Sorry!!

I know.... it's been a month since I last wrote... I'm sorry!! I've hardly spent any time in my room, there's always something else to do! something more fun then sitting in my room!

Like taking pictures! My photograhpy class is THE BEST class ever. I love it. Black and White photography has become my new love. (dont worry, Jordan is still in the picture.) I am however in search of a new camera. Mine is just not up to par for this class, which is disappointing, and an inconvienience, cause not Jordan and I have to share his camera. Eek! But it's all good.

The weather down here is totally crazy. This week especially. Saturday, Sunday and Monday we had snow in the mornings. Yes, it was melted by about 11am, but there was enough of it to make everything white. It was pretty! Then Tuesday was just bleh, and Wednesday was nicer, and Thursday was up in the 70s, and sunny!!! Yesterday it rained and was cold again, but warmed up a little by afternoon. Today we're supposed to get rain and sleet. Why can't it just make up it's mind to be sunny and warm?!?

Well, it's time for me to get ready for church. love and hugs!

a day of good deeds

Yes, here at Southern, Martin Luther King day is also community service day. And Jordan, Ben and I are going out to do some community service. Gonna be rough though, we picked a tough one... are you ready for this?

We are going to the park to make balloon animals.

Doesnt that sound hard?? heehee I think it'll be fun, as long as they dont make me dress up as a clown. lol Hopefully they wont!

So that's my plan for today. We are being served breakfast in the gym at 9, so hopefully my ride wakes up in time to pick me up! (oh Joooooooordan!!!!)

Gotta run! much love and hugs.

first week, done!

Well, I made it through my first week of classes, and I think I did well!! Got my homework done... in time. ;-) Been on the run most every day, either to a class, or to an orientation, or to spend time/study with Jordan. It's been fun so far. I am really enjoying being here at school.

My FAVORITE class so far (yes, I already have a favorite) is by far, Intro to Photography. It teaches REAL photography, on black and white film. so much fun! I have a 24 roll that I need to go through before next thursday, cause thats when I go in to develop my film. yay!!

Well, I've got to run. Got laundry I need to put away, and I"m sure there's other stuff I need to do. Much love and hugs!

1/9/06

first day of classes

Here I go! First day! and it's a busy one until 2-ish. But thats ok. I can do it. Wish me luck!

1/8/06

Southern!!


There it is! my dorm room! Well... parts of it.

Daddy and I got down here at 11am, Thursday morning. We drove almost all night. Sooooo tired when we got here! But we went through everything we had to do, FINALLY found my room, and got me moved in. Well, we got my stuff in. I didn't move in fully until Friday. Dad left Friday afternoon around 1, and got home at 6am Sabbath morning. He DID drive all night! crazy man!

I slept a lot Thursday and Friday, and almost slept all day Sabbath too, but I just couldnt sleep anymore! I was a little scared to go to church all by myself. The College Church is MASSIVE. But I did it!! And I survived!

Today I've been all over. I took my ACT this morning. That was brutal. Not the test, but sitting there for 4 hours! With only one potty break in the middle! Eek! But I survived that too. Then I kinda went all over campus. I walked to Brock Hall to meet my advisor, then walked allllllll the way to Hackman Hall and the library, to see how long it would take, since I have to make the walk tomorrow. I go to Brock first thing, then I have an hour til I have to be at the Library, which is the other end of campus. Then right after that I have to go BACK ro Brock for 12. Then at 1 I have to go BACK to Hackman Hall, which is right next to the Library! Whoo! No Freshman 15 for me! I'll be walking everything off!

I also ventured to the cafe for the first time, by myself. I happened to meet a friend from Camp on my way though, so I ate with him for lunch. For supper I ended up sitting with 2 new ppl I just met. We were all headed for the same table, so we just all sat there!

Bought my books today too. Fun stuff. HEAVY stuff. But I can do it. *oomph*

Let's see... what else...

