Hi!
Sorry if I have a post called that....I cannot remember if I do or not.
But anyway, last night was sooo sad. I had to watch A.I. for Text & Film and it's such a sad movie. I wish my professor would choose Bringing Up Baby or Rear Window.
AI is sad because of how they treat David. David is a robot created with emotions. Every Sci-Fi film shows a bleak future and it drives me crazy!
Sad part is when everyone laughed when Monica put David in the closet. That actually made me sad. However, it shows how we value things.
On another note, I registered for five core classes for next term. It means I will not take any Gen eds. For the first time since I started college, I will not take any gen eds for a couple of terms since I only need a upper level gen ed.
I am taking: Civil Litigation 1, Legal Research & Writing, Legal Communications, Criminal Law, and Alternate Dispute Resolution.
Sounds crazy right?! Well, since it's a non traditional school, it's a little different.
I have two night classes, one class that meets twice a week for two hours, a weekly day class that lasts for two hours, and an online class.
I will be done by Thursdays and will work probably over the weekend and see friends.
I think I can do it!
Speaking of homework, I need to finish contracts. Can't wait till 4:40 when Evidence is done!

Summary of the Weekend :)
hi!
It was an awesome weekend!
It started on Friday when Mom and Dad picked up and took me to Rachel and Stephen's.
We got a tour of their new house. From the outside, it's a fooler but on the inside, it's beautiful!
Beautiful wood floors, awesome kitchen with a dishewasher, new stove, looked like granite counter tops (not sure of the official name) nice backyard, beautiful master with its own bathroom, a hallway bath with a tub, two awesome rooms with one having double closets, a loft/attic, and a laundry room!
It also has tiny built book shelves which I always wanted that or a library!
The house is long and narrow but I still like it.
But goodness, moving all their stuff! I am thankful people from Stephen's job and some from their church moved all the furniture! But they used to live on second story apartment with narrow stairs, and their new house has even more narrow stairs!
Sadly, no off street parking but they are use to parking that way and it's a city. It's hard to find!
I am excited to paint it. It's not the colors I would choose but once I have my own place, I can go crazy!
I can't wait to have my own space. I know I will have a mortgage and other expenses but I can do whatever I want to it!
Including a finished basement; a loft area; built in bookshelves, and a nice kitchen!
Finally coming back to school on the same day, Janelle came to my place, and we relaxed till we went to bed.
All day Saturday we watched Hitchcock movies: The Birds, Saboteur, Psycho (amazing!) and Marnie. We wanted to watch more but Hitchcock believed movie length should be based on how long your bladder could take it. So, an average Hitchcock is two hours.
I got Janelle the Clue Hitchcock edition but we sadly could not finish all the movies for the game. Left: Frenzy, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Torn Curtain.
But we still played and had fun.
Then Sunday morning, we went to a church nearby where we went to a Sunday class about the bad girls of the bible.
They talked about the Samaritan woman at the well. I think God has been trying to tell me about He is the living water. When I get exhausted or weary, I should go to Him for strength.
Then the Sunday sermon was about witnessing to others. The church is a great place and if I end up in the area, I will go there.
Janelle and I went out with some of them to Panera Bread and we had sooo much fun.
When I took Janelle and my plate to the trash, a random customer said "good job." lol.
After Janelle left, I had to go to the apartments because the townhouse washers and dryers were broken. I read more Harry Potter Book #6 and did homework while waiting.
I finally finished #6!!! I really liked it a lot. I thought #5 was my favorite but besides the ending, I think I really enjoyed #6.
I did cry at the ending of #6. But I'm sure many questions will be answered in the final book.
I accidentally watched "Big Bang" and Sheldon revealed some stuff about #6 that broke my heart (if you have read the book, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying).
I got to finish the 5th movie as well. Sad to see more bad things but I knew it was coming. It was a good movie; my goodness, they skimmed sooo much though! Some great parts though ;).
I have the final book and the 6th movie. I was going to get Dial M For Murder and Rear Window (both by Hitchcock) but I have to watch A.I. tonight in class.
I know it's really depressing, so I am glad I got the final book and the 6th in case I get REALLY sad!
On one last note, I might be staying in the area because a law school nearby offers certificates for paralegal in real estate, estate administration or Intellectual Property (IP). I'm leaning towards IP but we'll see what happens!
I'm excited for the plans God has for me, and I'm thankful for my wonderful family and friends!
Bye, off to do some homework!

