sun. shorts. friends.

This weekend has been on of the best all year! On Saturday, a BUNCH of us lay out in front of one of the dorms and tanned/did homework/hung out. It was so great! It started with about four of us and slowly grew and grew until there was about 15 of us. It was SO much fun to hang out with all my friends, in the sun no less! Saturday was the first day I have worn shorts since summer! AMAZING! :) I did not want that day to end!
Saturday night, six of us girls jumped in cars and drove to Newberg where one of our friends lives. We watched movies that night and relaxed. Sunday morning we went to church. Then we headed up to Portland to the Saturday Market. Such a fun place! I bought a couple of nifty items which make me happy! Then we drove back to Newberg where we all jumped on a bed and napped/cuddled :) Then Heather's mom cooked us a DELICIOUS Easter meal! It was SO good! Then we packed up and drove back to Salem! When we got back, we played cards, talked, and watched another movie! Finally at 3:00 I managed to get to bed :)
Today is a day off for us because of Easter so I have been relaxing :) Seriously though.... this weekend has been so awesome! YAY SUMMER WEATHER!! (which btw only lasted one day. Its now raining/hailing. Whatever, its Oregon :) )

i hate cancer.

Two days ago, one of my NZ friends who I had grown up with went home to be with God after suffering from brain cancer. She only found out about it recently (as in a few weeks ago) and it got really bad really fast. I am glad that she isn't in pain anymore, but she was SO young! The same age as me! I am realizing that God's plans really are FAR from my own. And apparently He has more surprises up His sleeve than I expected. Its really hard to look at class pictures of us as kids and realize that Anna is no longer on earth. You expect that sort of thing once you get to be older, but we are not even 20 yet. Gahh. Its so hard to accept and I am not really okay with it, but I know that eventually God will reveal the reason for taking Anna so young.
