Hey Everyone,

if you didnt know last night was the movie night at the peirces house... we watched Fantastic four and the little shop of horrors.

It was so much fun.... we laughed most of the movie....

Well i am really bored and i might be having my best friend spend the night so maybe yall will get to meet her tomorrow...
She came to the cookout at mrs. Jeana's house....

Well i guess i will go.... remark me.... please

i had the wonderful privilege of going to a pancake breakfast with my brother, parents, and grandmother.

you know, the pancake breakfasts that little country churches like to throw . . . where there are old people everywhere sitting, talking, laughing.

and i remembered why i love old people.

i think an old lady would walk up to an ogre and say, "well, ain't you just the most handsomest, sweetest thing ever!"

because when you're an old lady, you are allowed to say things like "ain't you" and "most handsomest" with no social ramifications. cheek pinching is also within your bounds.

old men, on the other hand, are entitled to huge ears, their own brand of flirting with everything alive, and saying phrases like:

"you can't have your cake and eat it, too"

or

"a day late and a dollar short"

whatever the heck that means.

old people are allowed to forget people's names and have developed their own system by which they address everyone as "boy" or "girl" on the assumption that everyone is younger than they are.

young people, however, better remember their names.

so, basically, old people make me smile.

and i can't wait to be old.

For those who didn't know...or just didn't come...last night was a movie night at the Peirce's house... we watched "The Fantastic Four" and "Little Shop of Horrors"...it was great....well i will see everyone tomorrow at church...this was the shortest weekend ever!

it's my ALI POO!!!!!!!!!! she spent the night......

Hey yall! hows it goin?.......ya well i'm packin right now bec. i'm goin to the bahamas......so ya yall arent goin! naner naner boo boo!.....anywho.....ya i'm really bored and excited but i'm goin to go!.........<3HaleY

WWWOOOOOOO picnic time!!!!!

see ya at MTMC

death is the greatest victory of all and life itself has one purpose and when its time we get the gift of death

I don't know... tonight I worked with another girl I've been working with for a while.  Basically, most of the people that I work with are your typical southern christian people.  They're "christians.." but, I mean.. it's more of a .. i don't know, I'm HONESTLY not trying to offend anyone, buy I'm sure most of you get my drift. 
And then I go on their myspace accounts.. and see their lives.. how they really are.. so lost, without him
Putting their bodies out there for show for anyone to see.
I can't help but think of how Jesus felt when He looked at the multitudes.
36When He saw the
throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they
were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless),
like sheep without a shepherd.

You're worth so much that that! Don't put your body out there to find love.. Christ loves you.  He is that missing affection and attention you're missing.. There IS  man who has YOU at the center of His universe, and it has nothing to do with how much of yourself you can sell to anyone else.  He wants you pure, and just the way He made you.

... and 22 minutes. ish.


that's big.
i'm not 100% sure how i feel about it.
i kinda wish i had more stuff in my life figured out than i do. but i don't, so i'll deal with it.

i'm kinda hoping something big is gonna happen and life is gonna make this big U-turn and go in the ideal direction.
but i'm trying to not expect anything.
i always end up expecting stuff, and then when it doesn't happen, i get all depressed and lose hope.

yeah. i wish i was a little more grown up.
but at the same time, i still wanna be a kid.


welp.
there's no turning around now.
so hold my hand guys - i'll need my friends!

but aside from all the anxiety...
i'm so excited! this is huge - to me, anyway.

i can't WAIT till my birthday!

Well, today I got my powerbook back with a new hard drive in it... a great upgrade from 80GB to 120GB... however, my data has still not been recoverable. I do have the old drive though, so maybe I will be able to recover some of it myself.

It is odd starting on a fresh install of the operating system... and with no old files to transfer over... it is much like moving into a new house... fresh, clean start.

Hopefully, this hard drive will make it at least until I need a new system... who knows when that will be.

Luckily all my website stuff was on my server so those files are intact... and my music collection is on my iPod, so those files are fine. Everything else is gone though... oh well... It happens. That's life. I have learned my lesson though: frequent backups can prevent many headaches...

Here's to all the nice girls who became the friends instead girlfriends.

Here's to all the nice guys who got overlooked because we girls were off chasing the jerks.

Here's to that guy friend we all have. The one who doesn't have a shot, but we compare every guy we meet to.

Here's to the wonderful people we are too blind to see, though they are waving their arms at us.

Here's to the one screaming "I love you" to our deaf ears while we are too wrapped up in the ones who don't really love us.

Here's to the one that got away because we were afraid.

Here's to the people who are willing to risk a broken heart </3 for the chance of a complete one <3.

Here's to the friend who tells us the truth when we need to hear it.

Here's to the friends who stands beside us instead of behind us.

arent all these pictures just absolutely beautiful?!?!?!?!?! every time that i look at one of these pics. or a sight as beautiful as this then i am reminded how much god must love us to give us such a beautiful sight!!!

No, I'm not speaking baby language ... those are the names of our two maids and gardener.  Anni is the "Senior Maid" and the cook.  Wiwi and Nunung are the wife-husband couple.  All seem very nice ... Wiwi is sooooo small ... how small is she?  Well, not sure ... maybe 4' 8" and 70 pounds.

Got off work early (but late relative to plan) .. and made it home ... hmmm, 2pm delivery of safe and shredder was a 4pm delivery ... but all went well and looks good.  Washer and dryer was hooked up yesterday ... about 5pm ... but not before we had to go buy plug adapters .... Indonesian style to Singapore style (not sure why they used Singapore style plugs in a couple of places at the house).

Got Thasya's stereo set up and hooked up to the TV ... nice ... karaoke is really sweet now.

