to you:

first off. i love you. beyond anything i could ever imagine. there is this connection between us that is inevitable. we are two people that have come together and made each other blissfully happy. i've never smiled this much. it's the little things that make everything worthwhile. when i have to drive 20 minutes to see you for 5. it's worth it. just to see you smile at me and give me a kiss.
you know. i believe that everyone has a soulmate. one specific person that they are meant to spend the rest of forever with. and i believe that you can find that one person at any age. and yes. it is going to be so hard. waiting that long. but it's worth it to spend forever in your arms. and i know that our lives together aren't always going to be perfect. but. wedding vows say for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. and whatever life throws at us, i know we'll be able to make it through.
and i think its everyone telling us that its not possible that makes me just, have a drive to prove them wrong. that our love is real and its strong enough to withstand.
your the first person i've told that i loved and meant it like this.
and we can make it.
i know we can.
just remember, no matter what.
i love you.
really and truly.
without a doubt.
with all my heart.
and you are amazing.
i am truly lucky to have you in my life.

all my love
<3

--God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Look at His beauty:

My FAMILY!!! Even though my brudda can drive me nuts!

FRIENDS!!!!

My moccassins and hat!!!

Taking pictures!

STARBUCKS!

Mmm, yes.

I'm engaged.

Smile for me.

I know i'm gonna get crap for this but....HARRY POTTER IS A FLIPPIN RETARDED MOVIE!

So me, Meredith, Abi, and John went to see the new harry potter. Keep in mind that Abi and John are Harry Potter fans...Meredith and I are not. Mere and I kept telling each other that we should go see walk the line, and we almost left a couple of times. But we decided to stick it out and suffer through...for what reason I really don't know lol. We had fun anyway though. But anyway, I hear walk the line is an incredible movie. So i'm gonna go see it this week over the break probably. Hope u guy had a great weekend! Only 2 days left untill Thanksgiving break.

~Garrett

hey! i cant wait till thanksgiving break...2 more days!!
i love thanksgiving food! its the Best.

Today is so boring

for those of yall who dont know, i have two brothers. but i also have two sisters, and their twins. i love em to death.

i've known amy and rachel for it seems like forever. their like sisters to me. i saw amy today and it made me so happy. i cant wait till i get to go home and spend some time with them. it always seemed like when i needed someone to talk to while at school, they were there. they were there when i didnt need someone. not only have i gone to school with them forever, i've gone to church with them too. if it wasnt for them, i would be crazy right now. i wish they were up here with me, but then again i could be down there with them.

i was doing laundry today, and the machine apparently didnt have a spin cycle and my clothes were dripping wet, so i rung them out in the trash can. ya, thats right, the trash can. think about that for a second.

i found this quote: "Sarcasm is jelousy in in bold disuise." ~ Gary B. Wright.  i didnt have to think about this at all to realize that this guy was right. but i remembered back to when i used to be really sarcastic, and then it clicked. when i started to like me for me, i stopped being sarcastic, so it is the truth, or at least it is for me.

piece

driving = need a LOT more practice...

phone = destroyed...i can still make calls, but my screen is gone... *insert sad face* (and i NEED to call courtney k.!!! ahh!!)

life = pretty good...

church = amazing...today god answered so many questions going on in my mind and gave me reasons why i was going through what i am going through...god is so amazing...

that's about it...
mucho love!!

Here are a few photos from our trip to Vermont... everyone is out skiing today. I decided to stay in, and thus needed something to do, such as uploding photos to PhuseBox. I guess more will come as the trip progresses. Fun. fun.



We went bowling... and I have extremely long fingers. :-(


just hanging out


Todd and Sidney... they are my family this week

Todd and I face off...

The Gallery Church Staff


Hope you are enjoying your week!

-nt

this season is meant for me.

have you ever had a moment in your life when everything just seems right and that single moment can make you so happy that it can put a tear in your eye?

yeah. i had that kind of moment.

it's only the best feeling in the world, to have all the windows down in the winter with the heat on full blast on your feet. i had on his hat, like i usually do when we ride with the windows down. it's a habit. i love it. the sun was perfect and the leaves were everywhere... green, red, orange, brown, and yellow every little corner of your eye view. the allman brothers are just perfect for this breath-taking season. and what brings a tear to your eye, is your happiness. feet on the dash, the person you can not keep your eyes off of next to you, and the whole world right in front of you surrounding you with beautiful colors.

you want life. there it is.
i can not explain the feeling, the words don't even matter when i think about it.

the simple things are what really matters.
and i love you.

a fortunate accident. [Serendipity]♥

Me mum bought me
The Phantom of the Opera,
House of Wax, && Frank Sinatra's greatest hits.
All are simply exquiset.
I am singing in front of 30 some odd people tomorrow.
I'll probably pass out.
ahh well.
I'm no in love with the movie [Serendipity]
It's such a great movie.
Very interesting for the wandering mind.


I want to be a cosmotologist.
or a stylist for the stars.
[movie stars that is]
Aye me...if you need a stylist,
hire me..haha.


I can read...really.
haha I  love reflecting on the past,
just the good things.
aye me...wanna se wayyyyyy back in June...

yeah...Diva...lol
o well...
I guess i'm gonna go.
I need something to do
this coming weekend,
anyone wanna make plans?
i need to see

-Harry Potter
-Just friends
-Rent

so yeah, make plans make plans:-)

EEK! my recital's today!!! 
i am sooo excited!! i have had this date in my head ever since last
spring and it's finally here! wow - what am i going to do with myself
when it's over??!? if you can, you should come! it's at 5pm and it's
only 30 minutes long so you'll be in and out! it's at the wright music
building in the t. earl hinton music hall. haha so many names! anyways,
i must go and get ready! au revoir mes amis!

