So I haven’t done this in a while. I had every intention of blogging my summer, but I ended up journaling it more. I just find peace in journaling and writing out all my thoughts. I guess this is a journal, just in web form…hmm…the things I ponder..

My summer was amazing! I met some truly awesome people and found myself a God who can do some wonderful things. I had known He was there all along, I just found a closer relationship than I ever have before. Everything I do now is for Him and it is so awesome.

Looking forward to this semester..should be a good one. It has the potential to drive me crazy if I let it, but I don’t plan on it. Plus, fall break should be great :) that’s all I’m sayin…

Well, I should probably go to bed because I have church tomorrow, but be on the lookout for more of these to come soon.

Well camp teams have started and it is a blast! The first week was totally awesome :) We were in Temple, GA at a camp called Woodlands Christian Camp. The kids were awesome and we met a lot of great people.

Stay tuned for more :)

PS- I also have a boyfriend now :)

I say yes to that. We received about 4 inches (that may be an exaggeration but I’m bad at estimating) of snow and it was wonderful!!

The fun started on Friday night when Emily bloom and I threw snowballs at people’s windows. This turned into a MAJOR snowball fight outside of Webb hall. That’s was a lot of fun.

The next day, a few of us decide we want to build a snow fort. When we get out there, we realize the snow is too icy to pack so we decide to go sledding. We all went down once then Jacob and Tommy decide to take it off a 4 ft ledge. This ends in Tommy going to the hospital because he broke his ankle.

That night, Emily, Hallie, and I go sledding with some of emily’s friend from ETSU. We went to Pine Oaks Golf course whcih has two big hills. It was a lot of fun and no one got seriously hurt.

All in all, it was a good weekend of forgetting about school and just relax and have a good time with some friends.

I’m not sure if I want to go to class…no take that back, I’m SURE I’m don’t but do I NEED to go? This week has draaaaagggggggeeeeeedddd and I’m so tired…so should I?

Great song…I highly recommend it ladies!!

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
Give me your life, the lust and the lies
The past you’re afraid I might see
You’ve been runnin away from me

You’re my beloved, lover I’m yours
Death shall not part us, it’s you I died for
For better or worse, forever we’ll be
My love, it unites us; and it binds you to me
It’s a mystery

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
I’m the giver of life, I’ll clothe you in white
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh come runnin home to me, yeah now

You’re my beloved, lover I’m yours
Death shall not part us, it’s you I died for
For better or worse, forever we’ll be
My love, it unites us; and it binds you to me

You’ve been a mistress, my wife
You’re chasing lovers who won’t satisfy
Won’t you let me make you my bride
You’ll drink of my lips, and you will taste new life

You’re my beloved, lover I’m yours
Death shall not part us, it’s you I died for
For better or worse, forever we’ll be
Our love it unites us, and it binds you to me
It’s a mystery

I’m not surprised not everything lasts
I’ve broke my heart so many times
I stop keepin track
Talked myself in, I talk myself out,
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I’ve tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought I thought of every possibility

And I know someday it’ll all work out
You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I’ll give so much more than I get
I just haven’t met you yet

Mmmmm ….

I might have to wait I’ll never give up
I guess it’s half timing and the other half’s luck
Wherever you are, whenever it’s right
You come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we could be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Mmmmm ……

And somehow I know that it will all turn out
And you’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid I’ll give so much more than I get
I just haven’t met you yet

They say all’s fair in love and war
But I won’t need to fight it
We’ll get it right and we’ll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me 
And now I can see every possibility

Mmmm …..

And someday I know it’ll all turn out
And I’ll work to work it out
Promise you kid I’ll give more than I get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh you know it’ll all turn out
And you’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah I just haven’t met you yet

I just haven’t met you yet
Oh promise you kid
To give so much more than I get

I said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love …..
I just haven’t met you yet
Love Love Love …..
I just haven’t met you yet

If you ever rent a vehicle for a roadtrip, take into consideration who is going with you. When we go to take me back to school, we usually rent a vehicle, just because we own two gas hogs and rental cars are fairly cheap. My mom is usually the only to come get me or take me back. When we go we get a small vehicle, usually a “bullet” (dodge caliber…if you are not hallie or I, you would not understand the bullet reference ;] ) but one time we got a pontiac vibe. All fairly small cars, but it works cause we are relatively small people.

Now, for this next part, you have to understand that my dad is a not by any means a small man. He is large, not huge, but built. So when we he comes with us, we need a larger vehicle because he is a larger man.

So, as usual, my mom decided to rent a vehicle today to take me back to school. The rental company has half price rentals on the weekend so we decided to “upgrade” from a compact to an intermediate vehicle. You’d think since we “upgraded,” the car would be bigger. It’s not.

We got a ford focus. A tiny little car. When my dad got in, his head was rubbing the ceiling. He had to put his seat all the way back and all the way down to have enough room.

So all in all, the moral of this story is to be considerate to the people who are riding with you in a rental car. :)

This break was much needed. First semester went by so slow, I was ready for it to be over with.

Everything went pretty well. I got the car when I wanted and got to spend a lot of time chillin at home (this got boring sometimes, but looking back it was nice).

I did have a couple bumps in the road here recently. If you know me, I like my stuff not to be touched. I don’t care if you ask permission to borrow my stuff, just respect my stuff. Well, my sister took my headband. Now, I know this may seem insignificant, but please see above statement (plus it was brand new). So when I ask her to give it back, she straight up lies to me and says it’s hers. I flip out. I knew it was mine, even my middle sister knew it was mine. She gave it back, but I was still a little bitter. Now again, if you know me, I have certain pieces of jewelry I always wear, and if said jewelry is not on, I feel all weird like a piece of clothing is missing. So one of my rings was missing so I asked my sister what she did with it. When she replied “why should I know?” I replied “I don’t know, because you have a tendency to steal things.” My mom did not like this…and I got sent to my room.

Now here is where I have to stop the story. I am almost 20 years old. In 7 months, I will be. So being sent to my room seem sort of a weird punishment. But I just put on my iPod and everything was alright in my world.

So mom was mad at me. That day was New Year’s Eve, so we went to my aunt’s that night. Mom was still mad, but she was that polite mad where she wants me to know she’s still mad at me, but doesn’t want other people to know. So that’s how I rung in the New Year.

But eventually, mom got over herself and now we’re just like usual. But this gave me a different perspective. See, when my mom came in to tell me “I could come out now” (I know, I know…) she told me that if I pulled a stunt like that again, I wouldn’t be living there anymore. I finally realized that I had grown up. I was not the same person I used to be and I loved it! I don’t really want to live in this house anymore (but I’m going to cause it’s free and convenient) but the moment I find something I can afford, I’m out.

It’s not wonder I wanted this job so bad…if I barely made a month, wonder what three months would be like…

I got a wii for christmas. It’s ridiculously fun. The downfall? I’m only home for two more weeks then maybe two weeks after that…So yea, my sisters get to enjoy OUR christmas present while I study for my classes and have a ridiculously hard semester that could probably use a few breaks with a wii. But oh well…

I had a great Christmas this year. Lots of good stuff and spending time with my family. How did yours go?
