HELLLLLLLO!!

So I started off my "summer" with a little maymester...8am-5pm everyday except sunday...no big deal.

This maymester included a little worksho

p put on by the national FFA officers...don't worry since I took the class I am automatically an FFA member...card and everything! So need any pigs or cows or farms taken care of...you know who to call ;)

So that was fun, hung out with a random but fun group of people including a trip up to campus at night to explore with Keni, Chase and Todd. fun night. I got home last wed. and immediately drove to my grandparents lake house for the weekend.

some of the funny events that happened:

We decided we were going to see "Robin Hood" in the little po-dunk movie theater in Gun Barrel, Tx. We get there and mom asks "isn't robin hood the one that steals from the blind and gives to the poor?"-in all seriousness. then papa (grandpa) starts searching around his seat in the theater looking for the remote to turn it up...

We get home and start watching a home makeover show (one of the many ones on TLC)

I simply ask, "Why are carpenters so sexy?"

Aunt Deb: "Dang and those muscles!"

Mom: "It's because they're doing all that screwing"

not too much more family stuff can be shared but this is the PG stuff.

We also played a little game where each person had to go around and say the names that they had heard people call the female body part (think lower)

yep that's my inappropriate little family but ya gotta love em.

Since I've gotten back I've gotten to talk to Lex (on the way home), Brooke kenz-a little bit and Smass. And last night Lindsay and Lance came over and my dad grilled us burgers and we got to eat and fellowship which was awesome. I love that I got to see them :)

So i've been in frisco for about 2 days now and tomorrow me, my sis, mom and dad leave for the wonderful world of Disney. So excited about it! I love feeling like a kid again and get me around Space Mountain, Cinderellas Castle, Belle (Beauty and The Beast) and you've got the little 5 yr old that is stored up within me. Maybe i'll even go on my honeymoon there someday....

So the countdown begins for my sister's engagement...I'm guessing it's soon and they're getting more serious and it's only a matter of time now..

I did find out that I am for sure going to art school after I graduate to focus on photography, design (either fashion or interior) and if I did interior I would want to do it more for stores rather than houses. Think anthropologies amazing decorations...gets me everytime.

Anyway I think that's all for now, I miss you all so much and can't wait to get back in July and see most of y'all again! :)

LOVE Y'ALL!

Buddy says hi :)

Hello everyone!

I miss you all so much!

It's day 2 now of summer school in Cstat and I'm having so much fun in my new house!(Kenz, Linds, and Al can't wait till y'all get here!) It was such a simple joy to leave the house yesterday and get to lot 97 in 4 minutes!!! College Station isn't quite the ghost town that I thought it was going to be, but it is definitely a lot calmer. I love the classes that I am taking so far, but I do have a lot of work a head of me, so please be praying for obedience and the Lord's guidance for they will be greatly appreciated(and my parents will be appreciative too ;) ) I'm excited about the challenges and adventures a head of me though.

Home was SO good. Being with the family was such a blessing and I got to watch Elly at a lot of events since her senior year is coming to a close!

This is before Elly's prom pictures with her best friend Caroline.

I really am so thrilled to have Elly down here next semester. There is so much of me that thinks I know exactly how to walk her through the college life and I am so tempted to be hands on in her journey of growth here...

BUT... the Lord has been teaching me a lot about praying with faith and surrendering control. So I am giving even my sister to Him (her new friends, new temptations, spiritual growth, her boyfriend-ah!) doesn't it seem tempting that in the things we REALLY desire we feel as if in those situations we need to take control from the Lord? Maybe it's just me... but it has been so freeing to be reminded of the peace that transcends ALL understanding).

I got to go to Pine Cove the other weekend with Michelle Smith and it was SO GREAT to see Anna and all of the Ranch camp friends. The staff got to hear about House of Faith and the Lords work through it. Afterwards we went to visit our Director's wife who is the most tangible role model of a Godly woman that I have ever met. She has her own blog about her family and random journal entries. I hope to be the mom, wife, friend, and leader that she is... here is her blog that I thought I would share :

Keepin' it easy


Brooke came to visit last night and it was such a blessing and energy booster to see her :) I've loved living with Brit again and Julie. Just wait till you walk into our kitchen, you'll find our beautiful mascot...The house is pretty much done except for a few boxes in the kitchen, but it's making me so excited about our Recipe Club next year! I'm praying for each and every one of you. I'm in class from 10-130 this whole summer so please give me a call out side of those times! Isaiah 40:3 has been on my heart today for all of you at camp, internships, or in school. My prayer for us is that we all would in our own way "Prepare the way for the Lord".

Loved listening to this song today,
JesusCulture- "Your Love Never Fails"

Love y'all dearly,

Lex