So I was backstage help/fitting room attendant at the "Miss Oakland" pageant Saturday.
It was, in a word, an experience.

If you were in a burning museum and you had to save one item: a Van Gogh or an elderly woman who probably didn't have very long to live, anyway, which would you choose and why?

hey guys!! well last night went to shanes house to watch some movies with tray, chase, rob, ryan, jermey, julie, and shane. it was pretty fun!! all of us would have like serious talks and then rob would jump in with something sooo funny! gah he is like hilarious!! but anyways as we were startin house of wax shanes dad came up there and was like do yall want any pizza?? everyone was like "naw were good" but what does he do?? thirty minutes later he come back up there with 4 small pizzas. lol we were like we told u we didnt want any but he said that he knew we wanted some we just wernt sayin anything! well anyways that movie was like very bloody and gross, yea it was crazy!! then when that movie was over we put in the amityville horrer!! well we didnt get to watch all of it b/c 1. julie was leavin and 2. all the guys wanted to see how much they could bench or whatever u guys call it! it was sooo funny but i didnt realize how strong they were lol! but see these boys either play baseball or wrestle so yea u know what i mean. but i had alot of fun last night well i hope everyone has a great sunday!! lol

...as you eagerly await for oour Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong until the end....

i was reading 1 Corinthains last night it hit me that Jesus reveales himself when we are ready not any sooner....its crazy!!! this patiences thing is harder than i thought really!!! i just wish he would tell me certain things so i wouldnt worry about them ya know!!! but then he tells us its not our time... i dunno! i have a lot to learn!!!

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will ear or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. It not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
~matthew 6:25, 34

D O O D !

abby got a buttload of new clothes, last night <333

i hung out with my mom
we had a blast!!
just me and mommy.
we couldn't stop laughing.
she's like a little kid
in a good way of course
we went to Target
and Kirkland's (i'm so going to work there)
i love looking at christmas decorations.

today=chruch.

^_^

i'm a happy child.

abby?

well i didn't make all-state or mid-state! congrats to everyone who made it! there is always next year. in all honesty i really could have cared less if i made it because i can't go anyway i am going to nyc that week with the youth group! hope everyone had a great week. we lost thursday 47-19 and i scored 3. so yea thats pretty much it! later- stephen

I was almost giddy when I learned that Vandy beat UT. That makes me happy.

 I made Midstate Women's, which with my audition was the best I was hoping for...congrats to everybody who made Mid-State, and extra big congrats to those who made All-State!

Mmm, yesterday was so stressful.  After auditions (which = major stress) mom made me go job hunting...bleh.  There are few things which stress me out more than applying for jobs.

Places I've applied for a job:
Charlotte Rusee
Aeropostale
Hallmark
Marshall's
Bed Bath and Beyond
Subway
A&W
Taco Bell

You can see I started out with the really nice places and have been working my way down as I've gotten more desperate...lol.  Out of those I think my best chance is A&W...that would so crazy but my wallet's itching for money.

Then I went to Dana's party, which was great fun - I love that group of people.  I was really tired, though, from such a high-stress day, so I mostly just watched everybody else be crazy.  I did, however, explore a bamboo forest and get lost with Lauren in a field of scarf-eating pricklies. 

Thank goodness I don't have to sing Duo Seraphim again until February...

Checking PhuseBox out.  Looks pretty slick.

Esto es una prueba para genbeta ;)

So.. yeah..

I called off of work with the excuse that I had blood in my stool?

Fucking right I did.

Time for another bowl, suckahs.

Perhaps new poetry soon.

Stay tuned, I am still alive
Though to be fair, I've been thoroughly fried.

haha that rhymed. poetry? More poignant poetry later perhaps.

Smile... life is amazing.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man must be seeking the Lord to find it.

paint+aim=fun

FUN DAY!

i watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with JohnJohn, Ethan, and Becky (my nephews and sister) today. ^_^

then went to work, and that was fun. this guy in Buckle and i checked eachother out a lot. fun. and we listened to our newly aquired Gwen Stefani, and Scissor Sisters.

then i went to Addie's and Asia and i ate PHO! whoop. we had fun there.

and now it's late...

It seems like it's more fun to think on blogs and post questions.  Like.....
I think that I've had a big struggle for a long time in my life, and it only took one friend to say, "Hey, I've been noticing that............." and I seemed to just immediately try harder to not do that thing and it became less and less of a problem.  Funny how that works huh?  Sometimes a constructive criticism given in love is the best gift that a friend can give someone.  Food for thought.  Don't think that you are hurting someone by pointing out what they need to change. 

Friday was soo tiring. I stayed up until 1:30 doing a project on Thursday night.  I've been like that a lot lately. They say you need eight hours of sleep everynight. So before this morning, I should have had 48 hours of sleep for six nights. Instead, I was living off of 30 hours. Thats 18 hours that I lost. I was so tired I couldn't function friday. But I made up for it by Bawls. I love that stuff. So Friday was a big mess where we didn't do much work. We tye dyed [sp] T-shirts in chemistry...

