7 days until freshman orientation and class registration.

8 days until I get to drive home...alone... but home nonetheless.

47 days until college starts!

23 weeks and 4 days until Christmas, too, if you're wondering. ;)

He did not believe. He needed proof.

And so Thomas put his hands into the wounds of Jesus. In His hand. In His side.
And Jesus asked him to believe. To test Him. To restore his faith.
To touch, and to believe.

"Blessed are those who believe without seeing."

We don't need to see Jesus. We do not need to feel, to believe. The point is to close your eyes ( Read more... )

 Happy 4/20, everyone!

It's going quite nicely. I'm going swimming with Wayne (not Dwayne...that's a story for another time), I got done everything I needed to get done in school, and today was the last day of school for the week. Which means it's officially

SPRING BREAK. :)

Ocean City, anyone? 

 Tennessee was so much fun. Spent time with Mom, Terry, Terrie-Lynn, Eddie, Anthony, DeWanna, Peyton, Brandon, Junior, Kim, John Curtis, Stephanie, MaKayla... I love my step family. I really do. Thank God for people like them ( Read more... )

Went to work Christmas Eve, 3 to closing (left about 8:00). I was put on drive-thru, which isn't as bad as it used to be. I look forward to the occasional break from register and front centerpost ( Read more... )

Christmas Break started on Monday. Finally put the tree up and decorated it. Made chocolate chip cookies. Spent Tuesday at Sami's house, laughing hysterically at everything (I always feel so good with her).

My AP English teacher passed out a piece of paper today with a list of what we're supposed to read for the next month. A short story every night, essays every other day... He calls it "AP Boot Camp."
Yeah? Well it can kiss my ass.
I mean Mr. B. is a really nice guy, and I can tell he's passionate about literature, but my gosh we can only do so much ( Read more... )

 Since Friday night, I've been hanging out with Mom and Terry, who drove up from Tennessee for Easter. 
By the way:

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!

It was hard saying goodbye today. I cried when I got home, but as long as I remember that I'll be with her in 11 weeks, I'll be okay.
This summer is going to be awesome. No Brandon to break my heart (he'll be in ( Read more... )
