It is about that time again.  No one flipping comments unless I put up some picture action (except Kearsten, I love Kearsten)... so here you go.  Enjoy.

The most perfect snow ever, outside my window. :)x09182734.

Me and Hale got in a BIG fight, right Court?   Check out that sweet bruise!

Well, this one night, me and Bets were supposed to be typing our papers.  This is what we actually did... we shaved Daniel's leg while he took a nap.  We pretended to fight.  We did retarded things.  Had a sleepover... whatever.  That is my head down there.

I won't even pretend to know I know what's going on in the rest of these... yikes.

and... edited for the greater good of humankind...

And other good times... in the bathroom...

I don't even know.

and...

Sooooooo... I hope you enjoyed those.  We're all on crack most days.  Which explains everything you just saw.  Ok.  I expect many comments.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Things I'm thankful for:
1. I know what I'm doing with my life.
2. Bethel is paid for... at least for now.
3. Snowflakes.
4. Friends who love me, that I can laugh with and have fun with and catch up with and miss and meh, I am just thankful for them.
5. A warm house to stay in.  It's cold outside.
6. Food - being able to eat. I get sick when I eat, but dang, how many people don't eat at all?!
7. A nice warm bed and pillow, glorious.
8. Music. I breathe it.
9. My fam. My mommy and daddy who love me and support me!  And my brothers, Austin, who just turned 16, he's precious and he gets his lisence next week, dang. And Andy, who PTL is being good, and I had an actually conversation with him tonight, PTL!!  He's a good kid. Oh, and my grandparents. They are too precious and so cute and they get so excited when I come home, it makes me happy.
10. God's love.  Because I don't deserve it, but he loves me anyways.  Just everything.  I am too blessed.

Enjoy your Thanksgivings.  Don't forget to be thankful.  Love your families.  Appreciate your space.  Love it.

This has nothing to do with Thanksgiving:

It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky
It seems like yesterday I didnt know how hard I could cry
It feels like tomorrow I may not get back
But I will try
I will try wipe the tears from my eyes

I'm beautifully broken and I don't mind if you know it
I'm beautifully broken and I don't care if I show it

Every day is a new day I'm reminded of my past
Everytime theres another storm I know that it wont last
Every moment I'm filled with hope
cause i get another chance
But I will try I will try
Got nothing left to hide

That is my new favorite song.

I LOVE YOU!!!

Last night at Vespers we talked about quiet.  Psalms 46:10.  And the first thing that popped in my head was camp.  And my girls.  Awwww.  I miss them.  And everyone.  And I decided that I really want to work at camp again.  I can't afford it.  But it was the best summer ever.

So in memory, here's allll my campers.  Every week.  I love them.  And I just wanted to remember...

Junior 1:

Junior 2:

Junior High 1:

Junior High 2:
what up.

again, "normal"

Junior High 3:
we look normal.

once again... not at all.

Kids campers:
so precious...

Aaaaaaaand, senior high.

Oh, Herbert...

Oh camp, how I miss thee...

I am at a loss for words.  Don't you hate that?

Well, here's a little somethin' somethin' to cheer me up.  And you.

Snow.  The first snow.  11.15.05.  All of which is now gone.  Poo.

It will snow again.

And I will frollic with my love.

And I will go sledding with my friends.  On trash bags and DC trays.

I can't wait for that day.

So I haven't really been into xanga as much as I used to be.  But today is a new day.  Oh, and wishes do come true.  IT SNOWED!!!    I'm so happy!

DCB and Shane's show tonight.  It was amazing.  I've been to a concert or two, but DCB and the Shane's is like a gift from God!  Not that other bands aren't sweet.  I like music, and dang, it doesn't take much for me to be excited about it.  And I've seen both groups multiple times before.  But worshipping corporately with musicians that talented and that on fire is so sweet.  PTL!!!!!  I really, really, really needed it.  And funny story, Chach paparatzied Shane Barnard!  The freaking orange light was shining in his eyes and he looks like a deer paralyzed in your headlights.  Hahahaha.  And we prayed out by the busses with one of the roadies.  It was sweet.  It kind of seems lame, but I think we made his day.  Anyways.  I should be studying.  Just thought I'd freak out about my sweet day to someone.  It was sweet!!!!

I sing for grace
For grace it lets me sing
And all I’ve ever seen or heard
Or haven’t seen or heard
It’s His
There is no other
All of this is but the fringes

"Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?" (Job 26:14)
