About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed. Complete Profile

Home and In Recovery

Winter Conference was a blast. If you weren't there and you want to hear more, I'd be glad to talk about it. I've been telling my family about it all day. I've also been cleaning our lovely house all day. We're still not completely done. To brighten my day, as I've been cleaning, I've picked up some change. I've come to the grand total of five shiny little pennies. And they were all in different places. Why this makes me smile, I'll never know.

I hope everyone is having a good New Year's Eve. I almost can't believe it's going to be 2006. I remember in 1999 thinking I couldn't wait till 2000 'cause I'd turn ten (oh so old! :-P) and all these exciting things were supposed to happen, such as all the computers in the world blowing up. Ya know, stuff like that. It was pretty disappointing when the clock turned to midnight and nothing happened. (slight sarcasm)

I got a ton of sleep last night, but I'm still pretty tired. I didn't sleep well at all at WC. They definitely should have made 'no hair dryers until 7:00 (at least!)' rule. Also, from rooming with Beth, Amy, and Abby, I learned three significant things:
1. Abby talks in her sleep.
2. Amy has a very low tolerance of whispering when she's trying to sleep.
3. Beth can't whisper. Period.

Don't worry, I learned some other pretty great things, as well, but you're gonna have to ask me about everything else. Most of you were there (and I'm lazy), so I don't want to type it out. I think I'm going to have a party with Maria tonight. Maybe we'll do something exciting like take a watch, climb out the window and sit on the roof, and watch the digits turn to 12:00. Maybe to make it an even better party, we'll bring out my bag of peanut M&M's that my dear friend Beth got me an munch on 'em while we're waiting and freezing. Should be great. Now I just have to mention this fabulous plan to Maria. Goodnight, all. See you next year!

Song of the post ~ "Yellow" by Coldplay

*I love Coldplay. I have like 4 of their songs that I want to put on here.
