So what? My quotes aren't exactly matching my titles...I wanna see you try to find 16th century quotes to match a 21st century TV show!

Well, it's been a REEEEALLY long time since I've posted anything and part of that reason is...hmm let's see, since my last post I've graduated, gone to college orientation, went to California, then Europe (Germany and Holland), then came back and had knee surgery, went to a friends wedding, and tried to organize my life before I go to college in 3.5 weeks. Really? It's that close already? Wow...it hasn't really hit me yet.

So, I've posted about graduation, a guy toward the beginning tripped and fell flat on his face. College orientation was as it should be, I am signed up for classes and I feel oriented. I'll keep California and Europe to a separate post because I was there for 3 weeks, it's going to be a lot! My meniscus was torn and so the Doctor went in lapriscopscly and cleaned it up my knee still hurts, but I have physical therapy and my stitches get taken out Monday.

Emily Poling is now Emily Rudolph and that is so exciting because she has sought after God and what he has in store for her and He has blessed her with Mike and 3 kids. 1 of the kids is already married which I think is somewhat humorous, the kid being married longer than the parents. I can't wait to see what God has in store for this wonderful family in the future.

College....wow, I am a college student. For those who have known me since I was 5...I made it! I'm sure there were times that you didn't think I would, good grief, there were times that I didn't think that I would...especially this past year. High school is said to be the best time of you life, well whoever said that lied. Yeah, I'm going to miss some of my friends, but we can get together again. I'm so glad that I'm out of that drama-infested school. Looking forward to not having the same classes every day, having more than 5 minutes between classes, having 15 hours of class a week as opposed to 35, and most of all, I'm looking forward to being back in Tennessee. I will miss NC, but I'll be back for holidays and summer and D-Now. But I love the mountains, the football, the orange, and the tradition.

No great sum of wisdom can I share,

Just a hope beyond compare

A hope that you will run

Run long and hard to glorify the One

The One who endured a harsh a painful cross

So that we can count all our gain as loss

Press on toward the finish line

And know his love so divine
