It has been far too long! The remainder of my summer was uneventful. It was filled with simply hanging out with my family and close friends and taking in as much of Newtown as I could before coming back to Albany. And now I'm here! Mom and I moved in on Friday. We unloaded the whole car on our own--go us! Miss and I figured out the setup and I ( Read more... )

The past almost two weeks have been pretty uneventful. We went to SOULFEST last weekend and had the best time! I got to see so many groups that I love, but also experienced some new groups and bought some new CDs. Jars of Clay and Audio Adrenaline were awesome, and of course I fell in love with Chris Tomlin all over again...aahh..he's so amazing. ( Read more... )

What can I say...I have officially given into the cellphone craze and have become a cellphone junkie. My dad and I went out yesterday and finally got me a cellphone. I must say, I was pretty excited. Ends up we were able to upgrade to quite a nice phone, and I ended up with a camera phone...uh, booyeah! That was pretty exciting. My mom and I got ( Read more... )

Kelli's home!! YAY! That makes me so happy. The Gardners finally got home on Sunday night and brought Kelli back to us! Lex and I took her out to lunch on Monday after work and then Monday night we had a surprise party for her at Murd's house. She was definitely really surprised and really happy to see everyone, so that made me happy. Sarah got to ( Read more... )

I had the unique experience of juicing a watermellon today. Have you ever juiced a watermellon? I think not! You see, my dad got a juicer some time this year, and he hasn't really used it much because, well, that's what he does. He buys really cool things and then doesn't really use them. But today, he chose to use it and juice an entire ( Read more... )

Well, if I find it hard to update now, I don't know how I'm going to handle it once I'm in school and actually doing real stuff!! It's been a whole lot of nothing around here. Well, that's not true, I lie. Last week was actually the carnival that my church has every year. It's a big deal and everyone in Newtown shows up at least one of the nights. ( Read more... )

I had my first day of work yesterday. Well, it wasn't really work, like teaching, because the kids weren't there, but it was a faculty meeting and then ABA training. Six hours of ABA training! It was long and hot and tiring, but very interesting. ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, and it's the method of teaching that we use with the kids on ( Read more... )

My eyes are bothering me today. I am not completely sold on these contacts yet. The only reason I'm keeping them around is because I really like being able to wear sunglasses. What a shallow reason! I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup and if I still feel like I can't really see...well, maybe he'll be able to do something to fix that ( Read more... )

Aaaaahhh!! I didn't update yesterday to get to tell you all about the exciting thing that I did. Well, here goes. I got contacts! Okay, so maybe that's not as crazy for you guys as it is for me, but it's pretty exciting! I deliberated over this for quite some time because I love my glasses so much and they are such a part of me, I just couldn't see ( Read more... )
