so busy...

Wow, i never imagined it would be so hard to keep this thing updated all the time. Theres always something going on, and its hard just to sit and write. But i am comitted to keeping this going, so im not going to stop anytime soon.
It seems like i am always just writing about my weekend on here, but thats where all the fun is, right? This weekend we went to DFW yet again, this time to watch the Dallas Christian/Fort Worth Christian game in Dallas. That night we stayed at Clarck Packer's house, it was a lot of fun. I feel like the little group we hang out with bonds really well. Saturday morning I went to a 3 on 3 tournament at Norht Texas with Lance. We were 1-2, so it was fun but it definetly could have been better. Saturday night we hung otu at the Atchley's and then crashed at Jeff Edwards' house.
On a side note, i think byt he end of the year i will have eaten over 100 party burritos from Taco Bueno. Well it's laundry time, so I will try to write again tomorrow.

Not much has changed since i last posted on here, except we had homecoming here at acu. It was a very tiring weekend, ill just say that. And, i only hope you were lucky enough to see our parade float, which was a truck bed filled with hose water and bubbles and six guys in it. Needless to say, it was a little chilly. But it was in incredible amount of fun. I am excited about going home this weekend, to go see the Little Mavs and to hang out with people bakc home. I also plan on doing early voting, straight ticket Republican of course. I'm actually going to try and post a few more times this week, cause I feel like doing so. Much love, everyone. Hope everyone is watching the World Series, its history in the making.

what a place

Been awhile since i've posted on here, its tough becuase I've been so busy lately. Well this weekend I went to the Dallas Christian retreat, it was on Friday. Basically we just hung out with these seventh-graders and taught them a few lessons that weren't very difficult at all. It was a lot fo fun. Afterwards, all of us went out to eat. So then we had the rest of the weekend to ourselves. We decided to stay at Heath's house n Southlake, and it was an incredibly fun weekend. Me, Jesse, Blake, Gilly, Ryan, Brooke and Julianne all stayed at heath's house. Lets just say there wasn;t a whole lot of sleeping going on. Friday night we went to Hangman's, the haunted house in downtown Fort Worth. Even though its really not that scary, it's stilla ton of fun. Saturday we went to the fair, which has become an annual tradition for me i guess.
I just want to say that I am so incredibly glad I am going to ACU. I cannot belive how many good friendships I have already developed here, everyone bonds so incredibly well. I love just hanging out with all of the people here, we are all so different yet we get along so well. This week we are all helping to build the freshmen float for the homecoming parade, so that will be a lot of fun. I encourage anyone who is thinking of transferring to consider ACU. I know it sounds hokey, but it will change your life in so many awesome ways.
Well I am gonna go get ready for class, and later tonight we have a flag football game. Ill try to post again in a few days. Peace and God bless

stuff

Finally got a chance to write in here, I had to pull myself away from Tiger Woods 2005, which is like video game crack. Im really excited, because this weekend I am going back to the Metroplex to help at the Dallas Christian retreat, I will be working with a bunch of seventh graders on Friday. On Saturday, a bunch of people are going to the State Fair. I love the fair, I try to go every year.
On another topic, I realized the other night how lucky I am in some ways to be living in a dorm like this. Two nights ago we all watched as somebody had their head completely shaved for $15 dollars. And its so cool here because living in this dorm I have added like 15 new friends in the span of a few weeks. Friends who I really like, and who I think will be friends for the next few years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think living arrangements at public universities offer the same kind of fellowship. Iv'e come to appreciate curfew because everyone is here at night, getting to know each other. Well I am gonna go to my business lab, have a good week everyone. At some point I want to post my take on the upcoming election and stuff.

Homeward bound

I'm going home for the weekend, it's been a crazy week so I'm sure I will have lots to write about coming up. Everyone be safe this weeknd and have fun.

Been awhile

Ok so its been awhile since i've updated this, so I have lots to say.
First, a quick sports point: I hate the Yankees, clear and simple. They are the Evil Empire. Either you hate the Yankees, or you have no soul. But I absolutely love Derek Jeter. He is probably my favorite non-Ranger in the entire league. Nobody gives their all, and comes up in the clutch plays like him. He is a gamer. If I had to start a team from scratch, he's the one guy I would pick first.