RE new printer-scanner-fax   ..... urgh ... whoever heard of a COLOR scanner, all-n-1 system ... that prints ONLY black and white ... sucky sucky sucky .... I'm stuck on that one.

RE UPSs ... two big ones work great ... not a problem ... two small ones didn't come with the "output" cords ... not very useful that way ... gotta go buy cords now.

RE A/C units ... we have something like 13 in the house ... I think its two that aren't working very well ... including the one in the office ... gotta get that fixed.

RE water ... we are in our dry season. Sometimes have water, sometimes no ... I understand the owner is going to drill the well a bit deeper ....

The four of us had a simple dinner at the house last night ... VERY NICE ... Wiwi and Anni laughed and laughed watching me eat fresh chili (during a pre-dinner snack).  Jokingly, I told them that next time they needed to find "hot" chilis ... he he he ....

We are having the typically "start up" issues associated with any move ...and in particular moving in Indonesia ... but we are making progress.  Today (Sat) we are still in the hotel ... just going back and forth for now ... as we get things organized. Hope to have internet access at the house on Monday.

ciao ciao ....

So friday the 13th sucked pretty bad.

Oh darn, there runs a black cat, underneath a ladder, and it just broke a mirror.  Wheres the salt???

As some of you know, I have not been feeling good since I woke up on Sunday morning.  My throat has been extremely sore and I've had trouble breathing and swallowing.  I finally took Thursday and went to the student health clinic on campus.  They didn't know what was wrong with me there so they sent me to the Emergency Room at Erlanger Hospital to see an ENT specialist.  I saw my room mates when I was coming back from the clinic to go to the hospital and I burst into tears as I told them what was wrong and they brought me to the hospital.  We waited for about 30 minutes to an hour because I told them I was having trouble breathing.  Then, my room mates left once I got sent back and it was ok because I knew my dad would be there soon.  Shortly after waiting on an exam room, I was stuck 4 times because they couldn't find a vein on me because I was so dehydrated.  They decided to start an IV and take blood and then they admitted me overnight to keep on eye on my fever.  They woke me up every 2 hours last night to check vitals or take blood or change my IV bags.  About 6 tonight, I FINALLY got to see an ENT specialist and he prescribed about 4 different types of medication.  He said my activites are very limited right now and I'm not allowed to do anything outside for an extended period of time.  I am feeling better now.  I'm just a little tired and sore.  I can kind of eat normal foods again and both my parents and Brandon are here keeping a close watch on me.  The doctor wants a follow-up in 10 days to make sure my tonsils have gone down and if this happens again they will probably have to do surgery.  Anyways, I would like to thank those of you who knew and have been calling to check up on me.  Sorry for those who weren't informed, this was a surprise to me too.  Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers and pray that I keep fluids in me and that I eat and take all my meds at the right time.  I love you!      

yeah its a random title...but now people might actually read it........school...what school....its the WEEKEND!!!!......parents are at a play.....babysittin my lil bro.....hes one cool kid.......corn maze tomorrow nite....then we take hannah home and kelly spends the night.....im tired...i think ill take a break!!!

much love......

alliemoe

well, i'm basically over the pain, of having my teeth out..

worked with my dad today, who needs star trek?

;I'll take what I want and its easy to see I got everything.

Yeah so I am going to kentucky's big blue madness tonight and well this is a dream come true... I am very excited........ So Lexington here I come!!!

Yeah so i either have a brown recluse bite or a staph infection on my neck.  One doctor thinks its a bite, and another thinks its staph.  I'm being treated for staph and both doctors said there no good treatment for brown recluse bite.  On top of all that, i have strep throat.  I'm on separate drugs for that.

So yeah...keep me in your prayers please.

I'd show you a picture of it but truse me you dont wanna see... i wont lie its gotten pretty disgusting.

So this semester has really tested my faith...I've done well in some areas but I still feel that emptiness...I've done things I wish I didn't but we all make mistakes...I've become stronger because of them but it feels like I'm getting farther away...My trust has been tested and I know I have failed...my patience wears thin and I feel like I'm about to break...I need God more than ever...He has gotten me through so much and without Him I don't know where I would be...He has tested alot of friendships and thank You for getting rid of the bad ones...thankyou for making me realize money has no power over me...Ever since highschool I've gone back to my depression but God always seems to save me from my own insanity...I can't imagine my life without Him...I was so blessed this summer when I went to Dominican Republic...I would give anything to go back there...that place made me feel at peace and I was away from all distractions and all the drama that constantly pulls me down...I thought I would die alone but the whole time You were by my side...Thankyou for keeping my head on straight and making me refocus...without You I would be nothing...You have saved my life and I praise You for it. From the bottom of my heart I love you and I wish there was a way for me to repay you for saving my life. These tears are not only pain but also joy because when I feel the lowest and I feel like I can't go on...You keep me going and I know I can do anything through You. You are my strength and my rock. You are my best friend. No one will ever break our bond. We are unbreakable. Keep me strong and don't let these wordly temptations take me away. I don't want to go back to where I was...I love you...and I always will. You are my one and only true love. You are my desire...thankyou for each breathe I take...I love you forever and into eternity

I hate the sinking feeling that you get when you find out that one of
your Christian friends or maybe just someone that you looked up to, has
secretly been doing things that they were openly against (or so I
thought).  I'm not judging.  I just wasn't in the mood to get that
feeling tonight, but it happens......particularly right after high
school ends.  I don't hate the person, just the feeling that I get. 
Usually just utter disappointment. 


Well, I won't let that get me down.  Tomorrow night I get to see
Steph!  Plus I get to go camping with lots of neat people.  I can't
wait to set up a tent, build a fire to sing and talk around, and just
have that good outdoorsy feeling.  It's a good feeling.  I hope
everyone enjoys their fall break! 

