I just got some new college classes in the mail over the weekend...I'm very excited to get started. I'm taking two classes right now, World History I, and Sunday School. Hopefully I'll do well...I'll have to post a pic of the size of my History book...it's HUGE!!! Well enough of my ranting. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!<br /><br />Your Friend,<br /><br />Melissa~<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6908242432080722902-5962298166068678409?l=mj1116.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07423366796269164443noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908242432080722902.post-56674543714801111112009-02-17T11:25:00.000-08:002009-02-17T11:41:22.719-08:00<span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;" ><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Only 30 more days till </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new;">Spring</span><span style="font-family: courier new;">...</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QyKcvaYAKiM/SZsPvAuaoZI/AAAAAAAAClI/wTeslG_I-Zc/s1600-h/Gerber+Daisy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 265px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QyKcvaYAKiM/SZsPvAuaoZI/AAAAAAAAClI/wTeslG_I-Zc/s400/Gerber+Daisy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303850286481842578" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">...and I can't wait!!!!<br /><br />Thought I would leave you with this quote that I thought was just so cute.<br /><br />"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush."<br /></span></span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman,Arial;font-size:180%;" ><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6908242432080722902-5667454371480111111?l=mj1116.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07423366796269164443noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908242432080722902.post-29510417282099644632009-02-12T07:24:00.000-08:002009-02-12T07:43:48.893-08:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><br />So I've been trying to come up with something to post about. It's just been one of those weeks that nothing really exciting has happened yet. But, that will change tomorrow</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> with the Friendship Banquet at the church. :) I'm so looking forward to it, it's always a blast!!!<br /><br />Anyway, about my post, a couple of weeks ago I took my brothers out to try Thai/Japanese/Chinese food</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> for the first time. Well, Chinese is not new but the others are. They were a little curious; but, I absolutely love it. Anyways, Josh decided to try the Thai food and got Mango Chicken, Justin the child that he is got, GET READY, Beef and Broccoli, and I got SUSHI!!! I can't believe I admitted it; but,</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> I LOVE sushi!!! If you've never tried it I would absolutely recommend you giving it a shot, you never know. ;) Well, thought I would promote this little place in Center Moriches called, Tony's!!! It's really good in my opinion. If you are inspired to try it out, let me know how you like</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> it!!! Have a great day everyone!!! </span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QyKcvaYAKiM/SZRCOe7wH0I/AAAAAAAAClA/2lRYwCiBpgA/s1600-h/DSC01416.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QyKcvaYAKiM/SZRCOe7wH0I/AAAAAAAAClA/2lRYwCiBpgA/s400/DSC01416.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301935477911199554" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6908242432080722902-2951041728209964463?l=mj1116.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07423366796269164443noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908242432080722902.post-48338595150775315472009-02-07T09:58:00.001-08:002009-02-07T10:11:51.725-08:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Yesterday my family decided to pack up and and head back to Alpine Mt. for another fun day of skiing.

We were discussing how unique each and every snow</span><span style="font-size:180%;">flake is. To think that not one snowflake is ever the same as the next; and right now we have inches of them falling all over New York!!! The snowflake is just another way that</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> God continually shows us how much He cares about each and every aspect of creation. The point of the discussion was to make us think that if God has put that much thought into a snowflake, how much more does God care about each and every one of us. God has made each and every one of us differently. He has given each of us different talents and abilities. Not one person in the entire world is exactly the sam</span><span style="font-size:180%;">e as another. God has an individual plan for each and every life. Who would know that plan for us better than the One who created us to do it? This lesson encouraged m</span><span style="font-size:180%;">e so much. It's easy to become discouraged when God's plan for your life is unclear; but, if I learned anything from that lesson it's this, I can trust God with my future </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" >no matter </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" >what</span><span style="font-size:180%;">!!!!!<br /><br />I wanted to share an article that was shared with us at our lesson. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! It sho</span><span style="font-size:180%;">ws some of the various types of snowflakes that have been studied. I'm still amazed at the beauty of such a small object.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);">***</span><a href="http://www.snowflakebentley.com/">Bentley's Snowflakes</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);">***</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QyKcvaYAKiM/SYkOy_lkrQI/AAAAAAAACjY/q0aNEmGwfyY/s1600-h/bentleycamera.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
