oh my gosh, life is good. like i can't even explain how incredible God is- how He works is mind blowing. i'm so fulfilled by Him & my contentment is like nothing i've felt in a long time. i have such peace about every part of my life. yes, i miss my grandfather, yes, there are situations i wish were different, yes, i struggle with a bajillion sin issues like trusting God, worry, gossip, complaining, comparing myself to others, pulling the "how is that fair?" card to God, patience, selfishness, judging, making enough time for Jesus, etc. etc. i suck, but God is constantly working on me & bettering me & making me more like Him. it's pretty great.

we just added another girl to our lifegroup & i'm super excited about it. she is a perfect addition & i thank God for her.

work is amazing- getting busier by the minute, but so perfect for me. i still can't believe how God lined that up. makes me just trust Him more. He's so faithful, geez. it's been great actually having a steady paycheck, too & being able to bless people in different ways- friends & strangers alike.

i had the best time at the fair this year (yes, i went 5 times).

a group of us went to see underoath in charlotte & it was the jam. i crowd surfed, got busted, & loved it. 2 knots on my head & bruises everywhere. worth it. for example...


another group went to see matt wertz monday nite. love love love him. i'veseen him a bunch of times, but it just never gets old. i went to college with his tour manager & he put me on the list to get in for free. rad. we all went to art bar & hung out afterwards- so fun chatting with everyone & making new friends. the back-up band guys were freakin hilarious. really enjoyed their company. check out some matt.


friday nite i'm going to see a movie i've been waiting on for ages. it may or may not be called high school musical 3. i know i'm lame, but i freakin love it. mostly because it's a musical & i'm in love with musicals (i tried to audition for something at workshop recently but the call was for 8-20 year olds. i know i could have pulled off 20, but eh, maybe next time around). not like i'd have time for that anyway, but i still love it. i think i cried when i saw high school musical 1- not because it was sad or a great movie (i mean it WAS a great movie) but because i wish i was in it. that can't be healthy. anyway, zac efron is gonna be killing me softly, too. i don't care how old that mug is- age ain't nothin but a number. i've gone out with guys 6 years older than me & 5 years younger than me. i don't care, it's about the person & the connection. and zac is some kind of person. let me stop lusting. add that to my sin list at the top. gah, i suck so bad.



moving on, one of my friends is going to let me come with him to see rascal flatts & taylor swift tomorrow nite for FREEEEE. i'm pumped. i've seen RF before (whaddya know- at the state fair, my home away from home) but i'm dying to see some taylor. i love her & i want to be her bff. yay. it's gonna be mad fun.

i've had lots of halloween party invites this year & i'm STILLLL trying to figure out my costume. i've actually got one friday nite so i better get to steppin.

trying to get out of jury duty for next week.

going to see columbia city ballet's Dracula next week. it's so scandalous, but oh so good!

lydia is coming up soon & i've been getting to be myspace friends with the drummer. hopefully we can meet & chat at the show.

friggin taking back sunday is coming to w-salem in december & i'm crapping my pants with glee.

my 1st baptism service was awesome!!! kim & i "worked the street" as greeters. abi elrod told us to show some leg (joking, of course). hilarious.

i love all the friends in my life right now, too- God has blessed me with incredible people that i could call anytime & count on for whatever i need. it's the best!

finally, i can't stop listening to these 2 songs. we listened to them on the way home from UO.
