Some friendships were just meant to be...

For those of you on Facebook, you've probably already seen this. But I thought it was worth posting both places because it's pretty much amazing.

I Gotta Keep Singing

Another rainy day

I can't recall having sunshine on my face

All I feel is pain

All I wanna do is walk out of this place

But when I am stuck and I can't move

When I don't know what I should do

When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing

I gotta keep praising Your name

Your the one that's keeping my heart beating

I gotta keep singing

I gotta keep praising Your name

That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap

I don't wanna leave

Jesus sing over me

I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need

And I gotta keep singing

-Mercy Me

Senior Retreat!

A Few Highlights:

• A really great conversation with Megan while we cripples sat out from the ropes course
• Talking to Brenton (our speaker) about Perth, in my opinion the second coolest place on earth (next to New Zealand!).
• Campfire time!
• Star gazing with the girls in the middle of the road.
• Listening to Brenton re write the words to "Since U Been Gone"
• Candles in the Pancakes!
• Meeting with God and having Him remind me what this year is all about!
  

So this is what makes life Divine

Prayer Request

Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask you who read this to please pray for my cousin, Luke. He was just recently in a very serious 4-wheeler accident and it wasnt sure that he was going to live. His slpeen was burst, a kidney failed, his lungs were filled with mucus and he couldnt breathe on his own. A few days ago he finally woke up from his coma and had no idea what happened. Now he is finally off the ventilator, but he cant sit up or stand and things are still not great but they think he will live! praise God! anyway, if ya'll wouldnt mind praying for him... thank you so much.

Summer Movie Reviews...so far...

Not that my opinion really matters, but I decided to dedicate a post to what I thought about the movies I have seen so far this summer...

The Break-Up- I really enjoyed this movie, but I know a lot of people didn't. I found it to be very funny and I thought Jennifer Anniston did a great job and Vince Vaughn was hilarious. I really didn't like the ending though, but I guess I'm someone who wants all the loose ends tied up and gets frustrated when endings are left open. Other than that I thought it was an overall humorous movie and pretty entertaining.

The Lakehouse- Sooo sweet! I liked how clean and cute this movie was and Sandra Bullock has always been one of my favorite actresses. (Any While You Were Sleeping fans out there?) Haha, I got a little confused trying to keep up with the time distance thing, but after you get it it's a very cute romance that the guys will put up with because they have to explain the time thing to their not-so-quick girlfriends! A very good chick flick.

Superman- Ummm...well... I enjoyed it but it really wasn't what I was expecting. Smallville fans beware, it won't satisfy the need for character development. I'm used to Clark being the focus and Superman being the job on the side, so it was hard to reverse into Clark being almost obsolete. Make sure you rent 1 and 2 before watching this one because I had seen them years ago and had forgotten how some things were left that make quite a difference in understanding Superman Returns. But, the special effects were very impressive and there is certainly no lack of action and world saving and infuriating almost romantic scenes with Lois.

The Devil Wears Prada- I loved this movie! Meryl Streep is amazingly evil and Anne Hathaway did a very good job as well. If you happen to be interested in fashion like me, all the better. This movie was just very well done and very sophisticated. I couldn't call it cute or sweet or action packed or anything... it's just very very good. Although, I thought it was rather cruel to make comments such as "6 being the new 14" or calling Anne Hathaway the "smart fat girl." lol. It's funny and yet realistic and even sad in some parts. So if you've seen the previews and thought it looked pretty interesting, it is. I highly reccomend it.

Pirates of the Carribean 2- Wow... it was amazing. At first it takes a rather lighthearted turn with crazy adventures and lots of sword fighting. But in the end it becomes the incredible adventure worthy of being the sequel to the first one. Any Orlando Bloom fans? You will be rather impressed with his performance as quite the hero of this movie. He is nothing like the boring Will Turner featured previously but he's still a bit naive and completely love struck with the bold Elizabeth. It was everything to be expected and more and the third one will be highly anticipated.

Whoop!

So earlier this week Danielle and I made a trip up to A&M to experience campus life... as an honors student. Yes, we're nerds I know but it was amazingly fun and got me so excited about college! I can't believe I have another year of high school before I can get there. ugghhhh. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the eventful 3 days.

Future roomies! (I promise, we're a lot more excited than we look, just tired)

Kyle Field! We had a yell practice and it was quite entertaining

Ya, there's not a significant point of this picture, I just thought it looked cool.

We attended lectures, ate campus food, stayed in dorms and I got to visit the yearbook room! And best of all, the people were awesome. I envy you aggies who start in the fall!
