Small group christmas party tonight :) should be fun. I need people ha ha ha.

Sometimes i just do not want to get out of bed.

Merry Christmas Eve

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve! Make sure you spend it with your family and remember the Real Reason we celebrate Christmas. I love all of you! I am heading over to my best friend Elizabeth’s house, then going to my grandmas :) Merry Christmas!

Never…

Never go shopping 2 days before Christmas. its AWFUL. Especially when you got 2 ft of snow a couple weeks before. Seriously, I thought we were going to get slaughtered while in Target by all those little old ladies looking for last minute Dora the Explorer dolls for their granddaughters. I am so thankful I am home now. Even though it was REALLY nice to get out of the house for a little bit. I have been stuck in here for days, which is fine, but I was starting to get a little anxious and I think I was spending way to much time on facebook. Actually I dont think it, I KNOW I was spending a little to much time on facebook. I apologize for all of the wall post and picture comments everyone, hahaha, because I think I commented and wrote on like every one of my friend’s walls the past couple of days. I do not know if I will have time to write tomorrow or Christmas Day, but I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Sing Mary Sing

Mary Had A Baby Born In A Manger
Mary What To Do, Mary What To Do?
Before The Vow Was Made,
In Her Belly Laid The King
CHORUS:
Sing Mary, Sing
Lullabye The King
Born To Be Our Pardon
No Longer Shall We Weep
Come Soften What Was Hardened
Sing Mary, Sing
Herod With A Vision Out With A Vengeance
Mary What To Do, Mary What To Do?
Flee To Galilee
Raise A Baby King Of Peace
CHORUS
Mary In Your Mourning
Turn Now As You Weep
Look To See A Savior
O, Sing Mary, Sing!
Sing Mary, Sing!

I love waking up in the morning and smelling the christmas tree. It smells so nice. I could never get a fake tree, these are too beautiful. Ours is really fat!

We still have lots of snow…

Its going to take a while before all of our snow goes away :) It’s fine with me. We are going to have a White Christmas :D

Making Supper

Today it’s my turn to make supper. I am making chicken patties and french fries :) Simple, but so good!

Thanking God for everything...

Are you tired? Thank God for giving you air in your lungs so you can live....
Are you thirsty? Thank God for giving you the body you have that tell's you when it needs food or drink to survive.
Thank God for the times He woke you up just in time to run to work after you have slept through your alarm.
Hate the rain? Thank him for sending the rain for those who NEED IT (like the farmers!)
Lose someone this year? Thank Him for the family you do have that you can celebrate Christmas with. Thank Him that you are not alone.
Feel like you are at the end of your rope? Thank Him that he sent his VERY own son to come into the world and die for our sins so that we can spend an eternity with Him. :)

Sleeping in...

I totally hate when I sleep in this late. Its really annoying. I don't want to sleep in, but I do. It takes away half the day! Especially when I am on Vacation, I would rather be spending this time with my friends and family :( I try setting an alarm, but I either sleep through it or turn it off and fall back asleep. It's a huge pain.

The roads here are still a mess. No one is really driving. Yesterday was nice though, we had our family Christmas party yesterday. We celebrated my cousin Braden, Ammanda's and my Dad's birthday yesterday as well as having a white elephant exchange. Usually we do secret santa, but this year we did a good white elephant exchange. It was so much fun! We each had to buy a present between 5 and 10 dollars, and it had to be something good and that anyone could really use. Stealing the presents from each other was fun, and I ended up with a basket of things for my nails, which is really nice since I have horrible nails. I don't really know what my plans are for the day, I will have to wait and see. I think I am going to help my mom bake some cookies. :)

Dont you just love it when you are exhausted but cant fall asleep? Its so awesome. NOT.

Snowed In

24 Inches of Snow! Oh my word, I love it!! My cousin Jenna is here for the weekend with her family, but she stayed at our house last night. We watched the Muppet's Christmas Carol, and before that I went shopping with Marcel, my dad and my grandpa :) That is when it started snowing. Its so beautiful! I LOVE the snow. Jenna and Mom went out and played in. I am still in my pajamas and we are all watching NCIS, its nice. I think I am going to go make some hot chocolate....with marshmallows.

We will probably just hang out at the house all day (since we can't really go anywhere) and tomorrow we have our family christmas party. we are having a white elephant exchange, so that should be pretty fun :) then tomorrow night we are having another white elephant exchange with our small group. I love Christmas!


"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
Luke 2:4-7

Bothersome...

You know what bothers me??? Dating couples who act like they are married. hahahaha.... its so annoying. And then they break up, and its like they got divorced or something. It's actually pretty hilarious to watch :D

Having a headache and trying to fall asleep is probably one of the worst combination know to mankind. Ug this bothers me. WHY CANT I FALL ASLEEP?!

Totally worn out

So last night I slept better than I have in a VERY long time. Way before camp. It was awesome. When Lauren woke me up this morning though she scared me half to death. I jumped, hahaha....

I did nothing all day, and its so nice. Well I actually did something, I made supper. Spaghetti :) It was good if I do say so myself.

Now I am watching NCIS with my dad, Lauren and Lee. I am starting to get tired and might head to bed soon.

Coloring in my coloring book relieves stress. And its also a whole lot of fun :)

Its really nice being home. Today i haven't done much of anything. I took my brother to the store to get some pants and now i am watching the grinch.

Little...

So I just read my last post and I seriously sounded like I was 5. What is my problem??? hahaha.... I use to many exclamation marks and smiley faces. :) O well :)

Christmas Break!

