Summer is 3 days away...for me at least!!!

Not much to report but that I am ready for summer....though I have to leave a certain someone for 4 months and get use to not seeing him everyday...puts a bit of a damper on summer. I have one year left of college. Oh my goodness! Thats scary. The years have flown by!

Well...to all in Tulsa...I will be seeing you in a few days! Rock on with that! Love you all!

Question: would you still like me if i had three arms?..I know....it is a highly intellectual question...thats what I get from college

Holla!! How is everyone??

So this past weekend was Easter break and boy was it a wonderful break!

I went down to Houston on Thursday to chill with my mom and stepdad and Gary went with me. We had an awesome break. It was a faith building weekend for the both of us. God really took care of the both of us. We left the school and on the way down to H-town my Jeep decided t quit running. We changed the fuse and it still didnt start up. So we literally laid fingers on the next fuse and prayed that God would send us a miracle and start my Jeep. Well..to no surprise God answers prayers and the Jeep started right up! We then prayed that God would get us safely to Houston and we drove the rest of the way with no trouble!

On Friday Gary and I went to the beach with another couple from school. We had a great time and once again God protected us. While Gary and I were swimming we saw a jellyfish but got away a little to slow. The jellyfish got both of us on the arms, legs, and sides. We swam back to shore and prayed that God would bring healing to our bodies and sure enough...once again with no surprise.....the next day Gary and I were back to normal with no problems.

The rest of the weekend held even more blessings from God that just amazed us. It was awesome to be able to experience so much of God's love this weekend...especially since it was on Easter weekend. God deserves all the glory that came these past few days. He is an amazing God!!!

and oh....by the way...my Jeep is still running. My prayer this year has been to see miracles happen in my life...and when my eyes are open to the little things around me....I can truly see the miracles that God performs in my life.

Holla for spring break!.....I only have one more spring break left after this....after that I will be done with school...and will have to enter into the real world of "no more spring breaks" ....unless I get my masters degree..woohoo for that!

I am now in Tulsa for the rest of the break....so far I have gone to Houston...went to the Maroon 5 concert...went to the beach and got pooped on by a seagull....chilled with mom...flew to Tulsa...having quality family time....and Im well on my way to more quality family time. Next week holds a Switchfoot and Rascal Flatts concert. Rock on for that!

I hope that all of you are having a marvelous week! Give me updates if there is anything new going on in life...oh...something I havent done in a while...

QUESTION of the day...........

Would you rather slide down a slide of razorblades or slide down a wood board full of splinters?

Good "start of the week" afternoon! It is getting closer to spring break and I couldnt be more excited!

To all of you who threw ideas at me about the clues....you guys rock! You made me laugh a lot! I will send a special shout out to Daniel for being so stinkn smart! You totally deserve that shout out! Props to you man! The gift was.....this may sound corny but I absolutely loved it...i have been wanting them for a long time...jsut couldnt afford it...okay..so here goes...the clues were tied to C.S. Lewis books. I love C.S.Lewis' stuff. He got me all the chronicles and three other of Lewis' books. I really loved the present. So thats what the clues had to do with...the titles.

My birthday was great. As I sat in the restaurant on Friday night, it hit me. I am 21 and I can officially buy alcoholic beverages. That is so weird to me! Not that I would....but it is crazy that I can just whip out my I.D. and purchase it. It was a revelation to me....me turning 21 serves no true purpose for me since i dont drink(except water) and I dont really want to become an adult yet. I am 21 and Im shocked!

This is T.W.I.R.P. week! Woohoo! It stands for The Woman Is Required to Pay. Myself and 5 other girl-friends are "twirping" this week. I will let you know the details of that later. Lets just say it involves something like the amazing race! The guys will have fun. I love you all!

So I thought it was about time to do 2 things....1.)change my pic ..and...2.)change my entry.

