what in the world is going on in my head

what a week!!!!  

i can't begin to tell of all that's happened over the past week.  i can say that i went to charleston, played frisbee in the rain, skimboarded, got a cold, made an indiana jones video, and missed every single class today because i feel like a blindfolded sloth stuck in slow motion.

also, i finished the book "What Came From Within!"  by andy stanley.  it talks about four monsters that are always attacking your heart....anger, guilt, jealousy, and greed.  i didn't realize how much junk i had swimming around in my heart until this book...he holds nothing back with pin-pointed questions.  it was a painful book to read at times!  i thought i was doing so good in my Christiany life, then God goes and shows me that there is so much MORE out there, there's freedom for your mind / heart and it's a beautiful thing when you find it.  i thought i had it.  sure didn't.  i had to let go of some things.  a lot of things.  seriously, pick up this book.  it's 6 bucks in the haywood mall.  it's on amazon.  just grab it. 

katy found my twin.  you can see him act in a budlight commercial by clicking here.   lauren and jordan and kimbo are absolutely amazing...they took me to walmart tonight so i could get some V8 fusion (woot woot) and oatmeal (along with plastic spoons and bowls to eat it in).  my first ride in the mustang in a long time!   also....kicking and screaming is now in the 5 dollar bin.  this is huge.  i remember going out and spending like 20 bucks on it and bringing it home and me and lauren actually watched it in pickens.  now, 3 years later, we were in walmart and saw it in the 5 dollar bin.  if you don't own this movie....make a run for the 5 dollar bin RIGHT NOW.

lauren germann and blair britt now have car puppies.  blair got crouton's cousin for her bday.  lauren got wiggles. ryan is now playing starfighter.  that's gonna change his life.  ashley is currently reading the book i previously mentioned...i think jenny's got it next, but it's up for grabs after that.  also, the SKEETER JONES video on facebook is a must watch!  so that's like...two videos in one blog.  can you handle that?  i cannot wait to go home and see and hang out with my family.  but as for now....i have to go to bed.  it has not been a very productive week as far as school goes, but i've felt pretty awful.  that's bout all i've got for now, friends.  k bye.

blog time.

yep.  it's blog time.  

it was nice to actually be able to run today.  i haven't been able to do like any physical activity for two weeks due to that cold previously blogged about that i just never got over.  note to self....decongestants can help prevent ER trips.  i think i'm gonna die this weekend though at the tournament....i'm pretty out of shape!  

but i am pretty stoked about being able to go skimboarding at isle of palms.  i really want to drive down, because my car is like this freedom to me.  it means i can leave.  i means i can go.  if i don't want to do something, i don't have to do it.  i absolutely love having the ability to just...leave.  escape.  my car.  love it. 

not only did i lose the ability to run for two weeks...but i couldn't sing either.  not that i can sing good, but thank goodness that God doesn't care about what i sound like, just the condition of my heart and it's little passion to sing.  speaking of hearts...i'm reading this book by andy stanley about my heart.  it's gettin me pretty bad.  my heart is somewhat out of whack.  it's not broken, it's not cold, and it's not hard.  it's just....not where it needs to be.  i'm gonna go into the heart stuff in a later blog once i finish this book, because it's pretty revolutionary!  

dale is back.  gotta love that guy.  and sprinting to catch his touchdown passes is better than peanut butter m&ms.  also...ryan.  what an incredible friend.  and blair and lauren.  wow.  and lauren dubbleya.  what a goofball.  and the guys i live with.  ashleyking txt msgs. and just the people i know are my friends out there....i am so blessed by friendships!  so many crazy awesome friends.  also...blessed by naps.  and skeeters animal crackers.  and a bunch of nice things.  and FINALLY THE DETERMINATION TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNINGS!  man have i had some wonderful mornings lately.  lovin it.  

found out from lauren tonight that she's helping my sister get ready for the pagaent...katy, i didn't even know you were in the pagaent.  mom, dad, i'm going to have to start requesting email updates on the 8's, just like the weather channel.  mall people watching was incredible friday....and listen to this.... i felt so crafty.  i was sitting outside barnes and nobles while everyone was inside, cause i just wanted to chill for a sec, and i had sierra mist in my backseat.  and i mean i was just in a complete state of chill and enjoyment, and i was thirsty. but the sierra mist was warm.  so i go in...ask for a cup of ice, come back out and enjoy cold sierra mist.  i felt like a genius.  when ryan came back to my car, i proudly told him of my heroics.  he was proud of me too.  that was like....one of those moments for me.  lately God has been filling me up with joy at random times, and i'm loving it.  because it overflows when it's from God, and it just spills out.   i try to go to big crowds when i'm like that so when the light is shining brightest it's shining like a city on a hill!  i usually stand on tables and juggle.  just kidding.  but you guys know what i mean.  jobi is trying to sleep now.  and me writing this blog is keeping me from keeping him up!
