It's been an incredibly long time since I've posted. I apologize for taking such a long hiatus. Life is finally slowing down for a week or so. Wedding invites are in the mail - well, half of them anyway. Bagelheads is still pretty fun. I've been working "Drink & Drive" the past several weeks. That just means I'm a barista, only not at Starbucks. And I also work the drive thru. I don't get to say,

Well, school has started. That's a good place to start. My classes are alright. Nothing terribly exciting. It's going to be a lot of reading and even more writing. I'm about to head to work where I'll be training at a different position: cashier. It's more money (tips), and I'll get more interaction with people. I think it'll be fun, and, at the very least, it will be a change of pace. I'm

It seemed a little bit surreal until now, but it's kinda sinking in that I'm getting married in 4 months! 115 days to be exact. My dress came in yesterday (it only took 2 weeks). My ring FINALLY came back from being sized today. Apparently in Florida 2-3 weeks really means 5. OK, so it could be California (the company is there, but the production happens in FL). Either way, someone will get onto

Maybe... But only for a little while... By afternoon it'll start storming again... That's been the MO for the past two weeks anyway. It will be bright and beautiful and HOT for an entire morning. About an hour or two after I get home from work, though, it starts thundering- just a little rumble- then comes the downpour. But that's OK because I have good rainy day music.

Well, I fianlly have internet access at the apartment. It's really a good thing, too, because I've had very little to do after work. Jon is in North Carolina on a BCM trip, and I'm sticking it out at home. Oh yeah, I have a job now. I'm the "prep girl" at BagelHeads. Basically that means I slice meats, cheeses and veggies, and I make the cole slaw and chicken salad, etc., etc. Anyway, I have

I'm currently unemployed. I think this Pensacola thing will be nice once I get into a routine. Right now I'm just a little bit wary because navigation in this city is practically impossible.

Not all of my summer missions excitement is happening in beautiful Flomaton, Alabama. Jon, his dad and I all went with one of the local churches to Reynosa, Mexico (just across the TX border). The trip had some ups and downs, but we had a wonderful time. It was my first trip out of the country so let me share just a few glimpses into this new experience:-Not all merchandise is priced in pesos. In

It's been a while since I last updated. I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; I've just fallen into a smaller, slower part of it. Yes, my friends, I am living in beautiful Flomaton, Alabama. It's been a week since I arrived, and an incredibly busy one at that. The five other summer missionaries and myself officially started this week with Vacation Bible School at Liberty Baptist

OK, so maybe that's not exactly true. Jon did leave me, but The Carrs swooped in and saved my evening! But let's start at the beginning. Jon came up this weekend to help me load up my stuff for the move. He drove the trailer to my parents house and unloaded it all too (along with my incredibly wonderful parents:)). Isn't he great? Saturday after he left I just layed around and was lazy most of

Lately you might have noticed the up-swing/down-swing thing. Tonight was definitely an up-swing. We had a study break for the leadership team at Ben and Shauna's place. It was awesome to see everybody, some for the last time, together again. I was given such a great opportunity to serve with the people I have this year. Even at a party their passion for ministry shines through. It was great to

When did life go and become so complicated? Whatever happened to the simple days of swingsets and Ninja Turtles? When did we have to start making decisions? When did we begin to understand death and sickness? Why do we have to come to the realization that people will let us down? When did things just stop being easy?I look around me and see all kinds of darkness in this world. Yes, people die.

I'm getting bad about posting these days. Not as bad as some people I know, but bad nonetheless. I apologize from the deepest recesses of my heart. I've been looking at the general studies requirements for UWF, and let me tell you, this Gordon Rule thing is just silly. Luckily I've had a lot of classes that already cover it, but I feel for the folks who don't like writing. Hopefully all of my

I can hardly believe it's already Saturday. I'm not ready to go back to school and work. Can't I just stay here? I keep telling myself, "Only 5 more weeks. You only have to go to class 8 more times. You can make it!" I'm sitting here watching Jon sleep on my couch and I really don't want to leave him. This long distance thing is hard. There's no doubt; it just is. I know I'm not nearly as far

Yes, that is correct, I'm finally on Spring Break. And sitting here trying to figure out which super hero I would be (just for Jon) I've decided I would be "Relax", queen of the lazy and the bums. I would stun bad guys with my laid back attitude and laziness until they too were relaxed and then my piratey colleague of the superhero world would swoop in and make him walk the plank! What do you

Anyway, it's so much fun to go to Bible study and know that my girls will just laugh at me when I ramble. Tonight we had four.