OH YEAH! The ACT scores!!! I got them back today, just checked online a little while ago, and there they were! I needed a composite score of 18. I got.... drum roll please.

24!!!!!!

Yay me!! I called home (or had home call me) right away! Everyone there was cheering for me! Oh happy day!

Now I get to just putter around my room, being bored, trying to find something to do, maybe reading, maybe music, maybe munching, maybe even sleeping!! Jordan won't be getting here until late, so I probably won't get to see him until tomorrow. But! Our first class in the morning is together, so that's cool! We'll probably meet a little early too. I can't wait to see him!!!

Oh, I know what I need to do. I need to write out my thank-you notes. Can't keep putting that off!!

So thats what's been happening over the last few days. I'll post tomorrow (if I have time) and let you know how my first day of classes went.

Hugs and loves!

College Bound!


Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful New Years. Mine was great! Jordan took me to Boston where we hung out with his sister Ashley, and his friend Ben, and Ben's brother. We went to the harbor and watched the fireworks at midnight, shared glasses of bubbly, and I got a kiss at midnight!! Such a good night!

And now the time has come. I leave for college tomorrow! I'm mostly packed. I'll get the last few things together tomorrow. I'm so excited!! Tonight at supper was kinda rough though. It was our last supper together. Mom told Dad to say the blessing, cause she knew she couldnt... and then Dad started choking up while he was praying... I almost lost it too! Tomorrow is going to be hard... I bet my Mom is going to cry all day. My sisters arent much better either. Leah started crying at supper, and both of them are asking me to stay home, saying I dont need to go to college. Ahh! I'm sure I'm gonna cry tomorrow. Doh!

Well, I've got the munchies, so I think I'm gonna go search for something to eat. Love you all! I won't be posting again until I'm in Tennessee!! Bye!

Silly Stuff

Hey there folks! It's the day after Christmas. That was fast. Hmm.

So, I'm headed out to school next week. Yeah, I keep bringing that up, I guess I'm just trying to get myself ready for it or something. Who knows.

OH! Just so everyone knows, I'll be getting a new cell number soon, cause my phone won't work in TN, the roaming charges will kill me. Once I get the new phone and number, I'll let you all know what it is. Not on here though. lol

So, yeah, just being kinda bored. I'm sure there's something I should be doing, but right now, I dont want to do it. I'd be happy to just go to bed.... mmmm, bed....... Don't know why I'm so sleepy. Oh well.

The pic I added here is of two of my favorite people. Jordan and Sammy last weekend. They adore each other, it is SO cute!!

Well, that's all. I'm gonna head out for now. Will post again later!

Hugs!

12/25/05

Merry Christmas!

Christmas has come, and not quite gone yet. I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with happiness and family and fun! If anyone would like to see how my holidays have been so far, there's some pics up! The link is : HERE!

Anyways, time for me to go. Much love to all!

12/24/05

Christmas!


Ok, yeah, it's been a while since I last wrote. Sorry! I spent a week at Jordan's. It wasn't supposed to be a week... was supposed to be home on Wednesday.... but it didnt work out that way for a few reasons. lol (wink to Jordan)

Life has been busy. I'm not even packed for school yet. I leave in a week and a half! I'm so excited! Sadly, Jordan won't be driving down with us, he'll be leaving later. But it's ok. Today was my last week in church. I will be in Maine next weekend. And then I go!

Next weekend is New Years AND 5 months! Yippie! I'm wicked excited about that too. Jordan is coming with me and my family to Maine to meet all my crazy relatives. From there we are heading to Boston for New Years. Yes, I'll be bringing my camera. Yes, there will be pictures. Yes, my Aunts will be fawning over Jordan... heehee

On a sad note, on the way home from church today, on the side of the road, was a heartbreaking sight. There, pushed over the white line by hundreds of passing cars, the poor thing sat. It had been in the prime of it's life! Seeing it brought tears to my eyes. Yes, on the side of the road, splattered and left to die, was a box of icecream. A moment of silence, please...

