| Hey! Look, I'm updating again within the month, within the week even! This is amazing! This has got to be a new record for me! So, I'm in Georgia at my best friend Shannikin's house with my little sissy Sloany and Shannikin's boyfriend, Jesse. Shannikin's here too of course. We're watching Finding Nemo. It's a great movie! I haven't seen it in forever. It's funny! We drove down yesterday after classes and went to Vanessa's house where she fixed us a yummy in my tummy dinner. We sat on her couch and watched the premier of High School Musical 2!!! It was amazing!! Wow! I loved that movie. The best scene was the baseball scene but my favorite was Troy's scene where he dances on the golf course in his black clothes and then finds himself again Lion King style in his reflection from the pond. Amazing! Most def!! We had a good ol' time. We went out to Waffle House and had a wonderful time with Shannikin's little sis Autumn who is one amazing human being! Today we slept in till about 12 then had a cookout at about 2. It was delicious. We went to see Bourne Ultimatum later today and I loved it! It was a great movie. The ending was one of the best I've ever seen. Absoultely! We came home after that and I went to sleep while the others went to Shannikin's friend's house to play volleyball. I was so tired, I took a wonderful 4 hour nap! It was great! I'm happy and pretty hyper now! I guess the Mountain Dew I drank didn't help much. I'm not used to mountain dew. haha...anywho...so we've been watching TV and movies since they came back. I like actually resting on the weekend. It's a pretty new experience for me. It's not that bad. Actually, I rather enjoy it. Ok, I'm gonna get back to my movie now. Adios, love ya! | | |
| Well, once again, it's been about...forever...since I last updated! And I've also realized that my picture is about 2 years old. so...
The summer was amazing! I took a trip to Turkey and had an amazing time over there. We took care of some wonderful kids and saw some gorgeous sites. Camp was amazing as always! High school week I met my little sister Sloany who is a wonderful beautiful girl! I love her to death! We've been hanging out a lot and she's going to Georgia with Shannikin Jesse and me this weekend! I had a bunch of other absolutely amazing girls throughout the summer. My favorite week was once again 6-8 grade although 5-7 was a close second, and high school week wasn't far behind. They're just all good! The last week was Young Adult and it was fun as always! This year I actually got to participate in stuff instead of having to go to volleyball practice and camp everyday. That was a new plus! It was so sad to leave all those wonderful people that I had come to love so much! We had so many fun times together and it didn't seem long enough! Now, I'm at NGU!!! Woot Woot! It is more than I ever could have imagined! God is moving here and it is breath taking! We had the stadium crusade the past few nights and last night God filled the football field with people giving their lives over to him! Tonight at BSU the chapel was full of people standing up and saying "I surrender all" and "I commit to His church" and really meaning it! I've met some amazing people! These friends are some of the best that I've ever had, already! It's so funny because I feel like I have more friends here already than I ever did in high school! It's great! My roommate is Jordan and Shannikin is my suitemate and our good friend from downstairs is Kristin. The four of us are pretty much inseparable! I love them so much! I don't think I've ever laughed as much in one year as I have laughed in these few days that I've been here. Everyone is so funny! They are all gifts from God because I love to laugh! My classes are great and I'm actually rather interested in the majority of them so that's pretty cool! We have already seen God provide in some amazing ways! Read Shannikin's xanga for more info. Basically...I totally know that this is where God wants me and that is the most amazing thing ever! Praise Jesus! He is the absolute best ever!!!

Anywho...I am no longer a Senior 07. I am a graduate of 07!!! I graduated on Saturday and went straight down to Charleston with my best friends! We had a wonderful time! lots of beach sun and shopping, not to mention FOOD! Yeah, we filled up while we were down there! we had a girls night one night and just layed around in the room and ate funfetti frosting and dark chocolate m&ms! It was amazing! We had a good ol time! Now I'm home, it's nice to be home, even though I love Charleston so much! I'm so...excited about this summer! I can't wait! It's going to knock our socks off! Well, I need to go to bed now to prepare myself for it. Love ya! thanks for reading!

| So, this past weekend was Disciple Now at my chruch AND Spring Adventure at camp. I had a choice to make. I could go to DNow and have an amazing time learning the word, worshiping, and spending time with the wonderful people at my church and the really cool leaders that came down from Liberty. Or, I could go to camp and give give give and get extremely exhausted taking care of a bunch of little kids. I chose the little kids! And I would not change it for anything in the world! It was absolutely amazing! I counseled with Shannikin and we had 6 beautiful and wonderful girls who ranged from 6-10 years old. We had so much fun! We did some canoeing and played bunches of games and ate some really good food and chilled in the dorm and played guitar and learned about the Isrealites' years in the desert. It was wonderful! I was right about the exhausted part...the first night we could not get the girls to go to sleep for anything, at least one says she was up till 2 in the morning, but i was out before then. The second night I woke up at 3 to a little girl whispering my name because she had just thrown up in bed. I didn't go back to bed till 4 after taking her the the nurse, having the poor thing throw up again, and cleaning it up in the dorm. And our days were full of activity! So I am very weak now but I was given so much love this weekend it doesn't even matter. I love counseling because the kids love you no matter what! At school I feel alone most of the time, I don't ever feel like people care about me, if they see me at all. I'm not looking for sympathy, because I don't need it! Those kids gave me all the love I need for at least another week! They don't care what you look like, they don't care if you get upset at them and they forget within the hour, they don't care how you act and even like it better when you act like a dork (which is good for me). Not quite like high schoolers. Teenagers judge you on everything about you. I thank God so much for letting me experience it and blessing me so greatly through it (not for it!) Praise God! <><

| Ya know what I hate...It seems like people are always complaining about people being fake. They talk about how people put on a mask when they're upset about something and don't let anyone know it. We read a poem in English the other day called "Not Waving but Drowning." It's about a guy who everybody thought was just going on having a good time or whatever but really was dying on the inside. We talked about how often we all do that. We put on a smile to make everyone think that we're perfectly fine. I hear a lot of people saying be yourself, don't wear that mask. Ok, those people have obviously never tried to take their own masks off. I do wear my feeling on my sleeve a lot, if I'm tired or upset about something everyone is going to know it. I'm sorry, sometimes I just don't feel like I have the strength to smile. I was under the impression that people wanted others to take off their masks. Not true. People want people to smile and not rock the boat. People get scared I think when they see someone who doesn't look happy. They don't care why they're not happy or what they can do to help. They just see the person and stay away. No one asks "How are you? What's going on?" They just say, "Why don't you smile more?" If they say anything at all. Chances are better that they'll go talk about you to someone else and tell them you're really upset about something when they have no earthly idea what's going on because they haven't cared enough to ask...Sorry, that was kinda depressing. But I'm guessing that no one really cares enough to read this anyway. hahaha...so...Jesus loves you! And if you cared enough to read this, thank you! You don't apply to all that that I wrote about. I love you!
