So yea...it's been a while!  I have joined the world of Facebook now and that has taken over my life!  Ok, not really, but I do do it more than Xanga...sorry all you Xanga peeps.  But if you have Facebook...you ought to add me.  We can be friends! 

Nothin much goin on with me, just in Joplin for the summer...again.  :(  But it is really ok.  I have two jobs (and am at one of them now!) and am just stayin busy doing nothing really!  I'm gonna go now, but I hope Jen Schalles is happy now!  Bye Xanga world!

Another semester.  One more after this.  Can you believe in less than a year I will be a college graduate?  Is that not nuts?  I don't feel that old, but always remember thinking there was a certain, I don't know...wisdom, oldness, change that must come from being out of college.  I guess I have a little time to gain that wisdom.  And the oldness...I have decided I'm ok with being young still.  You can never go back, so I shouldn't rush it, right?  A couple months ago I wasn't so sure of that, but things are different now!

So, I really don't feel like I have much going on or much changed.  My car is falling apart.  For any of you that have seen my car you are probably wondering why I've never said this before.  In her defense though, it's not the outside that counts right?  She's been good to me for many years!  Even when others doubted, I have kept the faith...I have pressed on.  Ok, so if that were scripture I was really quoting I totally ignored context, but thankfully it was a totally original thought that expresses the true nature of things.

Hmmm..."the true nature of things."  How many of you have ever pondered that thought?  Well, I think you all should and leave me some really deep, insightful thoughts or theories on the implications and scenarios that could go along with it!  Ok, well on that note I'm gonna end this.  I know, it's a lame post, but I've got nothin! 

Oh yea, one last thought.  I live off-campus now and am lonely and feel forgotten (with good reason although I'm not blaming anyone, I did the same thing when I was still on and others moved off.  This stuff just happens!).  But, if any of you want to hang out, or just call me, or smile at me...feel free!  Oh, but if I'm at the homestead (which is in a different location than it has been for the past 9 years *sniff*) I don't have reception there so I would be glad to give you my home phone number so you could be sure and get ahold of me!!! 

G'night, and be good!

Ok, so this may be my last Xanga entry.  I never do this thing anymore and then when I do, I post something that changes a few weeks later.  Then it's just a reminder of how things were.  And then you get all the questions from everyone about why, when, and how.  I beg you, please don't ask them.  Xanga should maybe just be for random meaningless chatter when you have time to kill, not for life events or going-ons. 

Sorry so depressing...God is good is he not?  And sovereign.  He is in control and I can take comfort in that.  I do love him...so glad he loves me!!

Wow...I'm just not good at this thing!  Well, if you really wanna know about my life, post a comment or call me...I'll get back to you!  More personal that way!  Life is good...really crazy, but great!  Isn't it funny how sometimes you want something sooo bad and for so long and then when you have finally gotten to the point where you are ok without it and have kinda just decided it won't ever happen and you've let go, THEN God gives it to you?  Totally out of the blue!  In a way and time you would have never been able to plan?  What a blessing!  How awesome he is...and funny.  He is so patient with us, and wow do I need it!  Now, I need even more patience, myself and from him!  God is good!  I pray he blesses you all as much as he has me!! 

Ok, it's been a really long time.  School is back in session.  I don't have my internet working yet thanks to at least one virus.  But right now I am at some friends house...they have fast internet.  And one of them commented on the fact I have Xanga, but have not updated.  So, here it is.  Life is good...always changing.  Situations change, opportunities vary, and my group of friends is growing with new faces while others have slipped away to other lands.  Not that we aren't friends, but I'll just be honest, I'm not the best at keeping in touch regularly. 

Honestly I have nothing to say right now, so when I feel more inspired/motivated, I'll type up something you can all enjoy.  In the meantime, enjoy your freedoms.  You probably have more than you realize!!!
