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.

Had a great family vacation in Florida.

We went skim-boarding.  Here's getting ready to throw the board:

Here's me laughing off the pain after i wiped out:

We flew a kite:

ate at fun restaurants:

built a sand castle:

went putt putting:

we even swam all the way out to the sand bar(about 300 yards out) to look for sand dollars. we didnt stay to long cause it was 12 feet deep and we were being pulled out to sea once we got out there.

but yeah...overall it was a great vacation.  I'm glad to be back, but i will certainly miss the beach  ;-)

Going to Florida for the week on vacation with my family! :-D wohoo!!

these past 4 weeks have been great!  It started with vbs at my church where i got to help teach missions with my dad.  Then the next week was bonaroo.  I had the oppertunity to minister to hundreds of people that went to bonaroo.  Many i got to talk to and build somewhat of a relationship with and try to fit a gospel presentation somewhere in the conversation.  Others i just got to hand out a bible and a frisbee with a track on the back of the disc. 

Then i got to go be a counselor at SuperWow(the camp that our youth group goes to every year and Fort Walton beach FL)  Yeah so we pretty much have the most amazing youth group ever.  Seriously, they are awesome!

Then i got to be a counselor at centri kids.  That was really fun cause i'm pretty much a big kid anyways.  I had the oppertunity to encourage some of our upcomming youth to get involved in our youth ministry so that was cool.

Then after camp i spent 4 hours in terrible traffic to head to Dickson to see Dani.  But yeah, it was definately worth it.  We went to see pirates of the Caribbean which and it was hilarious!  Go see it!  You wont have as good company as i had, but you should still go see it.  Then we went to see a wheat threashing and ate saw how they make flour and cornmill.  it was really cool.  Then Dani took me to the farm.  we skipped rocks, ate watermellon and waded out in the water.  It was beautiful!  three hundred acres of undeveloped land surrounded by hills and trees.  She found a rock that looked like a heart and gave it to me. hehehe Dani gave me her heart of stone:

So now i'm home for a week, then i'm headed back to Florida for our family vacation.  Fun stuff.

so my mom and grandma wanted to go "girl shopping" so they dropped me off at Kent Stanton music store.  I got to play some gorgeous taylor guitars:

My personal fav being the one on the top right of this pic:

yeah that would be a 614ce...currently my favorite acoustic guitar on the market though ive havent played the new gs series yet.

good times...

Can time warp forward about three weeks?...cause thatd be great. :-)  One of yall smart computer nerds needs to work on creating a time machine of some sort.

The process was slow and painful for the poor fellow:

He was a good...no, great snowman.  We shall miss you Gigantor.  May you rest in peace.

I got a couple new things that i'm going to enjoy very much :-D

First:  I got a very nice new racqetball racquet.

Second(and infinately better and more important than the first):  I got a new car! Woooooo!  2003 Mustang!! :-D

Which File Extension are You?

haha...it siad i was pretty.

I was in a car wreck.  Here is how it happened:

  There were two semi's in the emergency lane, a car beside me in the slow lane, and me in the left lane.  The two semi's were trying to merge back onto the right lane which forced the car beside me to swerve into my lane.  fortunately, i was paying attention and saw it, so i swerved into the median.  Then i saw a bright yellow light...no it wasnt the light at the end of the tunnel.  it was the reflector at the end of gaurd rail.  so i cut the wheel hard left to try and avoid it, but instead, my car turned a 180 and my trunk smashed into the gaurd rail at 77ish mph and spun me into the middle of the median. 

I feel very lucky that it turned out the way it did.  I hit a gaurd rail going to fast and walk away with only a sore neck from whip lash.  if i hadnt been paying attention, i probably would be in the hospital right now. 

And just to let you know there are still good samaritans in the world.  A guy that saw the crashed, stopped to make sure i was ok, called the cops, and waited untill they got there.  he also said he would tell the insurance company that it wasnt my fault if i needed him to.  later, a nurse stopped and made sure i was ok, and even later another man stopped to make sure i was ok also.

Thank you Jesus for protecting me.

so yeah, now maybe i wont have to explain it to as many people...

We set up two liters and bowled with frozen turkey at the BCM all nighter! :-D 

Lots of fun and laughs!

Yeah so me, daniel, and my dad built this beast today.  We named him "Gigantor"  he's about 7 1/2 ft.

I've loved getting to hang out with Trinity's youth group.  So many new people!  I poured so much of my life into that ministry when i was in high school.  I was really worried what would happen to some of the ministries that i led.  But God is faithful!  New leaders rose and took control of the ministry :-)  I love seeing christians grow and be willing to serve!

There is a youth internship that will be opening up this summer at Trinity that i am going to apply for.  The youth minister said said he would recommend me, so if the church votes me in then that will be my job this summer.  The position would be working with middle schoolers.  I was going to get a job this summer anyways, but this internship would be a dream come true.  I'm so excited this oppertunity!  Again...God is faithful!

"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

Me and some friends went hiking today.  Lots of fun ;-) 

Yeah so after i waded across the water, allison was supposed to throw me my shoes.  however, it "got caught on her finger" and she threw it straight up in the air and plop...right into the water.  Yeah...i had to hike all the way back with one soaked shoe. 

That's ok though...she fell in and got more wet than me!  muhaha

Feel free to check out more hiking pics on my pictures :-)