Marie didn't use gloves... But unfortunately I left mine and Katie's shirt in the drama room and I wont get it til monday to wash it. I hope it doesn't ruin, heh. Then I had practice. And then I went out to eat with Heather, Andrea, and Chris. It was the first time I hung out with Chris. Heather usually keeps him underwraps. He's a nice guy, and I'm glad he and Heather are doing so well in their relationship. It was so weird to see Heather again though, its been almost forever. Which makes me sad because we used to be soooo close, and then she got a job and a boyfriend...I guess I'd understand if I had someone.   :(

Then we saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at 10:15. I have two completely different opinions of it. One part of me thinks it was compeltely amazing. ITs the best of the movies so far. The effects were spectacular, and it was very close to how I saw it. Everyone gave such a great performance and I was awstruck through most of it. Everyone should see it. I'll end up seeing it at least two more times. Wow, its so good. BUT, I was soo disappointed. They switched around TONS of things and details that made the book so good. And it seemed like the whole movie was a race to get the movie over with in a reasonable amount of time. It was just thing after thing and it never had time to slow down. They had no time to show Harry, Ron, and Hermoine just sitting around, having a good time, gossiping about teachers. Those parts are what makes it interesting and emotional. Oh well,  I still loved it, it just could have been better. But they did my favorite book of the series justice...

I didn't get home until 1:15, So I was exhausted, I slept until 1:45 this afternoon. Then I lounged around the house, home alone, singing loudly in the shower and throughout my house.

I wore my sweater vest today...

And I made up with Maegan. It feels soo nice. I hated the awkwardness and us just passing each other in the hallway without a word, and us going on with our lives not hanging out and hearing about her having fun and me not being there to have fun with her, Its just a big relief to be around her again. I hope the feeling is mutual.

Ate at Don Pablos with her, Then Carla and I went to see Rocky Horror at MTSU. My second time. This time we bought the audience participation packets, we missed just about every one of them, except for the bell and the newpaper. It was sooo different this time though because the first one I went to was a small show before it opened to the public, and at this one tons of people were there and people kept screaming out little sayings and such. It was entertaining. Brad's mic didn't work though, it was sad. I love that show though. I'm going to buy the movie and the soundtrack.

Then Marie and I went to starbucks and determined that we suck at life...lol...

My lips are chapped due to bad weather...

My mom was being oh so trendy...lol...

Two more days of easy school left. We wont do much, and we get a breakfast party in spanish. wooo!!

"I want so badly to believe that there is truth that love is real..."

*sigh* I'm a lonesome soul....

  I got this from a friend and thought it was inspiring so I thought I would share it with you....

        A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, or does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands her present and moves toward the future.
A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love. Girl Smile.....YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IT GOING ON! .....So Keep ON Keeping On.

i know, i know, two posts in a row, thats a little much, but this one deserves a post all in it's own.

tonight when i was walkin in, i noticed i had an extra piece of mail in the box other than the junk mail that i've let pile up in there. i noticed it was blue, and i was like heck ya, someone sent me a package. when i opened it up, i noticed it wasnt a package, it was a blue envelope from where someone sent me a card.

julie brockwell is the coolest!

getting mail is so awesome, and julie sent me the nicest card. it's so amazing how just by doing something simple like sending a letter so someone can mean so much to someone else. not just the letter, but letting someone know how much they mean to you, or just how your there for the other person.

thank you julie

God has a sense of humor. If He wasn't so nice, I would almost call it a cruel sense of humor (Go ahead, flame me for saying God has a cruel sense of humor). He knows the entire plan, He knows what's best for us, He makes good for us, but our little finite brains can't pick up on the clues. Everyonce in a while, I wish I could figure this thing out, but on the other hand, I rather like flying by the seat of my pants.

Life threw me a curveball. I'll probably let it go this time. Is it a strike or a ball?

so my wonderful day started at 5:30 this morning as i went to pick up rachael and madison for all-state tryouts!!!  they were fun and a little stressful...we us siegel kids just loooove pouring honey down our throats...i swear we had to look like some honey addicts with the way we were chuggin' that stuff!!

work, blah, blah, blah...

watched charlie and the chocolate factory...so so movie...

so apparently, i made MID-STATE which is good.  not great, but its better than nothing.  and the plus is that i wouldnt have to miss all-state because of spring break...congrats to everyone who auditioned and succeeded...fabulous darling...

today was a much-fun day!!!

_rebekah

i have been up a total of...18 HOURS!!!  im so tired and i think my voice isnt feeling all that hott...oh well, singing in church in the morning! we'll see how it goes i guess...

ahh well. i am so psyched that i even got anything at all...because my audition went so terrible. and i'm not even doing that whole, "i'm so good, but to be modest i'll say i'm really not.." I DID AWFUL. i was sick as a mo-fo, and it was hard. i got so nervous, and  i didn't even sound like me. but at least i got midstate....maybe next year. anyways. congrats to all who got All-State! yay for Mary Lauren....also, i just got home from the DBS Constitution test...i only missed 1!!!!! OMG! i am definately the best pledge ever! ha. kidding. so now i am a neophyte...(sounds dirty)...that's a DBS-er who's finished her pledge requirements and hasn't been initiated. after tomorrow it will all be over. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i am seriously gonna burn my candy bag. ha. yay for the black and gold indeed. Mary Lauren has an amazing house....i was definitely there for 6 hours...4 of which i was studying/testing...yes it's that serious....anyways. yay. this has been a good weekend. oh yeah. funny story, so i had play auditions on monday, and i left my DBS bag in the E hall @ OHS. biiiiiiig mistake. Britny Bryant found it in the D Hall girls bathroom, emptied out. what i don't get, is that this girl left my wallet, but took my make-up bag....ppl are random. and ghetto. oh well. such is oakland. pretty sure i'm done being president. i don't know that i'll run next year. besides, i don't like Mr. McClellan very much. also, i think i may be slowly sinking under in Algebra 2. anyways. life is good. yay rah.

