Well....interesting day I had....actually, only about the last half....

Mom and I were driving through downtown Matthews today and I decided I wanted to see if Baucom Park was still around. Back in the day when my cousins and I were little, my great Aunt Joan and great Uncle Paul (whom Paul is named after) would pick us up EVERY Thursday to eat dinner and play. They took us to Baucom Park a lot, and I always loved it because it was a really secluded place that you'd almost never find. That, and because I was always there with my family.

Well, Baucom Park was certainly still there....so I went and got on the swing for a while....and I could see myself as a 7 year-old little girl running around with my cousins and playing with Auntie and Uncle. Uncle Paul passed away almost 7 years ago, and sitting in that swing and thinking of him brought to my mind a very simple truth; Life is a vapor. That sounds like a no-brainer...but it never REALLY hit me until today how true that statement is. I've already been living here for 12 years. I've had a whole new set of brothers for over 6 years. I'm a COLLEGE student. Life goes so incredibly fast...

For my second revelation of the day....this also is a no-brainer, but ya know how sometimes things hit you at a certain time in a different way than they have before? Well, this was one of those moments for me. I was driving home in the car from band practice and out of the blue I just started crying...because for some reason, a thought came into my head....I AM SO INSIGNIFICANT....I am a NOTHING, and God loves me...and God has blessed me SO MUCH MORE THAN I DESERVE....He loves me SO MUCH MORE THAN I DESERVE...this isn't the first time I've been hit with that truth, and I'm sure it won't be the last time. It is a no-brainer. Every Christian knows that they're unworthy of God's love and forgiveness. I've always known that, but for some reason, and really for no reason at all, I felt that more than ever tonight....

Perhaps that sounds pathetic....two things that are such givens made sense in a totally different way to me today....but if I have to be pathetic for God to speak something new into my life, then so be it.

I'm broken. I'm undone. And it's the most amazing thing in the world:0)

~Jesus, Jesus,

Thank you for being the lover of my soul

Jesus, Jesus,

I'll always love you, the lover of my soul~

Alright people, update time....

Spring break....the best time of my life....not only did I get to spend a week with my amazingly hilarious bestestestest brother Paul, I got to spend a week with the sweetest guy in the world who stole my heart away....BEST WEEK EVER! And we pretty much did nothing....We went to a party, we went to church, we went to chiropractors, volvo dealerships, churches, we played uno, scrabble, and LIFE (in which i was barren but FILTHY RICH), we sang and played instruments, we got coffee, we watched movies, we talked, we laughed.....we basically had a very normal, laid back week....and it was the best ever....I love Paul...I love Ryan...and I'm counting the days till May...53 days till I see them again!

Josh Groban....ahhhhh people....I met the man....yes, its true. I met Josh Groban. Best concert EVER, amazing "Groband", Josh rocked, everything was great. Got sweet pictures of the curly haired wonder, got hugs, got autographs....it was one of the best nights of my life. It was wonderful to get to meet my favorite singer/celebrity and one of my favorite people in the world!

and i think some of you would be interested to know....HE IS COMING TO CHARLOTTE IN JULY! Dez is getting front row tickets....yea baby!

In other news....school is CRAZY busy, but its good for the most part....I got my cap and gown today...its crazy....i cant believe im graduating...I AM THE CLASS OF 07'! Its a very strange feeling....im pumped though! im ready to graduate:0)

Work is good....I've adopted two new children to my family; Ben and Natalie. They're precious....usually....and im loving being their nanny friend!

So life's good....I'm about to crash now though cause I stayed up till 1:30 this morning writing a paper and then spent all day working on an english project then taught two dance classes aaaaand its a wonderful life!

!HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY PEOPLES!

Well...I looooove taking advantage of this opportunity to dive into the cloud 9 love mood....hehehehe.....SO I dedicate this post to some of the greatest love songs of all time!

~I give her all my love

That's all I do

And if you say my love

You'd love her too

I love her~

The Beatles, "And I Love Her"

~I, I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is alright with me

Cause you make me feel so brand new

I want to spend my life with you~

Al Green, "Let's Stay Together"

~And we can build this dream together

Standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers

We'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now~

Starship, "Nothing's Gonna Stop us Now"

~I watch you spin around in your highest heels

You are the best one of the best ones

We all look like we feel

You have stolen

You have stolen my heart~

Dashboard Confessional, "Stolen"

~L- is for the way you look at me

O- is for the only one I see

V- is very very extraordinary

E- is even more than anyone that you adore

Love is all that I can give to you

Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it, take my heart but please don't break it

Love was made for me and you~

Nat King Cole, "L-O-V-E"

~Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me~

The Everly Brothers, "Let it Be Me"

~Listen! Do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell? Ooh, closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you~

The Beatles, "Do you want to know a secret?"

~When you say you love me

The world goes still, so still inside

And when you say you love me

For a moment, there's no one else alive~

Josh Groban, "When You Say You Love Me"

~I can only give you love that lasts forever

And a promise to be near each time you call

And the only heart I own, for you and you alone

That's all, that's all~

Michael Bublé, "That's All"

~And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore~

REO Speedwagon, "Can't Fight This Feeling"

~I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?~

Snow Patrol, "Chasing Cars"

~I finally found someone

Someone to share my life

I finally found someone

To be with every night

And whatever I do, it's just got to be you

My life has just begun, I finally found someone~

Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams, "I finally Found Someone"

~Oh my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair, but I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, alright

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away?

When I know I'll come back on my knees some day

For whatever my man is, I am his

Forevermore~

Barbra Streisand, "My Man"

~I don't get many things right the first time

In fact, I am told that alot

Now I know all the wrong turns and stumbles and falls brought me here

And where was I before the day

That I first saw your lovely face?

Now I see it every day

And I know

That I am

I am

I am the luckiest~

Ben Folds, "The Luckiest"

~I'll be the man who will fight for your honor

I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of

We'll live forever

Knowing together

That we did it all for the glory of love~

Chicago, "The Glory of Love"

~And when you say forever

Can't you see

You've already captured me~

Mae, "The Sun and The Moon"

Ahhhh I could think of millions more, but let me now leave you with a brilliant quote....

"Yeah, yeah. I would've asked for your number. And I wouldn't have been able to wait 24 hours before calling you up and saying, Hey, how about... oh, how about some coffee, or drinks, or dinner, or a movie... for as long as we both shall live?"
Tom Hanks as Joe Fox- "You've Got Mail"

Happy Love Day ya'll!

Awww gee....I have to think of a topic for my

psychology paper....nothing comes to mind....lol

We're reading "Raisin in the Sun" in english....it's more depressing than the one about the murderous wife lol.

Josh is on TV twice this week...yay! He sings pretty...<3 hehe.

ooooh I'm going to see Joshua Bell this weekend at the Blumenthal:0). I love Joshua Bell....he plays pretty...

Has anyone ever read "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Hemingway? It's pretty interesting so far...I LOVE Robert Jordan...he is so complex, but at the same time he is very simple...

I love it when Hemingway makes him think to himself for pages and pages...it gives the reader a chance to get into Robert's mind and understand how he thinks, rationalizes, plans, understands, and loves...good stuff.

Ooooh yeah...jeepers....I miss Paul and Ryan lots

25 days....25 days....

It's colder than it ought to be in March
and I still got a day or two ahead of me
till I'll be heading home,
into your arms again.
And the people here are asking after you.
It doesn't make it easier.
It doesn't make it easier to be away.
