Fun with friends...

Two of my friends came out last night to help today with the moves. It didn't take us long so we went to a park and took loads of pictures just for fun!


BFF!!









































We had tons of fun and I loved experimenting with the sun in the back round! I've always taken pictures with the sun facing the subject's face not back. I hope you like them!

Last day of living alone...

Today is officially my last day to have a room all to myself! :( Tomorrow my 4 year old niece is moving in. (Well, actually, she started to move today.) It's a pretty big wowie but I'm going to get used to it. I've lived with two other young kids before so the thought isn't like totally foreign to me or anything. It's just that I've had my own room for about half a year now and I've grown extremely comfortable! I guess that's why my niece is moving in. God is always stretching us and helping us to grow. He's always preparing us for things in the future. It isn't exactly the fact that I'm going to live with a little girl that scares me, it is the fact that my room will now become the "official" toy room for all my little niece's friends to destroy! That is a very scary fact for a seventeen year old!  :( I have good reason to be scared, plenty of experiences with little kids getting into my stuff. I'm sure it'll end up being a wonderful experience for me though, I hope! :(

Busy, Busy, Busy.... :) :(

Wow! My life went from lazy to hectic in a matter of 24 hours!! Here is sort of what my schedule looks like for the next couple of weeks: today through Sunday we are moving (20-22), Monday I work at Le Bonheur (23), Tuesday I clean someones house (24), Wednesday I am leaving for Florida and won't be back until Sunday (25-29), Monday I work Le Bonheur again (30), Tuesday and Wednesday I pack (1-2), and Thursday I leave for Hawaii and won't be back for ten days! (3-13). I am really excited about it but thinking about it all makes my head spin!! :~)
Well, I'd better go help with the moving!

What happened at the meeting last night???

Well, we got to Ben and Toni's around 6:30pm and ate dinner. We sang songs for awhile then there was some talking. Basically all the talk was about love and what the word love means. It ended up being a pretty good meeting even though like everybody was tired and fighting sleep the entire time. Towards the end of the meeting, my dad got directions to this guy Robert's house and he got our phone numbers. He wants to come to our house to see our life and we are going to his house. I excited about what could come of this. They are the ones with a seventeen year old girl who I've talked to a couple times before. I hope this will get us closer and I will get to know her better.

Cold weather...:(

If you are someone who knows me then you know that I don't like cold weather...and that is exactly what is happening outside...and inside! :( :( It seems like Antarctica out there! I think our heat source gave up on us. Right now I'm sitting at my kitchen table typing. I've been wearing my jacket all morning along with socks. I am NOT looking forward to the snow this year! :( Me and snow?...not really. We don't get along. It always seems to be getting in my boots, down my shirt, in my face, in my socks....Aaaaarrrgggg!! And worst of all, I can't get back at it for annoying me! I mean I could get a big bucket of snow and bring it inside to melt it, but that's not really satisfying. There's always more snow outside, lurking, waiting for me to come out so it can pounce on me! If I were to say that I was grateful for anything right now, it would be that it's not snowing!

Is there anybody else that does not like or really like cold weather/snow!!

Meeting last night.

I'm fixing to leave to go to Ben and Toni's for the meeting there. Actually I have 5 minutes to get ready! I don't know any details about last night other than the fact that they were trying to save us and they didn't agree with us and neither we with them. There is a barrier there between us that doesn't seem to want to come down. We are praying it does!
Well, I have to go. Hopefully I feel up to blogging tomorrow about tonights meeting...hopefully!

Evangelising....

As I sit here and type this, there are two Church of Christ evangelists sitting in the Memphis Gatehouse doing...well...evangelizing.
 I wrote in an earlier post about our neighbor getting into a discussion with one of our guys here and how they didn't agree on somethings. So now, that neighbor brought one of his friends from church out here tonight to talk and try to help us understand more of what they are all about. I am interested to find out what they have say. All the Gatehouse men are sitting in the living room talking with them. I don't know how it is going but I'll make sure to let you know when it's all over. Please pray that God's will be done with this whole ordeal and that we are brought even closer to these neighbors through this.

Today...

A bunch of young people came out today for the Gathering. We had loads of fun playing soccer and tennis afterwards.

These pictures were taken before they left of me and a couple of my best friends!




I really enjoyed them coming out. I don't get to spend much time with them so it was nice!
Thanks guys for coming out!! :)