My day continued at 1:00 as the DBS girls arrived to take the constitution test- all 50 of them...hah but it was fun and Sarah Walls definatly made my night...

So here I am looking at the All-State state audition results and guess what...

I made All-State! Wow I'm definatly gonna give God the credit on this one because there is no other way this would have happened without him. And to add to that ANDREA MAKE MID-STATE AND ALL-STATE ALTERNATE!!!!!! geeez i am proud of you girl! So I guess this crazy day turned out to be quite alright. lol. I am so blessed and i love you all. Let God rock it.  

 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. - Deuteronomy 7:19

i got NEW pictures so go comment them!! and ill do the same for you!! well there not exactly new but there new to phusebox!! lol..

I don't mean to be a downer, but right now I feel like the walls are slowly closing in on me.  MTSU is totally freaking me out right now, my prof is just like Mrs. Ledoux, he tests topics he doesn't teach! it really frustrates me.  Then nothing else is working either.  I hope this year is not wasted. 

Swim team. I don't even want to talk about it.  I mean we were going to be good, even great maybe, but since nobody is comming to practice...yea I don't want to talk about it.

Yay! I made Mid-State mixed choir and Im a ninth alternate for All-State...Im pretty excited! Im also sooo proud of Mary Lauren for making All-State yay! I love you Mary! Praise the Lord I got through it and did my best...hopefully next year I can do even better. Have a great week!

Hey yea, so today was the worst day ever! I completely missed my first event, 50 free. Then I bombed the 200 free relay, and not to mention finished dead last in my 100 breast stroke. I sucked soo bad. Then, I spent the rest of my time freezin' my butt off in that dang airconditioned place! And pretty sure I'm grounded so I couldn't do nething tonight so I stopped at Ben's to see Robbie for like 10 min. LoL, which made my day 100% better. He sand me the "funny song" lol. Then I ran into Nick on the way home at the gate, and man do I miss hangin' out with him...but not even going to go there b/c that would only make this day worse. Hmm...so yea gettin up early to go huntin' then church, catcha later! _Kristi_

i just found this & thought it was really cute.


photo from likewhoaitschels


ohh to be young again..
no worries.
or responsibilities.
so innocent.
so pure.
sometimes i wish life would be a little easier at times.
i guess we can't always have what we want..
but the tough things in life make you stronger..
so  they  say..

Packing for that nice powder...

So this time tomorrow I will be in Colorado. Ahhh I can't wait. Seriously. To be honest I rather be surfing, but I'll take the mountains. Haha! Yeah so I'll i've done today was get ready for this trip. I can't believe that I have a whole week off of school!!! I'm glad because well I've been extremely stressed with school && on top of that soccer. My soccer coach wants me to take a tennis ball with me so I can dribble it down the halls of our hotel. Strange? Yes.

There will be pictures up of course next Saturday!

guys really suck. once ur their friend and then u start to like him and then he finds out, and he doesn't like u back, then that REALLY sucks. things are soo weird between you now. now u know that you'll never have a chance with him... BUT when he starts liking u and u are the one thats over him and can't like him because he's a big jerk and didnt like u before, that REALLY REALLY sucks. but whatever... they had their chance. im soo po'ed right now. cuz thats what just happened to me... grr.. it so stressful.

well im soo exhausted!!! who is with me???
and i probably get more sleep than a lot of ppl!!!

didnt make to Knoxville but hey thats okay!
ill get to see Jason and Patrick this week!!! YAY!!!

attention: dont throw things at my window! i dont think you want to know what will happen!

so im going to the Titan game tomorrow!
with wes his roommate and Mr Keegan!
should be fun..never been!!!

i guess this whole entry was just random!
but yeah! one main thing tho...
please pray for me!!!

Love Through Christ!
~Rachel~

to look at the list or to not look at the list-

THAT is the question.

How is it that these really amazing and totally awesome guys like me, yet I don't have the mutual feeling?

SERIOUSLY, what's the deal? It can't be a fear of committment; there have been guys in the past I would have loved to have been in realtionships with, but it became obvious later that God didn't have that in mind.

Do I lack interest for a Reason that will be unveiled when I do in fact meet my love?

I'm starting to think God is actually doing something that I think He's doing. I'm not sure though. Who knows.

((edit-- few minutes later))

Have you ever had a friend or family member that really wanted something for a long time, and you had it for them? You knew exactly how happy it would make them when you presented it to them, and you knew that would treasure it forever? I think God is doing that with me. He has my husband; He's probably looking at him right now. And for all I know, my husband could be sitting around, frustrated because he hasn't found me. Have you ever thought about that girls? We long for our husbands, but there is a man out there that does long to be with US. He just doesn't know it yet!

Okay. That was weird. I think God put that on my heart. Thanks God.

