Since Wendy never blogs...

I thought it my duty, as the younger sister, to spread her good news. My sister, after six years of enduring and perservering through the good, bad, and ugly of singlehood, has a boyfriend. She and Michael Riley began courting on Sunday evening (march 26). Wendy's decision six years ago to give up dating and perusing guys in exchange for waiting for a purposeful dating relationship led by God, paved the way for my own convictions about relationships. Thanks Wendy, you're a great big sis. And I'm super excited for you. I'll defiantly keep you two in my prayers.

P.S. Yeah, i know you've probably already heard...

old cheetos are still cheesy

ya know that feeling where you just kinda feel like you suck at life? the one where you feel like you are failing misserably at everything you are doing, trying to do, or would hope to do. yeah it kinda stinks. kinda being an understatement. it sorta makes you want to be rather melancholy and unmotivated. gloom city here i come. those are never fun days. boo...i am falling asleep in the hall way. i think that means i need to go to bed. bah! :( wow that was more depressing then i remember. that would be me early sunday morning i think...stopping and talking to/quieting yourself before God can do some amazing things. which is what i did sunday night. wow...i felt so much better afterwards. i didn't really get any direct answers to my questions but i did get peace, lots and lots of peace. i like that feeling. i also like walking in the rain without an umbrella. like today, oh what fun, even if it was kinda cold it was still amazing!! :) and i am super excited for thunderstorms!! i LOVE thunderstorms... i also had to go to design on sunday night so on my way to talk to God i was quite frustrated and depressed and the cd i had in my car had eisley and dashboard on it. i love eisley but i definitly wasn't in the mood for cheerful happy music, i wanted to be mad/sad, so i skipped ahead to dashboard, screaming infidelities, i enjoyed it, probably too much screaming sounded like a lot of fun at the moment. but anyway on my way back from design i skipped back to eisley and had great fun listening to their cheerfulness. :) yeah! and now i need to shut up...homework and sleep, sleep and homework my life for the rest of this week. i am guessing more on the homework side. boo.

ISAIAH 40:28-31 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

note to self

work on this

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you
may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault
in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine
like stars in the universe.

Philippians 2:14-15

it kinda sounds like my brain exploded

just to warn anyone reading this, this is going to be a very random post. watched part of the oscars tonight...super excited that crash won best motion picture of the year...i liked that movie lots. i saw red eye for the first time sat. night, super intense and it really made me want to get stilettos. i got to hang out with friends a lot this weekend too which was super cool. saw pride & prejudice in the $ theatre it was beautiful, pretty houses and scenery...very nice indeed. i had a bit of an odd week, my brain was kinda spacey and seemed to want to be in its own world. but i was thinking of past times and being with lots of people and how it is strange yet still makes sense that you can be with a lot of people yet still feel very alone. i know i have experienced it in the past. i have been very unmotivated this past week or two to really do much of anything. which is a very bad thing i need to work very hard to get in gear so that i don't cause mass insanity after spring break. one of my classes got done last thursday and i have another one that after break i only have four more times, final included...i am very excited about that fact but i am not looking forward to our final...art history is generally not very nice to me. i fidget...a lot...i have a very hard time sitting still and in one position for very long. i also keep wanting to put three spaces between each sentence. i really want to live in ames this summer but i have to find a job to be able to and i am scared that i won't find one. i even have a roommate to live with and i am super excited about the chance to live with her because i think it would be a lot of fun and could be really good for both of us. i am very thankful for the fact that i am not graduating yet, i really don't think i could handle that yet so it is good that i have more school left even though i am getting really tired of school in general. i love being here and i love where i live it is just really easy to get burned out on the work. last night me and christy returned some movies and it was all foggy and cool looking out and we had some perfect mood tunes on the radio all soft and mysterious...i really wanted to go visit the cemetery but i could not...it was fun though...i am so excited for the first thunderstorm oh i love thunderstorms. me and my sister used to sit in our living room on the couch with our faces up against the window to see the lightning when we were little and we always got told to move further away...but yes thunderstorms are sweet. and it's break!!!!!!!!!!! for me anyway...i have no classes on fridays, which is basically FANTASTIC and last week was my last thursday night class :) so today i got done with class at 12:20:) and both of my hips just popped...*sigh* no classes til the 20th. oh what a feeling...
