<---------  So I'm working on getting a better picture.  This one is from January in Rockford, Illinois.  This particular day was about 3 degrees.  Yeah, that's cold.  We were doing a fund raiser where we pumped peoples gas for them (so they could sit in their warm cars) for a donation.  It's very successful.  Total we made like $1000.  I have on SO many clothes in that picture, an ear warmer AND a beanie and like 3 pairs of socks.  Hehe!

Tomorrow is my last day of US History.  I don't think I have to take any more college history classes ever!  I have to take a final then off to Houston.  This week I'm visiting my brother and sister-in-law and going to a wedding this weekend.  Next week I'm helping Master's with their booth at Fine Arts (it's an A/G talent competition thing).  I can't wait to see everybody!

I really do live the good life.  All month I've been praying for one of my small group girls that I poured my life into this past year.  She's been in Europe for 3 weeks.  I talked to her today, and it was amazing!  She lead a prayer group during their trip.  It started with 3 people and grew to 27 (only 50 went!)!  This was not a Christian trip. WOW!  God is so good to me and honors my prayers!  I love Him so much!

Last night my cousin Josh's band had their final show.  It was awesome!  I had such a good time!  I actually knew the songs this time cause I bought the CD a few months ago.    After the show, my brother and I went to my Nannie's and spent the night.  Always good times.  Today we played cards and ate Mexican food.

This week I'm going to Albuquercie, New Mexico for a wedding.  I'm so excited cause I'll get to see my college friends.  I'm excited about going back to college next month.  I have the best friends in the world.  Well, I need to go watch Alias.  hehe

I love summer.  I just finished watching the 1st season of Alias. ***** Yeah, that's 5 stars.  Good show!

I hate history.  I'm making a good grade in my class, but Hitler was an idiot and WWII doesn't make sense.  That's just my opinion though.

I'm in a weird mood.  I hate it when I think a guy likes me but I don't like him.  It makes me feel like crap.  I'm afraid I'm in that situation again.  No, I'm not bragging or something.  This is my site...I'm allowed to vent.  I know that guys don't have a lot of confidence with girls. I also know that when they finally get the courage up to ask a girl out and they get shot down...they die a little.  So, it puts girls in an awkward situation. We don't want to hand out pity dates, but it's not easy to say no.  Man, I hope I'm wrong.  I hope this guy was just being funny, not trying to let me know he has feelings.  Ugh, this is why I'm single.

Wow, life seems like it just immediately stopped.  I graduated Rockford Master's Commission two weeks ago today.  My life was going at the speed of light and then it was over.  I can't believe these last 9 months went by so quickly.  I loved everything about it.  Yeah, there were tough times, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.  I learned so much and have grown tremendously!  Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know I'm home, and God is good!