So now I sit here in my room alone,Cold and afraid,I've pushed my last friend away.There's no one to talk to,no one to confide in,only the hole in my heartwhere my once happy life resided is left.So I sit here alone,in my pain,in my sorrow.Droplets of clear warm liquidgently fall to the floor,and with a soft tap explodeand form the puddle that represents my pain.

so much internal drama

i feel like such a tipical teen girl right about now and i dont like it

its time to sleep

me encanta tu

-milly

So I was cooking today because I don't have the money to eat out and well I am cooking some rice when something explodes......I check the cooking rice and it didn't explode but it came from the eye that it was on......so I move the rice to another eye to cook and I see that a battery had fallen under the heated coils....I flipped out, cause in the explosion something hit my face and arms......I was freaking out thinking that battery acid had gotten on my face and I run to the bathroom and wash my arms and face and took off my shirt and changed cause I couldn't just leave cooking food on the stove.....as I look back on it....it was just bad luck....what had happened is my roommate had left some batteries by the stove and one had just happened to fall underneath the eye I was going to use......but yea.....crazyness.....peace

Let's do something different.

Paint the town red.

Takes tons of pictures.

Make a video.

Go somewhere else.

Any, or all of the above will do.

Costume ideas.

I have none.

Supply them.  NOW!

(Grace has already suggested Scarlett O'Hara.)

Your turn.

is this a bad idea? am i pushing it too far?

maybe.

i wish i could give myself advice, the way i seem to be able to do so well for everyone else.

y is it so much harder when ur the one in the situation?

i suck sometiems.

Murphy Hall, 1:38 am

The residents of the Honors Dorm were, for the large part, asleep, when one William Wilhoite of room 209 felt a bit hungry.  In order to sate his hunger, he decided to melt some cheese (in his microwave) to go with some chips.  What next occured is lost to the annals of Murphy lore as Wilhoite will not confirm his whereabouts.  All that is known is that the cheese began to smoke vehemently and set off the fire alarm in Murphy Hall.
As students began to pour outside, young Paige Adkisson noted that her dashing, handsome lover, Jonathan Wood, had not yet exited the building.  As the minutes passed and his royal red-locked head never passed through the doors, she began to panic.  She dialed his room number on her cellular phone and waited an eternity for the answer.
Meanwhile, in Murphy 106, David Patton, playing a video game on his computer, ignored the fire alarm as it blared in the hallway as his roommate, the courageous Jonathan Wood, slept peacefully.  When the phone rang, Patton ignored it as well, leaving the newly awakened Jonathan to answer.  When Paige described the building as being on fire, Jonathan decided that his safest bet would be to wait out the inferno in his room, but, because of his great love and compassion for the panicked girl's plight of desperation, deigned it a suitable option to join the amassed throngs of residents outside of the dorm, dragging his sorry roommate with him.
As the temperatures outside plummetted to nearly -78K, the Murphy and Jobe residents waited patiently for nigh 15 minutes for the fire department to casually stroll in, poke around in the building for 10 minutes, then allow everyone back in, but not before Wilhoite's cheese was named the culprit in bringing us all out at 2 in the frigging morning.

I am not a happy camper!  I am also not a well-rested camper!  I want blood!

Just to add on: the day went downhill from there until about 2 pm.  It was unfun.

well hello phusebox.

yeah.....i kinda realized it has been a while since i have done a blog.......Mr. Delbridge opened my eyes today.....he said we arent gonna be 14 forever .....we need to get out there and start thinking about what we are gonna do with the rest of our lives....wierd huh???

there is this dude in my history class who comes in there for study hall and all he does is lay on the couch...sleep...and snore... it was sooo funny today cause coach shelton walked over to him when he was asleep and was like .....does he do this EVERYDAY?? its really one of those you-had-to-be-there kinda things!!!

well nice getting to update again.....leave me comments.....

alliemoe!!

And so, my resourceful mother (with electronic bahasa translator - nakal nakal nakal) who carefully reads my blogs and still has her wits about her ... asks how does one have a gazebo without a yard?  Good question ... read on ...

Most middle/upper class houses in Indonesia (especially Jakarta) don't have yards per se ... houses with their security walls, usually go right to property boundary ... think of it as a mini castle with a wall around it.  Note:  This looks especially odd (as Paul and Chris will see in December) when you have a block with only two or three house on it ...

Anyway, for the Palm house ... the front yard has a little bit of grass (inside the walls) ... it is about 10 ft by 20 ft.  The back yard has some plants, but is mostly pool, decking, and patio ... can't recall seeing any grass there.  The gazebo will be placed on one of the patio areas.  I promise to post a pic once the gazebo is in place.

Now ... as for progress ... after having worked late on Tuesday and Decy just about killing herself ... and having another very full and frustrating day on Wednesday (mattress delivery 4 hours late) ... I decided to leave work early to lend a hand.  Left the office at 4pm ... 30 minutes later I have travelled ~4 miles and was within 2 miles of the Pondok Indah Mall ... where Decy was waiting for me so we could buy the safe ... so I SMS Decy ... "making progress - be there soon" .... 45 minutes later ... I have travelled ~ 1/2 mile more ... urrrrgggghhhh .... finally arrive at the mall 1 hr 45 minutes after I left the office .... i tried ....

Anyway, we bought the safe ($500) and a good cross-cut shredder ($200) both will be delivered on Friday.

As for Thursday, lots of furniture arrived (see yesterday's blog for the list) ... our bedroom set (which includes a 4 poster bed) is beautiful (way to go Decy !!) and the 3-2-1 couch set is really nice.  I also like Chely's bed set.  (Thasya's bed set arrives next week).

