What's goin' on?

Hola folks!
What's been goin' on?!? I haven't been around in a bit. I've been waiting on the new DSL modem we've got here.
So life's pretty good. Andrew and I have been together for a month and two days now (that probably doesn't seem like a long time for most people, but it's been an awesome month and two days!). I'm totally stealing this from him, but it's almost like we were made for each other. I could never ask for a better boyfriend. This past Saturday Andrew, Meagan, Bryce, and I all went to Florence to eat and see "In Good Company". It was pretty good, but the time I got to spend with Andrew was infinite times better! So the day was pretty awesome.
Region band was okay. I did really well and (for some strange reason) got more nervous as I went along. So my solo and sight-reading (the two biggest parts of the thing) was pretty much crap. I found out today that I ranked 42nd out of all the clarinets that tried out in clinic, which wasn't too bad considering I didn't feel really prepared like I should have been and I'm a freshmen.
Well, I guess that's about it for now.

(I'm missing you like always!)

Err..Can't Think of One at the Moment

The Connect Conference was pretty cool. I had a lot of fun, but in a sense I agree with Ryan. The guy speaking was quite a "shoot everyone with the Gospel" type. I agreed with him sometimes and then other times I didn't. I think I'm more of a person who has to get to know and understand a person before you start talking about God with them. But that's just best for me. There are different ways to witness to a person and because everyone is different everyone would prefer a different way to be approached. The Connect Conference most definitely helped me in seeing a way to reach out, but I think I should have a solid foundation with a person first. But that's all just me. I do think small things like wearing a shirt with a Christian message or something like that does effect someone a little and when you conduct yourself in such a way of that of Jesus, people really do take notice.
That's not to say that I only want my close friends to know Daddy, "everyone" should know him and have a personal relationship with him, I just think it would be easier for me to reach out to people by getting to know them first. I guess you could say I don't really know what to think about the whole thing, but I do think that going to the conference was definitely something I should have done. The concert was also really awesome.

Last night I went with Andrew, Ashley, Julie, and Jonathan to Florence to see White Noise. Yes! My parents actually let me ride all the way to Florence with Andrew! I was surprised too. Anyway, it was totally awesome. White Noise was okay, I don't have a whole lot to compare it to, considering I haven't always been much of a scary movie person. I think there was only about two times where I actually started freaking out or whatever. I don't have any idea what David and Collin were talking about that movie being really awesome! But someone is really proud of Andrew ;-)

Other People

Well, I've been hinted at that a lot more people read this than I thought. If you read this, post a comment to just say who you are. I'm just curious.

Missing Computer!

Wow, it's been a couple of days without the computer, which basically stinks. AOL or some connection or something crazy like that got really messed up and I couldn't get on most of the weekend and earlier today. I didn't talk to Andrew once this weekend because he was in Sumter either, and the few times that he was on I wasn't because of the blasted computer. Which "sucks for me" (I'm quoting Banks so I didn't say "sucks"). So, onto what's happen since I last updated.
Not a whole lot. Modest Mouse is cool. So is The Postal Service (no, not the one that brings the mail). They're a lot different from what I would usually listen to, but I was listening to Chole's ipod and she had "Float On" and one of the Postal Service's songs on it. It was pretty cool.
Uh...I'm going to the Connect Conference, which should be pretty awesome. The thing is I can't go with Beth and Brandon to move or whatever this weekend. I really hate this, but for some reason or another I think God really wants me to go to this. I really hope they understand..err.

First Day of the Semester

Well, school's back and that basically stinks. No new classes, no new people...everything's the same thanks to the "great" ninth grade academy. Although now I get to see Andrew less. How great--yeah right! I'm trying to find all the possible times in which I will be able to see him (it's not much). Beka has gym the same period has him and she's a complete loser because seeing as you don't do anything in gym she will be get talk to him and whatnot.
Band is pretty lame. It's like attack of the sophomores because Julie, Ashley, Samuel, and Jarrett Leviner are all in the freshmen class. Well, I love all of them, but yeah. I've also got to get my solo down considering I didn't exactly work on it during the break. I felt bad, but I think I can get it down. Plus I've got to work on my scales again.
Well, seeing as I've got so much work to do on my clarinet I'm off to practice..

To My Much Loved Readers

As I have learned, blogs are not completely safe from public eyes. Well, at least from those crazy people I love!! I didn't know that Beth, Brandon, and Beka too all kept up with this thing. I mean I know I gave you guys the link or whatever a while back, but I had no idea you guys kept up with this thing (you guys must be really bored)! That's pretty awesome though. It's a good way to keep up with what's going on in my life. I'm gonna have to find a way to keep up with y'alls! I've been pretty slack on entries lately though. December has like a whole of what? Five entries! Anyway, I just thought I'd make the first entry of the year for you guys!

BeTh!
It has been AWESOME getting to know you! I feel like I could tell you anything and no one would ever find out. I guess that's something that comes with being a big sister! But thanks TONS for all the advice, talks (especially at mission trip. I don't know if you remember, but the whole thing about how people are different...if you know what I mean), story times, and all that awesome stuff! I'll never forget the car peeing on me! haha! Or YOU!! I love you tons!!!
BrANdOn!
WOO! It's been awesome getting to know you too! Remember the letters on the tissues and napkins at ski trip last year?!?! What fun! And who could ever forget yelling at Thomas to "STOP!?" It's been CRAZY FANTASTIC hanging out with you. I feel like I could tell you anything as well. Us otters have to stick together! I'll never forget you! I love you tons!!!

Even though I don't have a big sister going to see a boyfriend or some crazy connections getting me up near Clemson I'll be up there as much as I can! I'm going to miss you guys more than you know! I know everyone else is too! You've done more than enough in our lives and we'll never forget y'all! Tons of hugs and kisses!!!

BeKa!
Wow...I was thinking about the year on New Years. Think about it...how much have we gone through in one year?!?! There are so many times when we have been so far and mad at each other, but look! We always come back to each other! Girl, I love you soooooo much and I thank you sooo much for being there to support me and know I'm always here when you need me.

:-* Loads of love to all of you!! Wow, it looks all valentiny (if that's a word; well, it is now).
