SLU Graduation

It's true, college has come to an end.  I can't help but think back on the past 4 years... and when I do, I get chill bumps and tears in my eyes.  What an amazing season of life.  That first year, God called me into a relationship with Him - I will never be the same! He has redeemed my life and is continuing to transform me each day.  I'm so thankful for His perfect plan and timing.  I serve an awesome God!  I met my very best friends in college, and many other people who have impacted my life in such a huge way.  It was truly a blessing to have so many girls/women in my life to speak truth and to challenge me.  Campus Outreach brought so much to my life through Summer Beach Project, New Years Conference, and CCP to Thailand.  I know that the Biblical training that I got through CO was priceless and I'm so thankful for that.  Then, that third year, I met that stud that you see in the picture below.  Josh pursued me at a time that I thought I was called to singleness. :) I never saw it coming!  He loves the Lord and he loves me.  It doesn't get any better than that.  I've spent the last year of college married to this amazing man and loved every second of it.  I'd have to say that these past 4 years were the best of my life.  It was a fun day to celebrate those memories!

Our weekend back in LA... and Lamar vs. SLU

This weekend we got to go home and visit some family and friends! It was a fun road trip :) We stayed at my dad and Jamie's on friday night. Saturday morning we woke up to sweet little McKenna! She is too precious. She's saying her name now.. "Kenna Alec Coo". We ate breakfast and hung out with them for a little bit and then went to Hammond! We got to see Cole, The Chances, ( or as Josh calls them.. The Wayne Chances) and Casey and Joey. Josh had to head to the field, and I went to eat with Josh, Hannah, and Casey. Then at the game I got to catch up with soo many great girls and I loved it :) Hayley, Kelly, Jenee, Heather, Taylor, Cali, Heidi... to name a few! Can't wait to see them all again!

Now about the game...

I was the ONLY Lamar fan in the SLU student section (obviously) and I got some dirty looks! But it's ok... I dealt with it. :) At half time we were down... and when Josh stopped by to say hey before heading to the locker room he said that we were going to win. I was pretty confident that what he said was true! I wasn't sure how, but I just knew that we would win. 2nd half... we score 3 touchdowns and win by 1 point. Oh, how sweet! Before we came to Hammond, I thought that I wouldn't care who won the game, because I'm attached to both teams. Turns out that's not true. I'm a Cardinal! Who would've though?! Josh and I are still talking about the game... and I think we may all season!!

After the game, we stayed the night with The Blacks :) we just love those 2! The plan was to wake up and go to church with them at 9... but we woke up at about 10:30 :( I guess Saturday was just a little too much excitement for us! Great weekend! Love family! Love friends! Love football! :)
