So tomorrow, bright and early, my mom and I are heading south :) I was going to get a ride w/ Karen and Jose, but my mom is just going to drive down with me. This way I can be sure to get everything across the state in one load and she can take a bit of a break back in the good old 757!!! I'll be in Radford at least Wed night/Thurs morning...and ( Read more... )

Up until oh, midnight Christmas morning I didn't feel like it was Christmas. I was kind of in an angry place. But then at Midnight Mass..it just all melted away. Happy Birthday Jesus!

I had written a long summary of the weekend. But my mouse was being odd and I accidentally deleted it. So instead I'll leave it at this - God is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! It's hard for me to think of a time when I've been happier than this weekend, and it's all because I could feel how strongly being at St. Matt's is my vocation right now. I still can't ( Read more... )

Yes. I have just been hanging out here quite a bit. I guess I'm just soaking up the "fun" while I can. I had the most amazing nap today. It was beautiful. I was woken up a few times, but it was still great. I needed the rest. I'm still at peace...

How many times do we give something (or someone) up because we're holding out for a dream? Does that dream protect us from getting hurt by things that aren't meant to be...or does it keep what is better than the dream from coming true?

I've realized something. I've been extreemly selfish this semester. It's been so much about what I want and getting my life together... and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the times I know I've put myself first ( Read more... )

I'm seriously going to have a killer few weeks coming up. I'm trying to stay calm and collected and not freak out, but it's just going to be really hard and I'm already starting to lose it. Last night I couldn't sleep and stayed up practicing in bed until 2 when I couldn't keep my eyes open...when I put the guitar down, I couldn't make myself stop ( Read more... )