On Friday, we have to divide and conquor.  I have two meetings in the morning (that I couldn't reschedule) ... then will leave the office, go to the store to pick up some things ... and then to the house to be there for the safe and shredder delivery.  While doing that, Decy and the girls will be at the school from 8am to 3pm for parent-teacher conferences.

I understand that the washer and dryer will be hooked up today (Friday) ... which is critical to our moving in so (a) we can have sheets and towels, and (b) begin doing laundry.  Hopefully, that works out ... so the maids can start that process.

Stabilizer and genset not yet hooked up. Security alarm not yet upgraded.

This weekend and next week will be lots of shopping, shopping, shopping, mainly for groceries - food, drinks, spices, all that kind of stuff you need to eat !

Friday, while waiting at the house, I will try to set up the new all-in-1 printer ... as well as begin charging the UPSs.  Don't yet have internet access ... Decy and the real estate agent is working that one ... hopefully soon (Monday ?).

Decy continues moving items from the hotel to the house.  We have a good shot at being in the house this weekend .. but I suspect we will spend at last least Friday and Saturday night at the hotel (being as it is paid for by the company) ... we will move into the house when enough pieces are in place ... Sunday? Monday?  we shall see ...

ciao ciao ...

so for the past few years I have been praying to have a...hm what word is right... a "zeal" (that sounds too holy for John Dunahoo)...ok energy, enthusiasm, or eagerness (I said these words because i dont wanna use "passion" haha). ok anyway, I have been praying that God would give me an enthusiasm for His Word. For goodness sake, IT GIVES LIFE. Thats pretty big in my book... Because of this, I have had a what seems a tumor within me that there is so much more to the life submitted to Jesus than what I have been taught... With teachings from Jeff Brookes, David Huskey, John Piper, my Mother and Father, Rob Bell, my brother Clint Singleton, words of Tim Hughes & Mike Pilavachi, Dean Sisk, Trevor Atwood, Jerel Olsen and the of course Word itself, I am beginning a persuit after what I have known is greater than what is since I was 7 to be exact.

disclaimer: I am not knowledgeable in Hebrew. just been doing research so yeah... just a forewarning

so. yeah here's a glimpse of what God is showing me...

so the people of Israel left Egypt and its the 3rd month they are out of there... they are now at the Wilderness of Sinai. So the encamp at the base of Mt. Sinai. Moses hikes up 7498 ft of mountain (assuming he went to the top, but we just know "Moses went up to God, and the Lord called him out of the mountain" and God says to Moses,
Exodus 19:5-6
... 5 "Now therefore, if you will indeed OBEY my voice and KEEP MY COVENANT, then you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and YOU SHALL BE TO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS AND A HOLY NATION. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel."

so we have Moses @ Mt. Sinai (elevation of 7498 feet). God obviously stops Moses in his tracks. He does this because deliverance out of Egypt was God's first step for the people of Israel (a people of no land at the moment) to see Almighty God (el Shaddai) the way He appeared to Abraham in Gen 17:1.

so God does not deliver the people of Israel just to simply rescue them from bondage and slavery, but its His purpose to give Israel a purpos, a reason, a basis of living and a name after being in exile for 430 years... He delivered them because He was searching for a body. He desires Israel to be TO GOD "a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation" (sounds like a name to me)... and note here that a priest isn't just a preacher as we American's see them to be... a priest at this time was the ONLY person to communicate with God, there were no intimate relationships with God we have today due to the Law. So God is calling Israel to show to the world what God is like...this is rather significant because this is the FIRST body that God calls to be His hands and feet... So Sinai is a place where God gives his people identity...

to be continued... asap

everyone my family and i will be in AL. call or text me if you want


o amd good luck to the roddens while camping

A friend is someone who will do what is right for you, even if you don't think it's what you want.

Who decides who must suffer and when they definitely will?  There are many parents who, though at first did not want children, found incredible joy in that new life, while other parents who wanted children and had them abused them.  So then, is the government to condone the destroying of life based on suffering?  No!  Each one has the right to determine whether they want life or not: that's called freedom.  Even then, the suicidal are often locked up into institutions to be convinced not to destroy themselves.  Society, even from a purely evolutionary perspective, needs to uphold the value of life, for if it doesn't, anarchy ensues.  It is no more moral to kill a child based on convenience, even if that child was created mostly by a woman who deems it inconvenient.  For us to presume that its existence would merely be suffering therefore is foolish.  We don't know, and a society held up to a standard of responsibility--the sanctity of life--would very well change its promiscuous ways with that responsibility in mind.  If it didn't change, then what's the point of sexual education to begin with!  Why should we inform someone of any form of sexual responsibility if there is no one will change their mind anyway?  Destroying the child is by no means a solution to this either, only a degradation into ungratefulness and worthlessness.  Life is a gift to be cherished.

I think...my life is like an apple.

A yellow one.

we lost.

season is over.

and it sucks.

...bigtime.

......makes me giggle

It gets so crazy sometimes and you don't know whether to go left or go right. And you feel like you are in this constant spin.

..................

And then all of a sudden you......STOP. And you realize that you have been facing the right direction all along.....and so you take one step forward.....

And you know that life is too short to take it for granted...

AND you start to LIVE it.....

Sometimes I feel like this little girl......

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. -- Anonymous

playin in the rain with sisters and havin a little contest to see who can twirl the longest without fallin, well guess what i won!

oh goodness!!!!! jumpin in the leaves a LONG time ago!!!!!!!

well what can i say? kait's team lost tonight, but they had some really good plays! i feel really sorry for the whole team 'cause they all came out sobbing and even some of the players too! it wasn't a very good day for this to happen.........

I've posted this before, but having some type of journal or
something, especially in reference to devotions, is something I hold a
strong belief in.  I stumbled over this tonight.  God is good.

