the vacation ends and its back to school

After spending Christmas and New Year at home with my family, my last activity in Belgium was going to winterkamp to spend time with fellow Christians of my age (16+). Most everyone who was there were people I grew up with...whom I've grown very close to and love and miss dearly!(If you guys are reading this, I miss you a lot!)

I had a wonderful time and was really sad to have to leave a day before kamp was done to be able to prepare for our flight home.
Our flight home was rather crazy in Chicago. We got held up at two security check points. Apparantly we look like terrorists! The thing was, we only had an hour and a half to get off our plane, get our bags, go through customs and security and get to our next plane (for which we had to take a bus to another terminal). We just barely made it! We were some of the very last ones to board the plane. But GOd is good and He let us on. That flight was good...it was a small plane, so turbulance was a ton of fun! Yea, i know I'm weird.
So we got to OKlahoma on Thursday and the three of us stayed with friends and family until we could move into our dorms/appartments without having to pay $20 a night. I got settled in on Saturday and hung out with some friends. We got to have lunch with some good friends from Canada, and then I got to go see one of my friends who just had a baby (and I got to see him too....such a little cute baby boy!) Could guys please pray for them (Cassie and Erick)? He was born 13 weeks premature. He is doing really well, but at this age and size, any small problem could cause big complications.

Ok, well, its Monday morning now and I start classes today, so I should go get ready to have a great day of education!
I hope you all have a blessed day! Please let me know how your Christmas and New Year went and how you feel to be back at school and/or work.
Love you all!
