Happy Birthday Hudson Michael Brown! My sweet Anna had her first baby today! I'm so excited I can barely put it into words. I've only seem a picture but I already love that little boy with all my heart! I can't wait to see him in person!!

This song is for you Hudson....

"You're a little piece of heaven
You're a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty's on the outside
And being good's a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep him close when he's scared
And give him grace when he is weak
I know he'll stumble
But I know he'll make it through
If you hold to him just like
You said You'd do
Hold him Jesus
And he'll hold on tight to You"

School's in for the summer...

School started for summer semester and surprisingly I'm excited about it. Now, I've never been one to be excited about school. I just learned what studying was in graduate school:) But for some reason this summer excites me. I'm not sure if its the anatomy class in which we get to dissect human cadavers (which has been really cool so far!) or just the craziness/funniness of this busy season. We'll see....

Back from Mississippi

Well, I'm finally home after a long ride! It has been a great break though. I spent several days at the beach with the girls, a few days at home, and then Stacey and I went to Mississippi for a few days to visit her grandparents and one of my best friends, Anna!! She is pregnant and due any moment! It was such a fun and relaxing trip. One of my favorite things to do is to spend good times with good friends and that just what this trip was. Not only did Stacey and I get some good "BFF" time (that was for you Stace). Anna and I got to catch up on life and I got to feel baby brown move! A lot!! Life is such a miracle and a blessing! God continues to bless me with such amazing friends both new and old!

a little catch up...

So school has been crazy since the last time I posted! Spring semester is over and I have two weeks off before starting a crazy summer full of anatomy lab and other fun classes. This semester was pretty tough and busy! Some girls from class have been planning a beach trip since we got back from Christmas break. It helped us get through the semester classes! I actually just got back today for that! It was an amazing trip and a needed one! I've also been preparing for another mission trip. The team was suppose to leave on May 10th (just a few days away) but it was canceled due to the swine flu outbreak down there. Continue to pray for Mexico. They're going through a lot right now. I was really upset about the trip being canceled, but I'm just trying to trust God even without understanding. Missions has such a special place in my heart and I am just disappointed. I do however get to go and see a good friend is Mississippi now. She is having her first baby and its been killing me that I haven't been able to be there with her during the whole process. She is due in about two weeks and I can't wait to meet baby brown! I'm going to love that little one so much! I've also be thinking about some updates to this 'ol blog. It's about time for some changes (way past time actually) so I'm going to move some things around, update others and try to post more pictures. So get ready for some fun changes!