((end edit))

ANYWAY. I went to Starbucks with Brian and Aimee today; Cameron met us about half an hour later. After staying there awhile, we decided we were hungry ((at 2:30, lol)), and I drove us to Camino Real. After that, I drove everybody back to where our cars were and dropped Cameron and Brian off. Aimee and I went to Marti and Liz Shoes, and I got me some really cute dress shoes. Theeeen we went to the mall and looked around; her mommy showed up, I left, then went to Shoe Carnival and Old Navy. Now I'm home. How exciting.

leave me remarks and make me happy...

please...

mucho love

i wish i had blue eyes

Bear with me on this one...
I've been listening to Christmas music and I am so wishing I could dance. It's great dancing music. I tried practicing with the mop, but it didn't quite work.

I got my cell phone and wallet back. I'm legal again.

I think jumping in the freezing cold water in the pool last night is wreaking havoc on my skin. It just feels funny.

Methuselah lived to be 969 years old. You would think he died of old age right? He died the same year the flood came. Makes me wonder if God let Noah's grandfather live that long only so he would die in the flood.

Haven't been on here in a really long time......i like phusebox, but so many more people i know are still xangans, so when i post on here not many people read it.  oh well, whatever.

Harry Potter was amazing, of course.  I saw it at Opry Mills in IMAX on Friday with my Etymology class, Mr. York, and Mr. Marlatt.  It was so much fun :  ) Characterizations were a little wierd sometimes, but I thought the special fx were great and all the major action plot points were covered.  I thought a few scenes could have been added in there for backstory, without sacrificing too much time, but w/e, it was still great.  I cried when Cedric died, I'm such a dork.  later.

Well, i'm officially angry...the Vols are terrible. They lost to Vandy and now i have to shave my beard. I really sucks...but it will grow back soon. Christmas is on the horizon over the turkey. Woot...kinda. I'm not sure how i'm going to pull off the whole present buying this year, due to the lack of job and funds.

I am soooo excited...He's in the new Johnny Cash movie called Walk The Line..I'll put a picture of him on here so that you know what to look for if you've never seen...Most of my friends have seen him though. Anyway, I'll teel you where to look for him. When Johnny is coming back from Mexico and he's coming dow the escalator and my dad is one of the FBI agents down at the bottom, waiting for him. And then when they're going through his stuff in a room in the air port and he's there too...we had so much fun watching the movie last night....yeah

well, i gotta go!

laterz

Don't you hate when someone says there gonna call you and then they never do and they completly forget about you?? Yea thas EXACTLY how I feel right about NOW!! I'm so freakin tired of his crap!! I give up on him!!! He's not worth it!!!

In the spirit of all things "Turkey-day"  . . .

I am thankful for:
My dear Savior!  For his death and resurrection; his taking my place on that scorned tree, 2000 years ago.  For the security of my place in eternity.

My precious husband! He's so supportive of our family.  He encourages me to be the best wife and mommy I can possibly be.  We make many sacrafices so that I may stay home and raise our son and I'm very grateful!!!

Our wonderful son! I'm most thankful for his health and personality.  He's such a gracious child.  I pray he will grow to be a young man humbled by the power of God.

The Freedom we have in this country to worship freely, in spirit and in truth.  (John 4)

all right, ix-nay on my plans. not going to happen. oh, well. the other day i was calling one of my buddies, and he picks up the phone. i talk to him, but he's acting like he has no idea what i'm talking about. two pieces of advice: 1. be sure u kno who ur talking to, and the person on the other line isn't, i don't kno, their dad. 2. do not use fake locations, like bubba's strip club, to get the other person to make them stop acting like they aren't who u think they are. i learned the hard way. long story short, i'll make sure i kno who i'm talking to b-4 i say something like that.

Ok, so all of you probably thought that we had a baby.  Well, we didn't, sorry :(  BUT, we did go and adopt a new dog today.  His name is Chester.  Say Hi!!  He is a one year old 
Lhasa Apso.  He was abused and then taken to a shelter and now is part of our family!!!!  I am sure there will be some more pictures coming but I hope you enjoy this nice little matrix of pics.  Have a Good day!!

Hey, well, I have made it through my jet lag, gotten a job, made half of a scrapbook, spent time with my boyfriend, and registered for my next classes. so in january it's back to school for me!!!

As soon as I get started I will let you know and will post the number up here so that  you can all come and get a massage from me!!! I hope that you liked my pictures!!!

Ti voglio bene, bacio!!!

So I just realised something.... Out of the nine-odd colleges I'm applying to, four are in the northeast, two are in the west, and one each for midwest, southeast, and abroad.  Fully eight of these are reach schools.  Crap.

Craving Panera.  And a cast-iron bat (still).

"Halaigh, Halaigh, A Lie, Halaigh" by Bright Eyes has been stuck in my head all friggin' yesterday and today.  That's what I get for putting it on REPEAT this morning on the way to school.  But hey, it was/is applicable.  I've been deceived by someone I thought was close to me.  By someone I thought I knew.  This is two extraordinarily painful experiences I've already had (on two separate occassions), combined.  It's fun.  Fun like a hospice patient.  Thank God my mascara didn't run.  Sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me from letting the dams break, but I'll take what I can get.  Crying period is bad enough, but in public must be infinitely worse.  Thanks to Schleicher for listening and talking and making sure no one saw.  It's great how I can go from distraught to irritated in all of seven hours.

I'm golden now, though.  Always am.... Always have to be, you know?

today was embarrasing while bowling...
i can't believe i even made the girls bowling team at siegel...
this morning i was up against some guys who made the guys bowling team at siegel...yeah...i pretty much tryed to make myself see-through...it didn't work...

i want to go hide...
haha...

mucho love!

