inclement weather notice

7:05 got up and got ready
7:12 looked outside and saw snow
7:17 turned on the tv
7:20 back in bed, fast asleep

I absolutely love those inclement weather notices ;) Now after a nice lunch I'm all bundled up again in my warm soft pajamas and watching movies on tv. What a wonderful way to continue an already great weekend :D Went to the Helser's on Friday night and David, Brian, Stephen, Marshall, Jessie, Jacob and Rhett all ended up hanging out with Johnny and Melissa and a couple others. Cadence decided that everyone needed waffles and bananas, yes, he is the coolest kid ever. Drove to Charlotte for a playday on Saturday, the team did okay, especially considering we were missing about half the team, and I felt like I did really well. Had to do lots of driving though, but it was so nice to get to know some of the other girls on the team better, I really hope our team bonds more than we did last year, hopefully we will : ) I was a bit bummed though because I found out I didn't get captain...and a junior did...oh well, I think the coach will see she didn't make the best decision, and thats cool. Then I had a great evening with David and went to dinner with his family. Sunday we just hung out and then he headed back home and I went to Durham to practice with my sister's a cappella group at Duke! Gotta get all ready for the Houston trip!!

Hehe, I cant believe march is almost here and that month is just gonna fly by. I'm so so soooooo ready to graduate. But I'm kinda nervous and all about college...its scary!! It'll be okay, I'm sure because I have my Jesus to keep me safe, but I still get nervous and worried. Any new thing in life is scary. But I really cant wait to figure out where I'm going and meet my roommate and all that fun stuff!! But until then I'm just holding on until May 28th... : ) and now its back to enjoying my wonderful day off : D Geez do I love the winter! : )

one lucky girl

So, this weekend, my First love asked me to spend time with Him!!!! I am SO excited, I mean, its not like its the first time He has asked, but He finally got through, and I'm setting aside a lot of time for Him. I hate that I haven't set aside enough time in the past for my Jesus, but I definitely am going to spend a lot of my weekend with Him.

I love to reflect on how beautiful creation is and especially on how beautiful relationships can be, most of that between a man and his wife. God created it to be a tiny representation of the love and relationship He has for us, the beautiful romance which develops into a much more profound and deeply rooted love and caring and respect. Oh man, I can't wait until I get to taste that small bit of God's love and goodness, it is going to be so amazing to discover such new depths of God through my husband. I can't wait to meet him, if i haven't already, whoever he is. I just know I am going to be one lucky girl. One really lucky girl : ) But for now my true Beloved gets my weekend : ) I am such a lucky girl.

who wants a golden afternoon?

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it was generally uneventful for me. David and I had our little celebration on Sunday, so that was nice, and wonderful. I have no idea why God decided to bless me with the best boyfriend that a girl could dream of, let alone ask for, its amazing. So now there is a dozen of beautiful red roses making my bedroom smell wonderfully rosey : ) yay. I didn't get any carnations at school, but I like my roses better anyway. I'm not seeing Davey for two weeks, and its only day two...its gonna be rough. I know I ought to get used to it, but still, I want to see my boyfriend. *sigh* oh well, i'm hopefully going to Chapel Hill on friday to see Sam, so that will be so great because its been forever since I saw her!! I mgiht swing by and see my sissy too!!! : D i'm also uber-pumped because Marlee and Lizzie are gonna be staying with me for The Awakening, and i havent seen Lizzie in a million years and Marlee since last fall! so yayyayyay! life is exciting, lacrosse has finally started and that should prove to be fun, and very time consuming, but its so so so great, I cant wait to get on that field and just play. anyways, life is good. i'm not seeing david next weekend like i said, which is a bummer, but i think i'm gonna have a really fruitful weekend, plus david might find some surprises waiting for him at his house...who knows? certainly not me. anyways, i'm generally just rambling and my painful calves are keeping me from having any deep, philosophical thoughts, sorry guys. ; ) i love all of you and hope you're all well : D love!

I am so lucky to have him for a boyfriend, so lucky. he jst wont believe me when i tell him that, but i'll get through eventually :) i love my blue-eyed boy.

God is so good

life is really interesting. i find it interesting how all the minuscule and minute facets of what happens to us is somehow consolidated into a tiny little word, life. but all of those facets can be so completely different. and often i find myself wondering how life can have so many opposing emotions involved in it, but then i remember what life is made up of. life is amazing. its like a thriving entity, and i don't mean the person, but the life itself is an entity. and so it makes sense, i guess, that life can be so wonderful and practically unbearable at the same time. i dont know how it happens, but it does, all the time. I find it weird how happy i can be in some moments and how devastated the next. all i know is that even though life is full of unknowns and ups and downs and everything, God is my constant, He never changes and supports me, guides me, and loves me always. thats the only way i can make it through the not-so-happy times. My Jesus, thank You, for helping me get through everything, how would I ever make it without You? I have no idea, but thank You for being so amazing. : ) wow, God is so good.