Ok, yeah, thats all! I've been gone all week, so now I'm gonna go spend the rest of Christmas Eve with my family. Much love to all, and Merry Christmas!!

*hugs*

oh the joys of boredom!


Hello my friends!! The holidays are upon us, and they are cold, wet, and white. Yup. SNOW! I'm not big on the cold. But I like having a white Christmas, so it's ok.

Today was my last day at work. I'm SO gonna miss those dogs!!! SO MUCH. Not even all of them were there this week. I only had to take care of 8 dogs. The rest went up north with my boss. The older dogs, and the obnoxious Downey, are all I had to take care of. I miss my Kipp, and my puppies, and my Hawkeye and Pilot, and my Rocky! And all the rest! (dont miss Seavey much though.) Yeah.... my puppies....

My last class was Thursday. I'd hardly call it a class though. We ate pizza and talked the whole time. But it was fun. Hard to believe I was in that class for 15 weeks! My last paper that I had to turn in, and got back last night, was a big hit. I did a research paper on the history of Crayola Crayons! Who knew that the creaters of crayons also were instrumental in the BLACK color of our tires? They were originally white! ha! There's a ton of other cool stuff about the makers of Crayola Crayons. Check it out sometime, or let me know, and I'll send you my paper. heehee (NOT a plug, honest!)

So yeah, it's pretty cold right now. We got some more snow today. It's not bad.

Oh! Major good news! My parents have to pay about $1200 towards school. But it's a monthly payment that they are used to making, so it's ok. Other then that, I only have to come up with $77.00!! Everything else is covered!! WAHOO!!!

Oh, and I'm back in the dorm again. If I stayed with our friends, the school wouldn't give me any more money, but if I stayed in the dorm, they would give me $3000. So yeah, that kinda made the decision for me. haha! I've got 2 and a half weeks left, and then we go! YAY!!! I'm so excited! But keep praying for me, please! I need it!

My Jordan is home! He drove all night Wednesday night, and got home around 6 Thursday morning. But he's home, he's safe, and he's coming to see me tomorrow!! Ahhh, I love him SO MUCH. He's incredibly wonderful. (DON'T SAY IT, JORDAN!)

Yep, that's the fun going on in my life lately. I'll try to post more often, but who knows how busy I'm going to be.

Love and hugs (and kisses to Jordan)!

12/9/05

Hey, guess what!!!

I'M BORED!

Look out the window...again...

It's snow! Yes, it started this morning, and it snowed HEAVY. We've got close to a foot now, if not more. About 2 inches an hour!! Crazy stuff. I guess it's that time of year though... Hmm...

Hey! I have news about school! I just got $2000+ knocked off my bill for this semester! Family friends of my parents work at Southern, and not only are they doing whatever they can to find me scholarships and other monies, but they have also offered to have me live with them so I dont have to pay for the dorm!!! Yippie!!! God is good!!!

So yeah, all in all, I'm pretty happy right now. :)

And now the sun is coming out, and it looks so pretty outside! I think I must go take a picture!

hugs

12/7/05

Look out the window...

See the glow? Right there, on the horizon. That's Concord, NH. We have officially been lit up for Christmas.

I drove home the back way tonight, to avoid shopping traffic, and there were so many lights on the side of the road, I could have turned my headlights off and still been able to see the road clearly!!

White lights are IN! Apparently. Which is OK, cause I love white lights. But they are EVERYWHERE! There are these funky white light coils out now. Ya stick the stick at one end in the ground, and stretch it out, and stick the stick at the other end in the ground, and it looks like friendly barbed wire!! Ha!

There are also twisty white "trees," and fake trees that are really just all lights, and fiber-optic trees, even!!! Lights are out!! Well, not really.

