life...

so it's been a while since my last real entry....

i don't have anything completely original, but here is a tidbit of what i just wrote in my journal (yes i am a journal enthusiast) which explains my lack of blogging, since most of my energy is spent journalling....even though they are essentially the same. anyways....

I think that i shall write a chronicle of my adventures with mona on thursday....it all started at about 5pm when my dad took me to UNM when he was picking us Joshua. Well, you see, Joshua had to go to "the weekend" meeting. and, since i had a lack of meetings, i switched roles with Joshua and posed as a college student for the night.

so, off Mona and i do to the lovely local asian restaurant. i've been there twice now, but have yet to actually eat there. kinda weird, i know... so yeah, i sat there and watched Monique eat, while i drank my soap flavored water. Good times, let me tell ya!!

then off to the shuttle to get to miss Mona's car way off in the boondocks:) lovely UNM parking;) then to Nob Hill for some hard core not so shopping (considering the fact that no purchases were made). during this time i experienced quite a few first times, which is always a good thing (ok maybe i shouldn't say always).

so here's a list of the firsts:

1. first time in Urban Outfitters

2. first time in Buffalo Exchange (where we ran into Gina who was looking for cow-girl clothes for the weekend of course) so we attempted to help her in that search...

3. first time at other random stores of which i do not know the names. a hippie-ish store with all the spacers and tye-dye shirts you'll ever want to see. and a store with more records than i knew existed....

4. first time getting honked at while crossing central (crazy sketch albuquerquians...)

5. this one is my favorite: first time at Renovate. where i ran into a bunch of college kids- go figure! i also got the pleasure of Kristian Stanfill's amazing worship playing.

6. first time walking down central at nine o clock at night and not being scared for my life

so yes, this is it. hope you enjoyed. sorry my sentences are completely grammatically incorrect. it is a part of my "i want school to be over already" attitude:)

ice cream shopping

Picking an ice cream is a serious decision. it takes much contemplation. this is a very important and stressful process. thank goodness we made it out alive and with some 88cent pints!!

Dr sudoku

Don't you just love video games?! Especially gameboy.

Monday

was surprisingly good. Tiara kidnapped me and we went to marshalls and the mall. There we met ashley, and then traded her for the mountainers. Spent some time in limited too, but brandino didn't appreciate that too much. So we went to some more manly stores. Like vans and pac sun...fun times...then some Dion's, which is always good. Poor mona always has to take back her salad. I think that if Dion's ever has economic trouble, it will probably be because of wasted salads. Ok maybe not so much...then later went to twilight on a date with tiara, but turns out the entire church is there. Still don't quite understand what all the hype is about with that series...i'm just not really into falling in love with vampires i guess:) Haha. It's pretty ridiculous that i am sitting in class writing this. Oh well, nothing better to do...i can't wait to go to pop pops now that It's open for the season. I'm so stoked about that:) alright, i guess I'll pay attention to schooling now. GOD bless!

.....

so we have been sitting in joshua's room for about 2 hours now, just talking about doing things.  never actually doing anything.  just talking about it.  every few minutes we decide we are going to get out of this wretched, frigid room.  however that has yet to happen.  perhaps by monday morning we'll finally be doing something.  but not by free will, by force because there is school.  

monique is losing tetris.  joshua is sitting on his bed being spiritual:)  sierra is barking and growling. i lost tetris.  attempted to play hippie mine sweeper.  and am now resorting to blogging.  what is this world coming to?

last night

was good.  it involved:  some guitar hero, music listening, prayer, talking, wendy's, tea, some more talking....  i love friday nights.  they are just so relaxing and chill!  it just lets me take time to debrief from the week (to put it in military terms).

it is such a blessing to be able to spend time in fellowship and prayer.  to think that we have the freedom to do that...why do we not take advantage of it more often?  every moment of our lives should be spent in prayer.  just talking to God always.  it's so amazing that i can have that relationship with the creator of the universe!  how He loves us!  it just amazes me...

flying star

is a good place to spend your tuesday nights.  chillin' at my computer.  listening to podcasts.  sittin' with ash and tiara.  drinking peppermint tea.  looking at the mural on the wall.  good times let me tell ya.  

Sunday!

Yesterday was possibly one of the most chill days of my life. that is definitely a good thing! it started out with some coffee and 7th heaven with my parents. kinda funny that we watch that show together...then i was doing some stuff on facebook and my e-mail....then my computer decides to die and not turn back on (the most un-chill part of my day) so my dad and i went to starbucks and drank a london fog (which, by the way, is not very good at all compared to satellite's version) while we were at starbucks we looked in the sunday ads for computer sales. the best deal just happened to be at staples, right next door. so we went to check it out. pretty nice i must say. about four times better than my laptop that just died. and the sad part is that it was only four years old...

then home once again. then monique kidnapped me once again. that seems to be a trend around these parts. then some converse (chuck taylor) shopping at shoes on a shoe string. time #1 running into miss katie reiman. then to the park to read our Bibles, but it was to cold and windy, so we walked around it and came back home.

then facebooking on my brothers working computer at home. then the beginnings of a chick flick. then brandino arrives. so we turn the chick flick off. our day had been girly enough already. some youtube watching. ridiculous conversations....and the hobbs sisters plus keneth arrive. i attempt to make my own version of a london fog. which is completely disgusting. and no one refrains from telling me it...

so we go to satellite on a covert operation. our mission: to find the secret to the perfect london fog. just ended up blatently asking them how they did it. but, surprisingly, they told us how they do it. so now we have to try it!! i'm pretty stoked. time #2 running into miss katie reiman

but now back to the chill day...we came home. shared the secret with my mom so that at least one of us would remember when we tried to make it. let my mom taste a real london fog. after which she reassured me that mine was completely gross...then a worship night down stairs. not to mention the beautiful fire my dad started in our fire place. then the fire died and we had to resort to the use of a black light. which was kinda ridiculous if you ask me....lol. then some prayer. then everyone went to their appropriate houses.

and that is the end of my ridiculously chill, do nothing day. yeah, it was alot of writing....but as you will recall, nothing really happened. so the end.

hiking take 2

hiking is possibly one of the best inventions ever. and today, that is exactly what we did.

so, off we go to the heights. hiking our way up to sketch rock. possibly dying from falling off. sitting on top of the world. chilling reading the Bible. just so happen to open up to Psalm 18. the chapter about how G-d is our rock and our salvation. how ironic! i'm chillin' on top of a rock, reading about how the Lord is our rock. might i mention listening to some fabulous phil wickham, and tenth avenue north, and underoath (some will seek forgiveness, others escape). life is just plain amazing at this point.

then a clan of little kids come. all just running amuck around. pretty amusing to watch i must say. then monique and i almost die climbing down, trying to avoid those kids (okay, maybe not so much).

then running down the trail, pretending like we're flying, just cause we can. then running up a huge, steep concrete drainage thing. hardcore dancing without music. yelling, because the echo sounds cool. going back down. grabbing my musical phone and running back up, almost dying from exhaustion. some more hardcore dancing to the killers. just about as indie as it gets. then back down to end our beautiful hiking adventure.

the end
