Any new year is filled with so much possibility…it’s intimidating, to say the least. Even now, this New Year has presented a hope filled, fear ridden opportunity. I already have obstacles to overcome or submit to, chances to take or ignore, and decisions to make or evade. It’s stressful! I don’t know if I’m being pushed from behind, pulled from ( Read more... )

Hey Guys!
    Since it is the Christmas season, and since we are fortunate, I'd like to encourage you to help out the people in South East Asia. If you want to help, I know here there are churches and things that are taking offerings and donations to aid the people affected by the Tsunami. Here are some places you can donate online, though.

Christmas night, Jon came back into town. I met up with him and his friend John, and we rented some movies and ate at IHOP (the only place open...even Walmart was closed). We watched movies and hung out until the wee hours of the morning, then I had to go home, take a quick nap, then rush off to church. Church part one was boring, and church ( Read more... )

Even though outside doesn't smell like freezer burn anymore, there is, technically, still snow on the ground. So, my wish for a white Christmas came true. I suppose the snow is an omen, marking the most unfamiliar Christmas that my family has ever seen. It’s strange in the sense that it’s been lonely. My parents’ insistence on spending our ( Read more... )

OMG!! So I went to Alabama (I didn't get to spend any time there at all. What little time I was there, I was stuck with family...UGH!) but when I came back, there was snow all over the place! It was great. And days later, it's still (barely) there. It's so cool seeing snow on Christmas. Apparantly Mobile will have a white Christmas. I'm jealous ( Read more... )

Last night was so much fun! MaiTai and I got a large group of people together and played hide-n-go-seek around campus. (The horse statue was base.) The weather was perfect for it, only a little bit chilly. Everyone took a nice break from finals to act childish and free. Bryan played too, which gave him an opportunity to meet the people in his ( Read more... )

Man, yesterday was great! I went to practice yesterday, and we got new shoes!! I got a really pretty blue pair of Brooks spikes, and a really comfy pair of Nikes (even though they aren't sponsoring us). They are soooo much more comfortable than the brooks shoes we ran in during cross-country. Bonnie and I got the Nikes, and the rest of the ( Read more... )

I hate the sinking feeling you get before things start to get bad. I seriously doubt I'm going to be immersed in troubles (I'm probably just exaggerating, it’s not like God’s plaguing me or anything), but it does look like things will get exciting in a little bit. Stress from exams and the Holiday season are the likely culprits for the drama that ( Read more... )