The funniest things I've been seeing are inflatable "things." A couple weeks ago, I saw an inflatable turkey. I've seen an inflatable football player. Now, I'm seeing inflatable christmas-y things! I saw two inflatable snowmen tonight. One was standing tall and proud, watching over the elves and gnomes accompanying him in the yard. The other was standing further back, humble, and actually bowed over. It looked like he was tipping his hat to me! I liked that one better.

And then I saw it. I dont know why it was there. I dont know where it came from. I saw... an inflatable spongebob squarepants, with a big black belt and a santa hat, climbing out of an inflatable chimney. Why? I don't know.

So yes, the glow on the horizon is Concord. White lights, colored lights, big lights, sheets of lights, snowmen, trees, santas, and candles in every window. Electric bills will be high by mid-January!

I'm trying to get into the spirit of things, trying to listen to Christmas music more, trying to think about shopping for family... But I've got so much other stuff on my mind at the same time, it's been really hard to think about the season. I'll probably be ready for Christmas by January... maybe February...

Pray for money for college! That's all that could stand in my way right now. We're working towards getting the money we need, but it's a long and stressful process. So please keep me in your prayers!

Hugs to everyone!

For Jordan, with love!

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...

Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...

Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

~Bread

Whatcha wanna know...

...about me?

Hmm.

Anyways, yeah, new "About Me" section. ha.

Grey Skies Shining

Today has been really grey and cloudy and gloomy. It's so hard to be cheerful on days like this, especially when life gets you down all on it's own. Then, when you're already down, it has to be gloomy weather on top of it. Nice, huh? It was rather interesting when I was at work this morning though. It had gotten really grey and dark, it looked like it does in the summer, right before a 5pm thunderstorm. You know how that is.

So, I was out in the excersize yard (I can never spell that word) scooping poop, which is what I do, and it got all dark and crazy. And then, it started getting lighter and lighter, and as it got lighter, it started to rain. The lighter it got, the heavier it rained. Now, I have to tell you something about the yard. The dogs like to dig. And they dig a lot. And they dig deep. So, there is one area where they have dug about 5 holes all near each other. Right now, it's just a big muddy mess that usually gets spread on me when the dogs jump on me, but it's also filled with water. Well, when it started raining like that, where the raindrops hit the water in the holes, it sounded EXACTLY like one of those indian rain sticks. I couldnt believe it!! It sounded so pretty!

Then it got dark again. The stresses in my life right now did contribute to the gloom, but we wont go there right now.

This evening, I had to make a run into town to take some stuff to the dump, and make a deposit at the bank. Pretty normal stuff. It was grey on the way to the dump, icky. But, on the road from the dump to the bank, when I crested this one hill, there in front of me was the most gorgeous sunset I've seen in a while... probably because it had been so gloomy, and I didnt think there would even BE a sunset tonight.

The sky infront of me was amazing. It went from the grey gloom to a little bit lighter. The clouds didnt look so thick. And then it got a little lighter, and a little brighter.

And then, to my awe and amazement, the sky turned orange. It was SO orange, and bright, and glowing. And right in the middle of this glowing sky, was the sun. It wasn't just any sun, it was a bright, glowing, golden sun. After so long (it seems) of no sun, this was such a beautiful sight. I wanted to pull over and just watch it. By the time I saw it, the sun was at that point where it would disappear into the horizon in minutes. But I had a time limit, and I couldnt just watch. But it was such a rich, bright color, it just made you feel warm inside.


I made my turn, reluctantly, and continued on my way. By the time I made it to the bank, which was just about 2 minutes away, it was gone. Everything was kinda gloomy again, except for the horizon which still had the blue-silver color to it.

I did my thing at the bank, and headed home. By now, the colors had all disappeared, but left behind in the air was a soft rosey color. Everything had a pink hue to it, but the sky was in no way pink. It was amazing.

Now it's just dark outside. No stars, too many clouds. But maybe tomorrow will be bright. One can only hope...
