September 2022

The months just continue to fly by! Life is full of moments to enjoy, and things to be thankful for. Taking pictures along the way help me to remember them and enjoy them more. 

September 1 was the wedding of my dear friend Kimberly!

She was a beautiful and radiant bride!

So thankful for this dear friend!

Sis. Becker and I got to help by serving cheesecakes. :)

So thankful for how God wrote this godly couple's beautiful love story!

Doing my last semester of college, so I've been studying a whole lot! My sweet friend Brittany is in the same boat, so we often meet to study together. :)

After church on Sunday one day!

We had a special service to install the new youth pastor, then a pitch-in dinner afterwards.

Love these kiddos so much!

Sept. 5, we had new church friends over for supper, games, and getting aquainted.

Studying with another friend!

Sept. 6, I was absolutely thrilled to get to see my best friend, Ivanna for a few hours!! It was a last minute thing, and brief, but so good to be together!

Moments on GBS campus:

Sept. 10, my friend Rebecca and I went on a bikeride at Lunken Airport, which turned into a walk because of a busted tire. :D
Then back in Cincinnati we went on another adventure.

She introduced me to a coffee shop...

... and we went to Sugar N' Spice Diner - my first time being there.

We had fall revival at GBS with Bro. Paul Gray preaching.

Matching one day with Mary!

Enjoyed lots of meals on the patio while the weather was nice!

Studying with Brittany!

Studying with Abi at GBS library. So glad this friend is back at school!

 Love me some kiddo time! =)

My Sr. Worldview class all showed up coordinating colors one morning! :D

Sept. 21 my friend Natalie came to visit us for a day! It was so fun to catch up with her and show her GBS and my classes.

This girl has been such a sweet friend for 8 years now! My heart is always blessed by being with her.

Firetruck day for the academy kids one day.

Took Bethany out to eat at my old Chick-fil-A one day!

Sept. 24, I met several friends/families at Idlewild for some biking time.

It was such a fun afternoon!

Trying out some trails through the woods.

This dear family is always up for an adventure.

Checking out the creek.

Trying to find a balance :D

My sister got to come home for her birthday weekend!

The current theme at Jr. church.

I've been getting to do some observations at schools for one of my classes. I was thrilled to get to observe at St. Rita School for the Deaf in Ohio one morning. 

Thankful to be in a class with these friends!
Classroom Management class takes place in the 3rd grade academy classroom.

National Coffee Day with friends!

Later that day, more coffee with more friends!

Ecc. 12:13-14: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."
James 4:14b-15: "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.'"
