and WOW... 6 years and I believe I have taken my last finals... and honestly I couldn't be happier..now its time to make some money, get married, make more money and then start rotations... thats right.. free labor that costs me 16hrs of SWOSU tuition...

I sent my dad some pics of our wedding shower to email to people, and just now noticed that it said "congratulatulations"..... good times...

so now at 1:11AM its 22 days till we get married, we get to start marriage counseling today and I am really lookin forward to it.  I told Lance (my lil bro) that we were going to start marriage counseling this week, and he asked if we were already having problems.. gave me a chuckle..

God.. I just wanna say thanks for the memories you have blessed me with... thank you for my friends that I cherrish deeply, whom I wouldnt trade for the world, and I mean it. Thank you for leading me through the path that has gotten me where I am today... for the "building me up" to the man I am today.. thank you for the lives you used to make me who I am... Tonight Jesus, I am just THANKFUL...

I wanna be bold this summer, I wanna change lives this summer.. 3 in particular... Jesus, give me strength, words, timing, silence, patience and peace in knowing you will continue to be God...Holy Spirit, fill me with the boldness needed, and release from me the timidity that really is there, under this shell of courage.  I am scared God, in the destiny of people close to me, and I want you to change that.. whether you use Me to do it, or someone else.. I just want to see the change... I am being vulnerable tonight, beat me up and then guide me God, get me totally undignified for you....................

Another Saturday another dollar... that seems to be my motto for Saturdays, the one day a week I work.  I haven't been in 2 weeks because I went to Byron's wedding, and my feet/legs were killing me.  I had a wondering mind today, we were so slowwwwww, anyways, and something I read last night in James 4:7 "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." just sat in my mind....  Do you hear that, READ IT FOR YOURSELF... it can be as easy as that.. just RESIST... so I had a thought or something, actually I don't remember what.. and I knew it was Satan attacking me while I was at work.. I just thought about that verse... "verbally in my head" I said... "I resist you Satan and for that reason you will flee me"... I then thought about it, and really knew that I meant it and believed it, just for the fact that the Bible says so... then I chuckled out loud and honestly guys... I just felt peace right there in that moment.... Wow, I am amazed at the simplicity God has surrounded us with...Again God, thank you for your Word.............Your Word that is; unending, honest, sincere, The Truth, The Light, unfailing, revealing, free, saving, POWERFUL, and from You.  I cant wait to rest in Your Peace.....

OH GOODNESS....It sure has been a while since i wrote you 2..(lol)...but its been a really busy 2 weeks, I totally thought that this week would be a breeze but then came the nightmare of getting some 250+ wedding invitations ready.....and now that is done, so I have to pack to fly to Ohio for my best friend's (Byron's) wedding...

Hey Larissa, I still need a tutorial on putting pics up here, but for the mean time Xanga is offering me a free temporary upgrade, so I am gonna put a few pics on here via the freebie...

I really wish we were gonna have another "Monday Sucks", I have another blessing I want to share.  Well its been getting tight, financially, for me and Denise.  The cost for a wedding is just out of this world, and actually all the finances have been taken care of by me...thanks to the Lord..anyways, so our cash flow has been down and we still have things to pay for, and of course we have been praying that God would help us out....Well He did just that, and met our needs and then some.....a lot of that SOME... She was over here at my house workin on wedding invites, while I was at class, and the phone rang, she didnt answer it... she doesnt live here why should she..So the business office leaves a message saying I have a check I can pick up.. So Denise and I go to get it.  At this time she is bouncin of the walls proclaiming "checks in the mail, debts paid off, interest and income..." It was great..oh yeah I havent told yet.. lol... so I get there and she hands me the check and yeah I could just feel how heavy it was...I looked down at the figure and it was $1600.. thats right ONE THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!  I looked at the date, and it had been there since March 9th... come to find out it was part of my loan check, but I had no idea it was there, and wasnt expecting it either.I just have to thank God for that, over and over and over again... lol...You never cease to amaze me God... Why me?.....and He responds...Why not you?... and I have no answer that would justifiably be any better than the next person's... Thanks so much God, for the little things... and the BIG THINGS too...well until next time.. tooooodaaaaloooooo!!!!

Oh yeah here are a few good pics...

This is one of the best mullets I have seen in a long time...

Guess whose feet???

WOW!!!! Someone is cut like the butcher!!!

PROTECT YO-SELF!!!!  Properly executed coonjab shield, nice position with just the right undercup.

hmmm, I'm beginning to think that I might be able to do this thing (xanga)..I actually look forward to reminding myself what I did all day, and yeah I know I actually havent done it yet, but here goes...

I slept much later than I should have on account of the late night..and also had a dream about not being on time to somewhere just because I didn't want to leave..."That's irony for ya"--With Clean Hands---  So I finally got up and got to movin', took a shower and washed my newly shortened hair..Went to JP at 1:00, got things together to prepare to study for the next 3 days..Went out to the church to tidy up my new office, then had to go get my brother's new truck... sucks b/c it got scrathed and he was really ticked, so I get the pleasure of playing "big brother" and taking it to be fixed...I actually like playing "big brother" now a days, makes me feel like I can still do something for him, even though HE has the new truck and HE makes the big bucks... who am I kidding, I know my time is coming, if nobody will speak it over me, by George I will...Again I went to the church got some studyin done out there and then came home to play some friendly poker with the gang...and again its at the "butt-crack-o-dawn" and I still haven't managed to make it to bed, seems to be a regular thing around here...I actually laughed at myself with Tommy and said "Hey Tommy I'm 24 years old and still stayin up until 3:00AM", you would think that after 6 years of college I would grow out of the late nights..I'll just blame it on Tommy, he has consistently been around me for the full 6 years..jk Tommy...

I think my all-time favorite candy is Gummi-bears... as I eat them now, I honestly can't think off a better treat...they are great as you roll out of bed, anytime during the day and case-and-point, they are good now!!! your vote??Ya see that, I just went back for seconds on the GB's...This one looks like it has a tail, I know I have seen at least a hundred GBs in my time with tails, and still it is funny.. Did you ever eat the head off and then play with it for a second?? I still do..lol....hhhmmmmmm... so its 53 days till I get married, but whose counting?? I am pretty sure she only thinks she is:) lol... fun times!!!

Wow I forgot at SPF (spirit powered freshmen), our college freshmen mentor group, we had a really cool visual lesson, it went really well, one of our freshman headed it up.. I like most of it, just kinda had a problem or maybe a disagree-ance?.. with one thing he said... But I dont know if he meant it the way I heard it??? he seemed to speak of the "once saved always saved" theme, now he didnt say that word for word, but that is kinda what I got out of one part of the lesson...and no I dont have some wise word of knowledge, or even a Bible reference at this time.. but I will have to get lookin I guess...

That brings me to you God, seems I havent been in your word as much as you would like me to be, for that fact not even as much as I want to be......................................silence......................Selah.........................and now its time to go, He calls... I'll try to remember to tell you peeps what I learned tonight... sorry it got so long.. and i laugh, b/c who am I talking to???

Ps 119:105  "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path", now lets put that to action...