School has started and I am now learning about sex in my 8am tues/thurs class for my Human Sexuality class. Im not a morning person and i really dont enjoy 8 o'clocks, especially when i am learning about sex. WOW. Not to mention the fact that I have two classes after that and those classes both involve talking about sex. Sex is not a dirty word by the way.WOW

My training for soccer try-outs began two weeks ago and it has been amazing. I am now running 3 miles without stopping and lifting weights. I am only drinking water and juice and it has been going great. Im currently working on my running time. I ran a 8 minute mile yesterday and im working to get it to 6minutes eventually. I run every other day and lift in between so it has been splendid thus far. My friend Gary has been "training" me so we have had a ton of fun. Hopefuly when soccer try-outs come around for next fall i will be ready!

Well I hope that everyone is doing well with life. Oh...exciting news..speaking about exciting...my dad is one of the guys helping on a house for the show Extreme MakeOver Home Edition! They are doing it in Oklahoma and my dad is helping them with wiring and building the house. So guess who might get Ty's john handcock???....oh thats right!...I get that hot stud muffins signature! I told my dad to tell Ty that I think he is amazing...not to mention his abs. Anyways...now that I am done picturing Ty's abs...(hey...im not gonna lie..i was picturing them)...I am gonna jet. You all have a wonderful week. I love you all!

So im sitting in a coffee shop, sipping a smoothie bc i didnt feel like drinking coffee tonight. That is my current position as I type.

I go back to the 'GU a week from today. I look forward to seeing friends but I dread the school work. Yet what is college truly all about?

So what do you think about this......picture me going to Australia this summer to take on the internship of a lifetime! It would be a miracle of God if I had the blessing of working with Hillsong as an intern for the summer. Who knows what God wants to do with me this summer. I look forward to finding out!

At this point in life I am discovering what it is to mature into a life of listening to the direction that God has placed on my heart even when people I love want me to take a safer road. Im not saying that it isnt important to listen to the people closest to you when they warn you about things that can hurt you. What im talking about is the fact that no matter the discouragement that people bring to me I still know what God has told me and placed on my heart, and I have to hold on to that with all my strength. I say that to encourage those who may be struggling with what God has layed on their hearts......If God has spoken to you and layed something or someone on your heart....then dont let go of that....God will give you peace and strength to take on what He has placed on your heart....even when it isnt the safest road and people dont understand. God called you for a purpose and what He has laid on your heart is meant for you to accomplish even when it may happen a long time from now. Wait for His perfect timing. Next week is going to come no matter what...so you might as well wait on God and live everyday waiting for Him to tell you to take that next step in His direction.

Have a great week guys and girls!! I love you all!

My deepest apologies for the lack of updating! I hope you all forgive me!

Have you ever looked forward to a christmas break away from all the hecktic ways of life only to come home and have more heck added to your world? .....just wondering.

So i want to send a shout out apologie to Pastor Jason Davis for my lack of reversal skills when operating a hot red machine that happen to collide with his sleek silver machine. After all the tears from that....I still feel retarded for hitting a parked car! So i am posting this on facebook just to let out that last bit of "sorriness".

Anybody have any clue as to what I am suppose to do next summer? .....me neither!!! wow!!! We have something in common!

Well after all of that negative wordage...I will end with this..........if you can wear a tomdawe hat and pull off the look....then do it!......if you can play phone pranks on people using a retarded voice whe you are above the age of 20...then do it!....if you can rap like a white girl and dance in the car with one of your close friends...then do it!....and if you can hit a taxi cab in New York City and get away with it by yelling at a loco cab driver even when your license has expired....then do it!...I love you all!

I have one word for tulsa............snow

I have one word for waxahachie(thats where my school is, incase you didnt know)........................ICE

So the delivery of ice last night left the grass, sidewalks, and streets a glimmering white. I walked in the crunchy grass this morning in order to avoid the embarrassment of falling on my butt on the sidewalks....of course some are not as bright as I and decided to prove themselves as the dull crayon in the box, which led to falling, running into walls, and taking rides down stairs only to find themselves hurting after it all. I wish I had been in the beloved town of Tulsa making snow angels instead of scratching up my arms against the rock hard ice...no..i really didnt do that.

So it is coming to the end of the semester.....God is good..all the time....and all the time.....you can finish the rest!....I will be home on Tuesday and I am counting the days until then. I cant wait to see you all! Have a wonderful week, make a snowball, hit someone with it, and then dedicate it to me! You guys rock my world! I love you all!
