The other day I had the pleasure of running into a Miss Katie in Starbucks. She was in a hurry to get to work, but we had a few super sonic moments to catch up. We were both shocked to realize that TWO WHOLE YEARS have passed since we graduated high school and there are many people who I have not spoken to since.  It never ceases to amaze me how  ( Read more... )

Well, I haven't been on this thing in ages and I figure it's time for an update. Well, considering no one reads this damn thing, I guess I'll just reflect for my own purposes. What can it hurt, right? I feel like writing is always something I have enjoyed, but rarely dedicate enough time to. Well, that is, of course, pleasure writing. This last ( Read more... )

A lot has been going on. All around me people are caught up in the holidays and seeing friends and family and finding that "perfect gift." I haven't been completely sucked into it but a lot has been going on in my head.  So much to think about!  I've been in a writing mood so I figured a blog might organize it all.

First off. Things with Matt have ( Read more... )

I realize this blog has fallen victim to "I'm sure no one cares to read this" syndrome, but it's been awhile and so I suppose giving an update on life is in need.  Life is, well, completely amazing. I can't remember a time when I've been happier, more alive, more sure of myself, more in love. And it all completely blows my mind.  To just feel like ( Read more... )

With only one day between now and the time I depart for my sophomore year at JMU, I've been reflecting on a summer, which seems to have not only started a short while ago, but was also filled with all sorts of new and exciting things. It was a summer that was slow in all the right places, and fast in others. I learned a lot. I further grew into the ( Read more... )

I've been so busy with summer lately that I hadn't had a chance to tell you few readers of mine about something that really matters. Something life changing. Something that I hope that in me telling you, you will be inspired to find ways to help the poor in your own way. I went on a Missions Awareness Trip through the Christian Foundation for ( Read more... )

The family expedition to West VA was spectacular for the most part. We rented a cabin. We white water rafted. We hiked. We rock climbed. We road horses. We jumped off large cliffs into the lake. We exceeded the speed limit in a fishing boat. We burned s'mores and created mushroom clouds at the campfire with the addition of citranella.  We ventured ( Read more... )

The last few days have me convinced that God works in mysterious ways. A fresh start was what I was needing and it seems that I have been given one with deep blue-ish green eyes.

In other news, I've been working out cello parts to a few songs. It makes me happy. 
That is all. =]  

Tonight I went out with some of my Catholic buddies and hung out at St. Thomas Moore's Cathedral with one of the cool young deacons there. It was kinda nice to get out and do something like that because I don't really hang out with the people from my Church. It's always been a little awkward because they're all super devout Catholics and have known ( Read more... )

I've come to realize that often what hurts the most is wanting what you can't have.

In other news, go see Knocked Up if you're in need of a laugh. I saw it tonight with Kyle [Man! It was great to see him again!!!!] and it was hilarious.
