Tweet This is one of those times I wish would never end and yet am so excited about the end. Two months of highschool left-and my emotions could not be more haywire. On the one hand, I’m totally siked about graduating-moving on, becoming a big college freshman:) (ok..a little puny freshman) but on the other, I am going to miss seeing my friends everyday, I’m gonna miss being around them, laughing with them, crying with them. See, in the fall I will be packing up and heading 4 hours south to attend college. No more two second drives to Angela’s to borrow a shirt..man, I am going to miss them..and…

Future events..
Tweet Have you ever wondered what the future will hold? I suppose if you are a living, breathing human at some point you have pondered what the rest of your life held. Perhaps because graduation and college are getting closer, or because of Adam, or simply the thought of getting older-I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Granted, I am very much enjoying the present-I can’t believe in a few short months I will be 4 hours away from all my dear beloved friends. They are the greatest–I can’t begin to talk of how much I love them. I will miss them something terrible..but I know in each…

On Rainy days I like to..(ec)
Tweet It is a rainy day today. And I’m not much a fan of rainy days-although I have many fond memories associated with them. However, when it is cold and rainy all I want to do is sleep and watch TV. It very much serves as an energy zapper.. I hate running errands in the rain..the constant getting in and out of the car in the rain. But if it is warm and rainy then I love it. Perhaps some of my favorite times are in the summer when it is warm and raining and you can go play in the puddles or run through the raindrops.. (I’ll admit, I’m…

My dream had finally come true..(ec)
Tweet God gave me what I want. Or what I thought I wanted. It was the thing I had dreamed about for so long, and finally it was mine. But now I didn’t want it..I had taken things into my own hands and had determined that I knew better-only to realize that all along God had only wanted the best for me, and wasn’t withholding something from me that I needed. Isn’t that how it always happens? we want something so bad and God finally says, “Ok, you can have it,” and we promptly realize that God did know better and it really wasn’t what we wanted. This is a…

Now back to my senior thesis..:(Amanda

If I had just one snow day..(ec)
Tweet oh man..I would die for a snow day. If I had one right now, I would write my senior thesis and memorize my speech. Those two things need done more then anything, and I just can’t seem to find the time to do them. As it is, right now it is 11:00 p.m. and I still have chemistry homework to do, packing that needs done, 5 verses to memorize, and I would like to watch survivor..but alas, that is not going to happen. So I could really use a snow day. I would also read if I had a snow day. I am in the middle of two different…

Mid-highschool crisis
Tweet So..I’m not middle-aged..but at the beginning of my senior year I decided I wanted to try something new.. now for those of you who know me, you know that I have done that many times so far in my short life of 18 years. (but someday I will devote a post to that..) So in August, I signed up for tumbling classes. I found a place that offered them for older people..but I was still the oldest person by far. While all the other junior high and freshman girls were talking about their latest boyfriend or new make-up..I was talking about college.. yeah, it was a little weird. But…

The greatest lesson I’ve learned this year..(ec)
Tweet Wow-the greatest lesson I’ve learned. That’s a tough one-I don’t honestly know if I can narrow it down to just one lesson. I mean..can you really pick out the greatest lesson you’ve learned. I will give it my best effort. I think the greatest lesson I have learned this year is..(drum roll please:))…trusting God is always best. It may seem like a simple lesson, but too many times this year I have taken things in my own hands and seen great consequences from it. Too many times I have tried to chart my own course, only to end up lost and without a road map. But God has been…

Highschool sweethearts
Tweet Please allow me to be honest for a moment.. I read an article online about some girl who just got engaged to her highschool sweetheart and it put me in a sentimental mood..well, ok-maybe I was already in one, but still..I have always wanted to marry my highschool sweetheart. I have always been fascinated by stories of people who met in highschool and married later on in life. But alas..highschool is almost over and I don’t have a sweetheart-in fact, I don’t even have any options. I was talking to a friend the other night about the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing..and I decided that while I don’t need a boyfriend,…