Sometimes I'm just a big dork... I've been at home all day long. I woke up a little early to talk to my Jon and so I thought I would try to catch some Saturday morning cartoons. Well, these days there isn't much on besides those creepy japimation/anime cartoons. So I ended up channel surfing most of the morning then ordering a pizza for lunch. I decided I should put on something besides my PJs

Wow! This weekend was just a ton of fun. I'm absolutely exhausted, but also rejuvinated. I went to State Student Conference this weekend with Jon and the UWF BCM. The speaker was incredible, the band rocked and I met a lot of amazing people. I've been a little worried about the whole making new friends and starting in a new ministry next semester thing. But now I realize that the folks down in

Cause that's where I'm heading this weekend - Lake Yale, Florida. It's a good thing I don't have to drive and I trust Jon because I'm heading to Florida BCM State Student Conference with UWF's BCM. I know, it's random. It should be fun - nothing like a spontaneous 13 hour drive, right? Well, I'm only driving 4 1/2 of those and riding in a van the rest of the way.

I'd like to apologize for being such a jerk lately. I was reading Alisa's blog today and thinking about some of the same things she was saying. Ever since Christmas I've really been struggling with the desire for this semester to just end. I have found myself pulling away from those close to me because I don't want it to hurt so much when I leave them. I know it doesn't really make sense. I

That's something I forget a lot. Like the song says, we're to praise God when we're laughing, praise him when we're grieving, praise him every season of the soul. The flowers shine their Creator's beauty even moreso after the storm so why can't I walk through the rain and come out praising God more than before? I can, but my nasty, sinful, prideful flesh gets in the way. It's a lot easier to get

I went to Pensacola after work Friday night. Jon and Kenny and I went swing dancing. There was supposed to be a group of UWF BCM folks coming, but they couldn't make it. We definitely missed them, but still had a blast. I was turned head over heels for the dancing...:-) Saturday was, believe it or not, the 12 1/2 hour Lord of the Rings (extended version) movie marathon. Jon and I, along with his

How do you worship? Does it take a little guy with a gotee playing the guitar and a sweet power point? Does it take being in a room of young people clapping and swaying and raising their hands? Does it take a Louis Giglio a John Piper preaching? What is worship? How do you worship? Worship is not a style of music. It's not a Sunday morning, Wednesday night, youth retreat, OneDay, evangelism

I'm in a desert. Last spring in Bible study we talked about being in a desert, and that's the only way I can really describe how I'm feeling spiritually. It has taken me a while to really realize it. Things are going well. Classes are fairly easy and it looks like I'll pull up my GPA this semester, I really should never complain about work because it's really a great job, not to mention the fact

Yes, that's right... Strange things are happening in Tuscaloosa... Ashley Hayes has passed up two dinner/hanging out offers in lieu of cleaning her room! (And there was much rejoicing in Bon Secour) I worked for about 2 hours tonight, mostly hanging clothes and getting rid of others. I'm not finished yet, but I've made a significant dent. Let's just say I've had my work cut out for me and there

I hate to post when I'm feeling kinda blah because it will usually sound very negative. But at the request of my beautiful sister, who, I might add is even less consistent with her LJ;-), I'm posting. I'm really not sure exactly why I've been down lately. My family says it's because I miss Jon, and that's it to an extent. I hate being far apart. But I don't think that's all of it. I see him a

Wow! What a break - and a much needed one at that! It was great to be home for a few days with my family. Jon and I had a great time in Oklahoma. We played in the snow in Arkansas on the way and made snow angels. And had a snowball fight... kind of... I saw the "world's only main street oil well" in Barnsdall, Oklahoma. And we had a lovely Christmas with Jon's family. We stayed with his Aunt

I am terrible at taking advice. I like to think that I know it all - that I don't need other people's advice. Even when I take the time to listen to advice, I usually don't heed it until the second or third time around. Jon and I have been reading the book of Proverbs together this month. Today I came across one that hit me close to home. Proverbs 13:10 says, "Pride only breeds quarrels, but

OK, so maybe there aren't any "rumors" going around, but more by way of announcement I thought I would let my faithful blog audience know that I will be moving next fall. It was an easy yet difficult decision. I'll be heading back south to Pensacola to attend the Univeristy of West Florida. This is assuming I get accepted, of course... It'll be a sad, sad day if I don't. What is the reasoning

