Friendly Friday!

Hey Ladies -

Thanks for hanging in there with us, we're still trying to figure out how the blog is going to work, what will be featured on it and which days. Also, April has been sick this week so be lifting her up in prayer as she prepares for a fun weekend, hopefully all better!

In the mean time, we have a new featured lady for this week, and it is my pleasure to introduce you to Krysten!

Name: Krysten Marshall

Major: I'm currently in University Studies, but I'm looking to switch into Apparel, Housing and Resource Management. (Maybe.)

Favorite hot drink & why? Chai tea from Deet's. It tastes like Christmas in a cup and Deet's has the best!

Why did you choose VT? I chose Virginia Tech on a whim. I decided one day that it would be my first choice of the schools I applied to, but I began the semester with no idea what I wanted to pursue for a career. I knew the campus was beautiful, the people were friendly, it had great educational opportunities and Hokie football was amazing. That was all I needed to know!

If you could do anything without the possibility of failure and money wasn't a restraint: what would you do? If I could do anything, I would run a marathon. I ran the Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon in May 2011 and I'm definitely planning on doing at least one full marathon before I graduate from Tech.

What is your favorite thing to do to rest and/or relax? This just might make me a total weirdo, but I enjoy cleaning to relax. I'm a very organized person, so it gives me a very nice settling feeling to know things in my room are clean and organized.

Are you reading any books right now? Adjusting to college has left me up to my neck in textbooks and novels for future essays. However, I have "Heaven is For Real" about 10% completed on my Kindle and I'm anxious to continue that when I find the time.

How has God encouraged you recently? God has really encouraged me by bringing me to the BCM. I started school here with very few good friends. After being surrounded by so many non-Christians in my dorm, I felt like it'd be difficult to find a group of people in which I'd fit in. Since attending 6:33 and bible studies with my Brown family at the BCM and going to NLCF Sunday services in Squires, I've really felt God working in my heart and bringing wonderful people into my life. I'm very thankful! :)