Sinners
seemed to recognize Jesus a lot quicker than the Pharisees, or most
"normal people" for that matter.  I think this points to a basic
principle between humanity and Him:

*It becomes a lot easier to see Jesus when we
look through desperate eyes*

Is this what makes the world go 'round? This is what I hear everyday. Sure would be nice to meet some people who don't do any of this.Got 14-17 year olds running around pregnant, people bragging about their sexual encounters, people talking about how they did drugs, and are going to do it again, people bragging on how they got high on the way to school, or on the weekend, etc, and how they are going to do it again, and people bragging about how they got drunk and how they're going to get drunk again. I was standing outside of a class I was in for directed studies, and this guy was saying he has to get good grades, or his car will be taken away, and then he said he wouldn't be able to get drunk with his friends if his grades were bad. His friend's dad gives them the stuff.So, I ask, is this what makes the world go 'round. The answer: it shouldn't.

I can't remember what it's like to be a civilian. Seeing large, mean-looking people carrying large, mean-looking weapons is an everyday thing. I have a new vocabulary with words like jacked up, squared away, blue falcon, hooah, and dress-right-dressed. I have strange desire to become an Airborne Ranger. Places and things like "Wal-Mart" and automotive transportation are foreign to me now. I have a new hair style that doesn't involve a whole lot of hair. I feel naked without a canteen attached to my hip. Here's another Army cadence that goes along with this blog entry:
Uh oh, oh no
Sha na na na na
Army life is not my style
They got me lookin' like Gomer Pyle
I used to wear my faded jeans
Now I'm wearin' Army greens
I used to drive a Cadillac
Now I'm ruckin' on my back
Army life is not my stuff
They got me lookin' like Forrest Gump
I used to eat at Mickie D's
Now I'm eatin' MREs
They sat me in a barber's chair
Spun me around I have no hair
Army Life is not my style
They got me lookin' like Gomer Pyle

Now that you mention it...

For those that want to know: sukses - success; bisnis - business; jus - juice; rumah - house; mobil - car (I misspelled that in the other blog); telepon - telephone ..... SEE you do know some bahasa ... way to go grandma Suzy !!!

Ok, today is Thursday ... its 5am ... still in the hotel Kristal.  Status on house ....

Wednesday was a busy busy day ... today even more so.  I came home late last night (arrived about 745pm) so didn't get to see the house ... but as I understand it ....

First, Decy lined out the two maids and gardener  ... salaries, food allowance, what they can/can't eat from our side of the house, who cleans what area ... handed over supplies ... put them on 3 months "probation" .... and told them "no arguing".  For the gardener, he won't be much of a gardener ... we don't have much of a lawn ... but he will be working there with his wife and will also be helping with the cleaning.

On the lawn ...the backyard has some bushes/trees but no grass ... really just a deck and pool.  In the front, there are a few bushes, but the grass is only about 10 ft x 20 ft .... so, "mowing the lawn" will be done with hand shears.

Wednesday was a big delivery day for the Owner.  He still has a bunch of things to bring ... but he brought 2 TVs, the 2nd frig, small stove for the maids, one of the bottled water dispensers, the maids' beds, the washer and dryer (W&D are key Day-1 items).

On our side, Chely's bed frame and standing mirror was delivered. Also, took delivery on two medium sized and two large sized UPSs for the computers, printers, TVs, stereos (once it all arrives).

Decy did another "store run" getting additional cleaning supplies, food for the maids, sheets for the maids beds, small electric fan for maids (their area is not air conditioned), rice, noodles, dishes for the maids (but she forget spoons and forks, most eat rice with their hands), soap and shampoo for the maids (so they are clean and fresh), iron and ironing board, drinking water (until the bottled water arrives), rice dispenser, soda pop, and who knows what all else.

About 75% of the stuff in the hotel was moved to the house ... 13 air freight boxes, printer, stereo (Thasya's BD present, which she knows about), and a bunch of Day-1 kitchen stuff, sheets, and towels.

Today, Thursday, is a key day for delivering lots of our furniture ... our bedroom set, one set of living room furniture, the girls mattresses.  Next week Thasya's bedroom set will be delivered as well as the gazebo .... don't know about the other things we have already bought.

Oh yeah, the rugs that Decy bought will be delivered today (Thurs).  Today Decy is going to buy the safe and do another store run.  As for me ... work ... work ... work.  However, I plan to take Friday afternoon off.

So much to do ... but Decy is doing an absolutely excellent job and the drivers Mustafa and Yono are pitching in and helping too.  I think we will be in the house on Sunday ... as long as the electricians don't screw something up when they hook up the genset and stabilizer.

After we get this first wave of stuff in ... we will organize it ... try to build a routine.  Then next week, Decy, the girls and I are going to take a long holiday weekend (Idul Fitri) and go to the island of Sulawesi, town of Makassar (also known as Unjung Pandang) ... where Decy was born and raised.  Decy's son David is there .. and I want to meet him, his wife Anna, and their baby (Moses).  Plus, I want to see the house Decy grew up in ... although I understand it has been substantially rebuilt/renovated.

After we get back from Makassar we will then start the next wave of major purchases/moblization ... furniture for the entryway / sitting room ... and for the family room.

Fun fun fun ... huh ?????

Pretty Sure that Senior Superlatives are the most UNFAIR awards ever.

A couple deserved what they received, but some....completely out-of-the-blue and did not even begin to represent their title.

My birthday went well...I guess. No different from a regular day except the feeling of having about 84 Happy Birthdays flung in your direction.

Nothing much more to say.

So all day pretty much it has looked like it was going to just pour down rain..... it finally starts to rain but the sun is still out and there is a little thunder here and there but its nothing scary... I love days like to day becuase the weather is like perfect cuz theres sunshine and a breeze and I just LOVE fall days!

