Burgers and Onion Rings: What can I say?

As you know, I have recently returned from Rio Viejo, Honduras, and little village in the jungles of that beautiful country.

When I got back, I had more trouble getting used to the A/C and being able to flush paper in the toilet and drink the water, than I did last time.

In the three weeks I have been home, I have done nothing but sleep and read, which both happen to be my two favorite things.

Most people want good ol' American food upon re-entry, but me, I could care less. I just wanted my pillow and my bed.

As of late, I have found myself craving a hugantic burger with a side of huge onion rings and a coke. Now, I'm not much of a beef person, so this craving strikes me as odd. I normally would never ever crave aburger the sixe of my face, but for some reason, it is all I can think about!!!

I do not know whether I should give into the urge inside, or try to suppress it and not think about it!! I mean, I am trying to lose a few more, well, quite a few more inches in order to look good in my maid of honor dress. I want to look hot in my friend's wedding, is that so bad.

This gives me all the more reason to continue on in suppressing this uncontrollable urge to eat that juicy fat burger and onion rings. I mean, where would doing that get me? Absolutely nowhere.

Just the other day I went to the movies and saw Eclipse with a couple of friends, but before then, we went to eat. We arrived at Texas Roadhouse and all I could tink about was that stupid burger, and I decided to go with chicken, afraid that the overwhelming burger would cause my stomach to begin an uproar against my body and revolt against the burger. My decision to go with the chicken was fair, and I am glad that I did it.

Eclipse was by far the best and most accurate of all three Twilight Saga movies thusfar. I thoroughly enjoyed it, expecially Jasper's southern accent, mainly because I am from the South.
Gotta love a Southern Gentleman :)

If I give into the craving, I will be the first to let you know.

Summer Session 1: Fin

Mango Lime-Aid. Three words you would think would not go together.

However, I LOVE it. It is absolutely fantastic. Yes, it makes me speak/write in short sporadic sentences. YESA!!!

In three weeks, I will be on a plane headed for SPS, Honduras, which I am so anxious to get there.

At this moment, I am currently stuck to a chair because I am wearing shorts on this hot summer day.

I haven't made a list in a while, so i think I will give it a shot:

Things I love:

1. Jesus
2. The sun, because it makes my skin golden tan
3. Chicken wings
4. Mexican food
5. Honduras
6. My church
7. Random sayings that pop into my head, that no one understands except for me
8. my dog
9. RAIN
10. Musicals

Today is Memorial Day, so here is a LOUD shout out to all the amazing military personnel keeping our country safe!!!

ALICE!!!!!

First, I would like to thank the person who designed the Alice in Wonderland Pandora station creator. It is fantastic... Now I have film scores on my Pandora, and it makes me happy!!

Anyhow, I have roughly nine days of sumer classes left, and then I will be finished with my undergrad career... Which is slightly on the scary side of things.

One of my friends is starting a Bible study tonight, and I am ever so excited.

You will have to forgive me, my writing juices are not flowing at the moment, so it is hard for me to concentrate.

I can say that I am ready for June 1, and June 17. Alice in Wonderland comes out the first, and the seventeenth, I will be heading back to Honduras.

::.Memories.::

My name.

From the picture above:

A gift given to me by a person I hold near and dear to my heart. She gave all her graduates a bag with their name embroidered on the front.

We are all mentored in some way by her. She calls her "college girls."

Three of them graduated this past weekend, becoming adults released into the "real world"

as they call it.

She invited us over for dinner, made especially for us.

She gave us the bag, in hope that it will be useful to carry a lunch to work, considering that

eating out will not be an option, at least not everyday.

I love this bag.

Important Things Have Yet to Come

Sometimes I wonder why I go through, or deal with, some of the things that happen to me.

Then , I recall that God pulls us through trials and hard times to make us stronger, better Christians.

Right now, I am on the verge of graduating college, and have yet to secure a job; I haven't completely decided on grad school; and, I am beginning to feel the transition of being young, to becoming an adult, in the real world.

I didn't think that I would feel so uncertain about life as an adult.

God uses things to teach us. He is preparing me for something, I'm just not sure for what yet.

Shut Your Eyes

I'm prety sure that at this moment, there are about 4,000 college students still asleep, as today is what my school calls reading day: A.K.A., NO CLASS!!

Earlier this week, a decision was made for my sister and nieces to come live at my house for a little while. So, naturally, the youngest of the two very precious girls, slept in bed with me. Normally, I do fine, but last night, I just could not seem to get the sleep/wake cycle in control. Obviously, my body thought it was cool to be awake a one o'clock in the morning, with me knowing that I had to get up in just a mere four hours to drive the kids to school.

I now sit here, in the library of the school I attend, staring blankly at the hammock in front of me, thinking, "Should I go nap. Wait, what kind of sick people have laid in that thing. Does it really matter? I'm about to fall over... No, I will study, as originally intended." All this going on in my head, seeing that I'm the only student in the entire building, I'm sure.

I'm not sure how far the studying will get me, because I'm so exhausted, but at least I can give it a run.

For now, I will continue to stare at the hammock. Who knows, maybe I will get over the germaphobia and take a little napsy.

The Opportunity Arises

As of late, I have studying day in and day out. Now that I have a break, I can finally sit down and write.

An early summer has arrived here in good ol' Tennessee, and I must say that I am ever so excited. In two months, I will be landing in Honduras for another mission trip with my school. I am so glad that God has given me the opportunity to go again. This time, we will be there for around three weeks. Which means we can cover more ground and help more people with their medical problems. In case you have forgotten, here is the beautiful place I am returning too, and hope to continue to do so:

I am so excited to return. It is my dream to one day live there and teach.
