My Day Off

This weekend was so fun. It was the first weekend our new pastor spoke and he did a phenomenal job. I really enjoyed it and we even had a picnic for him and his family after church yesterday. There were so many people there. We had a chili cook off and it was the youth department's job to judge the chili. I got the coolest hat to wear. Wess, I think I might have to send it to you though.

Today is my day off and yet I'm stuck in this office for a few. I was told yesterday that I had to teach a seminar on Sunday (and for the next 4 Sundays) on hermeneutics. Plus I was asked to drive on a rafting trip for the high school seniors this weekend. We'll see what happens. I think it's be pretty dope to go rafting this weekend.

My car might be ready tomorrow, if she pays up. The only down side to that is I don't have an excuse to get rides from blue eyes now. I got to hang with him all weekend and that was fun. The more time I spend with him and the more I learn about him the more I like him...Maybe I should stop.

Kung Fu Hustle

I went to dance class last night and got my butt kicked. The dance was so fast! I had to improvise, there was no way any of us could do the dance that fast. So after dance Katie and I went to her house and watched some home videos. Home videos are the greatest, as long as I'm not in them. It's funny to see other people growing up, especially when you didn't know them back then. We decided we needed to actually leave the house and called Danny. We went and saw Kung Fu Hustle after having some yummy ice cream. It was great fun. I seriously enjoyed that movie so much.

It's J.D.'s 11th birthday. Kids, they grow like weeds. I get to spend the day in good ol' Fillmore.

Which character are you?

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm so, so, scared! You know you remember that episode. I wonder why Jessie and Zac never got together?


Which "Saved By The Bell" Character Are You?

The Greatest of All

This morning opened my eyes to a lot of things. I had lifegroup at 6:30 am and after only about 4 hours of sleep I was not so willing to get out of bed and go. But I did and I'm glad I did. I casually mentioned how I wish one of the guys would hang out with some of the guys I hang with so that they might learn some manners from him. This has been bugging me for the last week. It's not that I want to be miss princess but I see the man opening doors and what not as a sign of respect and that doesn't happen so much around here. Anyway, after an hour and a half of conversation about this I've come to the conclusion that it isn't just about manners. It's about servanthood and putting others before our self. It is about character, but not just because he's the man and that's what he should do to show respect and good character. He should do it because he wants to serve. Man, this makes it even a bigger deal. I also realize that I can't have a judgmental attitude about it and I don't think I do but wow...

Last night was youth group and all that jazz. The night went well and although I tried to stalk the girls we thought were smoking in the bathroom I had no luck catching them. So it's still a mystery, who is smoking in the bathroom? We went to Friday's after and I got to talk to blue eyes all night...He doesn't open doors though...That's another issue :) At around midnight we were ready to go except my boss thought it was a great night to take some of us to "gravity hill." It was windy, dark and a cemetery. I wasn't scared really, there was one point I was a little creeped out though. Out of nowhere this guy appears on the side of the road. He came out of the bushes with his dog and had this creepy smile. So there's this tree you have to get out and touch. Really, not a big deal and I willingly did it first. It was fun but I'm tired now!

I've fallen in love...With a jeep. Oh man she's a beaut! The girl who hit my car has finally agreed on a body shop and now I'm just praying I don't get jipped in some way. I was thinking about maybe selling the car once it's fixed and taking a look at this sweet jeep. Oh, it's gorgeous!

Now listening to "Guero" by Beck

That's what's on the I-pod at the moment. It's a good record, check it out. I'm still dealing with the girl who hit my car. Urgh! There hasn't been too much going on with me. Right now I have this feeling like life sucks. You know? But it's been awesome to see and know that knowing God is a true source of joy. Joy isn't dependent on circumstances. My family is going through a hard time, I'd appreciate prayers for them. That's all I really have time for right now. PeAcE.

My nightmare

So this whole accident thing has given me a headache and I've had to deal with a not so nice or loving person. So my question this morning at lifegroup was, can I take her to court? That's what it's looking like. I'll just drive with the duct tape until God provides something else.

Last night I was asked to sit on a panel in the high school group and do some apologetics. I was so nervous! It wasn't like I was scared to answer these questions but I was so nervous being up there. The good ol' question of is drinking alcohol a sin came up. One person spoke up quickly with a yes and I spoke up just as quickly with a no. Maybe now I'll be known as the lush but I think I defended my position pretty well.

I hung out with friends last night and we caught up on some t.v. we had missed while on spring break camp. I really enjoy this group of friends...But I wonder why I'm the only girl invited?

I think I'm gonna take some time off today. I have errands to run and things to do. I'd love to just sit and read too. Is anyone reading anything good right now? I'm almost done with Donald Miller...Good stuff.
