I am getting even worse at this keeping up with my blog. Hopefully when I get out to California I will have many more things to share. Which by the way I am leaving in only 6 days! So little time left and things are finally starting to get a little crazy. I still have a little over $700 left to raise - and that's just the project fee, that doesn't cover airfare, food and other transportation. If you wanted to look at it in terms of the big picture it would be about $1700. Since there is only 6 days for this money to come in, I am totally having to trust it in God's hands right now. He will take care of me and I am definitely having to believe that right now. So I would so greatly appreciate that whoever reads this to keep me in your prayers as well. I do trust that he will provide. He has already provided more than I could have imagined and I am so blessed for that.
In spite of that little setback, I am having some trouble with packing. I am flying American Airlines to San Jose, and normally you are allowed to check up to two 50 lb bags without being charged. However, the airlines just decided about two weeks ago I think that passengers would only be allowed to check one 50 lb bag and the second 50 lb bag would cost $50 extra. We all know that there is no way that I cant pack for ten weeks into one 50lb bag suitcase. There is just now way. When I would come home for the weekends I would usually bring one 50 lb bag and a 30 lb bag. Thankfully they decided a few days ago that they were lowering the $50 fee to like $15 or $25. Anyways, packing will be difficult because as I think I previously mentioned I am the biggest over-packer ever!
But in other news of my life.. I had a birthday on Sunday! To celebrate I went with family to OTB for lunch and then we had a little family dinner at PF Changes to celebrate my sisters birthday which was 2 days before mine. It was a decent birthday I guess. Nice and relaxed which I don't get too often.
Oh my goodness! 6 DAYS! It's so starting to sink in. As excited as I am about spending 10 weeks living on the beach in Cali and witnessing God do amazing things that he is always so great at, I am going to miss spending the summer at home with everyone I love so much.

I'm Finished!
My first year of college is over!
I would say "finally!", but "already?!" is probably more appropriate. It felt so weird packing up my room today.. I felt as if just last week I was moving in!
-PS I don't like packing up my room! Such a pain! I couldn't believe how much stuff I took with me to college. I drove up to school with my little Chevy Blazer - which was actually kind of big when I put all of my stuff in it - and my mom and two sisters in the car. With them in the car we couldn't fold down the back seats to fit more things in there, so I took two boxes and a microwave to my roommates house so they could drive it up there. Okay.. so two boxes an a microwave... that's really not very much that I left out of my car. (We wanted to be able to see out the back window, otherwise we would have been able to fit everything in my trunk).
Here comes the part where you say.. "Of course Katy would have to do this"... At Christmas time, I had a friend who was driving home bring back a huge bag of clothes that I didn't need at school anymore. There were a TON of clothes. I had practically cleaned out my entire dresser.
Okay so a lot of clothes were removed from my room. I guess somehow I ended up shopping too much this year... and unfortunately I didn't figure this out until we were packing up my car today. (Okay you should also know that only my mom came to pick me up from school, so this time we could fold down my back seats to have more space to bring home a few things I may have bought). I had over two car loads of stuff. Well over two car loads. Today we bought a storage unit.. and I must say I did a pretty good job of filling it all up.. in addition to the full car I already had. I ended up leaving almost everything I owned back in Lubbock. So all I have right now are my clothes, shoes, accessories, movies, toiletries and maybe a few blankets. So sad I had to leave everything else behind :(
I can't wait to live in one place for the next three years! I am definitely going to be one of those people that rarely moves. Packing is for sure not my thing.
Other than packing and moving, this year has been pretty great :)
