We're comin round the mountain when we come!
Road trips are soooooo much fun! :)
So this morning I woke up at 3:15 wide awake, excited about the trip. I lulled myself back to sleep and after a few more hours of sleep I awoke to the beauty of the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER and the celebration of the two most amazing men I know, my dad and grandpa!
This morning, church seemed especially dry and boring. I dont know what it was, but the congregation all seemed like they left part of themselves in bed....it was weird, and we were really low in numbers because people were out on vacations and such....oh well :)
After church we headed down to this little Mexican restaurant for Fathers day and had a nice little family time celebrating our dads :)
Ok, I am convinced that I have an aura radiating from me that attracts foreigners. I dont know but earlier this week we ate Chinese for my mom's bday, and this little guy that works there named Kevin just absolutely would not leave me alone. In his cute little Chinese accent he asked me my name and where I was from...how adorable!
Then yesterday when I went to get my nails done, one of the Vietnamese workers would not stop staring...so then he asked me similar questions followed with a sneaky way to hold my hand for about 5 seconds (which he confessed to).
Then today at the Mexican place, there were three different Mexican waiters asking me all these questions and one was all like "Bonita Bonita Seniorita" oh dear. My family was dying with laughter as embarassment overwhelmed me....so I dont know what it is, but I guess I attract foreigners? Not good considering I am spending two weeks in Florida... :-/
Anyway....off we went around 2pm. It was so relaxing just to be able to pull out of our driveway and forget the responsibilities of home....and Deli Fresh.
We drove for what was only supposed to be a 4 hour trip that turned into a 5.5 hour trip because of contruction and a horrible tractor and trailer accident :(
So that brings us here, in Columbia, SC sleeping until 5 am...then we start part 2 of the trip :)
More to come tomorrow!!
I love you guys!
Nighty Night

All Packed Up....
So, Im leaving tomorrow for something I have been looking forward to for 4 years....and now that its here im not all excited to leave tomorrow...
Have you ever packed and packed but just didnt feel ready to go?
That's happening to me. I packed and packed and overpacked. (i didnt take this much to college...ok maybe i did, but yeah) I ended up packing 3 suitcases one for clothing which weighed 78 pounds lol i had to like jump on it to get it to close... another suitcase entirely for my shoes and one entirely for makeup and hair products....oh yeah and a garment bag with 16 dresses...lol i mean you just never know when you need a dress right? :)
So needless to say, I hobbled up the stairs with my abundance of luggage and immediately heard the inevitable complaining and nagging from my parents....they just dont understand that I just MAY need 36 pairs of underwear, 7 belts, 12 skirts, two hair straighteners, or 20 pairs of socks....i mean seriously....ANYTHING could happen..and then where would I be? :)
Today mom and I ran the final errands for the trip. We went to get our nails are prettyfied for the trip, and she decided I just HAD to have a pedicure, so she talked me into it....btw i hate feet and its my most ticklish body part. So I was more or less terrified of what my reaction would be....it was great at first. Then the girl pulled out the pumice stone....and I lost it, I started laughing uncontrollably and poor girl didnt understand English so she probably thought I had escaped from some institution before that. It was a dreadful experience, but as my overly feminine mother keeps reminding me "Beauty may be painful, but it's worth it". I dont know about you, but I think beauty can be found in sneakers and a t shirt and in a much less painful fashion.
Anyways....after getting all girled up we shopped for Fathers day. My dad and grandpa have got to be the two hardest men to shop for....ugh Well in my pursuit for mens apparal and cologne, I ended up getting my old high school job back...i guess thats good?
Then I packed, but I am leaving something behind, my dad. :( I am extremely perplexed that we have to leave him here to be eaten alive by Deli Fresh for two weeks... and we are leaving on Fathers day of all days :( I just want to pack him up and steal him. Is it considered kidnapping if you share the same genes?
I think I should wrap up my ramblings for the day...
Night night :)

hasta que te vuelvo a ver pasar
Zuuuuuuuuuumba!!! :) Im in Zumba mood right now. I just got back a little while ago and It was a great class tonight!!! :)
So this morning when we went to the gym, I decided to do something different. They have these weight machines in one section of the gym. They are numbered one through twenty five. So, Im not a real big fan of them anyway, but I thought I would shake up my workout. Well I didn't have a problem finding the next machine to go to.....until number 15. I looked everywhere and could not find the stinking 15th machine! So I ended up wasting half of my workout hunting for something that didn't exist. :( grrrrrr
Then I went to work. Which was amazing! I had to pull a pork....with my hands....ewwww. Today was definitely one of the better Deli Fresh days. :)
Ok, so my birthday is in about three weeks, and im going to be out of town, but I don't think its that big of a deal, but my grandpa surprised me and gave me my present early. He's so adorably sweet :) I got a new camera because mine died a while ago, and he wanted me to be able to take pics during the trip :)
Soo needless to say, I have taken quite an abundant of pictures today :D
I went to the grocery store with my mom. She accidently ran into me, not a big deal, except I was wearing heals (really cute blue and pink polka dot heels) and i completely twisted my ankle....grrrr stupid feet. Tonight was the last Zumba for three weeks and I was sooo upset that I would miss it....so I prayed (and medicated myself) and my ankle felt just fine once I started Zumbaing :)
Now Im in bed....ready to sleep...yeah...at 930. Im exhausted with a long long day tomorrow.
This is a picture of me...bored and facinated by my camera exhausted and ready for bed :)
Night yalls!

