What if the answer to it all is not to 'figure it out', with logic and reason, but to think less, and feel more?

Xanga has not been on the top of my priority list lately (obviously). I've spent the majority of my time the last few weeks recovering from the holidays (smile), and preparing for school. We had some fabulous company for New Years, and a few days following, which made for MANY nights of 4 am bedtimes (thanks, girls!)...
 I thought classes started on Tuesday - I went in Monday for orientation, and found out classes for the nursing program don't start until NEXT Tuesday (the 22nd). Hmmm. Extra week to burn here...;) I'm anxious to get started though, so I can get done.
This past weekend we had a bit of a girls get-away - Mom, Chels, Hannah and I. We've been talking about doing this for a while...We wanted to in November, but I couldn't work it out with my school and work schedules. So we finally got around to it this past weekend, and it was such a blast! Spending time just chilling and talking was a wonderful break after all the busy-ness of the last several weeks...
I am no photographer (actually, I can't even take a decent picture), but Chels is pretty good, and she brought her sweet little camera along:


All 4 of us...


My lovely sisters...Hannah (L) and Chelsea...


I think they decided he was my 'latest greatest boyfriend'...haha...


My mom...


And nearby the hotel we were staying at we came across the modeling agency mom used to work for once upon a time. It appears to be closed down now...


3 sisters...

The End.

Let the Worshipers Arise

So, I just got home from work...And checked my e-mail...And had this same survey in my box twice, once from my sister Hannah, and once from a friend.
And at the moment, I'm just about tired enough to actually spend my time filling out a survey. So here it is:


1. What is your occupation? I suppose this means the job by which you obtain your primary source of income...In that case, I'm a waitress. 

2. What color are your socks right now? White, with gray heels. They also have my initials on the bottom in Sharpie marker. At my last job the girls I worked with once saw my socks when I was changing shoes, and thought it was HYSTERICAL that I had my initials written on them. Obviously they don't understand the logistics of living in a huge family, including the fact that you will NOT get your socks back in your own sock drawer if you don't LABEL them as YOURS. Yes, that is why I have my initials on the bottom of my socks.

3. What are you listening to right now? Lord of the Rings II is playing downstairs, and I keep hearing Gollum's voice. A little disturbing...

4. What was the last thing that you ate?  Umm...I'm sure it was at work today...something, sometime...I know there was a veggie tray sitting out that I was munching on...Probably some kind of veggies.

5. Can you drive a stick shift? No. My one attempt at this lasted less than 4 minutes, and was not successful. One certain member of the family owns two stick-shift vehicles...However, the first is a death-trap I would never get into of my own free will, and the other he is quite possessive of, and refuses to let smaller sisters learn in. =I

6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Pink. Nice bright pink!

7.  Last person you spoke to on the phone?  My dad.

8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? I happen to dearly love BOTH the people who sent this to me!

 9. How old are you today? 20.

10. Favorite drink? Coffee.

11. What is your favorite sport to watch? I hate watching sports.

13. Pets? A gray and white cat named Bobo.

14. Favorite food? Fresh strawberries!

15. Last movie you watched? The Bourne Supremacy.

16. Favorite day of the year? ???

17. What do you do to vent anger? Drive too fast, while listening to music too loud. But I also do that while I'm happy...I don't get angry too often, usually I just get stressed. And when I'm stressed I play the piano...

18. What was your favorite toy as a child? I had a whole bunch of these stuffed animal dogs that I loved...

19. What is your favorite, fall or spring? Fall.

20. Hugs or kisses?  Hugs, for now. ;)

21. Cherry or Blueberry? Cherry.

22. Do you want your friends to email you back? N/A.
 
23. Who is most likely to respond? .......

24. Who is least likely to respond? .......

25. Living arrangements? I live at home with my parents and 16 siblings. Check out MyFamily on Facebook! =)

26. When was the last time you cried?  Last night.

27. What is on the floor of your closet?  My laundry hamper.

28. Who is the friend you have had the longest?  My sister Chels.

WHAT HAPPENED TO 29? It's on vacation. make up your own.

30. Favorite smell? Coffee.. s baking...Spring air...

31. What inspires you? Truth...Beauty...God's transforming love at work in people's lives...

32. What are you most afraid of? Spiders and snakes in Africa...Here in the states? Not much...

33. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? I don't really like hamburgers. But I guess cheese. Chels forced me to stop at McDonalds with her a few weeks ago, so she could buy us double-cheeseburgers...Which I didn't want, because they sounded like grease bombs, but ended up being quite tasty. Ok, it's official. Cheeseburgers!

34. Favorite car? VW Jetta.

35. Favorite cat breed? Barn kitties.

36. Number of keys on your key ring? Three...My car key, key to the white van (I have NO idea why I have it, I haven't driven that in months), and a house key.

37. How many years at your current job? Six months.

38. Favorite day of the week? Monday.

39. How many states have you lived in? Two.

40. Favorite holiday? Christmas.
