Apple Crisp. FBCG. Early Risers Sunday School. Sunshine. Leaves. Olivet. Running. Leroy Oaks. Planning classes. Conversation. Encouragement. Sleep. Naps.
I am so incredibly blessed. God is so faithful. It's absolutely insane to think back a year ago and where I was at and to think about how far God has brought me and then to think about where He will bring me next year.
Guard your heart Paige. Guard your heart Paige. Guard your heart Paige.

On the last episode of The Adventures of Paige..
Recently I have had a good amount of papers and tests...and still have more to come this week. My Grandma and Mom came for grandparents day. Then as a staff we went to Chicago and stayed at Emily's grandparents. It was so much fun. I was actually amazed by how relaxing it was to get away. I absolutly love our staff. Today we have North Hall Day away. My running has been less than ideal. I can't seem to get myself up in the morning when I want to run...then I beat myself up about it. Its stupid. But I have been running with Kim in the afternoons. So that's been a joy. I spend a lot of my time on the North Hall porch with friends doing homework. I have to enjoy it now while the weather is still tame enough. I get to go home on THURSDAY! I am going to stop by Olivet Nazarene University on my way home to see some awesome people. This is the longest I have ever been away from home. I am so excited for home cooked meals, sleeping in my own bed, hugging my family, looking out at my yard.
Its so weird to me when I think about where I was at just a year ago. I actually feel like I've gotten younger. I get a second chance at the whole freshman dorm thing haha. I love it. My roommate is awesome. We have way too much fun together. It's incredible how much more I love IWU. My heart is so much more content. My heart is filled. This has really become a home to me.

We're Going to Chicago!
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Last night we had No/So worship night (see post from last year about that...I could link them but im too lazy). We also found out where we are going for our staff retreat this weekend. We are going to stay at Emily's grandma's house outside Chicago. I'm excited to get away with our staff. It will be weird being so close to home....and not being able to be home. Luckily I will see my mom TOMORROW and Friday for Grandparents weekend. I am so ready to go home for a little bit. But that won't happen for few weeks. It is amazing how at home I am here this year compared to last year. I have a lot more to do.
My nephew is wearing shoes now...so I basically feel like I am missing him grow up. I wish St.Louis really meant Indianapolis or something. I got free sample kcups in the mail yesterday and I'm trying one now. Its delicious. I love me some coffee. Fall is here. The weather so far this week as been fantastic. I have two flag football games tonight. That's pretty intense. Again... not sure where things are going to get done. But God provides in funny ways. I am also in constant fear now that my computer is going to crash. However when I think about it crashing I feel like I wouldn't be able to remember what I was missing. Weird. Hopefully it doesn't. I wish I had more time to blog. I miss it.
Grace and Peace
