New Blog

Hi All you people that read my blog...

I switched over my blog to something for the future. Click Here

Highlights of the Weekend:

1- Church with M.

2- Sitting with Miss. S right before her nap and she gives us a big smile then lets out two rather large toots smiles and then laughs again. Kids are funny. : )

3- Making M's birthday present and holding off until Monday to give it to him.

To WordPress the blog or not???

I am considering switching my blog over to WordPress. I have been looking at the stuff WordPress has to offer and I kinda like it. WordPress has some nice security features, those seem to be drawing me to it a lot. Ans it would as be kinda fun to be able to create a more "professional" blog layout. : )

Engagement Pictures

Evantide Photography did our engagement pictures and they turned out wonderful! I still can't believe that I am getting married in according to the little counter thing 9 months and 5 days. Click here for a link to the blog. I can't wait for them to capture our wedding!

Wedding Planning Update

We found a place to have the wedding. Now I am getting very excited!!! If you want to know where it is send me a message. I don't want any creepy people finding out where I am getting married...
: )

Wedding planners make life so much easier!

New jacket

Let me put emphasis on the statement I m about to make. I do not like to spend a lot of money on clothes. In fact I like a good bargain on anything, but today it's all about the clothes. To be honest I am being kind of cheep because I feel the need to save money because I am getting married and well, money saving is something that comes with marriage, growing up, and as my little sister would put it, "Being a big person."

Anyway, I have been thinking that I need a new jacket to add to my clothing collection. I decided that it needed to be something that I could wear with pants, a dress, and a skirt. The only catch is that it had to come to $30. Well....

I found a jacket here:
It was $42, but I got if for $19!

I am very thankful to have a job, it just kinds stinks that I will not be able to see Mikey a lot this week. Plus side I get paid this week and I don't have work next Monday (Labor Day).

New Last Name

For those of you who must know I am not hyphenating my name again. It will not look like this: Kiah Ruggieri - Vande Putte - Geyense. It will however change from Ruggieri - Vande Putte to Geleynse. Shorter, but it will still be pronounced wrong. Its an improvement from Kiah Ruggieri - Vande Putte to Kiah Geleynse. Not as many letters. : )

June 25, 2011

June 25th, 2011 is the day I am getting married (did you all read that correctly? I am getting MARRIED) to my best friend Mikey. I can't wait to get married. I however am not looking forward to some aspects of wedding planning. Thank goodness I have a lot of people that have offered to help out. I am happy that Mikey and I have some time and things don't have to happen that fast.

I moved up to Bellingham to go to college for two years after some of my scholarships fell through. I didn't expect to like the area so much. I most certainly didn't expect to start dating somebody and then start planning a wedding. Glad God knows exactly what he was doing. : )

Mouse

There is a mouse in the house. I saw its nasty furry little tale around 3AM and I have been up. Because I am so considerate I waited until 6AM to call M. Naturally, he was sleeping. Naturally I do not want to fall asleep because furry dude might crawl all over me.

I now have some bling on my left hand!

I said, "yes"!!! It happened on July 26th, 2010 (Monday). Still thinking of a date.

Update: July

In regards to my post about Corban University prayers have been answered. Jesus is so good.

An update for July because the month is happening fast. M and I are taking a trip to Santa Barbara to visit friends and family. I am so excited to have some sun, and the beach. I am doing extra homework in an attempt to have a homeworkish free week. To say the least the last couple of weeks have been crazy because I have been studying for finals and I have been trying to get ahead in my classes.

June was the last month M and I were full-time middle school small group leaders. We are still going to be involved, but it was a lot and we felt it was a good time to take a break and recharge our batteries. So from time to time we will help out with various events, and got to youth group to hang out.

After M and I get back from our trip to Santa Barbara some friends are getting married. Around the same time some more friends are coming to visit. While that is all happening I start work. I have been asked to work full-time as works allows. Pretty excited about that it means more money to put away and save for stuff in the future. Crazy fun full next few weeks.

For the most part I am excited to be started this next season of life. I can't wait to see what Jesus has planned.

Corban University Class of 2012

My college announcement is finally here. I applied to Corban University's Adult Degree Program (ADP) and I got in. Basically, I will not have to go to Corban for classes because the whole program is on-line. My projected graduation date is the end of Spring Semester 2012. It is going to take a lot of self discipline to complete the program, but I can do.

Things to Pray for Regarding Corban:

• Pray that I will be able to graduate by Spring Semester of 2012.
  
• Pray that the money that has been saved for college for me will be made available.I have decided that I am not under any circumstances going to be taking out a student loan.
• Pray that family members will come to understand my decision.
  
• Pray that I can find a job that will provide me with money that I can uses for college, to put in a savings account, and for stuff that comes up.
• Pray that a position opens up at CTK Bellingham. I have been apart of this church for almost 2 years, and I want to work in a place that I am passionate about.
  
• Pray that I learn more and more about God during this season in my life.
  

Over Achiever...

I am a rather big over achiever and I want to get my homework done ASAP, but its kind of hard when teacher's don't post assignments until an actual date... : ) Maybe I am supposed to actually enjoy my summer... : )

School is Over

For the next week and a 1/2 and the I start summer quarter. I am closer to the next step in my college career. This is what my computer screen looked like for most of of the day:

Fruits and Vegetables

My dad nicely reminded me today that I do not eat enough fruits and vegetables so I decided that things need to change. As of today I am challenging myself to eating a full serving of fruits and vegetables for two full weeks. If I succeed I am going to treat myself to a new dress or a swimsuit (I haven't decided). Because I am super cheep I am going to only spend $50. If I don't succeed then no dress or swimsuit. : (

Summer

(Taken by R)


Summer is only 2 weeks away. Well kinda. I have a week off and then I start summer classes. I know. Sounds fun...

But at the end of the summer I am going to have my AA in Liberal Studies.

Beyond that this is what I get to do this summer:

• Go to Santa Barbara
• Hold L and adore his cuteness
• Go to the Casting Crowns Concert that I won 3ed row ticked to.
  
• Wakeboard (Maybe I will finally get up)
• Go to a lot of weddings
• Do some fun summer type stuff with M
  

Modesto Visit

This past week M and I went to Modesto to visit my family and see my sister graduate from high school. It was a great but short visit (5 days). I will have to post a couple of pictures after I am done with school next week.

Another thing. I know I said I would share my college announcement soon. So I am going to give you all an answer by July 1st. I know, I know. I like to keep you all in suspense... : )

Stay Tuned...

Stay tuned for my college announcement:

It will be announced in probably the next 2 weeks.

Options: College

Options:
Corban University (Adult Degree Completion)
WSU (On-line Degree)
Trinity Western University (Adult Degree Completion)

With all of the options I would be able to stay in Bellingham. I have no idea what I am going to do. Thank goodness God knows what he is doing.
