HE'S BACK!!!!!!!! (me)

So I haven’t written a real blog since June 24th. But don’t worry you’ve only missed the most eventful moments of my life… :)

Allow me to summarize. Here’s what’s been going on in my life:

  • Graduated high school
  • Moved across the country
  • My best friend moved across the country at the same time and to the same place as us! :)
  • Stayed with Grandma for a month
  • An old friend got married
  • The first week we were went all over the place visiting old friends.
  • My dad started his new job! He loves it and he’s awesome at it!
  • We went white water rafting with the new church.
  • Found out that I’m not considered a resident of GA until I’ve been here one year. Therefore College is $3000 dollars more expensive. Therefore I will be taking a gap year.
  • I had a great opportunity to serve at our new church’s family camp. Family camp is like youth camp, kids camp, men’s retreat, and women’s retreat rolled into one! This past week I’ve seen this camp make a HUGE impact on families! I’ve seen families brought together, marriages strengthened, and families having a blast at the same time! I had the great opportunity to be a leader there. I helped serve with the 3-5 year olds and they were Awesome! I’m so excited about how God used Family fusion, and I can’t wait for next year!
  • Upon my return we moved in to a temporary house we can live in rent free for six months! That’s an awesome blessing!
  • Downside: an hour from the Church! Oh well… it’s FREE! :( However I REALLY wish we could spend more time with the folks from the church!!! I feel sort of disconnected. :(
  • I’ve started playing the church band recently which has probably been the most fun I’ve had playing in a band. Not to mention it’s awesome to see these people being lead in worship and learning more about what worship truly is!
  • I hope to start volunteering in the Ridge kidz or Ridge Kidz Jr area soon. But my band schedule is busy right now. Hopefully I can start in Sep.
  • I really love the people from the Ridge church. Hope to hang out with them more.
  • I also really miss my Vegas friends! Yes, You! Don’t think I’ve forgotten y’all. I have absolutely no clue when I’ll get to see some of y’all again but I know it’ll not be super-long
  • Ummm yep that’s all I can think of. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…
  • Hey wait a sec… enough about ME how have YOU been????

Mario, Transormers, and GA

One week to go. It's getting crazy busy round here. Got a few things on my mind:

1. Zach's New Blog post is awesome!

2. Went to see Transformers 2 the other night. I don't think I have ever been more ashamed of mankind. It was a packed theater. Everyone whooped and clapped and whistled when Megan Fox appeared with hardly any clothes on. Encouraged the main character to cheat on his girlfriend by applauding. Laughed at all the perverted Jokes and NONE of the sincerely funny, and clean ones. (Which were few, I might add.) And Somewhere down the Road it seems Megan Fox decided she wasn't pretty enough unless she dresses skimpy. I hate when women do that. How bout looking at her eyes for a change? Just a thought. Don't forget the awful racial stereotypes! What the junk has happened to America? Transformers 2 is the most morally jack-up movie I've seen in a while. I wish i would have read reviews before hand and avoided it.

3. We are moving cross country in... how many days? Well it's now up in the air. Could be as early as Monday or as late as Wednesday. The moving truck is coming tomorrow and we are having a moving party saturday. This is so weird. lol. But I can't wait!

9 Days...

Uh oh.... only 9 more days till i leave. "Something is about to give... I can feel it coming.... i think i know what it is.... I'm not afraid to die... I'm not afraid to live... and when I'm flat on my back I hope to feel like i did!"

...sorry random lyrics.... where was i?

Yeah, I can feel the hardest part coming. The part where I have to say goodbye to all the Awesome people here. I know I'm totally copying Zach's earlier blog post but i made a Collage of all the awesome people who've impacted me in some way. I'm sorry if i left one of y'all out. I'm not good with the pic editing program and it kept leaving some pics out.

Anyway... yeah this is gonna be tough but I know that we're all gonna have a BLAST in Heaven one day. I can't wait for that. It's gonna be more amazing then any of us can possibly imagine!!!

But until then I'll miss y'all.