A Little Unusual....
hi!
Well, I am excited!
I completed the homework I needed to complete for Legal Research that was due Sunday; I completed my paper for evidence and if there is a worksheet for contracts, I will work on it tonight!
So, I officially like all types of music. Except rap...even then I like Lecrae, so I like all types!
I've been listening to country music and I like it mostly. I don't like what the radio plays except Lady A but they play a lot of crude stuff and my friends listen to pretty good stuff like:
Lady A
Blake Shelton's "God gave me you, Honeybee, and Boys round here" (yes, I even like that song!)
Band Perry's "Hip to my heart" (rest are about death)
Eric Church's "like Jesus does"
The Hennigsens's "American Beautiful"
Thompson Square's "Kiss me or not"
Keith Urban, "wanna love someone like you"
So, that's a few I like. I don't like Toby Keith or Kenny Chesney....
I like Taylor Swift but she's POP!!!!!
I like more country-ish stuff like Civil Wars and CCR....more bluey-ish music.
I wish it was Friday but again, I am enjoying this day by day stuff....
Tonight, I will be celebrating by reading Harry Potter!
Bye!

Am I Following? Part 2
hi ya'll!
Today is Wednesday (as most people say "Hump" day, lol) but it's two more days till my excited weekend of moving Rachel and Stephen move in their new house and having Janelle over the weekend where we will play clue and watch all the Hitchcock movies! (at least six, lol!)
Well, I have been listening to Andy Stanley, pastor of North Point Ministries, a huge church in Georgia. Someone recommended followseries.org to me and I have been enjoying listening to it.
He has been talking about following, and he had this:
Four stages of following:
1. Sit and listen
2. Loan Him the boat
3. Take Him Fishing
4. Leave your nets.
Mentioned in Mattew, Matthew, Peter, Andrew, John, and James just followed Jesus. No questions asked. Pastor Stanley said it's scary that they just follow a guy who they really didn't know. Apparently Luke though had a billion questions.
Growing up in the church as Pastor Stanley did, I know people who just follow Jesus. No questions. However, I know a lot of people who ask about money and where they will get the supplies they need to follow the LORD when it comes to missions.
But I think he also talks about generally following Jesus. He says it's a prerequisite to be a sinner to follow the LORD. The men who followed the LORD were not perfect and the men, sometimes did not have the best reputation (for instance, Matthew). But the more religious a person is, in my opinion, I think the harder it is for the person to follow Jesus.
When you're religious, you just think "I already follow Jesus. I go to church and I am a good person." As the pharisees believed but if you want/have a relationship with the LORD, then I think it can still be tough but you are willing to follow the LORD.
Whether you religious, irreligious, or a serious Christian, follow the LORD. As a Christian who sometimes struggles at school spiritually and likes to go through the motions and doesn't like the CCM group at her school, I know I am willing to follow the LORD. Why? Because I know it's worth it.
Not because of where I am going but because where He is leading me in life. I know He has great plans for me and I'm excited about them; sometimes scared especially whether or not I will travel, be married, and have kids, but I know whatever life He has chosen for me, I know it will be awesome!
That's all for now folks. There's nothing wrong with CCM; but a lot of the people there are not Christians and I wonder why they even come because the lessons are good; not fluffy but most of them do not take their faith seriously.
My Post High group is awesome. They take their faith seriously and I cannot wait for this opportunity to reach out to others through volleyball.
Well, I need to do some studying in contracts. Tomorrow is the quiz for evidence so I am going two days without lecture!
I hope to get all my homework done by Thursday night. Hopefully!
Again, that's all for now folks (Looney Tunes theme playing!)
Enjoy this beautiful day!