Yay! Symposium was fun yesturday. Ruth's mom yelled at me for like 30 minutes because I was "15" minutes late getting to her house so we could go pick up Reese from Riverdale. Anywho, we got there and I saw a bunch of Governor's School people. I felt bad though, I didn't remember many of their names...but yeah, we had the master class and stuff. He randomly called on me, so I got to play part of the mid-state music for everyone, I think it was good. I found Saul at the last minute and was like "I'd love you forever if you took me to find Chinese food!" So he did, hehe. It was lots of food. We got back and got to listen to the studio ensembles, it was good. The trumpets played two movements of Carmina Burana, which was fun. Went back upstairs to do more horn stuff, and the concert. I hung out with Sara Todd like, the whole day and I LOVE HER! She's really easy to play with because we blend well. She turned around to me and was like "I wish we were going to the same college, it's nice having someone who blends and plays in tune with me." I was like "aww!!!" But yeah, I went and did my audition and it was good! My high Bb came out w/o a problem, all the rhythms were right, and I can sight read now! Mr. LaBar gave me a piece to read in 12/8 and I did it right! He said I did very well. Yay! 1 audition down, 3 more to go...

well im starting to do good on this thing, i hope everybodys impressed, cough kevin, chelsea, natalie! haha but last night chelsea came with me to a vball game, u of ls, it was pretty cool, theyre are some hosses on that team, but lets just say id be scared if they were hitting that ball at me, anyways then we had dinner at texas roadhouse and it was pretty good i ate all my ny strip, and most of my salad and chelsea didnt eat any of her chicken and not much salad, haha, jp, but then we went home and watched a movie, it was 2 hours so we took her home at like 12 30, haha woops, it was alotta fun though, and then i got home at 1, and i was already really tired from earlier this week, but this weekend i get to practice some piano with her, then go to her house to meet the family, haha that should be interesting, anyways i gotta go blow the leaves, ill cyall later

I have no chance whatsoever.  I screwed up. 

I wish I wasn't so mediocre.

photo from GodsGirl615these are the most wonderful girls in the whole wide world! i love you two... you're both so amazing! life has been crazy but its looking up, and i'm excited to see how God's going to be working in everyone's lives. have a wonderul weekend guys and gals! dont forget to let God bless your day!  lisa

There was a newspaper article in Manchester about a deer that went crazy.  He crashed through a couple stores tearing them to peices.  Then, get this...the deer busted through a glass door at an elementary school(one i went to for a couple years)!  The bloody deer proceeded to run wildly through several class rooms scaring the poor kids to death. Of course the school depended on the fearless janitors to get the crazed deer out.  Sometimes i feel sorry for school janitors...they ask so much of them.  If anything nasty or horrific happens in a school, the janitors are always the ones who have to come to the rescue.  I salute you school janitors.

*No one had the curtisy to taking a picture of the deer while it was running wildly through the school to put in the paper.  Apparantly, they  cared more about the kid's safety than a good picture...so inconsiderate.

So we won last night in overtime over beech it was great.... And today we play some team like two hours away so I will be gone all day but thats ok but I hope everyone has an awesome day and I will talk to you guys later...

Well we didn't drive all night as we planned, but that didn't happen and we stayed at the "Exuctive Inn" Yea that was a joke w/ Exuctive and all being in the sentence. Well since we got here so late we shopped in Flordia Mall, and then we went and ate dinner at Planet Hollywood, and since laura works for disney and Planet Hollywood is on their property we got VIP service...meaning that we got seated right away and skipped the 45 minute wait and was in and out of there in less that an hour, and theat was with us having some fun and goofing around w/ everyone else in there.

Well then we shopped at Pleasure Island and let's just say laura gets 40% off and so we got a bunch of stuff and didn't pay that much for it. However, I got this cute sweatshit and the lady didn't take the security tag that is supposed to beep off of it and so yea I still have it on my sweater and we have to take it back so we can get it off. Yea you can steal anything from that place and they wouldn't even know, and the security thing is just for looks, which I find funny.

Well I'm going to go get ready for the Disney.

ello ello,

well today is going to be cleaning day-sigh-

i hate cleaning but i have to do it...oh well i can get over it V.V

well anyways i am bored and i need to do some thing i might play some sims later... so yeah

well i am out soooooooo later

FINALLY leavin!  have a FANTASTIC thanksgiving!!!! 
see ya next sunday!  :)

First off let me say that walk the line was an awesome movie!!!!! Reese Witherspoon was just amazing, i truely urge you to go see this movie. It is some what like Ray, and was an awesome portrayal of the Life of Jonny Cash.

All worship night at Clemson FCA = one of my favorite nights of the semester. It really is quite possibly the most enjoyable jobs I get to do. Besides getting to work with Trip and Trey, everyone is really into worshiping God and the atmosphere is really incredible. However, video almost didn't happen....

...because Trip and I were late... okay, pretty late... okay rediculously late. Call time was 5 o'clock and because of class, and a healthy dose of traffic in alpharetta, we didn't arrive until 6:40. Trip and I had 40 minutes to be ready and in that time we had to set up screens, 3 computers, run a couple hundred feet of cable, adjust projectors, capture and que footage, light the candles in the control booth, and pray before we could start. Somehow, God enabled us to be ready when the band hit the first note. Still not sure just how that happened. We were glad to see the end of the first service so we could start to breathe again. It went pretty well. The second worship set was packed out! We killed the lights as everyone was still talking, finding their seats, and making a lot of noise. From the black stage we began to hear the mellow drone of bagpipes bleed through the sound of the crowd. I threw the words to Amazing Grace up and the noise gradually turned from loud conversation to soft singing as they worshiped with the bagpipes. A sweet moment indeed.The rest of the set went really great, Trip and I were really in sync. One more really cool moment during the set: Up until the second to last song, Majesty, we had words on the two side screens and loops on the large center screen. The song starts slow and gradually builds to a really powerful chorus that just goes "Majesty, Majesty." Right as the band and the crowd hit the first note of that chorus, we faded in two stars/galaxy loops that we blended together with the DV-7 onto all three screens. Everytime they sang Majesty the building shook. Awesome!

