Days until..

The other day I made a list with a few friends, while we were in class, of course. It is a list of the things that we have to look forward to. Here are just a few that make the cut as being important.

7 days until the new Harry Potter movie
12 days until Thanksgiving
27 days until Dead week
32 days until done with fall semester finals
43 days until Christmas
46 days until my birthday
50 days until the year 2011
and the most important thing…411 days until my 21st BIRTHDAY!!

Needless to say it is a every exciting list.

It's been more than a month.

Sorry everyone for not posting anything in several weeks! Life has just gotten away from me.

So Halloween is on it's way and it is the beginning of the holiday season. Excitement!

Halloween, I would say is probably my least favorite out of all the holidays during the year. Of course, I dislike it more as I get older. I don't like getting dressed up or getting scared. Ghosts and goblins can stay away from me as well. I will go through a haunted house only if I have a really good friend hold my hand the entire time.

In other news, my little sister, who turned 15 earlier this month, will be on her way to the FFA National Convention tomorrow morning at 5am. FFA was a big part of my life in high school and I hope she has a wonderful time, along with everyone else attending.

Well until next time. (:

busy bee.

I feel like I am too busy to even write anything any more, or that anything in my life has happened to write about. I wake up go to class, go to work, go to meetings, go home, do homework, study and that's it. Oh yeah and I sleep but very little. And guess what it is only Tuesday.

Bible verse to cheer me up: "Give new signs and work new wonders; show forth the splendor of your right hand." - Sirach 36:5

Only Me.

Here is a short, little comical story (well to you). This morning I went to the gas station to fill up on gas for my truck. Thanks Daddy for reminding me to look at the gas gauge every now and then. So I pull into the pump and begin fueling, I notice the trigger is broken when I put the nozzle in, but did not think anything of it. My gas tank is now full after 20.214 gallons, so I stopped the pump, or so I thought. I pull out the nozzle and gas is still coming out, but I made this realization too late because I am now covered in gas. Wonderful. Note my sarcasm here. With a few tears because of the burning I finally make it home (after waiting for road construction). So who has twice the amount of clothes to wash tonight? This girl. Only this type of thing happens to me. Oh yeah and it rained on me today, and no I did not have an umbrella.

Life Here Recently.

Everyone has been telling me that I should write a book and that my life is so interesting. I laugh when people say this, but I have been thinking about it. I am kind of writing a book, little by little, on this blog! (Ahh mind is blown!) Friends tell me this because within the past, oh I don’t know three weeks so much has happened to me. Should I start with just today? Let us see I had a fight with my Chi, and it won. (I have a little bruise above my left eye.) Saturday was an eventful day. From a fun filled surprise birthday party to a photo shoot with some cousins to my Jack Russell having too much violence in his life and enough to make me have a small stroke! Earlier this month, I have had friends and family in the hospital, everything happening from broken noses to babies. Weddings almost every weekend (although I have no problem with weddings, I happen to like those). Getting horrible looking scars from river trips and having loud nights on the town. Computers are breaking down on me and costing me more money than they should. Then there are classes starting up, organizations and teams to be a part of, getting into the swing of things at the new job and having time with new and old friends (somehow I managed to water the plants this evening). Life has been crazy, but it wouldn’t be life without all of it. So people, here is my book. Maybe when life slows down a bit I will break it into bigger and more detailed chapters, but for now, fewer than 300 words in a paragraph is pretty good (everyone knows how I love to talk).

Fish Can Fly Too.

School has started and that means freshmen. Here is my blog about my advice to them. As freshmen you are excited and scared, curious and yet timid, shy and outgoing. How can you be all these things at once? Well have you ever been on Texas A&M campus? It is pretty big! I don’t even know where everything is and probably never will! If you want to make campus feel smaller join one or two organizations. There are so many opportunities to be a part of something. You say you don’t know which one to be a part of? My advice, FIND YOUR NICHE! I found mine right away, but some are not as lucky as me. Go to MSC Open House! It is this Sunday from 1-5 pm at Reed Arena and some booths are at Koldus. Just go. No excuses, I will be there. For the more experienced students please encourage the young ones to go, it won’t kill you to help them find their way around campus either. Say “howdy” and smile. Go to class and meet people. Spread your wings fish!

Family

“Plans fail when there is no counsel, but they succeed when counselors are many.” Proverbs 15:22

As I went through today, I couldn’t help but think of this one sentence. You know like a catchy song that you can’t get out of your head. Unlike most teenagers (yes I still consider myself that, I am just 19.), I talk to my parents, a lot. I sometimes have five to six different conversations with my mom in one day and my dad too! Grandparents, aunts and uncles as well! I have a very tight nit family. We are all in each other’s business and of course we all love it! But I can’t help but to think my life would have been so different if it wasn’t for them. I have a huge support group that basically has made me who I am today. One of my older cousins, Abby, is actually pregnant right now (about to have little Miss Ryla Cate any day). New life is so special! And I cannot help but to feel blessed for this little girl! She has so many people that are ready for her arrival and can’t wait to welcome her into the world. I know so many people in today’s society do not have what I have or what Ryla Cate will have. I thank the Lord everyday for my family. My advice is to love the ones that you have been given. Life is not what you have, it is who you have.

New Beginnings

As summer draws to a close I thought that I would start a new thing, blogging! I really never thought that it would be me here doing this type of writing, but the more I thought about it the more I thought really that blogging is my kind of style. I have always enjoyed writing just for myself and if this is a way to get my stuff out there, well then here it goes! This summer has been too short, from summer school to Texas FFA State Convention with Animal Science Aggie REPs to the fabulous weddings to a new job to finding time to spend with friends and family, I barely have had time to spend at home and just relax with my new addition to the family, my Jack Russell terrier, Gus. With school starting in two weeks, I thought I would get some "fun" reading in before the semester begins. The new movie, "Eat. Pray. Love." coming out (today actually) I convinced myself to read this book. I usually don't read books that have been made into movies simply because they are being made into a movie. This one though I felt I needed to read. It is a great read! I am absolutely in love with it. I am even considering taken up Yoga. Maybe. Elizabeth Gilbert really opened up my eyes to different things that I can explore. I for sure want to visit Italy now. Who knows maybe a study abroad trip? Pennies will be saved! I just thank God every day that I can have that opportunity. Oh the powers of simple words.
