prom?

was prom really all it's cracked up to be? i'm not real sure.

yes, it was very fun. and yes, i loved not having to come home at a certain time. i slept from 3:30 to 7:30 [i had to get up for church because the worship team was playing in the service] then came home and slept from 1 to 5. but all in all, prom wasn't a huge, life-changing experience.

but anyway, here are a couple pictures:

this is my date, kunhee. it is also the only full-length picture i have... bummer.

julianna, bethany, and i

haha this is so... perfect.

this is my really great friend [and assistant yearbook editor] andrew.

i'm a big kid now.

you know how you always feel really old? even though, in reality, you aren't. yeah i feel like that a lot. here's why:

1. i got my cartilage pierced the other day. and it's not a big deal. but i just love it, and it makes me feel old because i've been asking my mom for a couple years now... yeah. so.

b. prom is this weekend. prom is just like the "typical" big kid thing. idk. it's what all the movies and books are about. it's the older kids, etc. yeah whatever. but anyways. i'm excited. [i'm not going home until 5 or 6 sunday morning, and i have to be at church at 8:30 to sing/play in service. i will let you know how all that goes. haha, and don't you worry i'll post pics!

those are the reasons right now.

but as i'm sure most of you have seen on twitter/facebook. i am working camp! i always pretty much knew i was. but i was just really overwhelmed with everything that was going on. and it was really hard to be patient. but, the decision was final as of last night. it's like as soon as i gave it up,* He answered me! and i don't think i've ever been more excited! it's just a huge sign that this is where i'm supposed to be and that God is going to do some AWESOME things!!

bahhhhh!

mkay, love you all.

*now, this doesn't mean i didn't think about it all the time, because i did. but it's just that i didn't worry about if i was going to be there or not. i just let it work itself out.

i don't really ever plan on driving with my windows up ever again.*

um i am going to baylor tomorrow for a visit. woot? idk. i have mixed emotions about it, i guess. i am getting up at the crack of dawn (actually before). yeah.

also, i just turned on the Awakening for the first time in over a week. they've revamped the player. it's pretty sweet looking. yeah.

okay that's all. i'm just bored.

*at least until it gets cold. and with the exception of rainy days.

springggg.

i do love to post pictures. especially ones of things i have accomplished. yessss! so here i go:

these first couple are from a fun day at the park with the gang. we all took our dogs and just sat around/played frisbee/played guitar. basically we just enjoyed each other's company.

we set up the hammocks 4 high. i climbed to the top like a pro. then took them all down when it was time. checkkkk.

rolling over to get out of one of the hammocks on the way down. goofy.

from ski trip. i just love this picture.

so much fun. this is at the top of the mountain at winter park.

just thought i'd share some fun bits of my life with you.

have Your way

if i have learned one thing from all this, it's patience. dang. i haven't gotten a straightforward answer yet, but i guess they have come around a little bit. haha i don't know. but anyway.

i woke up friday morning and the first thing i thought was "i'm going to be at camp this summer." i don't know where on earth it came from ;] but hey, i'll take it.

i also woke up thinking about starburst jellybeans* and singing "You never said the road would be easy but You said that You would never leave. You never promised that this life wasn't hard but You promised You'd take care of me. so i'll stop searching for the answers, i'll stop praying for an escape. and i'll trust You, God with where i am, and believe that You will have Your way." from Have Your Way by Britt Nicole. it was strange for me. i'm usually not overwhelmed by my thoughts when i first wake up.

but that song is my prayer.


now, as for the rest of my life. ohh man, things are great. i got my prom dress, i don't have to take calculus next year. i am going to be the yearbook editor. AND i am taking sign language. goodness, it's going to be oh so fun. yipppeee!!!!

*i'm not sure if i was just craving them, but the thought of this delicious fruity candy consumed my mind. they are SUPER delicious.