Hey everyone! So i am DONE WITH MY VERY FIRST SEMESTER AT LU!!! woot woot!! It was SO AWESOME, o my word I love it! I am glad to be home but I am also sad that I won't get to see my friends for a month, but I know that God is faithful and that He will pull me through. Last night me and the girls all went out to eat and spent all of Megan's meal points :D hahaha, it was awesome! I came back and me and my awesome roomies CLEANED our room from top to bottom. it was insanely dirty. then i studied forever from my last exam which I had this morning. uggg I hope I did well, not sure. I then got lunch, hung out with friends, packed up my stuff, said my goodbyes and headed home. Its nice not having any homework due or anything :) I took Marcel to the bank and Lauren's boyfriend Lee tagged along while we waited for Lauren to come back from cleaning at camp. I tell ya, ATM machines can be so tricky! (pahahah)

Then Michael came over and all of us went out looking at Christmas lights. some people go ALL OUT its hilarious. We then headed over to the park and looked at all the lights they had set up there. It was really pretty. We then came back and Ruth and Rachel came over and we watched Elf ♥ I LOVE that movie! Then everyone went to bed except I just finished watching two episodes of the Office...love!!

I can't believe that Christmas is only a little more than a week away. I can't believe it. It was so hard being at school. It was christmasy and stuff, but nothing (no matter how cheesy it sounds) beats Christmas at home. Our Christmas tree is HUGE. O my word, its so fat!! I would post up a picture but my camera is broken, so I don't have any. But Its a nice tree, i love it!

I have a month off, thank goodness for no school work :)

I feel like I am rambling now, off to bed :)

Why is north campus always so freezing cold? Do they not believe in HEAT here? honestly. it better be better heated next semester.

I finished my first semester at LU! it was an awesome semester. i am really going to miss my friends here over break :( i am heading home in a bit :)

I am up here at lodge studying for my exams.... The view is BREATHTAKING. i love living in virginia.

Home for the weekend

Home for the weekend! I got to sleep in today, no exams! I got up and packed stuff for the weekend but then I also packed stuff for when I come home on break so there was a lot of stuff. I went and got McDonalds for me and some Ice Coffee for Katie :) I came home and Elizabeth was here! I was SO excited! I haven't seen her for like 9 months :) It was awesome, I have really missed her. 

Right now we are watching NCIS and just relaxing. I made some cookie dough with my dad, lee, and lauren and  now I am facebook stalking people-watch out.

{read post below first} regular convo. Then i slept and went to starbucks :) i am going to miss LU while i am on break.

So today was so much fun. I went to christmas convo in the morning with my friends which was hilarious. Its a convo they have every year which makes fun of

I wonder...

I want to be a counselor for teenagers and middle schoolers. But sometimes I think about how hard its going to be. These kids are so broken, so many things have happened to them. I wonder what its going to be like and if I am going to be any good at helping them at all. I haven't really been through anything THAT terrible in my life. Will they even listen to me?? Its hard sometimes to think about.... why should they listen to my advice when I have never gone through what they have. I struggle with it often even now with my friends. I try and help. I guess the best thing I can do is to point them to God's word and what He has to say. Because He has been through it all.

I am really praying about being an SLD or RA....I feel like God wants me to be an SLD...I think I am going to try out for it.

Please pray for me as I make my decision :)

Went to church tonight :) Got to see my friends. Now I am going to sleep! Tomorrow at eleven is christmas convo. its suppose to be hilarious, can't wait to go :)

My laundry pile is HIDEOUS. i really need to go wash them.

A snowman :) {read the other post first.}

It is freezing outside. I hate this cold weather. I never seem warm enough even with two jackets, gloves, scarves or a hat. I think i am going to turn into

I hate it. I am so tired but then i go to bed and i cant sleep. Bothers me to death! So i just ate food which is horrible to do i know. Sleep! Plz come!

I love the sound of rain on the roof here. Its so beautiful. I hope it freezes and we wake up to a winter wonderland :)

FREEDOM!

This weekend was super busy! Lydia came up to visit, which was so much fun!
My group of friends did a secret santa party :) First we went to the Olive Garden and dressed up, everyone looked so beautiful! when we were done we all went to demoss and took pictures everywhere. then we headed back and had our own little christmas party. we ate peppermint bark and exchanged gifts :) Lindsey had me and she got me some lotion from bath and body works. i also got gifts from meggie (gloves), sarah ( a speech about me haha) katie (chocolate, pajama bottoms, and two notebooks) and casey and lydia both got me mugs with hot chocolate :) i love hot chocolate :) especially with fluff.

today was my last day of classes! hurray!! i am soooo relieved. my debate presentation went really well, and now i just have my two exams next week.

o my goodness, i need to sleep :)

Rain....again

I really wish this rain would go away. Today I wanted to look cute for no reason, so I put on some nice slacks and some heels and my red jacket. Yeah. It was totally POURING out. I got soaked because I forgot my umbrella. It was AWFUL. And I had straightened my hair and it totally poofed and look awful. So I came back after my prayer leader meeting and changed into sweats. I then proceeded to walk to the pizza hut we have on campus and get a pizza and a drink. yeah. have you ever tried to carry a soda, a box of pizza and umbrella all at once? I made a mess. I spilt soda on myself and I squished my pizza box. it was pretty epic, not going to lie. By the time I got back my pizza was not as hot as I would have wanted it to be but it was still good.

I went to a BEAUTIFUL show tonight, it was a Christmas show and it was SO wonderfully done, it was really professional.

Okay I really need to go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS OF CLASSES! YAY!!
