| so....life has been crazy for sure!! i'm sitting in my bed right now...my real bed, not my dorm bed....YAYYY! i'm officially home for the summer. Last week was pretty crazy....finals week. Tryin to say goodbye to everyone. All you people that are graduating im miss like crazy...and those of yall that are just plain leaving better come and visit!!...for real!....Thursday was my last final (nutrition)...it was the easiest final ive ever taken....then i drove straight to the airport and picked up my dad. We then went to the dorms to start packing....packed all night tuesday (till they kicked men out)... and made a few runs to the storage place,.then went out to eat at zios and then to walmart to get some more boxes. I was soooo exhausted after thursday....i had to then pack everything that was goin to be goin home with me that night....so stayed up till like 4 packin all that stuff....woke up at 6:30 to get ready for the day and finish packing things i needed since the night before (sheets, shower stuff, towels, etc.).....then went and picked my dad up from his hotel....loaded my car...and when i say loaded i mean there was NOT a drop of extra space....my dad said if we ended up having a flat on the way home he would just buy a whole new wheel...haha...it would been a disaster. Then i checked out of my room...i turned in my key and just paid my R.A. to clean my room.....cleaning for checkout is INSANE...they put scotch tape on the floor where the wall meets the carpet and rip it up to check for dust.....they get a white glove and check between the blinds for dust......so yah..i just decided to pay her and not deal with it....Anyway....we got on the road about 10:45 friday morning.
We started our 10 hour drive...i slept for the first 5, then i drove for about 2 hours and then my dad drove the rest...we got home around 8:30...the second i got home and was greeting my mom, my dad lifted up my shirt to show my mom my belly button ring....wow....she freaked....but shes okay now....heh. So last night, we unloaded EVERYTHING and carried it all up to my room....then everyone went to bed. Well....i canNOT deal with messiness. And i hate knowing that i have a lot of work ahead of me....it just weighs me down...so i was like screw this...i'm doin everything tonight. i cleaned out both my closets....and when i say cleaned out i mean had FOUR black garbage bags full of clothes and shoes to give away. Then i unpacked ALLL my stuff from school.....i was pretty much awake 24 hours...and finally went to bed at like 5.....but it feels so good knowing everythings already done. Today, my mom, my dad, & me went out to the farm where Phantom and Eddy (two of our miniatures) were sold. The people's place is sooo cool. They have a 350 lb. pot-bellied pig named Harley....he's such a grump and grunts at EVERYTHING....they have a mini donkey named "boo boo".....he brays alll the time and it makes me laugh sooo much (for those of you that dont know..."braying" is that horrible sound donkeys make)......they have a little white goat named "buttermilk"....she has a bell round her neck and she follows you everywhere...she's really cool. Anyway....they have a whole bunch of horses, but i didn't get to ride cause its wayyyy muddy out here.....but i did get to see my boys!!! :) Anyway, i'll go back out again on wednesday or so to ride...yay.
Then, my mom and i went to check out a gym super close to our house to find a place for me to tumble this summer. I was very encouraged...it seems like a really nice place. So ima go check it out this week and go tumble one night. I'll be doin it for 4 days a week, so hopefully i'll be quite a bit better by the end of the summer??? Once i got home from that, i took a nap until like 7:00 pm (im pretty much nocturnal these days).
Tomorrow (or today i guess) is my birthday, so ima be here for half the day with my family to go to church and out to lunch, then i'm gonna go up to A&M to be with my bestest friend allie! its gonna be soo fun...i'm way excited. We're gonna go out to dinner, go bowling, and watch the spurs game.....then i'll come back on tuesday or so....so i'll talk to all y'all later!!
I'VE MISSED TEXAS SOOOO MUCH.....HOORAY FOR COWBOYS IN BIG TRUCKS AND WARM WEATHER!!
*for all you graduates- congratulations!*
++GO SPURS GO!!!++
-i think ima go way blonde when i get my hair cut this week......lemme know what y'all think??-