I don't have to look at The Time Machine for the next 6 weeks.  That makes me really happy.  :)

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your firends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

(something that is apparent in my life right now. timing. jake says there is no such thing as good timing. but, there is definetely bad timing. so you are left with bad timing. just bad timing. yeah, timing is everything.)

hope your day is blessed!

i am about to be out on my own. i will encounter all the world's responsibilties; school,work,pursuing my career in architecture. people come to a stage in life when they want to be indipendant. each person's maturity level is different. i am going to be turning 20 on october 18th. i have found an apartment and will be moving in soon. although i have alot of obsticles that i have to face, i know that i''l make it through each circumstance and if i fall i'll dust myself off and try it again til i overcome the circumstance.

Just because everything around you seems different, doesn't mean that everything around you changed. Perhaps it was you who changed and the world just stayed the same. Maybe you grew up, maybe you learned something. Perhaps it's that you have opened your eyes, heart, and mind.

All this hassle

for a tassel.

this is goin to be easier than what i had thought............

It's been a few since I phused and when I logged in tonight I had something like 52 entries to read!  Ugh! My eyeballs are tired!

Here's my summary of what I read.
Some people think if no one posts no one cares.  Not so!  I read.  I care.  I just don't usually feel the need to reply.  I think this is supposed to be about sharing yourself not trying to drag everybody into your posts!

Jamie Crabtree makes amazing comments.  She's funny and practical.  But watch out for her right hook!

I don't think Chris' response to Jessica's comment about her lips was meant as it sounded. 

Teenagers can't decide how to feel. Ever!

Adults usually feel like they need to advise when they comment.

Phuse box is a great was to keep tabs on how lots of people are doing in general. And it's fun.

Those are my tiny little opinions.

Have a nice life!

Yeah...I haven't done anything lately.  I've just been kinda...uggg...that's all.

"The whole life of the good Christian is a holy longing. What you desire ardently, as yet you do not see." -St. Augustine

"But I still haven't found what I'm looking for..." -U2

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." -Phillipians 3:12-14

Hey Everyone,

I am like really bored, and my teeth hurt because i just got my braces tightened yesterday( my orthodontist said he was going to make me look like a pumpkin... I think it worked). school was the same as it usually is .... a.k.a boring!!!
okay well i guess i better go... i had written this really long blog before dinner and then it like erased it.... it was very sad( TEAR)   anyways

BYE

LUV YA EMILY

Please either comment me or message me or call me !

there is no place on earth that i hate more than the hospital

well guess were i was today all day

you guessed it the hospital for a check up

i hate it so much

Say these words just as they are written ... sukses ... bisnes ... jus .... rumah ... mobile ... telepon. now, blog a remark and translate those from Indonesian to English (Chely, Decy, Thasya .... DO NOT !) ... let's see how many you get right. Have fun.

On the Palm house ... step by step ... WE HAVE TOILET PAPER !!!  So much time ... so little to do ... "oops, reverse that" as Willy Wonka would say.

Ok, we have a genset and stablizer (although not yet hooked up).  No wonder the Owner didn't want to buy them ... they are EXPENSIVE ... and big .... genset is the size of two chest freezers stacked on top of each other ...and is towed on wheels.  The stabilizer (a giant voltage regulator) is the size of a small refrigerator.

Temporary security guards (ones that work specifically for our company) are now in place. Very nice fellows.  They will be our security until my company puts in place a contract covering all expat houses - - not my problem to worry about. 

One mattress,ours, showed up last night (Tuesday) and Decy made a delivery on key "day-1 items" ... toothpaste, soap, toilet paper, basic cooking items, hangers for clothes, brooms, mops etc.  Decy goes back to the store today and starts buying laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, napkins, more of that kind of stuff.

Today (Wednesday) is a BIG day ... all maids and gardner show up, washer/dryer will be delivered, water dispensers delivered, girls mattresses delivered, UPCs for electronics delivered, some of our rugs, and some of the other furniture - can't remember which.

Decy will be making numerous "runs" between the hotel and house.  Thankfully, the two are apart by only 10-15 minutes travel time.  She will try to move as many of the 13 boxes of stuff and other things we have bought ... today and tomorrow ... and let the maids unpack, wash/dry/iron, and put away as appropriate.  Decy's mom will be at the house to help supervise the maids while Decy is running back and forth.

I think today (or tomorrow) Decy will buy the safe and queue it up for delivery.  I think the Owner will begin putting the new curtains in during the next few days.  Don't know about the alarm system yet ... maybe next week.

As for me ... what am I doing ... I'm working, keeping the cashflow coming, lending help wherever I can .... yeah I know ... I'm a slimeball !!!

Other key items before move-in, internet access, food, bottled water ... not necessarily in that order of importance ... but all important.  We are targetting moving this weekend ... but it will likely be late Sunday or a Monday check out from the hotel.

... stay tuned ... ciao ciao

hey guys have blogged in along time imiss you guys especially all my high school grads but i need to vent so here it goes.....

I lost the only guy i ever truly loved to another gir; my heart fills like a hole I don't like it we talked for a while about it and im not mad at him but i guess we could never be. I don't think i will ever find the right guy for me. I think i was made to be alone the boys see me as friends the girl who can kick thier butt in football or any sport at that matter but none of them are even close to liking me as more than a sports buddy. man i wish i acted more like a girl sometimes.....

i am coming home

on thursday night or friday afternoon

i will be in murfreesboro

until tuesday afternoon

you should call me

and we should hang out.

i havent written on here in a while.

school stinks, but i'm haning in there. grabbing the bull by the horns you might say. oh man, i just remembered how i have advising tomorow. i should check that out. haha, for real, i just rememebred. wish me luck.

so check this out. our team needs new boats badly right. well, i sent out a few emails to some different companies asking for help. well, i got a phone call from a company called vespoli, a premier boat manufactuar. get this, the southeast rep. and the president of the company are coming to knoxville to meet with me and the president of the team and check out what we're about. it's pretty freakin awesome

my friend that i was asking ya'll to pray for, if ya'll could keep praying for them. that'd be great.

hope everything is going great with ya'll

piece

But that is not the point. The point is the following random thoughts.

