To quote the Staind song, " It's been while",

Well to start things off, I've been really really busy as of late. LSU is amazing. I love it out here. THe people are wonderful, the campus is beautiful, and the classes are great...with the exception of one. However i do have a lil sad news dealing with the LSU deal. After this semester i will be returning to GSU to finish my undergrad degree. This decision has been made do to my financial status and LSU's unwillingness to waive my out-of-state tuition until i have achieved 30 credit hours at this institution. I am really going to miss it out here. Next semester was looking to be a great one. I was pretty much garaunteed a bid into Theta X which would have been a very good thing when dealing with grad school admissions as well as in getting jobs down the road. There will be some positives in returning back to GSU, but i just really don't know if i'm gonna be able cope with statesboro after having seen the promised land. This semester has gonna really good so far, I am struggling a lil in my italian class so that's gonna be a task trying to pull that grade up, but hey i guess that's what college is all about. It's supposed to be a little bit harder than high school right???

Some other sad news has occured within the past few hours, My cousin Jeff and his wife had been expecting the birth of their third daughter when last night during delievery, the mother was lost due to some kinda complications, so if you would, keep my family in your prayers.

Dad has decided that he is going to open a new resturant in the valley. It'll be called the Junction Grill, serving meals such as some fast food items as well as a menu set to model something similar to a huddle house. Mom is closing the flower shop at the end of the year which stinks cause that means i don't get to send flowers without having to pay anymore  but o well.

Me and Heather have made it through 4 months......4 months how awesome is that!!!!!!  I mean i can't believe that i have found someone like her and that she actually likes me back  . LOL I know that sounds crazy but she is so amazing. We have so much in common yet we are different in so many ways!! I Love every minute that i can spend with her and can't wait to see what God has in store for her life as well as hopefully our lives. Getting to spend more time with her will def be the best benefit to coming back to GSU. 

Dalton has grown so much. He never ceases to amaze me. He is talking so much and i still say that i have never seen a child that plays by himself so well. Getting to see him more often will be another plus.

well i've got a major test tomorrow so i guess i'll hit the books so till then all i have to say is that  MEAT LOAF ROCKS!!!!!

Well where should i begin. The past week and a half has been one of the most trying experiences in my life. I saw a friend of mine get deeply hurt by the actions of another and I was forced to stand off and do nothing but watch and listen. It made me feel almost totally helpless. However I see it as a major lesson from God, almost as if He is telling me and forcing me to pay attention to the lesson that I can't always contol things in my life and the I can't always protect the ones i love. I am doing everything i can to allow Him to take complete and full contol of my life, but i can def tell that subconciously, i am fighting it with all my strength.

So Heather and I have had a few ups and downs due to last week and what i was going through, I know i made it hard on her and for that i am really sorry b/c she already has so much on her plate that it was very selfish of me to make her worry about me. She is a really wondeful, special girl and I hope she knows that there is very little that i wouldn't do for her. She has really come into my life at a time when i could def use her support the most and for that I am very very thankful her. I feel that having gone through what we have gone through over the past few weeks has made us stronger in many ways. Sparks have flown and i don't think i'll ever be the same. She takes my breath away and I can't even begin to describe how i feel about her.

Well this past weekend was not a good one for me and my college football teams. UF some how upset the mighty Vols which really stinks but it's ok cause the vols are def looking a lot better than last year. Then For some odd reason Auburn U. changed their team colors to Black and White and they changed their mascot to a Zebra. So My Tigers traveled to AU expecting to play the WarEagles and ended up being beat my a much better Zebra Team. But it's ok cause We can still win the West with a few good breaks and we all know that the Zebra's can't win them all. On another sad sports rant...Tony failed to make the Chase for the Cup. That really stinks but Denny Hamlin made it in as well as Kevin Harvick and Dale Jr. So i'm kinda torn about who to pull for. I really like Denny, but i don't want a rookie to win the championship (he hasn't paid his dues and he doesnt' deserve it yet) I like Jr. but i don't think he can close the deal. So i think i'm pulling for Harvick. I mean i like his attitude...he reminds me of Tony, and i really just like how he handles himself on the track. Plus he really does deserve to have a good year, He's run so good in the Busch series this year and i think it would be awesome to have the Champion from Busch also be the Nextel Cup Champion in the same year...i'm not sure if that's ever been done so that would be cool.

On the school front, things are going ok, I'm just started taking tests and quizes so i'm not accustomed to the styles yet, so my grades are a lil sluggish but they'll improve. I do however have a lot of things that i am dealing with that do involve school, LSU, and just my life in general so i do as that yall continue to pray for me and my family as some major changes are about to occur back on the home front. I also ask that you keep my wonderful heather in your prayers as she is going through some testing times down in Americus as she is trying to find her place and how to handle things.

Well i guess that's it for now, so till next time........
I know it's hard not to, but try your best to not over react before knowing all the details. It might just save you from doing something that you would regret of from doing something stupid. It also might just make things better for you than they were before. (that one if for you Heather!!!!!)