After a great night, we spent some time hanging out with Trey, Austin and gang. I can't wait to do it again. I uploaded a few pictures taken by Austin Grigg. Check em out!

so... i like to think back sometimes. not to remain in the past, but to look back to where i was and where i am now.

today is november 19th.

last year this date, according to xanga *shutters with the thought* (jk jk), i was about to leave to go on the cruise. crazy stuff. and it also marked the 4th month of no dating for me.

and the year before, i was a senior at RHS. and according to the good 'ol journal, i was at WOC (world outreach church)... and confused. haha i was like that a lot. but those are l-o-n-g stories. but the thing that was OK to be confused about was my friendship with certain individuals and how that needed to change.

and the year before... was a sad day.

so really, since november 19th 2002, this time of year has not been the same... and since january 2004, winter hasn't been the same. funny how things change. and funny how certain songs, weather, and smells can bring back so many memories.

and funny how i get crazy thoughts like this when i am laying in bed...

but i guess you may be wondering the reason i am even posting... i am too actually. haha, delerium maybe starting to set in.

no, but, i like to do this, i guess, to see if i am growing... if i have changed. and my, oh my, have things changed!

have you ever thought about just how important change is? it is inevitable and essential for our growth.

and perhaps i will be posting more stuff about change, mainly due to the fact that my life is changing dramtically.

but there you have it kids. a late night, random thoughts post. with some color... haha i cant be that bold silly... i'll stick to the gray and black. simple.

i hope everyone has a great day!

Scent of a Woman is one of my top three favorite movies. Al Pacino's monologue in the end is incredible. Besides the movie, I left my cell phone and wallet. Hope I don't get pulled over tonight. I'm at a friend's apartment right now. Hot tubs in winter are amazing! I decided to shock my body and jumped in the pool twice. That was quite an experience. I might edit in more later.

Rachel was a twelve when she had a lung transplant. At fifteen, she is in chronic rejection and living in a hospice facility. Death is inevitably arriving soon for her. Her life is filled with "lasts." When asked by her nurse, she says she would like to die there in the hospice facility with the people who know how to take care of her.

But then she says she has another way she would like to die... On her front porch, wrapped in an afghan, sitting in a rocking chair...with her husband holding her hand.

This girl was in a video we watched in class on Wednesday. Not a dry eye in the room.

you know how sometimes you miss how things used to be, and how sometimes you miss certain people. well i miss both, at the same time. and i also miss how some people used to be. oh well. it's ok.

it seems to me that i've messed some things up lately, but at times i dont think it's been just me thats messed up.

harry potter was tight. it seemed to me like they left out alot of important stuff. but thats ok.

vandy game tommorow, should be pretty crazy.

   So I'm addicted to skating.

I really don't have anything to say...i'm tired and sad and i'm going to go watch more movies and try not to think.

So this semester has been tough on me. 

Man, I just got to thinking the other day about how people with addictions and eating disorders have trigger signs that they can watch out for, to help them not fall back into that cycle.

I seriously think I have an approval of man addiction.  It's been rampant this semester, only I didn't really realize it till last week.  It's not tangible like a substance or lack of it, so I don't know it until I've been doing it for a while.  At first I just felt really needy.  Like I just couldn't get enough from my friends and professors and parents and people at church..  and even God. 

And I didn't know what to do with all of it so I just tried to run away with my thoughts.. and I've been inconsistent with my quiet times and talking to God.. which hurt me even worse.

God has lavished me with his love.  It's unfailing.  And it seriously- sometimes- I just want to cry with joy and gratitude that God loves me that much to just deal with those times that I'm struggling with being ______ TOO MANY TIMES. 

It's never too many for God. 

I'm never too much for Him.  NEVER. 

Not when I'm crying.  Not when I'm utterly silly.  Not when I'm sweating bullets because I'm nervous.  Not when I fail.  Not when I succeed again and again.

God is just Good.  That's just what He is. 

i'm back in alabama for the first time in 6 months, as of about 28 hours ago.  and yes, i feel for nathan on his dial-up...i'm there right now too :(  it's not a pretty sight!  anyway, i can't complain cuz i've just spent the past forever with my neices. 

the flights weren't too bad yesterday, considering it was my first time to fly in a year and a half.  met some cool people on the planes and in the airports, as well as did a bit of fundraising.  went today and saw emily, the girl i babysat all last semester, and her parents helped out with the fundraising too. 

last night mal, my oldest neice-4 years old, wouldn't stop crying when she had to leave to go home.  so i ended up having to go to her house to pick her up and bring her back here to spend the night.  she then woke up at 4AM and woke me up to ask me if it was time to wake up.  after telling her no several different times, she finally went back to sleep.  then she woke me up at 7AM to ask again...of course then it was actually time to wake up.  so we went to chickfila for breakfast this moring...that's right-CHICK-FIL-A!  and i had sonic for lunch...mmm.  then tonight my mom made me baked beans with meat in it and potato salad and grilled hotdogs.  all that weight i've lost in nyc over the past 6 months, i will gain back during my week here in alabama. 

i miss nyc and my friends there.  oh, my neice keeps saying, "i missed you at new york. i don't want you to go back. when i get bigger like you i'm gonna go on a plane to new york."

