    Three: The number of times I clicked on your name, got to your page and thought "that's not who I was looking for!" Wow, I'm not very common-sense smart.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31

I love my dog!

Tonight I walked in from the garage to find trash everywhere in the kitchen. I looked across the room to a rug by the backyard door and there wass my dog lying there with a look on her face like she knew what she did. Apparently she busted out of her kennel while we were gone. She didn't move a muscle while we inspected the house to make sure she didn't leave us any surprises! It made me laugh how guilty she looked! Luckily she didn't mess with anything other than the trash. Needless to say we will be checking the lock on her kennel before we leave her again!
  • iloveponds
    Awww...she is such a sweet dog, even when she's in trouble.

  • carolina_sue
    At least she was considerate enough to confine her messiness to the kitchen! Such a thoughtful dog you have!

    do you think dogs have a conscience or they're just afraid to get a beating?
    by adampual at 07/19/07 10:59AM
  • mirrorjranch
    My dogs keep running in the back door and attacking our trash can. Blech.

So much has happened since my last entry. I feel like I haven't been home in weeks! Here's an update!

This past weekend my family and I went to Baytown to visit family and drop my sister off for a few days. We also went to an Astros game. I LOVE Minute Maid Park. It is the most awesome place to go! The Astros won and my favorite, Hunter Pence, was amazing!

Then, my parents and I went to Aggieland for registration and my New Student Conference. WOW- it is crazy to think that I am officially a student at A&M now. I have my classes all picked out, my ID, and most importantly my sports pass. All I am waiting for now is housing info, which should come at the beginning of July. I met some awesome people and even re-connected with my best friend from elementary school.

This summer is going by so quickly. The fall semester is going to quickly creep up on me I think. I am enjoying all I can about summer though!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
  • mladyman
    We've missed seeing you at Northwest, but are SO glad you are having a great time! So, how many Aggie t-shirts did you buy? Caps? Foam fingers?

good memories

I just got back from our annual Aggie Reunion. It was so good to see old friends and people that are like my family. It was especially good to see them come all the way from South Carolina! We stayed in these two houses out in the country in New Ulm, Texas. They are so adorable and being surrounded in God's beauty with brothers and sisters in Christ is truly wonderful.

Cute house!

    I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.
