I'm back!!! Again! :)

Well, I've decided to come back to xanga....at least for now. Since I am now suddenly a 'parent'! I thought I'd do little updates on here with pictures every once in awhile for those that are interested and don't live near us. For those of you that may not know the situation that has brought me to parenthood - I am now a foster parent to Kierah, the young girl that I have mentored for the past year and half. She is 13 years old and just started the 8th grade last week. She moved in with us (myself and my roommate Ashley) on July 31st. It's been crazy! But good crazy! :) Of course, we can always use any prayers! :)

As for an update....well I guess it's not really an update, just a fun even that we went to last night. The middle school youth group at our church had their kick-off event last night. It was called "Ice Cream Olympics" but we referred to it as "Ice Cream Throw Down!" :) It was so crazy! Each student brought a half gallon of ice cream (the super cheap stuff) and they had different events, like relay races where they had to carry the block of ice cream on their heads. And then at the end they just had an all out war where they ran around throwing ice cream at each other. It was so funny to watch! After the ice cream was out the Brentwood fire department came and they had a GIANT "sprinkler" to clean off all the sticky-ness!! :) It was so much fun! The kids seemed to really love it and it was great to watch too!

I'm really hoping Kierah will want to get involved with the youth group, but it's so hard when you don't have any friends (yet) to want to get involved. So we shall see....

Here are a few of the pics! :)

Fireproof

I finally saw the movie Fireproof. I wasn't sure what to think since I've heard good and bad. And although there is, of course, a bit of a lack in acting talent (which is expected since all the actors are VOLUNTEERS from a church!) but overall, I was REALLY impressed with the movie! It was actually very funny, interesting and an emotional story with an amazing challenge. I have such a passion for working with couples and helping them see the love God has for them and the love He desires and EXPECTS them to have for each other. I hope He can use me someday.

If you have not seen this movie, you should. And don't be judgemental or a movie snob just because the acting, etc. may not be perfect - it's an amazing ministry they are doing!

Everyday I feel like I have to fight the urge to crawl back into bed and sleep the day away.....

I want to know, what makes YOUR life exciting?

(and I know and have heard all the 'good Christian things' to say, I want real, true answers...please )

Ah! 65 degrees....

It's beautiful here today! I love it! As much as I love winter, it's just not the same here - I can't say winter is my favorite season anymore, not when you don't get any snow!! But that's ok, it makes me appreciate this nice weather even more. It's so nice! It's warm-ish and sunny, perfectly blue skies! And the kitty-cats are LOVING it as well! We finally bought them collars with their names and our phone numbers on them so we feel a little better letting them out in the yard. So far they've never left the fenced in back yard but just in case...although Miss Eth wont wear hers - she freaks out. But we just keep the back door cracked so the ZOO can come in and out as they please. It's nice!

I told Ashley yesterday, I think I must've missed out on something in my childhood - I LOVE games and just last night I bought a puzzle and a coloring book at the dollar store! I'm 25!!!! Haha, oh well. I can admit it, puzzles, games, coloring books, etc. are therapuetic for me. I guess that's the first step right? - First step to help is admitting you have a problem!

I had class yesterday (Saturday class from 8am - 2:45pm -- MISERABLE!), but I actually started feeling really sick and seemed feverish - cold sweat and such - so I left at like 11:30. It was nice to leave of course but I hated feeling sick! But after laying down for awhile I was feeling mostly better. Then we went to church last night which was great! One of the things that Pastor Lloyd shared was a 'blog video' of this comedian guy (I forget his name) who is (self-proclaimed) an atheist and shares about a guy that came up to give him a Bible - a comment this man (the atheist) said was "How much do you have to hate someone to NOT share your beliefs with someone you believe is facing an eternity in hell!" WOW....really makes you think....

I took a different sleeping medicine last night, which always messes with my sleeping - I had some really crazy dreams last night! One having to do with a certain male whom I have not seen or even barely talked to in over a year!!! What the heck is wrong with me!!?? Why am I still having dreams about him!!!!??? Drives me CRAZY! I also had a dream that Ashley and I got in an argument and when I woke up the next morning she had moved her stuff out and wouldn't talk to me ever again. It was awful! I made her promise this morning that she'd never do that in real life!

The first dream's really messing with my emotions/psyche though.....

BTW - Miss Ashley has started her own blog.... http://www.xanga.com/atollett