Love...it's like the wind.
So....it's probably way to late to be spending time updating a neglected blog, but Im watching the Nanny (fyi, my favorite show) and decided I could multi task.
I was really sleepy earlier today...but now im wide awake.....silly boys :-P
Looks like its been a while since I have updated...hmm lets see what I have done since then....I think since then I have finished up my Sophomore year in college, and after re-evaluating my last two years of school, I realize....I really know very little more than I did when I enrolled two years ago...it's kinda depressing. Im definitely transferring, but where to is still up in the air. I really like the looks of OCU in Circleville, but we'll see.
Lets see...ok then after school I went straight to work at DeLi Flesh. I am able to empathize with Paul when he speaks of the "thorn in his side, a messenger of Satan sent to torment him." Well, Deli Fresh has become the thorn in my side...ugh. If anyone reads this that cares, heed this warning... NEVER GO TO WORK FOR YOUR PARENTS....ever.
Well, the past few weeks have been monotonous at that ridiculous eating establishment. Really there hasnt been much excitement sprinkled on my summer break yet. I did get to catch up with some old friends last weekend which was incredibly nice. I also had a date to go misreably and was rejected for the first time...im not even upset because it makes me laugh that I will be 20 next month and my first rejection just happened...So im glad that happened.
And a lamp just fell on my head :( ouch!
anyways...I have had quite a week at Deli Fresh this week. We are extremely stressed...way too many customers and not enough employees ugh. I think I need to go shopping...and maybe a pedicure... that would be amazing right now :)
To help get through my stressful week at DF, myself and a coworker Tina, often peer through the kitchen window and check out the cuties that come in. Well, a couple of weeks ago one of the more beautiful men we had ever seen walked in....we both fumbled around messing up sandwiches, and since then we keep an extra eye out front, just in case, so we don't miss a real hottie walk in...I mean seriously, we make sandwiches all day, do you blame us? ;) Well all that to say, today I knew I would be in the kitchen all day and so I didnt put much effort into getting ready. I was wearing a tank top and a pair of Daisy Dukes, not realizing I would see any men other than my father. Well, I will never dress like that again. The vendors to come in like uncomfortably stared me up and down, I went out front to sweep for like 5 seconds and i had little old men staring at my butt...it was horrifying. The worst part was, a frequent customer of ours walks in with his very handsome nephew. He had brought him in all the way from Clarksburg to meet me......oh dear...i looked horrible and I was extremely embarrassed. So I learned my lesson. I should never leave the house looking like that every again.
That was a really long story...lol :)
So I was supposed to be heading out to Orientation at this school in Nashville in the morning...but Im not going there, so Im not, but my parents have reminded me all week that I could still go....grrrr.
I head to Florida on Sunday for two weeks. Im really excited even though its for business and not vacation. Getting away from DF for a while is going to be amazing! Ill try to write everyday Im there and update how the trip is going. Apparently Im going to meet some sexy little Cuban men ;)
Then I come back, turn 20 (which i think I have hit the age that birthdays don't matter anymore), then off to counsel a group of Jr. High girls....oh dear.
ummmmmm I really cant think of anything else to write...
I went shopping, well "mini shopping" today with my mom and got these really cute bright yellow heels. :) Im going to POP out in the crowd in Florida...
ummm.....my dog attacked my cat yesterday. He like almost killed her!!!! It was tragic.
I dont like hotdogs...random fact about me.
I think I am procrastinating sleep. I wake up in 6 hours...not good.
Well that's all...I think im going to go do laundry....I have this random craving to smell fresh laundry. :)
Have a great day ya'll! :D

One Life to Love/The Motions
I just wanted to share some lyrics to a song that is really keeping my head held high through these next few weeks :)
He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Until he started praying for a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He’d trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed
He tells his wife I wish that this moment in this room
Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you
You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don’t wanna miss
One day when it’s all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love
She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left till she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
The sun has set on her big plans to feel young again
She picks up the phone, dials a number, hears that little voice
That’s haunted every single mile since she made that choice
You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don’t wanna miss
One day when it’s all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love
ALSO, the song The Motions by Matthew west has challenged me to live everyday without going through the motions of Christianity.
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions

Daddy, I want to come home....
I am so lost and confused.
I really don't want to leave. I mean part of me really does, but at the same time, I see people here that I have invested so much in. People that, even through the tough times, I would do anything for. I love them.
I think that sometimes the will of God has to be accepted whether or not it's what you want. Right now I feel as if I was given a dose of disgusting cough medicine, and I am swallowing it reluctantly.
Just last week I was posting about how excited I was about graduation being so soon, and now I think I am postponing that another year by transerring.... :(
I honestly just can't get over how much I am going to miss....him....and others...but I am really going to miss him.....
ugh...is life over yet?
On a brighter note.... the sun is shining....that makes me smile...a little bit.
Oh and I am going to visit a friend tonight which will be a relief from this dreadful campus....ugh.
I kinda just want to go home, not West Virginia, but Home...with my Jesus. I think that just would be amazing... :) I can only imagine.......
I wonder how long it takes God to put a broken person back together?