Enchanting Sixpence None The Richer: A Last Night Post
hi!
I'm sorry! I know I talk about the certain guy all the time, but I have been thinking about him.
I always have asked these questions myself:
First, off:
who? DUH!
But then:
What is he like?
Is he my age?
Is he in college? Graduated?
Did he even go to college?
What is he doing with his life now?
Is he dating someone else now? Engaged? Even Married?
Will he be divorced or widowed by the time I meet him? (Hey, it happens!) Most likely single though.
Is he a Christian? Is he not a Christian? Has he just become saved?
Also: is he thinking of these questions? Knowing most guys, NO! lol.
I know the guy won't complete me but I want to meet a guy who thinks I'm crazy cute, loves my quirks, and admires my faith, and considers room for more than friendship...even ASKS me out on a date and wants to spend time with me! Most of the guys I know make sure I am treated like of one the guys.
I am thankful for the majority of the crushes have not worked out but there were some I think if nurtured, would have blossomed.
But past is past, and I'm living in the present. LORD only knows who that dude is.
Will I get married? I'm giving it 80-90% with a 10% no because maybe God has different plans for me.
As of now, instead of moping of being single, I will take advantage of the opportunities I have now. I hope the LORD uses me more and more for His Kingdom (even when I'm married!) go on missions trips, do regular travel, also strengthen my relationship with the LORD and I hope to blossom into a confidant and mature woman. Right now, I'm kind of stuck of being girl and womanhood (I know, Britney Spears song!)
I'm still trying to figure it all out but I think with my faith in the LORD, I will trust Him more to help me out along the way!
But as for the guy, here's what I want:
1. A Christian. Someone who truly LOVES the LORD.
2. A Best Friend. Someone who wants to spend time with you. Wants to do stuff with you.
3. Smile. Someone you're excited to see and hang out with.
What I don't want:
1. Someone who says he is a "christian" but really isn't. Someone who doesn't really care for the LORD.
2. A Flirt. Someone who is not looking for anything serious. Won't even consider the idea of being with me.
3. Arguing. I know there will be arguments, but not the constant bickering and insults.
So, like I said, I am praying about it and I know God's great plans for me!
I am finishing up (AGAIN) Enchanted and listening to "Kiss Me...."
I am sorry if I'm driving ya'll crazy!
Goodnight,
Faith.

Am I Following?
Hi!
I recently was watching something from followseries.org which is run by North Point Ministries, and it was interesting how he talked about Matthew and how....Matthew just followed him!
No questions, asked, he just left his booth and went with him (Matthew 9:9).
Then he talked about if Christians really do follow Jesus or just religious like the pharisees the group always after Jesus, because they're religious and want to follow the rules, not Jesus!
Then he pointed out something I had to write down:

Then he pointed out something I had to write down:
"The more conscious
I am of the work God has yet to do in me,
the less critical I am of what
God has yet to do in you."
I realize, I am a sinner too! I am not perfect; just because I grew up in church all my life does not make me any better; sometimes, it can be dangerous because we get to that place where we judge other easily!
But I have realized that judging others is not a good things; but loving others is what Jesus wants us to do!
My parents always taught me never to judge a person based on their skin color or where they are in life but to love them as Jesus does.
At Post High, we talked about doing an outreach at a place where they have volley ball every Sunday. I am hoping more people our age become saved and realize Jesus is wonderful!
I have prayed that God can use me in one or another; sometimes I don't realize how God uses me in people's lives, but I am learning more and more He does use me; just not the way I expected it to be!
What else? Class went well last night. We talked about 2001 and how people think the future is really scary. And how boring the movie was, lol.
I enjoy my legal research class except the know it all. I try not to like an know it all because he really annoys me in class!
I have two more classes today, than I am done for the day!
I hope to get my homework due next week done by Thursday so I can have a homework free weekend!
Bye ya'll!
Faith.

Proverbs, Sex, and Carpe Diem....
hey y'all!
Well, last night at post high was interesting.
We talked about Proverbs and what it says about premarital sex, but I liked Matt, our leader said about connecting the three out of the four loves together.
He talked about how Eros, Agape (selfless love), and friendship love should come together in marriage. Not in other type of relationship.
He also pointed out about how Adam "knew" Eve. They of course were married and had the first special bond together.
It was awkward, mostly because you never know what to say but I think it's good for everyone to learn about.
We live in a culture where people are suppose to have sex outside of marriage to fulfill their "needs." whereas in marriage, you're suppose to fulfill your spouses "needs" It's hard to explain but I'm hoping when I get married, I won't be soo scared about it!
But before I go into any gross details about that stuff, I want to talk about seizing the day.
I was listening to the Christian Radio and the pastor was talking about "seizing the day"
We want to go college, get married, have kids, get a great jobs, have grandkids, and retire. We never live in the moment. We are always impatient for the next thing. Life is precious and we should live in the moment.
So, I think I needed to hear that. I worry about after college; marriage; kids; and my career choice when I should focus on schoolwork, my relationship with the LORD and becoming a more mature person.
But speaking of school, I have class tonight, a worksheet and a quiz to work on tonight and tomorrow.
Okay, bye!

