The Plate Is Finished

The cupcake plate that I did on Mother's day is finished.  It took some time to post it but here it is.


It has been a while since I have been on here.  I have been really busy getting everything ready to start school fall semester at Grand Valley State University.  I got an apartment closer to the college in Allendale, Mi.  I am moving into my new apartment on August 1st.  So, there's a lot that I have to do between now and then.  I have to pack all of my stuff and get all of my stuff moved there.  I have to have everything transferred to Allendale.  This is such an exciting move.  I am so grateful to God every day for all of these blessings.  I will keep everyone updated.

Orientation and A New Apartment

Today was my orientation at Grand Valley State University.  It went very well.  I got my first two semesters classes sorted out and registered today and I am really happy with the classes that I choose.  I am also really happy with the advisor that the college placed me with.  She is very helpful, knowledgeable, and sweet and I believe that she will be able to point me in the right directions as far as my education is concerned.
After orientation my mother and I looked at apartments because I really want to move to Allendale.  This will make it much easier for me to get to classes if I do not have to drive so far.  Also, it will save on a lot of gas.  We went to a few places and then this apartment just literally fell into my hands and it is a dream.  It is the right price.  I don't have to have roommates.  I can have cats.  Its super close to the school, so close in fact,  that I could ride a bike if I had to or wanted to.  It has laundry facilities.  And the land lady seems extremely nice and very aware of who she rents to.  So I have decided to take this apartment and am putting the down payment down.  So its official I am moving to Allendale the first week of August.
I just can't believe how easy this process has been.  Everything is just falling into my hands and it is like God is kicking all the doors wide open.  I guess this was meant to be!  I am so thankful that I have this opportunity and I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life.
