Had the best lock-in in a very very long time Friday. How I missed ultimate 4 square. Then went to the Naaman vs. North soccer game and got to see Raney and everyone Saturday morning Slept all day and then Saturday night-- I'm so glad you came, you're amazing. I miss you already

Got burned pretty badly at our car wash yesterday but it was fun. Then we watched Moulin Rouge. Woot woot. I may not have felt the same appreciation for its awesomeness throughout the room.... but I'll act as if I didn't notice.

^My spring break so far. Tomorrow we are taking the kiddos to Walmart and Petco... pray for us please. Please.

I was told I needed to update again.

Sooo hmmm things are good. I'm so ready for Spring Break though, even if I have to go to Louisiana for 2-3 days (I'm trying to work on getting out of that one... but it's probably very unlikely)

My churchin group started a new Tuesday morning Starbucks thing that Sarahtritch likes to call "Share Feelings Tuesday" hahaha... so thats sweet. Wicked sweet rather. And I think Coop and I have started our own tradition at el parque as well. And that's definitely wicked sweet material right there  Sarahtritch likes to think that she knows all about that one as well... but she don't! lol

And speaking of spanish (el parque) Allison and I have gotten to hang out more and that makes me a happy little betic camper  We share the heart of a pirate! ARG. Unless you are Allison.. you probably don't see how I tied her into spanish either. Sorry bout that.

My Laura Beth came home this weekend so I got to see her for the first time in FOREVER OH MY GOODNESS. And she's going to VENEZUELA over Spring Break... soooo jealous. But yes, everybody please pray for an amazing and blessed trip for her and everyone else involved. I'm also working on getting mi madre to let me go spend a weekend after Easter w her in Waco- but since my mother has been unexplainably paranoid these days... we shall see. This however, is much more likely than my plan of skipping the Louisiana trip, so that's good news right Lala????

I don't know what else is new... umm I finally called in and got back in the player pool, I'm a little nervous though. If I don't get put on Mustangs I'll just stop playing. What a scary thought... ugh, I don't wanna think about it. Hopefully Lightning will just not have enough ppl so I won't have to feel bad about leaving them... and I'll get to play with Vanessa and all them  Cross your fingers... except not you Coop. Bad luck

It's almost 9:30. Yes thats the bed time of like a 6 year old but I don't care I'm exhausted. The End.

OOOOh also so ppl can stop asking me- I gave up AIM for Lent. so that's why I havent been online.  I like these smileys. The end for real this time.

Somebody needs to buy me a new scanner so I can start posting pictures. I've got lots of new ones and nothing to do with them. I feel a new project coming on... someday when I actually have time.

The yearbook is sooooo close to being done - I can almost smell it. SMELL it.

Battle of the Bands was good... or As I Am was good anyway. and Winter Rose. yes I am biased, oh well. Got some really good pics too! I would post them online but, again, my scanner sucks.

And the best part of Battle of the Bands was that I got to hang out with me Jennifer  Everyone else too... but I just miss her. Good thing for our marathon of notes. It's your turn by the way. Not that you read this... whatever.

Dear God, surround me as I speak.
The bridges that I walk across are weak.
Frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear.
Dear God, don't let me fall apart,
You've held me close to you.
I have turned away and searched for answers I can't understand.

They say that I can move mountains
and send them falling to the sea.
They say that I can walk on water
if I would follow and believe
with faith like a child.

Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the recklessness
I walked in light of you

They say that love can heal the broken.
They say that hope can make you see.
They say that faith can find a savior
If you would follow and believe
with faith like a child.

--Jars of Clay

Though it was a million degrees below zero, Bridgeport was good. A little retreat was just what I needed this weekend.

Even though things get pretty crazy at times, thank God for my youth group. Thank God for Kelly. Thank God for the little miracles he reveals to us each day.

And even though I fought Him as hard as I could and it brought so much pain, He turned my life back around. And I thank Him for that.

Can I get an AMEN? (or an "uhuh uhuh uhuh" )