Red Red Redneck!
haha hi!
Lately, I have discovered that I like my Skook roots. True, I don't chew, smoke, drink, don't go fourwheeling, hunting, and fishing but I like my roots!
Since my job's in town, I feel part of the community when at one time I did not.
However, lately thinking about the future, I wonder if it's worth it to go to college?
You might think, what the heck is this girl talking about?!
I think about my friends who did not go to college. They work fulltime, but they do fun stuff like go four wheeling, go on their motorcycles, fishing, hunting, and just relax....they even go to other states!
Me, I have school five days a week, I work every Saturday and Sunday; I do have time for relaxing but I still study.
However, I am done in a year and a half, and then freedom...sort of, lol.
I know it'll be especially hard since I want to live on my own after graduation; I am hoping for a nice apartment or house, that my baby TJ will still be running, and that I will be ever to travel a lot....
I told my co-worker since I'm not getting married, I am getting a motorcycle and a mini cooper. Then my Mom told me to shut up!
But understand the logic behind it: I am the hardest time finding a great guy. They're out there but they're not looking for me!
I know you're rolling your eyes, telling me to shut up and stop obsessing with it. True, it's not going to make him come any faster but it would nice to know there's a guy who likes me for me!
But if I were a redneck, I wouldn't care for boys!!! I would want to be one of them! lol!
I know I won't be a redneck...probably never. I'm probably not a true Pennsylvanian. I'm just the person God created to me, which is the crazy but totally lovable Faith!
Okay, I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine. We were suppose to have fondue tonight however, I think it's nachos tonight at LOFT!
Even though I'm not ever be a redneck, I think I'm warming up to country music, hence the title!
Bye!

But if I were a redneck, I wouldn't care for boys!!! I would want to be one of them! lol!
I know I won't be a redneck...probably never. I'm probably not a true Pennsylvanian. I'm just the person God created to me, which is the crazy but totally lovable Faith!
Okay, I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine. We were suppose to have fondue tonight however, I think it's nachos tonight at LOFT!
Even though I'm not ever be a redneck, I think I'm warming up to country music, hence the title!
Bye!

Chilly Day...
Hi!
Well, I'm a little bit of everything: happy, sad, tired, and frustrated!
However, I think the frustration is over.
I went to one of my favorite parks today: Sweet Arrow Lake. It's a beautiful place with a water falls and different trails. It's not a big place, but I can remember that place ever since I was little.
I remember when it was empty and was pretty useless; however, throughout the years, they have made it very fancy.
It was a bit chilly today, but I enjoyed it!
Now, I am home, chilaxin till work, which will hopefully go fast and I hope to work on some more homework.
Okay, bye for now!

Raise your Glass...and country music....
Hey!
Well, today is a little yucky. The weather acts like it's going to rain but it hasn't yet.
However, since is a non lecture type of day: in contracts, we'll be working in groups and working on a hypothetical contract; evidence, no lecture! We're working on a project in the library so....no lecture!!!! LOL!!!
Then a bunch of us are going to get yummy crud from the diner and watch Office Space...a weird film about the office....(not show, an office in an company)
Anyway, I am excited for this weekend to start! Tomorrow, I go home and work in pm, instead of the usual am.....
Then I work again on Sunday and go to LOFT!
On a random note, I want to learn more about country music, but there are SO MANY artists, Idk where to start!
Sometimes I feel like a city slicker with my friends who love country music, so I want to learn more....I'll have to ask Miss Janelle!
However, I don't think I will ever LOVE it but I can tolerate it!
Okay, I am off to class!!! So excited for the whole day to end soon!

Two Worlds, one Family....
Hi!
I slept in till 11!
Since my one class is only Tues-Thurs and my next class is not till later....so I get to sleep in!
Of course, I stayed up late, watched Tarzan, reading a novel called "Paris Wife" about Ernest Hemingway's first wife Hadley Richardson. Yes, I am a little obsessed with Paris.
Tarzan is interesting. People are upset because he is portrayed as "perfect." However, aren't most male characters portrayed that way anyway?
Hello, Edward? Jacob? Prince Charming? Peeta? Gale? Mr. Darcy?! They all have flaws but people love them anyway!
I want to read the Tarzan and the novel about Jane's perspective even though it is a bad novel apparently (the author Robin Maxwell, is not faithful supposedly)
But the nice thing about fiction is that you can create anyone no matter how unrealistic they are. I love fiction because you can escape the real world and forget what is around you!
I don't really understand what people have against reading and make fun of you when you say you love it. But whatever;
I am a geek, but I am proud of it! However, I think my professor has gone crazy!
For my contracts class, we have a worksheet and we have to rhyme a poem!
Talk about "Holy Crap!"
Okay, bye!
-Faith.

