Today is the Day!

First I would like to say thank you to those of you who still check and see if I have written. As you have probably suspected I have been kind of busy. The last two weeks I have been at camp Koinonia-The camp I grew up going to and now have returned to with my youth group. It's a good camp. I might write more about that on Convicted later. Anyway-Thank you for still believing that I exist somewhere in this vast expanse.

Now for some very exciting news that most of you already know...My niece was born on July5. She is precious! Here are some pictures.




Her name is Ava Michelle Nelson. She weighed 9lbs. 5oz. and was 21 inches long. She has a full head of hair as you can tell and her big brother loves her very very much. It was fun to go down and see them! Yay for babies!

And the last topic for the day but certainly not the most important nor pressing is the 64 for 64. Today is the last day and I cannot tell you how excited i am. The adventure has been long and challenging but with the help of the Lord God Almighty in Heaven I have persevered. It was harder to keep up with the challenge when I was in town because when you're at camp and you only get one soda a day and that's at dinner, it makes it easy to choose the path of truth and light. But alas, i am not sad to see this one come to an end. Diet Dr. Pepper in the morning is a Mandy necessity. Some drink coffee. Some drink tea. Some eat donuts. I have even know people to go straight to the source and down a couple of packets of pure sugar in the mornings. For me it's Diet Dr. Pepper. Oh tomorrow will be a great great day!

What's next? I have deemed this the year of challenges. I started with the iPod challenge and went to completion. Then came the 64 for 64 water challenge which is almost over. What now? I have an idea but I am open to suggestions. Anyone have a grand challenge idea? Let me know!

Be Blessed!!!