Ok well, on to other stuff. I am going home this weekend, back to the Hills. I am looking forward to seeing my family again, cause I really miss them. I think on Friday I am going to try and go to the Birdville football game, and also go see Friday Night Lights. Saturday I am going to watch Texas/OU and hopefully go to the Mavericks Blue/White scrimmage at TCU. Should be a great, sports filled weekend.
So lately I have been giving a lot of thought to my future career. What will I be? It's kinda scary because you don't want to end up doing something you ahte, and that sucks because you have to make a comittment with your major and stuff. Often I think about doing something like teaching and coaching, something that would give me lots of free time and I would have fun doing it. But something tells me God wants me to do something truly great and ambitious. Thats why I want to go to Law School. I really want the challenge, and it suits my personality. I don't really know why I am writing about all of this, if only becasue maybe it will let yall into a little bit of my life. Well I hope everyone has a great week, and stays safe. I'll write again in a few days.

This weekend

So this weekend like 30 of us went to Heath's lake house on Eagle Mountain Lake. It was one for the most fun weekends I have ever had. It was so great to meet and hang out with so many awesome people. I feel so blessed to go to the school I do, and to be with the people there. It was cool because all 30 or so of us got along so incredibly well. And it's always fun introducing people to the greatness that is Fort Worth. I really miss F-Dub when I am in Abilene, because it has the entertainment options of a big city, yet also a small-town feel to it.

On a completely different note, I learned today that a former Birdville student and a person many of my friends loved died in a car accident. From what I knew of him, James Harris was a really good guy, and it sucks when something like this happens. But this tragedy really got me thinking as well. Sometimes you hear about people who choose not to believe in God because of all the hurt and the pain in the world, and how a soul could possibly inflict such suffering on people. But my view is that a person's belief in God should only be strengthens by the pain of the world. If there was no God, why on Earth would any of us put up with the sicknesses that plague the world? What would be the point of it all? God puts these things in our lives to make us realize how much we need him, and how much he wants us to be close to him. Through tragedy we should help strengthen one another's beliefs, and help people realize that even though it may seem like he is nowhere in sight, God is always there.

Just a thought

Ok, well i had a few minutes before bible so i wanted to write a little bit about something cool. Last night, the rangers were officially eliminated from the playoff race. Some people may not care, but for me its the end of what was the best summer I've ever had as a sports fan. This team was probably my favorite sports team from one season of all time. I love the cowboys and the mavericks, but the ranegrs will always be my team. I think its becasue baseball players, and especially this year's rangers, seem like everyday, ordinary guys. I think I can relate to them more than hulking 300 pound lineman or seven foot centers. Watching the game today, I have seen multiple fans holding up sings simply saying, "Thank You". That makes me so proud to live where I do, and to support this team. I have never been more attached to a team, living and dying with every game. The only season I can relate it to is the breakout year the Mavs had, when they knocked off the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs.
So I guess what I want to say is, thanks Rangers, for making me believe.
I'll leave you with the best baseball quote ever:
"Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come. "

getting started

Ok, so i want this expirement to be a number of things. First of all, i want it to be a chance for me to keep up with all the people i know who have gone to different schools or are still back home. i think it will be cool to let them know what im up to. Second, i want it to be a place where i can sound off about a variety of things, because i am very opinionated. Politics, sports, whatever comes to mind. Tomorrow I am going to Heath's lake house at Eagle Mountain. Theres gonna be a ton of people going, and it will be a barrel of fun. Yet it will be interesting, because I have no idea who will be there. Well it is now lunchtime, so I'm out.

The Beginning...

Ok, so I'm really not sure if anyone will read this, but I think it will be cool to write down al the stuff that I'm experiencing right now. For those that don't know, I'm at abilene Christian University, enjoying life as a freshman. I know everyone does these, so I though I would at least use a different website than everyone else, so its not quite so cliche. Well its real late so I am done, I will try to post on this at least 2 or 3 times a week. That's the goal at least.