We do not love someone because they are beautiful. They are beautiful because we love them.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt

Getting older means nothing other than you have lived on this little planet another year longer. Becoming mature is what means the most.

There is nothing more important in this world than love and faith, without them you cannot hope to survive.

so yeah, havent been on this thing for a long time, so i thot id get back on and say hi.. oh, and i am now single, so anyone interested? lol, so yeah, whats up everyone?

switchfoot november 16th war memorial....

sounds like a plan to me

*hums*

Errrrrrrrr... blech.

School is back.  That is the opposite of nice.  It is very UN-nice, actually.

Things you should know:

I miss Grace.

I adore Rachel Hodorowicz, Michael Cole, and Mady Roberston.

I'm not that bad of a navigator... until I get a little bit lost.  And then I'm hopeless.

If you ever decide to get lost in a corn field, take Andrew Loaki with you or else you'll never make it out alive.

I'm starting to not completely suck at Calculus again sort of kind of.

There is a Torrid in Memphis.  Methinks I may be making a shopping road trip with Trish.  (That's right, Brian.  I don't care about you.  I just want some nice clothes that actually fit me.)

I talked my Women's Studies teacher out of class on Friday.......so I get to leave after my first class which means I am out of there by 8:55 a.m. ! YAY! Hmmm......whatever shall I do with all that free time.....

A lot of things are happening that I am so unsure of.  I'm just praying for some direction so I know what path to take...and to know most importantly what He wants.

I miss you so very very much.....

Well, its that time a year again.  Lately most of my life has been devoted to something our church does called "The Judgment".  Today, as well as a few days before this, we have been working on a lava mound for the hell scene, of which I am satan... muahahaha..., and it is finally starting to look like lava.  We took paper... mache' (sp?) and did the first few layers to start, and then we just threw all of the newspaper into the paste and flour mix, ground it up into a really thick paste, and globbed it onto the structure.  It was messy... and smelly.  But it is going to be cool and you all should come out to see it.

Oh and to all who were concerned, I am feeling much better now.  Thankx for your comments.

you know what sucks

i cant remeber what i had to write about in english...

Decy's charging ahead on the preparations for move in ... for those that want to know details see below.

Monday:  Back-up generator set delivered; guard bench and table delivered; contract with 1st maid signed; received preliminary information on utilities (will remain in owners name and we will pay the bills - its an Indonesian thing ... have to be the owner of the house to have utilities in your name)

Security guards arrives on Tuesday at 6am.  Both maids and the gardner will begin working on Wednesday ... there will be lots for them to learn ... and they can keep the house clean and mop up after "all those feet" carry in furniture ... plus, they can begin washing, ironing and putting away all our clothes that have been in boxes for 4 months (Note:  The boxes are the 13 air freighted boxes; the shipment is still somewhere in the world)

Some furniture starts arriving on Wednesday - quite a bit on Thursday.  Somewhere in there the owner will deliver a washer and dryer - key to moving in ... as with 4 family members we have lots of laundry ... as it is we are paying about $75/week to keep our clothes clean ... which means we will have a nice costs savings in that regard once we move in.

I think today Decy will buy a large safe for the house ... for delivery this week.  That is, believe it or not, a critical day-1 item ... we must have a place to store/safeguard our money, jewelry, passports, key papers, etc.  Not yet sure the size of safe ... but I expect it to be 2-3 foot tall (it needs to be HEAVY ... and large). 

>>> On the downside ... somebody stole one of the axle covers off of one of our Fortuner tires/wheels. It was only a $10 item ... but as Decy says ... it is worth $2 on the street and is 2 days wages for somebody.  Sadly, this happened while the car was parked in the covered hotel parking lot that had "security".  >>> It will be good to move into our house, where this can't happen. Later this week, one of the drivers will go get a replacement cover.  FYI ... our drivers Mustafa and Yono are fantastic ... they are very competent and always looking for ways to save time and improve our efficiency ... they can easily run errands on the way to/from dropping one of us off ... soooo ... they are a Godsend !!! 

iv crossed over to the dark side

i have a myspace

I carried around my CD player today and listened to Eveanescence every chance I got. I'm now officially "rocked out".

 We're decorating for Christmas right now. Yes, we are, don't look at me like that either!!

 We have SOOOO much Christmas stuff we have to start in October to be done on time. We usually leave it up till February, because we are too lazy to take it down. I think our record for having it up was till April one year, we just didn't have time to take it all down in one day untill then.

I am super excited about CCCF this weekend.  You guys should
definately ask me about it if you are in college or a senior in high
school.  We are planning to go camping this weekend at Cedars of
Lebanon State Park.  There will be adults there just in case your
parents are wondering.  Some things that you need to bring if you are
going:

Sleeping bag and pillow
Warm clothes
A lawn chair
$7 (to cover the cost of food and site rental)
Bible (we'll be having a devotion at night)
A tent would be nice if you have one.

