alpine was great....tons of fun. yesterday too. i seem to have a lot more joy lately. oh, and my voice is still at alpine (in the words of courtney d). i'm trying to get it to come home, but i can't blame it....alpine is a great place to be :)

the snack that smiles back.

me + packing = fun

so i'm about to start packing for alpine! hip hip hurray! i got some goldfish for the trip, but i accidentally grabbed the cracker kind (with no cheese). but that's okay.....i guess i can live without cheese...maybe ;)
see you there!

good'ay mate.

i got to miss 4th and 5th period at school today due to the dentist appointment scheduled for 11am. yes. while i was sitting in the waiting room, there was an older lady sitting across from me sitting quietly and sweet, like old people do. her husband walked into the waiting room after his appointment and they chatted about his teeth while he gently helped her up from her chair. as they went on about other various things, he held her purse (which was quite large for such a tiny lady) while she got her cane and offered to carry it to the car for her. they were so sweet and polite, saying goodbye to everyone in the waiting room as they walked out. it was incredibly sweet :) after my appointment i ate yummy chinese with my daddy. it has been a good day :)

discoveries of yesterdays:

afternoons are my favorite part of my days (between 3:45 and 6)
watching mockingbirds is fun. they hop like bunnies then a second later they are completely still.
the wicker chair on the porch is a great reading nook
the metal scraping thing at the dentist annoys me
bees look alot less intimidating buzzing around flowers
i take my time reading books
watching and hearing the wind fly through trees is amazing
Yahweh can be translated "present rescuer"
the Son of righteousness is rising :)

yup :o)

we should get jerseys
cause we make a good team, but yours would look better than mine
cause you're out of my league...we've got it going on!!!

really good week=this week
really exciting weekend=this weekend

i have to go pack for onething. packing is fun to me. i enjoy traveling with the cool people i associate with. seeing them when they're crazy from lack of sleep, long car rides, or just because that's who they are (which is most :p); and seeing them when they're.......just themselves. i like knowing that i'm going somewhere new (or old...or whatever) and thinking about what it is going to be like, and then getting there and it being completely different than i was thinking. it's funner (that's right. i said funner) that way. all this to say.....i like onething and i like people and i like traveling and most of all...i like my Beloved.

is it any wonder....

it snowed yesterday :)
i've been praying for snow since the beginning of winter. thanks Jesus.
that's pretty crazy that in the middle of all His interceding He finds time to give snow to dothan.
He is flipping awesome. i love Him. i am His and He is mine. my soul He keeps.
