wow! almost October

Wow! i can't believe that it's already the last week in September! it seems like we just started this month. a lot has gone one though. A week ago Matt and I went to Phil and Katie's wedding. It was sooo sweet, it was a small ceremony with a cool back yard BQ, after wards they seemed really happy! My little brother just got back from Kentucky last night. He went down there with our Pastor, his family, and the other guys in the Willing Servants quartet. He said they had a blast and had too much fun singing. We got to hear them sing this morning also, it was great, I'm really amazed how much they have progressed, epically my brother. I know I'm not supposed to be choosy but he is my brother after all, (and currently my favorite bass singer). I'm soo glad that God has blessed him with that ability, and not just him but all those boys. I know he'll never here me say it to him in person but I'm really proud of him. Last Thursday we started up our College and Carrier class. it was really good, our "probe" or lesson of the day was on what was acceptable to God, and was based on the verse in 1 Peter 2 :18-25 that speaks about masters and servants and how we are to react to those who treat us poorly. also with the class we each received a note book that has small daily devotions that act kinda like journal entries, they give you a question and a bible reference and you do the rest, it really make you think and get you into God's word every day! well I've gone and chatted to much. I hope all of you are doing well out there. oh... before I go, my mom should be posting the quartets latest song on her blog soon, so check that out as well!

1 week in

Well it's official, I've been back in school for a whole week now, and let me tell ya it already feels like I've been there for months. I'm sure Matt and Tom feel the same way. That just seems to be the way College works on ya. I don't quite know how I would be able to get through my course load this term with out God giving me patients and the energy to keep working even into the morning hours. I know the others college kids must be feeling the same way. Over all it's been good so far. I've already had 2 quizzes and several homework assignments all of which i did well on :) So at least all the work is doing something. In other news I can speak again (yay!), even though i know there are certain members of the family who are bummed because now they again have to put up with my babel *tee hee*.
tonight at church pastor gave a good message on youth work and introduced a new class for the teens called "pro-teens" it looks really really good and I'm excited for them, I know they'll do well.
well it's getting late and I've still got to finish some math home work so I'll talk at y'all latter.

post surgery

Hey all, I had my surgery yesterday and all went well... I don't look so chipmunk like on the out side but my tongue is really swollen preventing me from talking to much, i hope that it will go down. i do have 7 stitches, one one each tooth and three in my tongue. I don't know how many people knew, but I was (yay) tongue tied, a condition to where the flap of skin under your tongue was attached to the front of my mouth, that's why i couldn't stick my tongue out. hopefully after everything heals i will be able to, not to mention it will make a lot of things easier such as eating and drinking. I hope the youth fellowship is going really well i wish i could go but things happen. have fun out there everyone.

School Up and running...

So, School is up and running...off with my brain...Hey come back!! It's only the third day of class and my brain is already Jell-O (and yes Matt I do have that song stuck in my head). I haven't even attended all of my classes for this term, I still haven't gone to my Chem safety class. Which I pray is easy. Uggg I already have more homework then I have time and more studying then I have brain cells to store it in. Either way things have been going well in class, I feel OK with the material so far, even after i completely blanked out in my Japanese 2010 class and my professor once again said that my "stutter" had returned (it's a nice way of saying that i can't always spit the right Japanese words out to make a full sentence), but he's my favorite teacher...although he did just assign a 300-400 character essay to be done on the 24th... well I guess that's Junior level classes for ya. My Anatomy and Physiology class is going well, thankfully the material is pretty straight forward. Yet I'm positive that Math is going to kill me. I already have 2 sets of book problems, on-line problems and two mathematical journal write ups do aggggggg!!!.... well i guess I should stop complaining now... other then school life has been good. I'm all set to go for tomorrow, my surgery is at 11:30. well i have to go bury myself in Japanese now. see ya!

Labor Day!

Ahhh... So it's officaly the last day of summer vacation...at least God has given us a beautiful day to spend :) We're having a cook out today and i'm all excited, there's not much better then corn and potatos cooked over embers on a fire or the sweet smell of BQ pork made in a slow rosting cooking. Yum makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I hope you all have a great day off and for your intertainment here's something some of you might enjoy!
