What? I have a blog?

Why hello blogosphere! It's been awhile hasn't it? I don't really know why I'm updating this because I think my mom and dad are the only people who actually read this, but I felt the urge to write today. Ergo, here I am.

Looking back, it seems that the summer was the last time I posted here, aside from relaying my roommate's Mario poem to you, so there's quite a lot to catch up on. Here are the most important things (in no particular order of importance):

• I started to date the most amazing girl in the world, Maria Tsuleff. She's pretty incredible. She knows more about history than I know about Power Rangers (which is quite a lot), she's got the most incredible heart for the Lord, and I can't believe she's dating me. For the record, it's a pretty cool thing when you start to date your best friend. The feeling is quite unmatched. I could go on and on, but you would just say, "Andrew, we know. Shut up about it already" like my roommate does.
• I was accepted (and so was Maria) into Taylor's Masters of Arts in Higher Ed program for this next fall! It has been quite the ride deciding about which path to pursue as far as further education, but I'm pumped that the Lord has led me back to this place for the next two years and I can't wait to see what He will do in my life. I've also been hired as the Student Programs graduate assistant, which was my top pick and I cannot wait.*
• PA things are going incredibly well. I couldn't have asked for a better floor to have my senior year of college. It will be hard to leave. But it makes it all the sweeter knowing that I'm going to be working in student development in the future when I have times like this to look forward to later down the road.
• I finally own a Snuggie.
• I joined Men's Ministry this year and it has been a great experience. The guys I work with are great and I'm glad I've gotten to know them this year. What's even better is that I might be able to help out with it even next year!
• I've been invited to 6 weddings so far. Holy. Crap.
• I've joined a Fantasy Baseball league for the first time. I'm planning on getting some help from friends like Dauthan and Yoder to pull me through. But I'm excited.
• Did I mention Maria and I started dating?

All things considered, God has really done some amazing things in my life this past year so far. Although I've basically bragged about how great my life is right now, there definitely have been some challenges too, but God has shown his faithfulness so readily to me this year. And don't worry, hopefully I'll write more insightful things as time goes and the semester draws closer to an end, especially as I reflect on my undergrad experience in sum.

*I've decided to drop of out school until next fall and join the circus as a lion tamer (except I'll come back to go to my Challenge/Ropes Course class because its kind of like training for the circus) because I'm just so excited.
