Baby it's cold outside

I know, I know... I need to update more. Life just gets so busy and I just don't know what to do with myself. But if I don't do it tonight, it's gonna pile up way too much. So here I am!

Life has been great lately. At least the overall picture has been (minor issues come and go) and I've really been happy. I've found myself seeking God stronger than I have in a while. Which is always nice. It happened through a riveting worship service last weekend at Open Door. I won't get to much into it, but let's just say I haven't been hungry in a while. And now I'm STARVING!!! Haha... that doesnt' make sense in normal terms, but in Christian terms, it's very good to be hungry for God. Anyway, I'm just happy that I'm in this spot cuz I feel like I fight for it all the time with nothing coming out of it. But here I sit, completely and utterly happy. YAY Church!!

School has been good, I mean it's pretty much the same. I love it and my classes are all writing classes, and yah. Nothing too exciting. I never heard back from my internship possibility, so I might try to e-mail them again. We'll see. And I still need to register for some classes, but I don't think the ones I want are available, so I'm just kinda sittin back and watching to see if they ever open up. hmmm....

So last weekend Zach, Kara, and a girl named Brittany went to the Lion King at the Orpheum!!! Let's just say that if you have never seen it, you really really really really should. we only paid $55 for the tickets, and it was well worth it. I would throw in what I love about it, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who would possibly go. But if you ever wanna talk about it, I am more than willing! We also went to this resturant called the Palimino which was very high class and elegant, and we all had a great time. We don't get to do that that often, so it was a nice little treat. =)

What else is new?? Thanksgiving was Thanksgiving. I care more about the break then the actual day. It's never been a huge day for me. I did, however, wake up at 2PM on that day, which means I apparently was tired. Who knew?! I mean c'mon, it's me. haha. What else did I do? Saw Jen and watched Grey's Anatomy, Wed. I had been at Adam's and played a game meant for 4-8 year olds... Friday was an attempted movie party, which turned into a lot of chatting with people I haven't seen in a long time and about half of a movie. lol. Saturday was Bethel's football game! A-MAZING! I didn't get there until half time but I watched it with Justin, Joe, Debbie, Kara, and her two sibilings. We played Eau Claire for the second round in the division. We did pretty well! It was 21-12! Unfortunately (but somehow very fortunate) St. John's didn't win (hahahaha) so we will be playing in Iowa, meaning I don't get to see the game. Sigh. After that the Knapps roped me up into going to their rental house, and not leaving for 2 1/2 hours. Haha. I knew that would happen. It's the Knapps! So it wasn't bad cuz I expected it. But then I played cards with Anna, John, Lee, Adam, and Justin! It was fun cuz I haven't seen Anna, John, and Lee in a while. That's what Thanksgiving break is all about! =)

So today, I locked my keys in my car. I'm a moron. And it's all because I didn't have my purse around me like I usually do! People think it's funny cuz I always seem to have it on wherever I am. So I decided not to have it on and then locked everything in my car. It was dumb. and kind of weird. I haven't gone around without my car, my phone, and money in a long time! I felt like a fifteen year old. Now I now how Justin feels. lol.

I think that's all I've got. Nothing too terribly interesting is going on. Oh, I'm going down to see Ali for her birthday, so if anyone wants to join me, gimme a call!!

Dreams are passages into the soul

It was summer time, and Zach and I thought we should go to the lake again. It was one of those really nice days that we had this summer and this time, we actually took advantage of being out on the lake. We brought some other friends and started to walk a strange shoreline. It was on Lake Sarah, but a much larger beach. A couple of people dived in, and I continued to trace where water met land. At the same time, (or maybe a little bit before we decided to go swimming) I was playing a game inside a house with Adam Neis, and he kept throwing stuff for me to catch, but I let it whiz pass me and it'd break all these breakable glass things behind me. So we decided to hide everything that was valuable so we wouldn't do it again. I think that's when Zach and I wanted to go out on the water. So back to the water, just as I'm about to start running into the water, Justin comes out of nowhere. He wasn't at the house earlier, and we hadn't called him to come to the beach, still there he was. He started asking why none of us called him, and we just shrugged our shoulders, saying we figured he had too much homework to do anything.

And that was that. That dream said a lot to me, a lot of stuff that I needed to remember.

Can you repeat it word for word?

Here I sit... sit sit sit

Here I type... type type type

Here I think... ::woah::

I feel like I'm thinking nothing yet thinking of everything in the entire world of me. I feSel like I should be contemplating everything I've been told, praying to God for advice, seek someone to tell them the things they've done to me, and probably didn't even notice. So much was given to me last night, that I feel... just in shock. And it wasn't bad news. I don't think so anyway. I thank the people that were involved. But still.. I feel that I'm being disrespectful if I don't get it enough "awe" time. we'll see what happens

Last night was a miracle. A once in a lifetime oppurtunity that Kara and I took very willingly. We beat Nate and Justin in 500. We dominated the first round (540 to -200) And then they won the second one, who knew what the score was. (lol) But you can't just leave it at a tie, at least not with anyone in our group. We are all competitive at heart (is this a bad thing?? Is this pride right now?) So yah.. .we took the chance to lose our tie, but we came out the victor. It was magical. =) YAY to Kara and trusting her gut instinct.

I think it's funny to watch people. People in their everyday routine who have no idea that anyone else would possibly notice what they do, but I do. Sounds creeper right? It's not. I just observe. I remember someone if we met randomly, and just happen to say a few words together. I remember the shirt someone was wearing from like 3 years ago. I obvserve. So to me it's funny to watch people, like what people do when they are excited, or ticked off by something. Or when people are so enveloped by something that they zone you out completely. You guys should try it sometime. Just take a second from your realm, and watch. I think a lot of people could learn more than they bargained for. I bet Adam would agree. But we come from two different levels. I come from the inside, loving to be apart of the action. Adam likes to be the one on the outside (and not literal outside, he likes to be in the group too) but remember he is the one taking the pictures, quietly observing people before he speaks. He does it from the other side. Now why am I bringing this up so randomly? well... there really is no specific reason, but I just realizing how much I can pick up. Like on Sunday I went to Sanctuary church in minneapolis with Jesse and some of his friends, and I had seen and met a couple of them, but they had no idea who I was. Because I had met them once, I would see them in the hallway randomly, but they wouldn't notice me. It's just weird how people are soo uniquely different. Anyone agree??

Ok, pondering time over.... time for work and such. love love love

;p

P.s- oh yah, and I went to see Seward at Stout... and lets just say... .we have adventures and I love our adventures. And I think Andrew Beckman is probably one of the coolest guys I know. I really enjoy his company and wished BOTH of them lived here again. YAY!