Glad it's over... It started out just fine - like any other day. I woke up, went to class (so maybe that part isn't so normal), ate lunch with Jordan and went to work. I realized about halfway through my work day that my article for my journalism lab is due tomorrow and I'm way behind. One of my sources had to go out of town today and another hasn't called me back. Fortunately, my lab coach is

I love the holidays! This year has been a little bit strange because we're forgoing several of our family traditions. For example, my parents had to put up the tree without Jen and I. Rob and Jen will be spending Christmas day with Rob's family, and I'll be in Oklahoma with Jon's family for most of Christmas break. I knew things would eventually change, but everything seems to be changing at the

This weekend was a ton of fun. Of course I loved spending time with my parents and with Jon, but Saturday was just such a sad day. Alabama had its best first half of the season, but they just couldn't pull out an Iron Bowl win in the second. But at least we threw Auburn's BCS standings off. Still not a good day in college football. But let's not dwell on the negatives of the weekend. I had an

No, this post is not about procrastination. Procrastination is the reason for this post. Also, for the curious I thought I would allow my faithful readers a small glimpse of my private life. The previously mentioned "man I love" statement, I'm sure, surprised some of you.:-) I'm sure it's not hard to figure out that this reference is to the also previously mentioned Jon.

I totally wasn't expecting it to be so...I don't even really know how to describe it so I'll copy Alisa and call it vintage. It absolutely rocks and, of course, gives you some food for thought and sometimes a swift kick in the rear. Now I'm off

Jon came up Thursday, and, after a long day at work, we went to see Howie Day and Nickel Creek. Let me just say that Howie Day is my hero. I had only heard clips of him on his website before Thursday and, let me tell you, they don't do him justice. It was incredible. Of

Does anyone else have those little issues, good or bad, that are constanly brought to the forefront of your thoughts? For today's purposes I'm talking about things in my spiritual life, and maybe "issues" isn't a good term for them. Lately (and by lately I mean the past year) I've been constantly reminded that God's will is superior to mine on a daily basis. Now, I know your thinking, "This is a

My APR class didn't meet today so I didn't go to reporting either (it makes sense in my head). I'm not sure what I did to kill the morning hours, but before I realized it, it was time to go to lunch. I went to Doster Cafe today. My friend, Christi, was the manager this week for her

I'm thinking about applying for summer staff with Student Life Camp for next summer. They have a position for Public Relations/Internet Reporter which would be right up my alley (another saying I'm not positive about; perhaps it's a bowling reference?). Everything I've ever seen or heard about Student Life has been great so I'm excited about the possibility. Big Dog was fun and a great starting

Another wonderful weekend. I got to spend time with a great friend, go to a beautiful wedding, miss the owrst football game ever played, and I got to hang out with my parents. Throw in a few exciting surprises and some coffee and you've got my weekend in a nutshell. I'm not exactly sure what that saying means. Where did "in a nutshell" come from?

Well, obviously the conversation had no where to go from, "She's hot!" (You have to admit, she's not a real deep subject.) The phrase that can sum up the entire conversation goes a little something like

No there is no deep spiritual reference coming from that title. It is the topic of the moments as I procrastinate studying for my geography test tomorrow. You would think that there is only so much to say about soil. But no. There are four units about soil that will be covered on this test. Throw in some zoogeography, biospheres, and rocks and you've got my least favorite class of all time.:-)

I have great friendswho will drive me across town for Chinese food and then let me spend hours at a time with them not really doing anything at all.

So this has been a crazy week... This weekend I went home to be with my parents after Ivan. I got there Friday afternoon just in time to avoid actual clean-up. I actually felt kinda bad for that, but I did help set-up chairs for Sunday. Friday evening we were all sitting around without power or water when a friend calls and tells me he and his friend got kicked off the University of West Florida

So we've made it through another hurricane. OK, so I didn't really experience much of the storm, but I think worrying about my family and friends was just as bad. The parents are fine as is the house. The church is in pretty bad shape, but praise God that no one was hurt! I'm heading down that way tomorrow to see some folks and help clean up.

Last night I went to a movie. I saw "In America" at the Bama Theater. I am writing an article about it for extra credit in my journalism class. I went to the movie alone. Did you just stop and say, "Really?" That's the reaction I got from the two people I told last night. It was a very liberating thing. Why is it strange for a young woman to go out by herself? Maybe it's because females mostly

Apparently they don't indicate any real level of difficulty. I know the JN 311 doesn't mean anything. Apparently elementary grammar skills weren't a prereq for this lab. Today we spent 10 minutes-- 10 MINUTES!-- discussing the "the" in "the University of Alabama." It was really hard for some people to comprehend that the 't' is not capitalized. 1) That's a basic grammar skill. "The" is not

I'm trying to sum up the weekend and I'm coming up with 'Football, friends, and fun.'" How bad is that? So I'm leaving it up to you, the reader, to give this blog a proper title.

