The God of the Ages, spending time with my amazing husband Rob, laughing with my siblings, smiling at the small things, foggy cities, leaves falling, waking up and seeing frost covering everything outside, shadows, tall buildings, small cottages, cute loft apartments, seeing rolling hills of green, traveling to new places, sitting in complete silence, listening to music so loudly that you end up hearing new things every time you listen :), seeing houses that remind you of Christmas even when it's August, writing/playing/singing/making music, discovering a new artist, black & white pictures, trees, quality espresso/coffee, getting caught in the rain, the way the streets look after it has rained, seeing a movie for the first time, seeing a movie for the thirtieth time, hearing complimentary dissonance between two notes, listening to a conversation between two children, watching my Dad laugh, making my Mom laugh, finding the perfect gift for a loved one, being amazed at the way the human body works, talking with a good/old friend for 3 straight hours, the feeling of soreness after you've worked out, taking care of kids, studying about what God intended family to look like, being in God's presence, finding that He's in everything, writing in my journal, cooking, memory triggering smells, sitting in the World Prayer Center, being cold and then getting warm, windows and hard-wood floors, sun rays, anything beautiful, anything that makes you feel alive, and anything covered in green foliage. :)

I don't watch much tv...I actually, currently, don't get any channels so I watch movies a lot. But, I have been known to enjoy the occasional episode of Alias, Lost, or Friends. That's just about all I watch on the "tube".
Books
Mmmm..good ones! Those are the ones I like! I love books that bring me closer to being a whole person, in Christ. I love books that teach me how to communicate with people better and how to be more considerate towards them. I also love a good novel....
A few titles for you that I have enjoyed in the past- Mere Christianity by: C.S. Lewis, For Women Only by: Shaunti Feldhahn, The Streiker's Bride by: (I can't remember), and many more.....
Heroes
Jesus, Rob, Job, my Grandma...all for very different reasons. :)
About me: Hmm...time for another change in this section. God is good. You should know that I love Him, first off. He's so faithful....He is so constant! Second, I love my Rob, my family, and my friends. :) Hi Rob. Hi family. Hi friends. They are my sunshines! Yes, you can have more than one! Rob and I just got married and we are loving the newlywed life! We are heading off to Oxford, England for him to study there for a semester! Wish us luck! Until then, I'm working at a Pediatric Clinic and I'm really enjoying the stability after having had a long year of transitions. I like my job and although it often accompanies screaming babies, there are happy ones that greet me too and they are soooooo cute! It makes my job different every day having them come talk to you about little pieces of everything. Oh, and I like the girls I work with. Oh, and my roommate...my amazing husband, Rob!
...More to come, I'm sure....
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus, of course. That will be pretty awesome when it happens! Also...my grandpa. Ummm...I wouldn't mind meeting Michael W. Smith either. Maybe getting a piano lesson or two! Oooo! Oooo! And Bethany Dillon. She's great...I think we'll keep her.
Christmas Graphics
Haha, it's french bread, remember?! That was a lonnng time ago. And i definitely wanna go to the Garden of the Gods sometime.. that place was amazing. :)
I was kinda reluctant to put that picture of me with my nails painted and stuff on here, but oh well.. :)
That's great to hear. I'm doing good. I joined a breakdance crew called outlaws and got a job at American Eagle. Finally:) Hope to see you around! Have a great night.
Christina!-im really good!-just been going to school and lots of homework now but eh its life i guess! How are u and Rob? HOw the married life??? tell Rob i said! HELLO!
So, I got Brian's check last week and deposited it....and then...it bounced! Anywho-got cash from him tonight and will be mailing you a check tomorrow. I hope that all is well!! Your wedding pictures are truly beautiful!
Oh my goodness! That sounds soo creepy! I'm sorry! But I am glad that you guys made the best of it with sleeping in your van. At least it is a good story! ;) When are you guys leaving for Europe? I still can't believe that you get to live over there! I am gettin ready for Jamaica...it amazes me how many little things I have left to do! There are soo many more last minute things to do when you are a leader! But its gonna be worth it!
You stayed in you van?! Yeah I'm gonna need to hear this story! Well not much new is going on with me except that I am leaving for my Jamaica mission trip in a little less than 3 weeks! Kinda crazy! I miss you too but it was soo good to see you and I am glad that we were able to stay with you and get some time to just be around each other!
I don't even know how that happened! Probably because I made a new profile (this one) and i just posted a lot of bulletins about it from the old profile when i was making the new one. I didn't really add anyone, I just let them add me if they wanted. :)
Oh Gail! I'm sorry it has been hard! We will have to talk about that sometime...Don't worry about your house situation! I am just excited to be hanging out with you!! I miss you a lot! But I would love to talk to you soon! So let's both try calling each other in the next couple weeks ok? That way hopefully one of us will get a hold of the other! ;)
