I guess I've been waiting for something noteworthy to write about, which is why I haven't posted anything for a while. I decided today that if I keep that up, I may be waiting a long time. So, here goes...
On one hand, nothing has been going on in my life. Work is the same, church is the same, home is the same, etc. Praise God that He's given me so many blessings and thankfully, I've lived another day. On the other hand, so much has been going on(not all of which I care to go into on this blog). I guess that "so much" is just called life. I feel so overwhelmed with confusion and mass chaos inside. I feel like I don't know where to let my thoughts rest and I feel like I've let what's really important slide to the back of my priority list. The crazy thing is, I'm so confused that I don't know where to begin to get things back together again. Does that even make sense? Do you ever feel like you can't feel? When that happens, how do you find the knowledge to go about fixing things and making things right again when you can't see or feel what exactly would make things better to begin with? Any suggestions?
I hope I haven't concerned anyone by what I've written. I'm doing this on impulse and probably shouldn't even be sharing this via my blog. But, there's nothing else earthshattering to report, so I might as well be real. I'm totally fine and completely and utterly blessed beyond reason. I realize that, but life gets hard sometimes. We all have that in common. I hope this finds you all in less of a state of confusion as I. Hopefully soon this whirlwind of a life I've been living will settle down and I can think clearly once again.
Happy Hump Day!

My latest read
If you know me at all you know Nicholas Sparks is my absolute favorite author. I just finished reading his latest book, The Choice. I have to admit, it started a little slow. The first several pages I was thinking good ole Nicholas was letting me down. But, oh no. Did he ever come through! This book was so good! I can't even begin to give you a brief description of what it was about. He manages to capture my interest so well by writing of situations that are so fun for me to live through vicariously, as well as some that I wouldn't want anyone to experience. His imagination must be incredible, as he can certainly dream of some of the most fantastic storylines. So, if you're looking for a new book to start off the new year, I definitely recommend this one!

Halloween Cake!
Happy Halloween...Eve! I thought I'd share a picture of the cake I made for our Halloween lunch at school tomorrow. It's a double layer cake with melted Snickers bars in the middle! Who knows how it'll taste, but I thought it looked pretty cute!
P.S. "Kentuckyfest" is this weekend. I'm sure there will be lots of funny stories to tell when I get back. I'll share pictures too!

I'm baaaaaack!
Sorry for the unintentional blogging hiatus. Life just happens, and sometimes it's busier than others! For those of you who care about catching up, here's a glance back at what I've been doing since the last post.
1. Miami- This was so much fun! Bridgett, Lee, and I found a great deal on roundtrip tickets to Miami to visit Josh and Ginger. (They were $150 for those wondering.) I took off on a Friday and Monday so we had a good, long weekend. We only got to see Josh play four innings due to a rain delay and then his back injury, but we had tons of time to just hang out and have fun. It was a blast!
2. Cortney's poor car died a couple weeks ago. It just wouldn't go anymore, literally. We took it to the shop here for her, hoping it was something simple. No such luck. The mechanic said it was the transmission and it wasn't even worth fixing. It already had about 160,000 miles on it and even if she fixed this problem, the motor could blow up the next week. So, off we went on a car hunt. Mom and I pulled in to Jerry Damson Nissan just to look and see what they had. Little did we know, we ended up finding Cort a car that day. It's a 2006 Altima with only 24,000 miles. We got a pretty good deal. Cort came up this weekend to sign all the papers. She loved it. Here's a picture of her actual car.
3. We went to sing at the "Leadership Under Construction" retreat Sunday. Jeremy wanted us to come so we got up super early Sunday morning and drove an hour away to be with the teens for worship. It was fun. We leave two weeks from this weekend to go to Kentucky to sing at a youth rally in which Jeremy leads worship. I'm really thankful for this ministry and feel honored that God has given me the opportunity to use it for Him.
4. Our fall break, all one day of it, was this past Monday. I made the most of sleeping late! Although, I did have a reason. Sunday night was Midnight Madness at school. The teams could officially start handling the ball and scrimmaging Monday, so at midnight Sunday they invited people out and served free popcorn to watch the first scrimmage game of the season. The cheerleaders were there and dressed up in blue and white. Surprisingly, the gym was almost full. I guess it's never to late to watch some good basketball!
So there you have it- my life in a nutshell for the past month or so. I'm going to try and post more regularly again. Happy Tuesday!