AUBURN/alabama game tomorrow...WAR EAGLE!!!

i made out with Addie for like three minutes... weird. and Asia too, a little. every time i go to Asia's house, i do that... we had a blast though.

i've been finding things out about people that i never would have thought they would say or think about me... and it's way more drama than i like to have. i wish i didn't worry about it so much. and i wish it didn't have to be drama. and i wish that we could just accept that we don't like eachother and move on... where am i going? oh, i just wish people wouldn't keep stuff from me. if you have a problem with someone, fucking confront them about it, don't let it stew and then tell one of their friends about it months down the line. that just makes it worse, and makes you a superficial person.

ugh. to all those who are truly my frineds - i love you. and i thank God for you all the time.

night guys.

Things are starting to look up a little for once in a while. It's the weekend, and Thanksgiving break is drawing close. It gives me a new motive and encourages me to keep going. After feeling so dry for so long, maybe it's just what I need.

Today was awesome to say the least. Ami Driver's surprise party was a BUTTLOAD of fun. I really love my friends...because they are the greatest gift God has given me other than my salvation.

So everyone seems to be getting sick lately? I just hope i'm able to avoid catching anything. It would suck to get sick over Thanksgiving Break.

Well since i'm not really writing about much of anything...i'll end it right there.

~Garrett

Well, I am absolutely the most bored person on the face of the earth.  Anyways, I went to see the new Harry Potter Movie tonight.  The Goblet of Fire was pretty good, but it skipped alot of stuff from the book. But all in all, it was one of the best movies of the little series thing. Tommorrow I'm going someplace for my Grandmas B-Day. We go to the sameplace every year and then drive around random places looking at suff (just to put it in a nutshell). Well, I think I'm gonna go and stop boring you.

I like to say....

While I was supposed to be working on my History paper I noticed this brilliant sunlight shining through my window, and I thought I'd have some fun with my digital cam. About 1/2 an hours worth of fun! Seriously, I took like 51 pictures trying to take advandage of the sunlight! I only posted 8 though. Just thought I'd share my brief lapse of ADD.

Alrighty then... here I am, and it's all Nemanja's fault.  lol, just kidding.  Well, it is actually.  So yesterday morning he was like, "Elaine, come here, you are going to sign up for a Phusebox."  "Oh, I am, am I?"  "Yes, you are.  Now type in your e-mail."  "Ah, and you're going to make me get a Phusebox?"  "Yes... and I am going to be the first person you invite as a friend on here.  And you must join the 'I love Nemanja' group... and also the 'I love Sparky' group... don't ask... you just must."

Thus began my introduction to Phusebox.  Let's see how long I can keep up with it.

Hey I am coming home Tuesday!!!!!! I hope to see everyone!!! I will be home for a month and half!!!! Go God!! I have many awesome stories to tell!! Love you guys!!!

well....things have been interesting...that show. a waste. we didn't play. i had to be back in town by 11...the show started over an hour late and we ended not being able to play. so whatever. in school, we are writing ballads for english, i was excited...but then my group and i wrote ours....i'm not proud of it in the least....no offense to any of my group members...but i got in a group of giddy girls and i'm not fond of our ballad in the least, i just have to play guitar behind it. whatever. last night i saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire....i was disappointed. there could have been SO much more stuff in that movie. from the standpoint of JUST the movie...i would say it was good...directed very well...props to Mike Newell....but compared to the book...it wasn't that great. it skipped around too much...left out a lot of important information, and left out some really cool parts. so i'm kind of on both sides on liking it and not liking it...i think i liked it more than not though. so i suggest it to any Harry Potter fans...but those of you who also read the books...you'll more than likely be disappointed in the content. as a result of seein that movie last night and getting home at 3 in the morning, i've been exhausted. this morning in German III i ate 4 LARGE brownies, a bowl of icecream, a cup of coffee and a mug of milk...it was grand...Brownie Day was awesome. in result of that, i ate not even half of my lunch. whatever. haha. i worked this evening...nothing special...just the droning of old people talking and complaining and whatnot. not i'm bored...someone save me!

-KYLE

symposium was today, and it wasn't as bad as I thot it would be. so thats a plus. ha. and I don't really have that much to say. I never do! ahhh...

So Windows Media Player hasn't been working for me for over a month now. I thought something was terribly wrong with WNP. The real issue?

It was on mute.

No, I don't feel dumb.

I have this urge to write, or type something. My fingers ache wanting movement within each word across this page. My head is telling me to type something worthwhile, something that might get comments.

I have this urge to wake up early tomorrow morning and run. Just run for hours and never stop. My legs want to do, and I can feel them trying to take over the normal thoughts in my head. My head who is telling me that it will be too cold, and you haven't ran in a week.

I have this urge to be with someone. Just to be with a boy, and be able to say I have a boyfriend. My head will tell me that is a silly thought. That no one will be good enough, and that you should wait till you are really ready.

I have this urge to tell my head just to stuff it. I think I might listen to it a bit, pick and choose what I want to follow. Cause sometimes my head doesn't know what it is talking about. Then again, no one can be without a brain.
