Hey gurrrrrrl

So whats up homie? haha. Oh some things never change!

So I don't even know if people read this but I have not updated in nearly 10 years. So after my much needed break from blogging , I am back!!! Ok, so right now I am living at home...home meaning with my parents in my childhood house doing the whole highschool thing again. Its great! I loving having everything paid for, ie: food, rent, etc. It actually has not been anything like the nightmare I had anticipated or prepared for. Well, just kidding, that is a bit harsh, but i feared the worst when preparing to move back in with my oh-so-lovely parents. But they have been great! Even fun at times. haha.

Anyways, I am currently working on passing all my HCC classes , working on my t-shirt quilt that has been waiting to see the light for a good 4 years, and trying to become French by mastering the language...one fun hour at a time.

I never ever ever in a million years thought that moving back to Houston would be as much fun as it has turned out to be. I "almost" don't want to leave...but i did say almost therefore I still do want to leave. No worries to anyone who was worried.

I have also had the pleasure of getting to know and be a part of an awesome group of people and church at Houston's First Baptist. I have to get used to saying and typing that because I used to go to First Baptist Dallas and so I always want to say and type First Baptist Houston but its Houston's First Baptist...only to be technical here. haha. I never thought the best advice I'd receive would be from my sister but I'm not going to lie, when she suggested, pretty much insisted that I go to First, I was very hesitant. I'm glad I went and have continued to go. It's been amazing. I've never been in so much fellowship and met so many amazing people and been so plugged in, at least not in a long time! The last year and a half I was living in Dallas I was living by myself and if you really want to understand loneliness just live by yourself when you're miss social like I am. It was hard and through that experience I realized and learned that God did not make us, humans, Christians, anyone to be by themself. He made us to be in community and I was definetly lacking that. Not to say that you can't live by yourself and be in community, but living by myself only magnified how much I was lacking that community in my life. And just how much I desperately needed and longed for it! I still do to this very day and I'm slowly but surely feeding that need, or should I say, the Lord is feeding that need and so amazingly.

Anyways, there's so much going on in my head, in my heart, in my life, privately, publicly...

Ps. my new favorite thing to do is Skype. I know that it has been around for a while now and its nothing new, but I have recently discovered its amazingness and sharing what I've learned with those around me and its so much fun. Can I please just say that I spent an evening but I spent the evening just "hanging out" with Val via skype. How fun that was! It was like we were in the same room together, just doing our own thing but carrying on a conversation. haha. Typical us! Gotta love old friends!

Ps. for Halloween I was definetly a car mechanic. And not even a "sexy" one...haha. The funniest part about the whole outfit was that it kind of looked real meaning it was the complete opposite of anything and everything I am: girly! very girly! haha. It was awesome and I had a great Halloween spending time helping out at church and then hanging out with some cool new friends!

Cheers** to living, loving, and learning...
