"I must live in His presence, commune with Him continuously and seek to know His mind. Unless I have seen something there with God, I have nothing to say here to men. May the Lord be merciful to us that we may forever live before God and fear Him."

Oh my gosh...words can't even describe!
Today (well, yesterday now. I missed the midnight mark.), I have seen the best in people. I've gotten the most thoughtful and creative gifts and have been told the most thoughtful and heartfelt things I have ever experienced! I am seriously overwhelmed with today. So eventful, so SURPRISING (Pappasitos? WHAAA?)! SO MUCH MORE than I imagined. Ah, I still can't get over it. Everything is amazing. Amazing. AMAZING! There have been several times today where I have wanted to cry (out of happiness, not sadness, of course), LOTS of times where I have danced and smiled and laughed! :) All the great things about emotions have shown themselves today. All the great things about friends and people have shown themselves today. Just halfway through today, before the BIGGEST part, I remember thinking, "I am unworthy!", and feeling bad because I've never done anything so amazing for anyone else. And then Pappasitos! (SUPWWIIIIIZE!) ugh. CAMERA!!!! So excited. Sigh. I will post more details later, and PICTURES, definitely. Right now I am just too much at a complete loss of words. I really believe that God has spoken to me through people, songs (BLUE SKIES!! by Point of Grace. my first song to hear as a 16 year old. AMAZING.), nature, and actions today. It's so refreshing. Ahh. A new era. Hope. Love. Peace. Joy. I can't believe it!
Thank you SOOOO much, everyone who contributed to make this day the BEST EVER.
p.s...I'm officially on the market! ;)

Officially 5 days left!
I'm kind of excited, kind of scared. Kind of sad. Mostly because Andrew, Mama, Papa, and Shannon aren't going to be there this Saturday for the big "bash" in San Antonio (and I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad, haha. Just the truth). They will certainly be there in spirit.
Kind of scared that this will all go by too fast.
Mainly excited though :) As long as my little head doesn't get in the way, it should be a fun one! And one to remember.
That's what I want for my birthday. A day without thinking. A day to fully enjoy without thought.

Yesterday and the day before I watched Because I Said So (eh, 3 stars), Two Weeks Notice (cute! 4 stars), The Devil Wears Prada (4 stars), and dun dunn... A Walk to Remember! (5 stars, duh.)
And then I also watched Win a Date with Tad Hamilton...haha, I forgot how cute that movie is.
This morning there was all this crisis and confusion about how me and zach and taylor had to go be in big church or whatever for the VBS thingie...a lot of miscommunication, lack of communication, whatev...and Randy was, obviously, kind of upset. And so, of course, I felt really bad. And then I was really nervous about the big church part. I don't know, everything was kind of shaky. But big church ended up going pretty well and then Kasey's message in 249 was really really good and God worked everything out, and several people accepted Christ in the Jr High side. That was neat. And I think that that was one of our best set thingies we've had in a long time. And then the picnic was really fun...so hot, and the long socks that I had on did NOT help, but it was cool.
Came home, took a really long nap, decided to give myself a break and not go to ministry night tonight...and, of course, they apparently had like this long important discussion. Sigh. I always miss the crucial things! Eh, oh well. I'll be filled in at some point I'm sure.

WHEW...this week has been busy busy. Fun, eventful...and I'm REALLY glad that I'm not collectively lazy this summer...but I can't tell you how excited I am to have absolutely NOTHING to do tomorrow!
I've made a pact with myself- I'm going to stay in my pj's all day and eat a lot and watch mooovies. and probably some ALIAS trickled in there : ) Me and daddy went to Blockbuster today and I got myself 4 solid movies. Already watched one! I am very psyched about this day ahead of me. Ahhh...

I really really really REALLY want to watch A Walk to Remember right now. bethany claims that it's not lost, but I haven't found it in like months. Sigh.
Nothing really to report. I just always feel a certain urgency to post after not posting for a couple days.
