A little bit of wine-ing

Hello world! It's been a while. Lot's of things have happened since last week, most of them good...some of them not as much.

When I left you I was going to babysit the Schumanns- Luke, age 7, Danielle, age 4, and Levi who is 6 months. They were all angels! Levi was very hungry and only got fussy for a little while (because he was so hungry.) I love that family so much. Friday I went to La Grange to spend one last night in my friend, Kaytlyn's house. Her house was always our gathering place in intermediate and middle school and now her dad is selling it, so we had to have one last sleepover. It's always interesting to go back and hang out with high school friends when I've made so many friends at A&M who are so different. I do love my high school friends, but we're all at very different places in our lives. The night was a blast, all the same. I worked all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and Sunday night Amelia and I saw "Eat, Pray, Love". Let me tell you, that movie was phenomenal. I read the book and it changed my life, and the movie was definitely a great representation of the book. It really reaffirmed a lot of things for me - especially how much life there is to live before I settle down. Also, how much food there is to eat and how much WINE there is to drink! :)

On Monday I turned into Mrs. Clean. I cleaned this apartment like it's never been cleaned before! I mopped, vacuumed, dusted, washed sheets, rugs, wiped down the kitchen and bathroom, cleaned out the couch and febreezed the cushions and pillows....yeah, I did a lot. Totally worth it!

All I have left to say is this: I don't think I've ever met more beautiful, Godly women than I've met here in the past few years. I also don't think I've seen as many amazing women as I have here get hurt by men. I know there are reasons with everyone and I shouldn't be so quick to judge - I just want all of these beautiful women to know that there's nothing wrong with them.

Song lyrics - for all of my beautiful sisters, In Better Hands by Natalie Grant

I am strong all because of You
I stand in awe of every mountain that You move
For I am changed, yesterday is gone
I am safe from this moment on
There's no fear when the night comes round
I'm in better hands now

until next time :)

Every day is filled with hope

I love learning more about people. Last night was so much fun - a legit girls night. Drinking wine, sharing "shady" pasts...definitely needed. As much as I love having so many guy friends, there really isn't anything like hanging out with a bunch of girls and being able to say anything and knowing that you're not getting judged.

I'm about to go babysit the Schumann kids (on my day off.) At least this will pay off my escapade in San Antonio last weekend!

Song lyrics for today? Happy ones!

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open all I know is
Everyday is filled with hope
You are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

Food for thought :)

What is lonely except a name that's clothed in emptiness and garbed in shame
What is sorrow except a game we play
What are lies except the truth, that we are broken from our childhood, that we are restless from our youth
Who is it that will be on a mission to bring hope to this empty soul?
Is it God? Is it you? Is it me? Is it a little bit of all three? I don't know, but I can tell you what I've heard
I've heard it takes something bigger, and that's free, and it's scarcely seen when you accept something like that
But when you do this lonely will suddenly mean nothing and nothing means everything
And what is God except everything and in everything just the same
And what is lonely except a word I made up for myself? What is lonely except a word?
What is lonely..except a name.
-Jonah Werner

I caved...

Well, I caved. I got a blog. The funny thing is, I had one of these back in Middle School/High School but it was a Xanga and then a Livejournal. That was even before they were referred to as "blogs". Now my brothers can REALLY make fun of me.

I think the purpose of getting a blog was to further put off writing skits for Welcome Weekend. I am failing miserably at doing that. I will write some tonight. I WILL!

In other news, I have been completely terrified to go in and out of my apartment. Our complex is so deserted and it is creepy to go in and out by myself! I can't wait until my roomies come back!!! I did go to Aggie football practice today...maybe I'll find me a nice burly football player to take care of me so I don't have to be scared anymore ;)

So, what I used to do on my blogs back in the day, was write song lyrics that described my mood. Call me emo, but I liked it. I don't really like putting them on facebook so I think this will be a good outlet. These lyrics just kind of popped into my head and they're pretty relevant.

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

 That's about it. Time to be productive!
