Time for an update?

Well since i've done justice in neglecting my poor blog - i've decided to spend some quality time just to update it.

Life has been pretty good lately. Time seems to be going by so fast, yet at the same time days drag on for hours. I'm so excited for mama, daddy and the girls to be here next weekend! You have no idea how excited i am for that! So i'll get to stay with them at the hotel all weekend long. My roommates and core mates are all going to be in Houston having quality time down there, and i will be livin it up with the fam.

We have intramural sports here at the Honor Academy. Right now it's football season! Well, flag football. But it's so much fun! I haven't been able to play because of my knees, but it's fun watching too. Our brother core plays, and then my whole RD group is a team as well. We're called TPS (The Pilgrim Society). Everyone calles us the Toilet Paper Sisters though...:( lol how sad. It's funny because TPS is so hardcore - they've done amazing. We've won everygame so far. But yea, it's so much fun to get into the games and put on face paint, wear the teams colors and scream like a fool.
But that's it for the sports side of intern life.

Work is going well. I got my very first application the other day. I was so stinking pumped. I get a lot of people "wanting" to go but no one has ever been like "I don't care about anything else, i know i'm called to go to this country so i'm going." And i got a girl like that Friday afternoon, so she'll be going to Autralia for a month next July!

I helped out with the 1 and 2 year olds at church this morning. It was pretty great, but i'll admit - i missed being in the actual service. The church i go to is called CCF - Community Christian Fellowship. It's the church that Paul Baloche leads worship at. You may not know his name, but i'm sure you've heard and sung his songs before. "Above All", "Open the Eyes of My Heart", just to name a few - plus he's won a Dove award before. So yea, i love the worship at CCF. It's not like it's a big church either...it's kind of small actually. I know a lot of interns don't like going there because soooo many interns DO go there, or they don't like the services - but it fits me perfectly so i'm going to stick with it!

I haven't been able to put pictures up very often. My computer at work only lets me put like a few pictures on the hardrive before it freezes up. So my roommate Savanah put all the pictures on her laptop and we put all of them on the internet yesterday. So feel free to check them out whenever you feel like it. We'll be putting pictures on this site all year round so if you're ever bored, with nothing to do, check our photo album out!

Mama and Daddy are bringing my laptop when they come so i'll really be able to bombard ya'll with pictures! Thank you Jesus! I miss being on good computers. Not that the office comps aren't good...they just stink when it comes to pictures and such.

I'm not sure if we're going to be doing anything right now... i really feel like going to the sno cone shop and watching a movie or something, or maybe i'll read. I'm not quite sure. What i *am* sure of though is that i LOVE the weekends!!! They just end to soon!

Woah, Paul Baloche wrote "Above All" and "Open the Eyes of My Heart"? I freakin love those songs! I should youtube him and see what I can come up with, lol.

I would be pretty excited too, if I got to be a part of sending someone oversees! I think I should be jealous now. *nods* Yup.

Hey, if you get any free time, you should check out my blogspot! I've been posting some humorous free-writing that I've done recently. It's pretty interesting, lol.