Can we act our age...please?
Really?! Do we have to act so dumb and immature?!!!
So I have been in conflict with everyone of my friends over the last week. I am not quite sure how that happens....
I could stay here and vent forever about it, but instead I decided to pray. It is almost as if God is releasing me from these "friends" which leaves me extremely confused.
I wish I knew why this was happening, but I guess it's just something I will have to accept through the pain.....
ugh...life

So I scheduled for next year (Sr. year!!!!!) and I am taking statistics, and calculus 12&3 and physics 1&2 and linear algebra...I got light headed just thinking about it....
Goodbye freetime.

Oh and I have narrowed down my grad school choices to only 2!!! Now time to hit the GRE books...

Beauty is the essence of God
Tomorrow is by far one of my favorite holidays. With the hustle and bustle of Christmas and Easter, even the strongest followers of Jesus may get distracted from the true reason we celebrate. That is why on Earth Day I like to reflect on the beauty of God and His creation. When I think about the Earth and everything in it, my head spins at the complexity, but then the realization hits that the same God who formed that intrinsic mass is the same God who tenderly picks me up when I fall....the same God who whispers assurance into my ear...the same God who made a way for us to live. "Even the mountains bow down....." Do not take anything in this Earth for granted.
So tomorrow, as I go outside into this beautiful Earth, I will look at my surroundings and praise Him.
I challenge you to do the same...
if it is raining.....reflect on all of the blessings God has so willingly showered upon you.
if it is sunny......bask in the warmth of His love, knowing that His love in unconditional.
if the birds are singing, if the rabbits are playing haphazardly through the field, if you have to walk over hundreds of worms to get to class.....try to find the beauty in the day because that day is made by our Father, and our Father is the essence of beautiful.
Happy Earth Day!!! :)

Empty and Dry
I need Jesus.....I need him to fill me up so that I can take Him into this devilish world we live in...
I need Him to come to me this week.
I need Him so that I can worship Him for all He has done.
I need my Jesus.
I need Him to come to me this week.
I need Him so that I can worship Him for all He has done.

What if I had given everything?
My prayer today as I woke up was for Christ to take me "all the way". A new song from Matthew West captures this thought perfectly. Sometimes I believe that in the business of life, we often get tied down with responsibilities and expectations that have been laid on us. I don't think that there is anything wrong with being busy, but I do think that Satan can use our hectic lives to distract us from our main goal.
When I sit back and think about it, reality hits me like a train. Our number one priority is to worship and serve our Lord, yet so often we just go through the motions of Christianity while we are working out hardest trying to succeed in life. I think that we must realize that success is temporal, as are our possessions, social status, and honestly our relationships. The only thing in this life that hold true permanence is our most important relationship, the one with our Father.
If you are honest with yourself, how much of you time do you spend investing in that relationship comparative to the time we spend investing in success?
This life we live, the air we breathe, the fact that we are relational beings, the blessings we receive every moment...it was all given to us by our Father who watched His own Son be brutally murdered in order for us to have these free conveniences. In spite of this fact, we still mock His sacrifice by NOT living out our relationship with Christ.
Complacency is a fatal epidemic.
I think it's time to break free from complacency, and start living this life for the way our Father intended.
Wouldn't you hate to look back at your life and say... "What if I had given everything....."

A plethora of thoughts...
So, I have always been leery of posting my life in a blog for all the world to see, but I have been following my friend, Bobby, on here, and I thought I would give it a shot :)
I guess this is where I talk about life...
Well...
Its been everything but boring lately. I am four weeks away from being finished with my first semester of the Jr. year of college.... ugh! Senior year! Soooo close! Things are getting extremely stressful and time consuming with papers and projects and exams! :( It will be over soon though!!! yay summer!
Today is my roomie's 20th birthday (well actually tomorrow is) but we are throwing a surprise party for her tonight and taking her to see the Hannah Montana movie...lol how many people ask to see that on their 20th birthday... :) She is oblivious so I hope we can work everything out :)
So, have you ever had someone on your mind, and everything you do to get them out of there fails? Thats definitely what has been going on with me. When I go to sleep, he is in my dreams, when I wake up he captures my thoughts all day long, when I turn on the radio every song reminds me of him. I just don't get it.... *shrug* oh well...
Well, I know there is so much more I could write about...but ya know...this is college, freetime is expensive :)
Adios!
