Jenn and me on my graduation day!! 

Emily got tired of riding her bike half way through and 'couldn't do it anymore!!' so i had to carry it the rest of the way 

yes, the kids were playing with water guns 

she loves gold digger - what's not to love about her?? 

the bestest girls in the world 

Point people - I love you guys!! 

Emily liked her Care bear helmet 

We got to babysit the Falko kids as my cousin was having her 5th child - yes she's crazy - and they were hilarious, as usual 

Mr. Spike Lee spoke at Jenn's graduation - despite him being Spike Lee, he was quite a boring speaker - all he got was a polite applause at the end. I almost felt bad for him, until I remember he just got paid thousands for that retarded speech, and I didn't feel bad for him anymore 

The end of an era

I graduate today!!!!!! woohoo!!!!!

Night club worship

AIM users are going to be offered a free phone number (see here for story). Because we don't have enough numbers to remember, and there aren't enough ways to reach people nowadays. The service comes out May 16 - it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

Oh and having church in a club is bizarre but awesome. The Point met this Sunday at Platinum, a club in downtown New Brunswick. It was weird seeing bottles of alcohol behind the pastor as he spoke, but besides that the atmosphere was amazing - very retro and laid back and chill and just plain comfortable. It was neat worshiping in that environment. It really made the saying 'church isn't about the place, it's about the people' so incredibly real.

Alcohol is evil

Never ever ever put alcohol on a blister. Unless you have a sick sick enjoyment of pain. I went golfing today, and I didn't have a glove so I got a blister on my hand. Nothing very big, just bothersome. Anywho, my hands felt all nasty at the end of the day so I did what most normal people did and washed them - nothing wrong, no fits of agony going on here. While I was on the way home, my hands still felt yucky so I put the antibacterial stuff on my hand and HOLY CRAP it hurt!! All I remember was sharp shooting pains on my hand and screaming. Maybe a black out, i don't remember....ok, maybe not that bad, but it did hurt like hell and it's definitely not something I'd do again.

So remember kids, next time you have an itty bitty blister, say no to alcohol!

Peace, I'm out -

they crack me up 

Haha we taught them well 

Painful memories

I was reminded yesterday why I don't play softball anymore. I got frickin pegged in the shins - that's right, that's shins, not shin - with the friggin ball. It was a line drive straight to my leg, and the ball ricocheted off one leg and hit the other. At first it was a sharp sting followed by a dull throbbing, but boy did I feel it when I got home. The kid got out by the way - I purposely kicked the ball towards first so the first baseman could just pick it up and get the moron out. Seriously, I meant to do that. Unfortunately the lovely play cost me skirt priveleges for the next few weeks. Perfect timing too, with graduation and grad fiestas coming up. Maybe I'll learn how to glob on cover-up so it doesn't show. I should come up with my own product, 'make up for legs'. That's probly what stockings are for.

Uptown girl

I know it's been a while since I last posted anything, I've been busy with various things. I can't believe I'm graduating in a few weeks! It seems unreal. Time has really flown by. The other thing I really can't believe is I'm moving to NYC in a few months! Talk about a major change. I'm super excited and super scared at the same time. Life as I know it pretty much won't exist anymore in July. Very little's gonna be the same as it is now, but I can't wait to see what God's got in store for me in the very near future.

Where'd all the good people go? NEW JERSEY!!

There's something in the drinking water. Or maybe it's just that good weather actually does put people in better moods and changes them. Yesterday while going around and doing my business, people were unusually nice. I felt like I was back in Tennessee, not in Jersey. Every person I passed made eye contact and said hi. Seriously. All of them. I kept thinking that maybe my fly was open and they were smiling cuz they were trying not to laugh, but I checked and that wasn't it. It was so weird, in a good way. That's evidence that Jerseyans aren't inherently evil.

Eat meat

I came across this article in the NY Times about Argentina and just had to pull a few quotes from it:

On a per capita basis, people here may be the biggest consumers of beef in the world. Each year, the average Argentine eats nearly 150 pounds of beef, more than twice as much as an average American does.

"I always buy beef, and I'm not going to stop now just because a politician tells me to," Amelia Rava, a homemaker, said outside a supermarket here Thursday. "If I came home without beef, the family would kill me."

Change

Learn to embrace change, and you'll begin to recognize that life is in constant motion, and every change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place, and your life becomes a journey of change that always finds its way.

I love that quote. And it's so true. So much is changing all around me, and so much more has yet to drastically change. And I'm incredibly excited and happy and anxious about all of it at the same time. My life as a college student is coming to an end, and fast. I get to move in three months. I'm gonna be a med student in 5 months. Life as I know it will be completely flipped upside down. And I can't wait for it.

The summer wind came blowing in

Tis the season for sandals, skirts, and strawberry smoothies. I'm loving it!