So maybe they don't always get me down, but it seemed like a perfect title for this weekend. Friday and Saturday was leadership retreat at Calvary. We had a good time, but it made for a loooong weekend. I've definitely been over-churched this week. I can't wait to see what God is going to do this semester through Freshman Bible Study (which starts tonight, by the way), but I have to say between

Yes that's right; today is my birthday. Before you ask I am 19 as of 10:44 AM. TOday was also the first day of class. I have 2 classes and a lab on Wednesdays, but labs don't meet the first week so I got lucky. I had geography and sociology today. NEither one should be too unbearable.:) Tomorrow, though, is my eight o'clock. I haven't been at school at 8 AM in over a year, but somehow I'll manage

Today has just been a blah kinda day. I stayed busy at work, but it's really just not the ideal job for me. I was talking to Beau, who is an intern in the college ministry, and I told him that it's really a problem that I work for a perfectionist. I truly admire the fact that Daniel (the interim college pastor)for his perfectionism, but, as most of you know, I'm the other extreme. I just like

Today was just a good day. I'm home (in Bon Secour) this weekend to celebrate both my dad's and my birthday since both are this month. My good friends Heather and Jon came to hang out and eat lunch as did some folks from my home church and, of course, my family. One of the many highlights was getting my new laptop which I'm typing on as we speak. I'm quite pleased with it and the fact that I'll

So the college group took a trip to Atlanta this weekend. We went to a Braves game Friday night (which they lost to the Cardinals) and to Six Flags all day Saturday. The game was fun despite the disappointment, and the boys did pull themselves up Saturday with a big win. Six Flags was great fun too. I have to say, I may never be able to go back without getting one of those FastLane things that

Last night I went to the big city of Byram, MS (outside of Jackson) to see Todd Agnew play. I knew that it might be the date they played with Jeremy Camp. I get there and not only is Jeremy Camp there, but Seven Places and Sanctus Real were also rockin'. Todd opened; I'll post the set list below for anyone interested. Of course he was amazing (as was the band). After watching Seven Places I went

I'm going on a mini-road trip tomorrow. I am going to see Todd Agnew in Byram, MS. Sadly, I'm going by myself. It's OK though; I'll still have a blast because it's Todd (and the band) and this will mostly make up for missing them both times they'll be in Alabama this month. Jeremy Camp might also be there so that more than makes up for it. The Freshman Mail Out is finally done! There will be no

...and it's only Saturday! Yesterday was, well, it was a day. It started off on a great note. Jennifer and I went to Starbucks (oh, how I had missed it) for breakfast. We just sat on the couch and chilled for a little while before she had to go to Wal-Mart. So I decided I'd go into to work earlier than I'd planned. Let's note that Friday was SUPPOSED to be my day off this week since I worked

...of a change of scenery. I can only take so much of staring at a computer screen and even less of Microsoft Publisher. I just hope everyone who gets a freshman welcome letter and brochure from Calvary Baptist Church has both framed and hung in a prominent place over their fireplace. This morning when I got to work, I found that I had somehow lost the brochure that I had taken so long to

Last night I was talking to Angie, one of my fellow staffers from camp (here I go again). We were talking about different things, and she told me that she heard an incredible quote in her small group time Sunday night. It was so good that I had to write it down, and it is definitely blog-worthy. I don't know what book it came from or even who wrote it, but it is this: "Where your passion and

Now that I'm finally back to civiliazation, I suppose it's time for a real blog post. I probably won't stop talking about camp for a very long time so you'll just have to bear with me. Kids' camp was another great experience. If for no other reason, it's the best birth control ever invented. It is once again proof that I am not called to children's ministry. But as different and as hard as it was

Who says a southern Baptist girl can't handle change? Camp is over. I'm back home and as of today moved into a new apartment with a roommate I don't know. I's should make for an interesting year. No internet at the new place yet so I'm posting from Jen and Rob's. Maybe I'll have something more tomorrow. THere's so much to tell about camp that I just can't process it right now!:)

Week 2 of Big Dog Camp is over. It was an incresible week. I've never experienced anything like it before. We had around 75 students. 7 made public decisions to accept Christ for the first time. They were huge decisions. To be peerfectly honest some of the kids were scary when they first got off the bus. One group was almost completely dressed in black with piercings and crazy colored hair.

