It seems like I'm always a day behind in my entries. But maybe that's a good thing. I went to the doctor yesterday (thanks to the advice of many wonderful friends)! I'll back up just a tad though. I woke up to the sound of some drunk (or very awake for Sat. morning) frat bros. I packed quick to go home for the weekend and to celebrate my grandma's 80th bday with the rest of my extended family. I left the room, locked it behind me, and just as I was leaving, those wonderful bros of mine got the idea to sneak into my room to put shaving cream all over my roommate. Thank God I locked the door behind me. After they discovered this they yelled down the hall for me to come back and unlock it. Jollie...I hope they didn't think about the windows!


I came home, took a shower, said "hello" to my family, then went 2 blocks to the clinic to get looked at. I walked into urgent care, waited for about 30 min, then had my BLOOOOOOD dRRRRRRRRRRRAWWWWWWNN for the 1st time (yep, first time), and checked for strep just in case. Both came back NEGATIVE...BUT...yes there's a but...my white blood cell count was way down and the doc said that if I wouldn't have slept the amount I have been I woulda prolly had mono by now...and I can't push myself any harder. well ok - I won't push myself any harder...so I'll just keep doing the things i've been doing before ;) lol!


Praise God i'm ok! Who cares about white blood cells! I don't have mono! ok ok i'm just playin...i'll be careful! lol


Grandma's party was sweet! My extended family is the best! Everyone loves God so much....I can't even describe the love and awesomeness there is! We watched a 45 min. DVD of each of us sharing memories of my grandma...with old pictures of us, videos, etc....it was really sweet. I think most of us got teary eyed. I was really touched when almost everyone told Grandma that the biggest impact and greatest memory was the love of Jesus on her kids and grandkids. Her encouragement, love, compassion, Bible memory, everything together made this wonderful Grandma of mine so amazing! The party was a lot of fun. We had a family friend professional photographer over, took pictures, etc, we partied, sang songs, ate food, laughed, cried, ate more...what better party could there be (except the one to come in Heaven)?!


So that was my Saturday! Praise God for my being not as sick as I expected! :) Oh and Rebecca, by me saying I 'slept', I still heard the music..and falling up was pretty good. though...I don't think it was as good as I've heard before. I think it was the stage though and the mix balance. Oh well! I watched that DVD all the way through when I got home :D

    I'am glad you are ok!  I have been worried about you....Yeah I have had my blood drawn a couple times.  The one time they took so much out of me I almost passed out, and then i got a charlie horse and could not stop laughing.

I know it’s been since around Thanksgiving since I last posted on here. I wish I had a better excuse for not formulating a better journal since then, except to say that I’ve been spending more time just enjoying life rather than writing it all back down again! But I do need to get back into the groove so as to entertain myself in the future…reminiscing of wonderful events that took place in my life.  I guess a few of my friends only know of the life I post on Xanga so that’s another reason I need to stay current. G-d has just been so wonderful in my life recently and has blessed me with such a wonderful family and amazing friends! I can only describe the joy I have as…indescribable! It’s a feeling that is so unable to be expressed at times. It’s not even a feeling! Joy is so much more than that! Well – on to my highlights of the past…lots of stuff! If I “forget” anything – “remind me” and I’ll post it ;) Prepare to be amazed (or really disgusted!) at this incredibly long post! (Ps. Tod

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! You know – I feel like most of us in this country really take this holiday for granted, regardless of how much promotion it’s given and regardless of how much knowledge we have of our historical past. What we need to remember is that we came to this country to escape persecution and to worship G-d (aka Jesus Christ) in a way that contradicted the teachings of the king of England. Because of this we left and came to the New World, where we fought the Indians (making both wise and foolish decisions) and eventually came to be the great country that we are now. We are truly blessed…thinking of all the other countries that don’t have the same privileges that we do. Praise G-d for His everlasting love and His hand of protection upon this country still. I fear one day that the hand of His will no longer protect this country us if we continue to turn away from Him and go about our own way…               School has been quite busy. I’ve had so many papers to do, pro

Hey everyone! Yeah I know it's been a while!! I still gotta update - but it's ok. I have most of what i've done on my calander, so it shouldn't be too hard to update. I just missed my 1st class today (well I woulda been 10 min. late so I figured...screw it) so I just thought I would write a little about what's going on right now in my life. So grades are well....so far. As in all my classes and B in Hebrew right now. Not to shabby. This weekend is the retreat for CSF (Christian Student Fellowship) up at Camp Salie. I can't go Fri. night because of a frat thing, but I'm taking a few people up Sat. It should be fun. Um - Bush is still the best! If Kerry wins I'm moving to Canada :) Who's with me?! One of my hardcore Christian friends is very against Bush (because of the war) and doesn't really like Kerry either (because of most of his beliefs) but is either going to vote Nader (throw the vote away) or Kerry (not a good idea). So lets forget the war
