B-b-b-benny and the Jets

I love coming back to visit...especially when I get to surprise people I haven't seen in almost a year.

I love coming to a place where the people have watched me grow up and become the person I am.

I love buying a drink from a bartender who I used to sit and watch jeopardy with.

I love introducing people to the places I grew up at.

And I love singing Benny and the Jets with K while joking about her dancing on the bar.


Today we branded calves. I helped with giving the cows shots and then there were enough people that we, K and I, were not really needed, so we just stood around for a while before coming back and chilling out before going and eating the best cheeseburgers in the world and the best pie ever!!

The Kozy Korner has the best pie that anyone could ever make!!

And tomorrow morning my grandma is making us biscuits and gravy for breakfast!! My favorite!! :)

And tonight we are going to go look at some stars later on, and hopefully some northern lights.

Jesus, please give us some northern lights!!

Also today I got to pick sweet peas. Which are blooming unusually late this year. I love how God romances me. He knows how much I love the sweet peas, and he held them off long enough so that I would actually get to see them this year. I picked one and I'm pressing it in my journal. I wish I could pick a bouquet of them for my wedding bouquet whenever I get married, but I'm not sure that will happen.

So now we are going out...Please Jesus!

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
