parachutes.

open up your heart and then you're free.

not a whole lot to write about tonight. today i met with my adviser at school and i picked out what classes i'm taking this summer, and also selected a deadline of when i would like to transfer to a university. right now my university decision has been narrowed down to: TCU, DBU, UNT. all three are wonderful schools, fairly close to home (close enough to drive home and visit, but not so close that mom will be there everyday... haha jk i love my mom and would love her to visit me all the time!). I still have a while to make a final decision.

after that i tried to fix my tail light but apparently its an electrical/wiring problem. hoping to get it fixed very soon.

had dinner with the boy, finally got my appetite back! i've had 6 nights of restless, horrible sleep. hopefully i can get some quality sleep soon.

i've made some very big decisions/changes in my life this week.
mostly realizing a lot of things that i wasn't sure of.

i know that no matter what trials i am going through, God is my Heavenly Father, yesterday, today & forever. He is always listening to me, and guiding me. He teaches me something new everyday, and wants me to succeed. Jesus Christ is my Savior, He died for me, through His blood I am cleansed of my sins. I know that there are so many different denominations of Christianity, and that I am currently overwhelmed with trying to find not only what is real, but what Heavenly Father tells me is right. Its a real journey, but I know that no matter what, my faith in God & Jesus will keep me strong. The Light of Christ shines in the darkest moments, He is the King of Kings, the Beginning & the End. He is the perfect example of all that I am to be. I'm so blessed to know this, and to have this so close to my heart.


in other news, the boy applied for a job promotion at another location. there are 3 reasons why i so badly want this for him:

1. he works so hard, does more than what is required of him, and he does it well.
2. he has been patient with the current job situation, and i want him to be blessed/rewarded for that.
3. so i can start posting pics of us on facebook, haha.

we've been praying about it for a couple of weeks. i even put him on the prayer request list for it at church. please pray for him and this new opportunity!


a dear friend of mine is moving. i get the details later this week, but i'm most def not looking forward to it!

my birthday is less than a month away, and i've so selfishly composed the list of things i want:
-someone to pay for an oil change & fill up my tank haha.
-a new purse, somethin' fancy
-new tires for my car....yea that won't happen anytime soon
-brookhaven bookstore giftcards
-a new CD player for my car

most of these things i NEED. like the gas, the oil change, giftcard & tires...hahaha.

in all honesty i don't want anything :) just to be able to celebrate my 21st birthday with a good bill of health exceeds all materialistic desires!


i'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family. my brother & i had lunch together. then i played scrabble with my other bro, he won :( both times! Cheaterrr! my sisters are my best friends, my mom is my source of strength & comfort, and i also have a wonderful boyfriend! he makes me so happy :)

i ordered an car USB charger today on amazon.com for $6 w/free shipping. i'm way stoked because my phone is always dead...i usually forget to charge it. but now i don't have to worry about breaking down on the highway and having a dead battery because i spent 3 hours playing Words with Friends. haha!





Jeremiah 29:11
(NIV)

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


I really love this verse. Whenever I'm unsure about how things are going I take a moment to think about this. Even though I have no idea what is in store for me, I know that by trusting in the Lord, and the plan He has laid before me, I will be safe.


- i rarely use NIV, i prefer KJV. but for this verse i like this translation a bit better. -
