cali here i come!!

well it took me all day...
but i have two packed bags waiting to go to cali right now

(fingers crossed they are under 50lbs!)

this time tomorrow a new chapter of life starts in santa monica, ca.

i'll keep you posted how the tom's version of real world is going as soon as i get a chance

check this out

I met this guy one night at the journey and started to talk to him just because he had TOMS on

We started to get into a longer conversation and he brought up what he was up to in his life and took out his business card with a site on it

I've been meaning to share this site with people for a while, because i think the concept of this idea is so interesting and a great debate to have with anyone

spend some time and look it up...

mark it down...

on dec 5th things changed!

i love that thanksgiving will always be turkey day

It's Fall weekend time for STL County Young Life!

At 9pm tomorrow night we will fill a bus full with high school kids and take them to Minneapolis for the weekend...well 36 hours of the weekend

We will spend Saturday all day at the Mall Of America ( i will be a first time visitor)
and will attend a Timberwolves basketball game at night (my first NBA game)

It's a nonstop weekend, so that means we will not be sleeping in a hotel. The only sleep anyone will be getting is what they can get on the bus ride there and back. You can think of us when you are warm in your beds on friday AND saturday night.

Pray for safety
Pray for kids
Pray for leaders
Pray for a great time in Minnesota

Bring on the Red Bulls and many Starbucks Coffee drinks

back in STL by noon on Sunday =)

Twilight

These books OWN me

done with books 1 & 2
moving on to 3 as soon as i can make it to my nearest bookstore

i would not say these books are amazing/well written/books of the year

but they are REALLY addicting

i'm a little embarrassed to admit this addiction since they are written for young adults in a 16pt Helvetica font

edward cullen could be this generations mr. darcy

just saying

heart hurts

already i am missing ashley ward and i only dropped her off at the airport 2hrs ago

i forget sometimes what great friends can bring out of you

it was so natural to have her here in st louis last night and to be with her these past few days, even after almost a year of not seeing/talking to her

i miss having her and other friends who i care for like this here in st louis.

I am blessed with great friends here, but a few of these girls that i am thinking of right now i wish i could spend daily life with so much it hurts sometimes

But i'm here
and they are where they are supposed to be

some day i hope we all find our place in the same city together again

really really hope =)
