| mae concert...arriving shortly. feelings of anticipation/excitement...arrived.
last night was a girls' night out at the movies. it was so much fun. it reminded me how much i miss nights like those. i think or hope we plan to do it again.
has anyone noticed the sudden incline of temperature?
minnesota was nice. i met new cousins that were not new borns, but like in the toddler age and then in the 30 age. it always reminds me when i go up there that i have a huge family. and i absolutely love it. i went water skiing for the first time in two years, i got up on my 6th try for like 3 whole seconds!
oh north carolina, please give him back?

| soooo i'm back. till friday. and then it's off to minnesota.
virgin islands were definitely a blast with the family. and volleyball camp with daley--whoa. we haven't laughed that hard and long for quite a long time. wow--so there are about a gillion birthdays spread between june and august. casey,bailey,bill,tj,jesse,chase,ajay,karen, and that was written in like 3 seconds flat! just think what would happen in like,,,,,10!
oh, and i like golfed for real for the first time with my parents! it's pretty decent actually.
pics........from the virgins..
the water was like three different blues. it was so,,,pretty. i just wanted to bottle it all up!
that's the infinity pool. pretty nice, eh?
haha. i have no idea why, but that was incredibly funny to me. they also had one that was blue and said, "parking reserved for rabi." haha.
anyways..
IGGY!! so they had all these iguanas running around the resort. and like someone spilt a milkshake under our pool chairs, so like 7 iguanas came charging at it, and were like fighting for it. and then one of the iguanas goes up to the pool edge where there's about twenty people in the pool and just jumps in. it was so funny. wow. hahaha.
more scenic island viewing..there wasn't much activity to do there, but who needs activity with this?
it always amazes me that looking at a license plate from a different state, or country...makes me distracted for a good minute.it's always, wow that's pretty. or hmm...? seriously--when you're on a road trip, and you see a different license plate, you either think up a scenario about the people driving it or just admire the plate.
no, he didn't go to the islands with me..but i decided to leave the post with this. it flashes me back to the days where boys had cooties. hah. this picture never seems to fail it's job in making me smile.
and now it's off to blueberry picking with my mother. as lame as it sounds...it's quite fun.
maybe sometime i'll have one of those posts where everything coordinates with each other..like something meaningful or dedicational...haha. i don't know. i guess everything in a way does coordinate with each other, it's random!
i noticed as i walked home from chase's last night...that all the pine trees seemed to be pointing towards the sky. next time you take a walk by some pine trees at night, see what they're doing.
and on the notation of stars...i was driving home with my dad, and he said, "look up" so i did out of the sun thing. and no joke, i saw a shooting star like 2 seconds later. funny how things work out.

| well. it was only a day past yesterday that i got the chance to hang with mr. chase wesley cohagan at our awesome water park--splash valley. we had a splash of a time. i think chase and i can agree that we're addicted to this tanning oil stuff. It's glumpy, gooey, oily, and all together quite charming. we met up with some pretty elegant people--jesse, daley, joshy, shari. it was a fun afternoon. my cheap six dollar aviators from good ol' farm and fleet seemed to aviate with coolness, but the water did not. strangly, the water at splash valley was unusually warm with many children swimming around. i think that that fact got to the heart of me---i found it quite silly while chaseykins asked me not to mention it, that he hadn't thought about that fact until i brought it up. then chase and i played like the children we are in the huge beach of sand they have...the sand pit. we decided to take jesse's flip flops, get them all sandy and wet. Yeah, i don't think i've met a person that has liked that feeling to this moment. the afternoon came to an end like many do.
so. mission trip. monday. the anticipation is like waiting for that puff of air you get to measure the pressure of your eyes or such..it's always that feeling of, "when? when?" and although i could say, well mission trip is monday at 5:30...that doesn't seem to end my anticipation. physced--for sure. i actually found two one-pieces that i can say i'm on great terms with. my mom, jen, and i were at michaels...to get crafty stuff for the fourth of july for a barbecue...and i wanted to get my coloring books for the trip. then, my mom found the most random, awesome, exciting thing i think she's found in quite the while--door hangers! foamy door hangers with sticker foam shapes of like God stuff...and then just alphabet letters! so anyone up to make those on the bus ride?
Oh mission trip, are you ready for me?
"Failure at Attempt"
I tried to play the song
but it didn't sound quite right.
The notes didn't flow as
they were intended to go
so i sit her so quietly
trying to think of meaningful,
memorable lyrics yet i find
my mind focused on the song I
couldn't perfect because it
didn't sound quite right,
no-it didn't sound quite right.
My fingers just couldn't
race at that speed,
instead they simply waltzed
over the keys.
And as they were gracefully dancing away,
I realized that my song had yet to be played. | | |
| so. life is totally random. but when is it not? you know...you can say nothing's new..but there's always something, always. and yet summer still doesn't feel like summer. i mean, sure the weather does..but not the hanging out and staying out late at night, just because we felt like it. but then again...maybe i truly am experiencing summer, but perhaps i haven't taken the time to notice it.
so for awhile...church was like---eh. and then we had this awesome guest speaker. he talked about..quafing the elixar. (drinking continuously and heartily--*in God's spirit.) he said...every morning he would go down by the Kankakee river and read the Bible and pray..and that if he didn't, his entire day was messed up. He said he asked God to speak to him through his word...and he said sometime that God would answer. so i tried it. and i just randomly flipped open to Psalms...and it was about drinking continuously from God. no, it wasn't the same passage this guest spoke from..but how strange is that! i mean--i didn't really think it would happen like that..but it was so, true and aweing. ::
Psalms 42: 1-3
A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek; I want to drink God, deep draughts of God. I'm thirsty for God-alive. I wonder, "will i ever make it-arrive and drink in God's presence?" I'm on a diet of tears- tears for breakfast, tears for supper. All daylong people knock at my door, pestering, "where is this God of yours?"
this continues on till Psalms 42: 1-11 if interested. it really it neat if you get a chance to read it..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and now, on a more random...type--
*softball started...=yey. game tonight at 6 if you want to come. we are...the green team.
*so i thought i was getting better with this whole summer cold thing..turns out i only continue to get worse.
*oh--had my first tennis lesson tuesday. wow--i'm horribly funny. eh-oh well.
*so yesterday. i call this girl up, and am like, "you wanna go to dq?" immediately...she says yeah. after all the times i've been too busy with sports and stuff to not be able to hang out with her and the others...she still says yeah. people continue to amaze me. so we went, and we didn't talk about anything too serious. but it was just so, fun and classicly girly. i got an oreo blizzard...which of course was thrown away half eaten, or half non-eaten.
*starting work next week at dq.
and this probably goes into the world records of longest post ever..but hey--it's summer, right? and i've got all the time in the world. | | |