| whoa....its been FOREVER since i've updated. summer is almost here and i'm more excited than you'll ever know!!! i'll tell you my summer plans in a minute. Not toooo much has happened since the last time i wrote. I officially got onto susie 6 next year, so that's where i'll be living..so i'm wayyy excited bout that! yesterday it rained crazy hard here and the tornado sirens went off.....then me, molly, terry, tara, and some ucov boys went and rode down the drainage thing to fred creek...fully clothed...it was so fun! Today i had no class, woke up at 1:30 and am still in my pajamas....pathetic i know, but sometimes life just calls for days like this!...so in 9 days, my dad's flying up here to help me move out, then friday morning i'll leave for sa-town. i turn 19 in 11 days...and i was thinking about it today...i don't wanna get older..i wanna be young forever....well kinda. i just got off the phone with my dad...my parents officially sold all our horses and the last 2 left today (phantom and eddy), but unlike all the others live relatively close....and the lady that bought them is a really neat Christian running a Christian retreat place....and she has big horses and told my dad i could go ride anytime..i'm soooo excited to hear that. But, its a HUGE part of my life coming to a close. I saved alll my money to buy phantom. He was my first horse and when i got him, spent everyday with him, and bathed him everyday and took him on walks and I would talk to him. The best summers of my life were spent at Judy's training horses even though it was hella hot, it was what i absolutely LOVED. I'll never forget it- the smell of sawdust and manure and horses....mmmm. The best weekends were spent traveling to horse shoes, being dead tired after showing all day and working. Oh, how i'll miss it and i'll never forget those day- they truly were the best days of my life. SOMEDAY i will own a big horse and i'll get to ride whenever i want- mark my words, someday. On a different note, i've been thinking about ukraine everyday....i cannot wait to go back. its unbelievable. My dad is going and he just keeps saying..."im gonna get messed up just like you and mrs. defrees"....its true..it really messed me up...its never off my mind. Allie and hafta get a job when we get back to sa-town...hopefully we can work together....although i'm not sure what place is gonna hire me since i'll be gone for almost 3 weeks with ukraine.....if you have any ideas, lemme know! so...the summer plans are as follows:
Ukraine- June 14-30
Family Reunion in Florida- First week in august
Come back to school early for cheer
*the lake
*riding
*tumbling
*acro meets with my old acro girls- i misssss yall!
*road trip with allie
*kiteboarding
and lotttts more....
until next time- peace out
and here's a pic for yal....in blessing's honor...i'll miss my baby! or Blessy-boo as i called her!
and my ukrainian kiddos....i love them so much...Vladek, Me, Pasha, & Nastya

all! sooo....tryouts for cheerleading for ORU 2006-2007 were yesterday.
i tried out, but really wasn't sure what was gonna happen considering
that i couldn't do very much with a cast on my foot. ( have a stress
fracture in my shin from tumbling this whole year). I based and did
standing tumbling landing on one foot, danced, & cheered, but that
was all i could do. They posted the squad last night and I MADE IT!!
so...i'll see you all next year again from the b-ball court!
yay....congrats to everyon else who made it. we are gonna have an
amazing squad this year. its gonna be a lot of fun...i'm lookin forward
to it. love you all!!
here's a pic from thursday....the tulsa
sports commission had a big thing downtown for our b-ball boys since
they are MID-CON CHAMPIONS!....and we went too....and this is why
everyone now calls me "boots"
leave some comments!!....

*i am finding my identity in Christ more than ever right now...and its amazing....*
this next weekend is cheer tryouts...we'll see how that goes....not alll sure what ima be able to do since i'm in a cast...but i guess i'll just talk to the coach and see what he wants me to do. also, saturday morning is my gymnastics boys' regionals in oklahoma...so ima try to make it to watch them....cant wait to see 'em. also that weekend is college weekend....i don't have a college weekender coming, but the campus is always kinda crazy during college weekend anyway.

Last night, kinda randomly i started a detox diet with a few other girls....the first part of it will last a week.....nothin but chicken soup with all this random stuff in it...for a week...blah...this should be an adventure....oh well...after this i'll look and feel better. so it'll all be worth it.

| so we had an absolutely fantastic split (boys and girls seperated) chapel today. Kari Jobe spoke. it was amazing.
Its hard to clear our minds through all the trouble and remember that He wants whats best for us. Especially when it comes to finding who we are supposed to spend the rest of our lives with. Our vision is so distorted by what we want and by what we think is the best. Kari challenged us to imagine our lives 5 years from now. I would say for the majority of us, we see ourselves married and enjoying our career. However, God may have different plans for us. For me, i can get really frustrated about certain situations when things don't go the way i think they will. I start to question things and get confused. It is so comforting to know that though i may have no idea whats going on, He does. He'll take care of me. It makes the wait allllll worth it. She talked about how the happiest marriage you'll ever have is one where you and your husband are joined in a covenant together completely in love with Jesus.
She sang 2 songs i love. (go to karijobe.com to listen to "sweep me away") One is called sweep me away. God is my one true love, my first love. The song says "sweep me away in your love, where nothing else matters." I want to be in love with ^Him. His love never fails, He never changes His mind about us. Nothing else should matter to us but being with Him. The second song that i really like that she sang is called "worth it all", it basically says it's gonna be worth it all in the end. All the hardships and rough times we go through will be worth it in the end because he has a plan so much greater for us than we could ever imagine. He'll take care of us and we only have to do ONE thing and that is stay in His will. He knows what He's doing- i keep reminding myself of that. I dont, but HE does!
i wanna fall in love with Him....
also...i put some new pics on myspace...but since i think its pretty safe to say alot of xanga-ers don't have myspace...ima put 'em on here as well...
*also i must say....i super enjoy those days where you get tons of "you look so cute" or "you look pretty today!" comments....they bring a smile to my face....today was one of those days...thanks for the compliments guys!!
leave some comments! :) love you all
