The Da Vinci Code..

So I decided to read The Da Vinci Code...it's actually got some really interesting stuff in it. But it's also got some stuff in it that's not so good. Stuff about God that if you really aren't firm in your faith may cause you to doubt some of the stuff that we learn at church. So just a warning...if you're going to read it just know that there is some controversial stuff in it....and some stuff that if you really don't know much about Christ could cause you to be confused.

On another note...finished my first week back at work...I'm exhausted. I'm ready to get back into the routine of things haha. But school starts Monday so it's going to take some time to get used to the new schedule...yipee!

Was I ready??

Today was the first day of work...
I. Am. Exhausted. I really don't know if I was completely ready for today haha but it actually went rather well I'd say...

I wonder...

So work starts Wednesday...I'm excited!! Can't wait to meet all the new kiddies...thought I do have to wonder how many new kids we're getting. Should be an interesting first day.

We're painting my room tomorrow!! I'm stoked. It's going to be amazing!! I'm super excited!!!! These are the colors!



Getting my hair cut Tuesday morning...short. I'm a little apprehensive about it...but I'm excited at the same time! Here's a picture.



This week's a big week of change! It's exciting!!

Frisco!!

Yup. Tomorrow Nicole, Emily, and I are going to Frisco to see Wicked!! This was my 18th birthday present haha!! I'm excited!

New...

So...my room is going to be painted and improved!! I'm excited...kinda getting tired of the bright pink walls I've had since I was like 12. Not exactly sure what I'm gonna do yet...any suggestions??

Also...thinking of getting a new hair cut. Going for a shorter style. What do you think??

I think I'm at the time in my life where I'm ready to grow up and move on...move away from the things that have been hindering me and actually focus on the things that are important...like getting into school and actually working my way towards a career...even if I'm not so sure about what that career's going to be yet. It's definitly time!

His will.

That's what I strive to live. God's will for my life. I've had to make some of the hardest decisions of my life in the past year and I had to make the most painful one last night. I am heartbroken...but I know that it was the right thing to do. I just wish I could've spared the heart and feelings of the person I hurt...and I apologize to him. I just hope that things can be ok between us again eventually...even if they aren't now.


I'm sorry.

Confused..

I have so many things running through my head right now...I don't even know what to think. I pretty much just wanna cry. This summer's been one of the best of my life...but some of the things that have happened have made me second guess some things and now I'm all mixed up. Ugh!


God I need your help right now! More then anything!! Direct my thoughts and my actions in the way You want them to go!! I don't want to make any mistakes with the decisions I'm making at this point in my life!! Amen!

Holy cow!

It's been a reeeeeeeallyyy long time since I've written anything haha. My bad!! I have to be honest...I have been seriously busy the past few weeks. Wow!! This has been the most amazing summer of my entire life...BY FAR!!
So I don't remember the last time I wrote so I can't remember what the last thing I wrote about was haha so I'm just going to start somewhere and hope I haven't already written about it haha.

My family went houseboating at lake don pedro the last week of July. It was such a great week!! Very relaxing. Very fun!! Definitly didn't want to leave.
The Monday after we got back a big group of us (Jeremy, Jake, Melissa, Debbie, Debbie's boyfriend, Jessica, Nicole, Shaun, Julie, and Cooper) went out to the fair in Turlock to see the Newsboys. It was a blast! Quite an adventure haha...we didn't get home until like 1:30 AM. Craziness! Wednesday Matt, Liz, Jessica and I went out to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. Fun stuff!! Thursday I know I did something but for the life of me I can't remember what it was lol. Dang it! Then Friday the college group went to San Fransisco to see the King Tut exhibit thingy. Interesting. And then we(Jessica, Jeremy, Matt, David B., Amanda, Stephen, and I) went to Todd and Sherry's and just hung out for a while. Saturday we had an Office party at Emily's house haha. Overload of The Office...let me tell you. But it was definitly fun. Then yesterday night after church we (Ben, Brian, Matt, Liz, Melissa, Jake, Jeremy, Jessica, Emily, some kid named Robby and I) went and got In N Out and went to my house to just hang out!!! Amazing! It was a goodbye get together for Jeremy who went home this morning. We're all gonna miss him! Anyways...I think I got everything in there haha. Told ya I was busy lol!!

I've been trying to slow down lately and focus on God more. One of my friends reminded me that if God is my co-pilot I need to switch seats!! That's so true! I've got to realize that my life is in God's hands and that it's not up to me to decide what happens.

Well I suppose it's time to go to bed =] But I will try to keep up here from now on haha!
