| Update: Life is good, sometimes mundane and uneventful but overall pretty enjoyable. I am home for the summer nannying for a family that in the beginning I thought was paying me too much to play with their children; but have now come to understand someone who stays home with three boys cooking, cleaning, entertaining, cleaning up puke (thats right) and changing dirty diapers can not get paid "too much".. It makes me appriciate mothers especially "stay at home moms" and makes me realize I dont want children for a loooooong time. But I must admit the boys do crack me up!
I am also part time at the Limited again.
I am trying to save money to pay off my computer, a credit card bill, and have money to go back to school with therefore going out is pretty much non-existant but I do hang out the with girls frequently which I miss all too much.
I have spent some good quality time with the bros and their lady friends as well. Particularly Morgan- we pretty much hang out all day when I am around.
Summer got off to a rough start because it took awhile to get into work and into a routine and because I was home and not in the crusade community I am used to I didn't feel adequate or purposeful and pretty much useless but God changed my heart and attitude and has used me in ways I didn't expect.
This past weekend I was in Chicago for Keith's engagement! YAY I love that cutesy stuff and it was fun to be a part of as well as just to hang out with Rachel, Joe, and Andy and it was great to see Keith and get to spend some quality time together catching up and talking about some important stuff on Sunday. It was a great reminder of what the Lord did last summer and how He is continuing to work on us and mold us.
Matt and I are still together. 5 months and going strong. It seems like way more than 5 months (in a good way). I think its because we have been through a lot together and the relationship just developed and grew quickly. He amazes me and I am so blessed by him. He is in Orlando for the summer on project and although he is five states away I feel we are still growing closer, and more importantly closer to God. He rocks.
And for all yall who want an updated (ok so from awhile ago) pictures he it is:

| Ok so it has been awhile I have a quite some stuff to update one... first and foremost...(drumrole please)...
1.) Matt and I are official! Yes that is right, we are a couple, Finally. We are happy,
I am happy. Its very natural and it feels great. He is great. Here's a
pic of us from conference...
2.) I told my mom theres a big chance I might be going to France this
summer on project. Thats right, that would mean I would not be on my
family vacation to Hawaii... Shes sad about that but said if I make the
decision that I am being led to France she would support me. Itll be
hard not to be with my fam on vacation in the beautiful Hawaii I
admit.. But it also be great to be with Ann (and many other fine folks)
living in the beautiful country of France for a summer.
3.) I told my mom I'm thinking about interning or stinting with crusade
after college. I told her maybe Chicago. I explained my passion for
what I do and told her I'm seriously thinking about full time ministry.
Thats right, Im slowly coming out of ministry denial. Big
step. She was actually supportive... It was a rough convo but she said
shes supportive and she felt it coming all along.... funny how that
works, I was scared to tell her but she already knew.
So those are the bigger things going on in my life. Pretty great I
guess. I will update on smaller things later. Im going to try to update
more, Ive been told I need to.

| WARNING: This is going to be long. Ok so IM 21!!! Weird, I got old
fast. Anyways break has been so great thus far, hanging with the girls,
late nights with cor, hanging out with OU kids, hanging out with the
OUalum gang... all that good stuff. I also have been sick most of
break, I have been healthy for the past two days and thats about it...
so besides that good stuff.
Limited has been great, sometimes the hours go slow but generally I
love it, pretty much because the people I work with rock. And now Jaime
works there Big Plus.
My birthday was great, I worked but afterward went to Smokey Bones with
Lisa, Jordan, Bill, Shannon, Sadie, and Jake. It was fun I got a big
piece of cake. Monday night I went to a great restraunt called Mary
Kelleys with my girls and cor and had a drink and a steak with mashed
potatoes, yum... I got a digital camera from my parents, the book Wicked from Matt, and a fun little city girl gift from my brothers gf Erin which I pretty much love.
Jen came up yesterday to spend some time with me, partly for my
birthday among other reasons, we had dinner with christy, chad, and
matt, then watched a movie with matt, we went shopping this morning,
went to lunch and had some drinks, and she left.. it is just what i
needed a little dose of jen.
Random: I have now caught up with the rest of the world and seen the first three Harry Potters. yikes.
I am going to Chicago on the 26-28 and Im going to see Wicked!
and that means Kristoffer. Yes thats right. Then off to Indy Christmas
Conference it will be very different this year but amazing as well I
suspect.
Im ready to go back to um Athens. Not school but Athens. If 2005 were a
book in my life here would be the chapters :January-May: Fear
May- August: Stretching
August- December: Liberation
And I'm ready to close that book and it put it on a shelf and start a
new year. 2005 was made up of so many ups and just as many downs. For
every three little steps forward there was a giant step back it felt
like this year. No consistancy, no stability, no security, yet I grew
up. This was no doubt a year of growth. And more importantly a year of
FAITH, faith through it all...If anyone were to tell me I would be
where I am now a year ago or tell me of the things I experienced this
year, I would have laughed and thought they were crazy. It is crazy.
And I survived every inch of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Welcome 2006, Im ready.

| I got a job at The Limited at Tuttle..... great job, tough location... but Im sure it will all work out.
Life has been no doubt extremely odd, constantly hitting up with
surprises and curve balls. I have probably seen about all of my ex's
and old best friends in the past 48 hours at random unexpected places,
the mall, the atm, walmart... all those fun places. I haven't been
sleeping much considering Im back with the girls + cory which for those
who know, are pretty much my life at home. I have been with April and
Cory everyday since Tuesday so which makes me reminescent of the old
days when the three of us would spend every second attached at the hips
driving around in my car (at the time I was the only one old enough to
drive) or sitting on my couch every night doing nothing (which
has not changed in the slightest). Jaime and I hung out all day today,
shopping for jobs, sitting at her place, treating our bodies to $30
worth of Chilis chips and queso which is later more of a punishment and
then hanging with the rest of the crew. It was great to spend some
quality time with her, someone who really understands my situation in
life and can relate and by sensitive to it. Lets just say although my
college friendships might be different than that of my girls+cor that
does not make them any less meaningful or deep as I learned many people
so casually assume (as I think I did once as well). I have learned over
the past four years and more importantly this past year, that no matter
what I have these girls. I have Cor. I have noticed that we will pick
up and do anything for eachother. I have seen it time and time again.
That there is an endless amount of support, love and acceptance
in this group, even though we are the most diverse group of friends.
Its comforting to know I have that, no matter how long I am away at
school or how long we are split up. We all migrate our way back to my
couch for winter.... and summer for that matter. No matter where we all
end up, NYC, Chicago, DC, Hilliard.... this is a family of sorts... a demented one, but a family none the less.... this is home.

| Ok so In about 30 hours I am going to be at home with some of my favorite people....
Cory and my girls (including APRIL)!. I am preparing to be home
although I don't have a job yet I am still excited, I need a break, and
I need to get out of Athens and gain some perspective. Although Im not
necessarily excited for the holidays, I am excited to see everyone. I
am excited to be with my family. I am also getting ready for the
Hurricane relief trip. I wish I was more excited, Im sure as the trip
approaches I will get excited.  
Just a look to see how far we have come.... wow....