It all started Friday night. I went with a friend to the David Crowder, Mercy Me, and Michael W. Smith (cringe) concert. My sister me very much, and entered me in a contest to win a guitar signed by the artists. Guess what? I won! Yes, I am the proud owner of a new Dean guitar-- it's really similar to my other one except for the fact that it's autographed by all of MercyMe and the David Crowder

I think I just had way too much activity for one weekend...I got home around 6:30 on Friday and went straight to the church for VBS family night. It was great. There were 30 or 40 kids there and they did so good on their musical. Saturday morning I got up and went bowling with the children's department. My mom is the children's director at the church and she has planned events throughout the

I wasn't going to do this, but I've decided that some people are just too great not to blog about. How many people can sit for hours in a coffee shop playing Monopoly and still like you when you've bankrupted them? And how many people let you just let yourself into their house and talk about giving you key because you make yourself at home anyway? How often do you meet someone who has 60+

It's been a while since my last post, I know, but there really hasn't been all that much going on. My parents came up yesterday to help us play musical apartments. Jen and Rob are going to be moving in to my apartment, we'll be living together until the second week of July when I go to camp, then I'll come back and move into a new apartment. For now pretty much everything I own is going into

...and nothing exciting to update you with. There hasn't been much going on this week. Scott moved Monday. Hopefully they are settling in nicely at their new, and apparently rather large, home. It's really a very exciting thing for him and the family. Speaking of family, I'm going home this afternoon for Father's Day weekend. We almost didn't celebrate because I thought I would have to kill my

I know you know that already. Today I visited the GSH three, count 'em THREE, times. I used to make fun of the people who came and hung out at work after they quit. Of course, that was at Souvenir City, and I just made fun of most locals who came in that store who weren't employees. Anyway, the first time was to pick up Alisa's key to her apartment so I can check on Emma this weekend while she's

The other day Alisa let me borrow a book that she's been telling me I need to read and that I've really been meaning to pick up or borrow. It's Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I read a little bit last night as I was waiting for Jen and Fuge to meet me for ice cream and I ran across this line on page 13: "If [Satan] can sink a man's mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God."

I love rainy days. I don't know why exactly. There's something about sitting on the porch or balcony and watching the rain. I could sit for hours just sitting there with my thoughts or a good book enjoying the sound and the smell and the feeling of rain. I think God gives me rainy days when he wants me to slow down. There isn't much you can do on a rainy day. It's always a pain to go out so,

Everyone seems to be leaving. Carla left today for Orlando. Scott is leaving in two weeks. Alisais leaving at the end of the month. It's really going to be a very sad June. Alisa and Carla have become such good friends; who am I going to hang out with on Sunday nights?:) Third roomie time will be just a thing of the past...Is there something wrong with Tuscaloosa?

Don't eat dirt. No, really. You wouldn't think that would be something I would worry about, but it's a very important concept. Sunday night on the drive home I was listening to Everybodyduck. One of the songs on "Eight Seconds on a Holy Cow" is called "Doug Eats Dirt." Let me explain. We are all taught from the time we're little that eating/drinking certain things will harm you. We know that if

Some of you know what I did last summer. I taught eight Vacation Bible Schools. The Great Kingdom Caper was solved every time and, believe me, if I never drink hot tea again it will be too soon. "Why did I do this?" you may ask. My official title was Baldwin Baptist Associational VBS Missionary. Churches all over the county requested a missionary (there were three of us) who would come and assist

I'm really not sure why, maybe it's because I was raised on them, but I really enjoy sci-fi shows. As much as I pick on my dad for watching Stargate Monday every Monday night and knowing way too much about SG-1, it's really a fun show. Ever since I can remember, we've watched Star Trek, Quantum Leap, and pretty much anything that comes on the sci-fi channel. I contributed to my dad's obsession by

Today I was in Winn-Dixie with Jennifer getting stuff to dip in chocolate. She needed to get tater tots for dinner, one of my favorite potato dishes ever. We walk over to the frozen food section and she grabbed a bag. But are they called tater tots? No, they call them tater treats! Now, potatoes are definitely my comfort food, but never, ever would I call them treats! Tater tots are not a treat.

Ah, Nashville... This weekend was great! Alisa and I ventured out from our small town life to take a trip to the big city. Here's the recap: We roamed around downtown taking lots of fun pictures that you can see here. Then, two circles around town later, we headed to Trey and Laura's house where we would find shelter (but no food) for a couple of days. A Sandra show was suggested but sadly we