I don't understand what God wants in a certain situation I'm dealing with. I don't know if He's telling me to just work on the things that I can and not worry about this, or if He's telling me that I need to change this one thing about myself that I'm worrying over. Oh, I just wish I knew the answers. I really need God's wisdom and discernment. Mother tells me I shouldn't worry about it and that I just need to focus on the things I know how to work on or can do.  Please just pray for me...pray for me  to have peace about this situation and that God will help me do whatever He wants me to do. So, it's kind of been a very serious kind of day....that, and having 3 tests all in the same week is sooo not cool.

So yeah...lots of stress and anxiety is just built up in me and I don't know what to do about a lot of it.  

On a lighter note, I am soooo ready for Fall Break. It's going to be great to have some extra down time. Some friends and I are planning on seeing Aida...it's the opera version of the show, which should be really cool. It's playing at TPAC this weekend.  I saw the musical version of it at Siegel and loved everything about it. My friend David is going to be in it, so we're all going to support him. 

Hope everyone is having a great start of the week.

"when you talk do you hear it?  or is it like a big roaring between your ears?" ~~Miley

and i feel if i run a little faster,
i'll find myself, and my hidden purpose..
but all i find is an empty skyline..
where the sun has faded away..
and i still look back, peeking over my shoulder
only to find that there's no one there..
but still in fear, i push on and move forward..
if only to get further away...

no one's chasing after trying to bring me back
no one's trying to save me or making me stay on track
all i want is a thought and a word from You...
And on the darkest night, of my worst storm
I'll shield my eyes and then refuse to conform
Because in my heart, I'm living what I believe...

another night, in my broken vessle
i'm sinking hard, trying to find the surface
i'm in too deep, in this choking quicksand..
and the light is fading away..
i need you to find a little courage,
brave this curse, and my own nightmare..
and in the end you'll awake beside me
with all the darkness faded away..

and it kinda hurt

like alot

but its cute. see

and i like a boy

oh.. and paul stalked me the other night

that made me feel really special :]

Whats popping peoples

so on friday afternoon I went to the DMV and after waiting an hour and a half I got a new license with a motorcycle endorsement on it! I then proceded Ken's house where I picked up his little 400cc bike for the weekend (I left him my mustang in exchange for his generosity). Once I picked it up I took it out on the road, this being the first time that I have ever had a bike on the road I was being extra careful... I drove around town for about two hours, it was great! Yesterday I took all sorts of backroads to Woodbury and back and ended up logging over one hundred miles on some really fun and gorgeous roads. Sadly today is the last day that I have the bike, Ken is coming to get it first thing in the morning. Time to start shopping for my own.

On Saturday we wanted to go visit several places to look for electronic equipment and a printer ... Jakarta is such a "challenge" with regards to traffic and travel time ... consider ...

1045am - leave hotel ... to get massage .... 8 miles away (south of hotel) ... travel time 30-45 minutes

1130-130pm - get massage

130pm - leave massage place collect Thasya from hotel ... travel time 30-45 minutes

230pm - eat lunch - 45 minutes

315pm - travel to electronics store .... 6 miles away (north of hotel) ... travel time 30 minutes

345-530pm - in electronics store .... gazillion things on display ... but only ~10% actually in stock

530pm - leave electronics store ... travel to hotel ... arrive 630pm (1 hour) ....

.... so much for going to a second place.  Organizing one's time and optimizing travel locations/routes are absolute keys to minimizing "car time".

>>> On a more positive note, Decy and the girls went with Fairus to two production studios.  They met the key folks, put in applications, yadi yadi yadi.  We shall see what develops.  Several folks asked Decy if she wanted to get back into the business .... Decy's initial thoughts are:  (a) perhaps for commercials, (b) unlikely for soap opera ... due to time committments.

>>> Decy recieved the keys to the Palm house on Saturday.

A friend of ours from Angola is visiting this week.  Decy is spending time with her.  She says that Luanda just isn't the same anymore without Decy ... : (

>>> On Sat night, after spending the evening with Fairus, we went to an open air "cafe" ... sat on plastic stools, ate soup, and listened to some street musicians .... a most excellent experience !!!

Urggh - now off to Monday morning work.

.... in case of doubt ... Amsouth still sucks !

So this weekend was filled with GSPT reunions.  On Friday I went to Opry Mills and saw Gwen, it was great! And yesterday I went to Pigeon FOrge to see Laura Love and Jeri!!! It was amazing!!!!! WE had so much fun, Jeri is so crazy, especially when she brought up the GSPT inside jokes!  Laura L. and I spent the morning and most of the afternoon at Dollywood and that was fun, I rode Thunderhead for the first time!!! It was wickedly awesome! Jeri got off at 6 and she got us in to putt-putt for free and then into laser tag for FREE! And then we went to TGI Fridays and ate dinner, and then did the greatest thing of all, went to WAL-MART!!!  I loved it! I cant wait to go see them again!!

So ah yeah, I saved someone's life today. I found her on the side of the road just walking around and was scared half to death. Poor girl was starved and you could see her bones through her paper thin coat. I was just walking back to my house after church when some asshole stop his car at a stop sign throw the poor thing out and speed off. I took her home got her some food and water. She was scared of my dogs at first but slowly warmed up to them. She was very thankful and curled up in my arms, not making a sound but I knew she was nonetheless. I gave her a bath and realized that she really like kissing me, granted all puppies do! Yes, it is a little pit bull puppy dog and by the looks of it a few months old. Since I found her I dubbed her "Little-Bit" because that is all she is: a little bit of skin and bones. With a little food and water she will be fine.

I aslo got my senior pictures back from Michael's finally! Those people take so long on the pictures. Anyways, Rachel and I were also in the newspaper about the disaster drill. Rachel was my deaf sister and I was a crazy guy who kept on screaming for his dog named "Shotsy" and also thought he was Luke Skywalker.... Yeah, good times, good times...

hey it's laura beth i'm kinda new at this so please help me.....

later
