this is a lovely picture of my brother and me at 5 in the morning waiting outside of staples to buy doorbusters on the morning after thanksgiving...aka. Black Friday.It had to be like zero degrees outside. we were freezing! But, sibling bonding doesn't get much better than that, fighting the crowds, freezing in line, hoping that there are still some cool things left in the store, and strategizing on the best way to sell these on ebay, and what we'll use the extra cash for.
Besides my awesome trip home for thanksgiving, not much else is new... I am trying to finish out my semester, and make it through finals, with christmas vacation always in sight.
I am excited about what God is doing in my life these days. I am constantly amazed by how He is moving in my church, and giving me more opportunities to get involved in worship and missions and leadership. I am starting up a small group on my campus next semester, so you can pray for that if you think of it. I'm also excited to see how he opens up girls' lives for me to speak into them when I coach them. I am coaching at Whittier Christian high school, and I totally love the girls. I love to hear their joys, and problems, and high school drama. I love to see them catch the love for the game, and to learn new things, and more importantly I love to see them grasp a love for Christ, and His love for them. I hope that this year, I can be more than some coach that makes them run or do drills, but someone who points them to Christ and shows them what a life lived with Him looks like.
well, it's almost Christmas, and down here I can't tell that by the weather, but I can tell by my roommate Shannon's decorating. She found "the christmas box" my mom gave us with a bunch of random christmas trinkets, and I realized that the season is in full swing, when I walked into my bathroom and found a christmas tree skirt around the bottom of our toilet...well, when you don't have a tree...
that's enough blogging for tonight.
merry Christmas
and the new question is... (there's two...can you handle it?)
what is the most Ridiculous Christmas gift you've ever recieved? and...
what is the most meaningful/memorable gift you have ever received?

Keri - welcome to real life. Blogdom. How's church and Jesus and stuff? I liked your one word descriptions of the accident on my Blog, they are getting super funny.
thanks casey - I owe my entrance into the wonderful world of blog to you and danny. and...it makes my boring classes much much better.
Way to use the hand me down Christmas treats.. tree skirt turned toilet rug.. I can honestly say I never thought of that one. I was going to call Shannon and remind her that I sent down those goodies in the fall for you all to play with. I can't wait to see your apartment this weekend to appreciate your decorating talents! Go girls!!! Merrrryyyy Christmas! Luv ya.., Mamma
Hmm...most ridiculous Christmas gift ever would have to be a framed picture of my hands looking like a butt.
This seems like a loaded question... what if the person that has given you the most ridiculous gift ever ends up reading this blog? Or what if someone thinks that they gave you the most memorable gift ever and you list something else instead? I'm nervous about this question Kers. I think that I will go with the always safe answer of Jesus being the best gift ever! =)
I've never got a Christmas gift...
alright Jamie... safe answer fair enough...though I think you are thinking a little too much. if you don't like the question, you can always make up a better one...
as for me...the most ridiculous gift I ever got was used soap
