Today was a good and stark contrast to yesterday. Yesterday I spent about 20 hours writing a paper for my Integrative Health class which proved to be a lot more difficult than originally anticipated. The lack of resources as well as expertise in the field (and a new citation style I was unfamiliar with) led to ultimate frustration during the tedious writing process. I had started on it on Friday and didn't get very far - was struck down with the stomach flu which forced me to save it all until yesterday. The frustration with the lack of resources on my topic led me to abandon it and change course to adopt a new idea for my paper. After having changed course it still took me about 8 more hours to actually gather all of the information and put it into a research paper- I finished the paper at 4:30 AM, and overslept for class by one hour this morning. On the other hand- today was beautiful. To get a breather after yesterday's research paper disaster, I went to explore a beautiful marina that I have had my eyes on since September when I started school- I always drive by it in the morning and make endless promises about visiting it someday: today was someday and it didn't disappoint.

Well this is awkward...

Hey guys! Well since my name has already been announced in the previous blog post I guess I need no introduction ;) My name is Tanya and I consider myself to be a good friend of Vicky's. We met a few years back through my sister because she kept talking about a funny, nice girl named Vicky. To see for myself what all this rave was about I met her. But you know what's funny? I cannot remember the day we really talked or when we became such good friends. It just happened. Just like that. If I had to describe Vicky in one word, one of the first words that pops into my head is genuine . She is that person you can talk to with whatever is on your mind, someone you can turn to when you have questions, and definitely someone who will not judge but be there to guide you and offer help. And I am so thankful for that. Looking back, I can see that our friendship developed rather spontaneously (or maybe I just have bad memory lol). But I do see now that God orchestrated this friendship...

Hey guys, please go read the following article about the unconstitutional mandates of ObamaCare and the company Hobby Lobby who refuses to comply with the laws because they are a violation of Christian beliefs. I feel very soon it will be very difficult for Christians to be owners of businesses if things continue to proceed as they are now. Praise God for the Green family who stand up for His truth and make it known that they will not sin against the Almighty even if it will cost them their business. It is important for us to know what the government requires of us and even most important to know what God requires of us. It is our responsibility to stand up against that which violates our obedience to God. Please pray for the Green family as they go through this difficult time, that they may remain faithful to the Lord even if it costs them everything. Also pray for our government so that the people making the decisions may be wise men who's views correspond...

Cool Things

Was at the Land Bridge with some friends at night when we heard what sounded like deep gunshots, later to realize that the cannon at the Fort was being fired. We noticed candlelight there also so our curious minds just dragged us there. We discovered Campfire and Candlelight at the Fort, and I must say that I was completely blown away. Everyone was dressed up as people from different wars in history and had stations set up to display how certain things would happen back in the day. We got to see a nurses station, and were impressed by the soldiers quarters. I was offered to have my wisdom teeth removed by some scary contraption and the postman was distressed to find that we came without any "men folk" lol. I felt like I was in a movie and was blown away by the attention to detail. Old typewriters, pipes, letters, maps, torn tents, and everything was lit by lanterns. Looking forward to next year. I live in such a cool place with such interesting history. On the other ha...