Discombobulated
Hi!
Well...wow!
I watched 2001: A Space Odessey...and I actually liked it!
For the most part, anyway, lol. I say the last 20-30 minutes was a little dragging and confusing....
In the first part, it's basically about evolution; as a Christian I don't believe in evolution but of course, most of Hollywood and Sci-Fi stuff do.
It showed how the apes formed throughout time. Of course, I was surprised when people laughed there was a basic example of evolution: survival of the fittest.
I believe that monkey they were all killing was probably weak, so, in order to survive, according to evolution, you kill the weakest link. In my opinion, that kind of happens during the movie when HAL (someone said he is similar to IBM) killed all those people and not letting Dave back in the ship.
If you see any sci-fi show or movie (I-Robot) of course the basic lesson is: when you screw with technology, it'll screw you over as well.
Even in the book, I-Robot, Assimov thought there were going to be fully functioning robots in 2005. If you know anything about I-Robot with Will Smith, you know that's not the case!
The other lesson is always never letting technology take control of your life. However, as society today, we have done that especially with cell phones.
It has gotten to the point where people will text in class! I will say once I text BUT it was a night class and I thought we were going to be let out early. Silly me! But I have never texted since.
It was especially hard last night to stay awake because I keep having horrible coughing spells where I feel like I am choking and I looked like I had a crying fest.
I have this horrible tickle in my throat and I hope it goes away soon because I had to leave both classes (last night's and today's) TWICE!
Even the cough drops don't work! I have to resort to water!!! NOOOO!!!!
But, I am enjoying Legal Research. While most people find it boring, I love it!
Most of my classes are going well. Evidence is kind out of my element but I am around Criminal Justice majors so I hope I can get a better feel of it.
So, I am off to study for a contracts quiz!
But the title is post is how I described the movie and the song Zendaya from DWTS danced from. It's from the soundtrack of Sherlock Holmes by the great Hans Zimmer! She danced an amazing Argentine Tango and received the first 10's (score: 29) of the season! There is something wrong with Len (head judge, lol)

Restaurant Hoppin'
Hi!
Yesterday was crazay!
I went to church (good as usual) worked 11-3, left to go to see my school's baseball team LOSE big time!
I went to strausstown church and waited...and waited...and waited...till the crew came!
All together it was Lance, Van, Jake, Janelle, and myself. We were suppose to go for Mexican Food, then it changed to Friendly's, then it changed to Red Robin (too crowded) some steak house (too crowded again!)
We ended up at Pizza Hut where I had chicken alfredo and breadsticks. It was good.
We went to Cabela's where Van and I were really hyper and looking at all the fish. Jake was zoned in; this is his world. Me on the other hand, kept saying "fishies!"
We got frosties at Wendy's and talked for hours and hours.
We all got to know each other and I had a lot of fun!
Today, I got to see Grace and her girlies Marianne and Darla. Marianne is soo silly; we would play games and start laughing hysterically! I held Darla for a bit, and she fell asleep. Idk why, but every time I hold a baby, I just start rocking back and forth. I didn't realize I was even doing it.
They look so much alike! I hope when they're older they start changing because like my sister and I, they will be called twins and will be mixed up all the time, especially Darla!
Now, I am back school chilaxin, till I see "2001."
In other news, Janelle's awesome present was "Clue: Hitchcock edition" we're both excited to play it!
I need to get ready for class!
Bye!

Beep Beep-Some Nights....
Hi!
It is great to be home. I had a great day at work and I am excited to hang out with my "weekend friends!"
Tomorrow, I have church, work 11-3, then my school's baseball game, and real deal Mexican Food!
Busy, busy, busy day! But I am excited for it.
Even though I complain a lot and I am sad during the week, I am thankful for my weekend friends who love me and we have so much fun together!
I had a customer when I passed her, I said "excuse me" and all she said was,
"Beep Beep"
Haha!
Bye!

