one of these days.

So I have travel lust real bad and some days it's worse then others. It's bad though when I see I can go visit my friend Jill in TN for only 250 round trip, cheaper than driving! One day I'll see all the states and all my friends who live in them.

So on to other news. I had a really great weekend! Sarah came Friday and we just seriously talked all night. Then Saturday she made me breakfast :D Who would do that? I love breakfast! Then we went to the beach and walked around on the board walk and on the sand. It was so crowded already and it's not even summer. I feel like I forget how popular of a vacation spot this area is, since I live here now. Then we did some shopping, where I decided I might apply to get a 2nd job, cos they need help Sunday afternoons and it's right near my church. So still praying and thinking about that. Then we picked up JoAnne and went to the mall. I got 2 amazingly cute shirts! We ate at Uno's which was yummy. I got eggplant pizza! :D Then we went to JoAnne's and decorated for the baby shower! Sunday we (Sarah and I) went to Sunday School and then church. Both were really amazing, as usual. Then some people from my Sunday school class went to Panera. It was really nice because the people who came to Panera are people who usually don't go to our events, so I got to talk to them a tiny but more. Like I found out this one guy was homeless which is nuts and I would never think that! He's so friendly and nice, you would think nothing bad has ever happened to him. Then we went to the baby shower, which was fun! And then my dear best friend left me all alone :(

I did learn some things this weekend. That maybe you should have awkward conversations sooner and then you'll have more time in life to laugh and joke about things. When I grow up and get married, I must do everything psychically possible to become Sarah King's neighbor, which I'm okay with :D Parking attendants can't count. Little black girls are the best to talk to when you know no one else at a baby shower. Cat's like to eat rose petals. Two minute phone calls, shouldn't be underrated. Until the devil knows you're dead is a junky movie. Panera will give you boxes. I need to buy a belt, because if I carry balloons with both hands, my pants will fall down! Forgiveness is so beautiful, it should be miss usa. God provides and I'm silly for not wanting to wait for his timing some days! in Sunday School class I learned that if my future husband really loves me he buy me regular pj's and not sexy pj's! Which I learned is a really awkward Sunday School conversation, even with one of the best Sunday School teachers! lol

Tomorrow we're going to dinner, kinda to say goodbye to Celeste. I'm pretty bummed about this... not going to lie, I may cry just a tiny bit.

Well school in the morning, I must jet!

Shine on!

I love color God painted the sky!


Hello there. Today has been a kinda nuts-o day. Got some news which made me feel, upset, hurt, disappointed, and then glad. God really spoke to me about today at Bible study. We were talking about how David was anointed by God to be king, even though he seemed like the least likely candidate and seemed like he didn't have the tools to be king. But his anointing had nothing to do with David's abilities, but everything to do with GOD and what he was going to do through David. So this new situation that was thrown at me today and I feel unprepared and inadequate to take on. Now I have a new attitude. I know (especially thanks to a wonderful boyfriend) that this is where God wants me! And he's going to equip me for the job and help me to succeed there.

Also, tonight at Bible Study I won the door prize! A journal! I've really been wanting to buy a new journal, but haven't, I know I could get one for a dollar! But I dunno I just haven't, but now God answered my silly prayer for a new journal! So that was exciting!


Also, an old friend I haven't seen in 5 years wants to hang out in June when she comes to Virginia to meet a guy she's been talking to on eharmony. Random I know. Exciting though.

Also, I may be addicted to sweet tea...

Hello blogging world. ha, I mean my few readers. I just found out my Aunt's blog gets many more readers than me and she just started it. ha. Oh well.

So this has been an amazing spring break, the best I'd say! It has been fun and nice. I'm not going to lie, it's nice having a boyfriend who has been such a good friend for a while. We already know a lot about each other and I feel completely comfortable around him, even during awkward moments, ha.

So with all this goodness happening my heart is still a little cracked. I've just really have been missing college and my friends from college. Hardcore missing them. But I'll see them again! thankfully! :D


I got my haircut today and I heart it!! I dunno if anyone was curious. It doesn't look like anything special, my usual cut. I guess I don't like variety in life, ha. Ok, well I must run and take a nap. I've been very lazy this break...

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33

smile

I love getting letters and personal notes. This may be the weirdest one I've ever gotten though.

Dear Elise,
I don't really know how to tell you this, but your nostrils are insulting. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me in your closet and I saw you sit on my illegitamite child in Ghana. I'm sure you're midle-class enough to understand that I may pee my pants. I'm returning your toe ring to you, but I'll keep the results of that blood-sample as a memory. You should also know that I will not tell the authorites that you stole the whale from the backyard. and our friendship is ruined and I'm scratching my butt as you read this.
Greetings to your frog Leonard,
Sarah

My God is mighty to save!

So why is it AFTER Easter I get completely inspired and in awe of the Easter story. I mean Easter is the greatest gift God ever gave me.Sometimes I think I must be the weirdest person ever!

So spring break has been nice, but going by so fast. Spending time with my family, boyfriend, and friends, and it has all been a blast and amazing!


This morning I spent time guessing if any food in my fridge at VA will go bad. I think my orange juice and hummus might not make the cut or at least be close.

I did amazing last night and found seasons 1-3 of the Dead Zone for 7 dollar each, new! I was amazed with myself. Ok, I need to go to the band and lunch.

bored and waiting for Abbo to get here....

So last time I was home I never wanted to come back and now I never want to leave :) It's true something amazing did happen this break.

oh no!

AARRGGHH YOU! Glad that's out of the system...


So I have work tomorrow, sadly. Which makes good Friday seem a little less good. I know it is...


I need to sleep, but I have to pack. dang.

baby come back!

I just typed up a survey and now I just deleted it! In your faces! I dunno why, I just felt like, wow that was dumb, I need to delete that. I like random fun surveys this last one was kinda lame. So if I find a worthy one I'll post that. So the Esther bible study is over, how sad. BUT next we're doing Daniel, which is exciting, I'm pumped! So I just started a prayer journal and I'm already laughing at the things I pray for. ha. Like that one student would not bite himself as much. I can't wait until I'm 60, look back and that, and wander what the heck I was thinking! So today I hit a mile stone, a 45 minute one! 45 minutes on the elliptical machine and I didn't pass out! Not like I passed out before though. Not to much else going on. Today was a wonderful day filled with wonderful people. Sometimes I forget how much I just love talking and sitting with people and listening to their problems. I dunno why but it makes me happy, not that other people have problems, it just makes me appreciate my life so much more and makes me feel better if I can help them a tiny bit. Even though I may be sick from standing outside in the cold for the longest time with no coat on, it was worth it! 100%! But yes, not to much else going down... I'm excited to go home for Easter/spring break! One lovely week off, which makes me very pumped!


Umm yes, so not much else is new at all...how dull I am...

time waits for no one and no one waits for me...

So we took the kiddos to Krispy Kreme's for a tour and free donuts. Which was amazingly good and so nice of them. Cos they also gave us free coffee and soda pop! yum. So school has been going SO nice since the VAAP's are finished. Just cruising along with 3 more IEP's and 1 triennial to go. oh life how sweet you are!

Not much else has been going on, I've been keeping busy, but my apartment looks a wreck. BUT I have no choice but to clean it by tomorrow cos some gals from Sunday School are coming over for a girl's night. I'm making my yummie chicken salad, so I think I'm gonna cook the chicken tonight and have all that ready to go.

Also, for the record I love this quote. Forgiveness does not change your past. Instead, it changes your feelings about the past so that you can walk without hesitation into the future.

I've really missed my college friends tonight, random I know, but it hits me at weird times...