Week #1 Summary
Hi ya'll!
Well, it has been a crazy week that has me thankful today is Friday!
Monday, I went to my class, where we read "The Sentinel" which turned into the movie "2001: Space Odyssey" and we're going to watch the movie.
Then afterward, I went out for burgers with my friend (just friend) David. We had a good time, and then the next day is Tuesday.
Tuesday, I went to my first class and I am really excited for it! My professor was saying it would be boring but I am excited for it!
I got a call from Avril she needed to go to Harrisburg, so I took her and her friend there. However, when I parked my car, it would not start again. I ended up being in H-burg for 4 hours and missed two classes.
However, my friend Beth came to the rescue and took my baby to the worst part of town, but the mechanic was good and fixed the car.
Wednesday, I went to my other two classes, and I am exited for them as well!
I went to CCM and it was good. I just wish people were friendlier. Sadly, Avril cannot make it, which makes me sad. She's my new roommate. I really like her. She's truly a wonderful Christian.
That is problem with my school; people are not friendly and do not want friends or have friends. That is why sometimes I want to transfer. I love my classes and the people in my major are cool but I wish I lived on my own and did not feel so lonely.
I wish I was more of an introvert. I am quiet but I need to be talking to people a lot!
I am glad to be going home where I can see my "weekend" friends (which will be Lance, Van, and Janelle) go to a baseball game, and eat Mexican Food!
There was other drama but it's private.
I hope this term goes fast and I hope I can meet more friends!
I need to go to my contracts class! I am really enjoying that class. Very hands on and he is an awesome professor!

Being Sick: Two More Days Left!
Hi!
It's official: I have a cold!
However, due to a lot of resting, taking meds, eating crackers, listening to Christian music, and watching Warehouse 13 for the past two days, I am feeling much better. (I stayed in the living room because it was relaxing)
The only hard part is working.
I worked at 6:45am Thursday and I was tired. I worked last night 5-8 and I basically passed out. Now I work today 2-8 and tomorrow 9-3! (Yes, I am a heathen!) then school starts Monday!
So, I am hoping I am 100% better by Monday because I want to see Gracie and the two ladies!
In other news, I will be going to Post High because I want to see people before I go back. I am excited/nervous because I will have a roommate. She's the sweetest person ever but I have not shared a room with somebody in over 13 years!
Rachel and I use to share a room back in my old house but we've had our own rooms since 2000. Plus, my former (non) roommate never stayed.
But I know God will take care of me. I know He controls my life and I am thankful for it!
What else? I have an awesome present for Janelle but I am not saying what is because it's too awesome!!!
Well, enjoy the beautiful sunshine today and hopefully it warms up!

5 Days Left/Locked Out Of Heaven....
hi!
Well, last night and today have been great!
Last night, I went to Rachel's and Stephen's, where they will be moving in their house in the next couple of weeks. It's an awesome place!
Today, I went out with Helen, (she is like the grandma I never had!) and we went out for a late breakfast.
Tomorrow, I work early in the am (had to miss movie night!) :( then I get to see Grace and the ladies, which makes me happy!
I am starting to get ready for school. I am excited/nervous for this new experience. I am half ready and half not; mostly because I have class right on Monday and a new roommate. She's sweet, but in MY room!
What else? I work everyday from Thurs-Sun then post high, then starting another chapter!
Honestly, I like the chorus of the song, but not the rest. Why does everybody have to be obsessed with sex?!
I mean in Heaven, people aren't having sex and I'm pretty sure Hell is the same way.
I have some hilarious stories of advice about sex. Mostly: either you're not ready or read as many books to prepare for something you have never done!
Okay, bye!

One More Week/10,000 Reasons
Hi!
Well, I have one more week till school.
A New Term. A New Beginning. New Classes. A New Roommate!
I have accomplished most of things I needed to do except send my textbooks back soon, clean my room, and see more friends!
Tomorrow, I get to see Rachel and Stephen; cannot wait to go and spoil my kitty niece and nephew!
Though I was playing with Janelle's niece and nephew and I realized I cannot wait to become a real aunt. They're going to go laser tagging, watch old movies, read amazing books, and go to concerts and shows with me!
I realize not having a fiance, husband or boyfriend, I just wish I had nieces and nephews NOW!
As for basketball, we are down to the final four and I hope it's Louisville vs. Syracuse. Cuse is the only private school!
Poor Baylor ladies; they lost to Louisville and Baylor is the one of the best girls teams!
I'm excited for school, especially my legal research class. I have been dying to take that classes for forever!
I also get to finish Harry Potter #6 and start #7!
Tonight is DWTS and just relaxing before the busy ahead of seeing Rachel & Stephen, working, getting ready for school, seeing more friends, and getting into school mode!
I have a billion reasons to be thankful for my Savior and for the blessings I receive!
Okay bye!
