Sorry for the long hiatus, everyone, I have let myself get way too busy with school! Nothing too eventful has been going on, however. I've been chugging along through my coursework (I think I can, I think I can...), doing some pleasure reading, and spending the free time that I have with someone special.
I've also had the wonderful opportunity to help Ms. Becky with the Bible class for 2-year-olds. It is such a blessing to be able to learn from someone as experienced and knowledgeable as her and to finally spend some time with children.
I hope that you are all doing well and growing in the Lord. I love you all and miss each and every one of your encouraging faces! :)

Hey, Allyson, no prob. I'm busy with school as well. Guess what... you're the winner my 900th comment :). Congratulations.

Miss you mucho! Do you know your fall schedule yet?

by spacehobbit at 07/07/07 11:35PM
Hey, Allyson, wall hanging sounds nice. So, I just though - I might ought to get a tool kit for the apartment. Just basic fixing / picture hanging stuff.

by celticgirl1787 at 07/14/07 11:38AM
Haha, a toolkit in the hands of Amanda is a scarey thought. :)

by kati at 07/17/07 2:07PM
hey you. guess who.

by chooselove at 07/17/07 4:37PM
Yes, my poor widdle bio-major. ;) Physics w/o calc should be fun. Do you know who the professor is yet? Let me know if you need any help. When is the class? Yes, I am still gazing at the stars. :) I am having a good time. I have a lot of work to do and not enough willing brain cells to do it. But I'll get through. :)

Home again, home again, jiggity jig

at 05/09/07 8:48AM

Freedom! Well...for a little while. ;) Since being home I have done some relatively effective relaxing, going so far as to avoid Facebook and pleonast. Alas, my lack of days and evenings spent with all of you lovely people has driven me back here. Never before have I missed a place or a group of people as much as I miss Florida College and its inhabitants (as well as those who frequently haunt it; love you, Melissa)! Last night I attended a band/orchestra concert at my high school and found that I do not miss that place at all. The relationships that were formed there (barring one in particular) were shallow ones, feeling more like an exchange between colleagues rather than true friendship. Even the less-close friendships at FC were deeper than the ones made in high school. I truly appreciate and love all of you, my friends. :)

The short break that I have between last semester's classes and my sixteen delightful hours that will begin next week is much needed. So far I have gotten some sleep (woohoo!), read for fun a bit, and watched Disney movies and Animal Planet. Yesterday, however, I skipped out on the relaxation and helped my grandfather finish up his packing. I packed up many good memories into those boxes and I will miss them greatly. And yet I have a hope that there will be many new, wonderful memories in the future not to replace, but to accompany these older ones.

I know that a good number of aforementioned memories will be made next year in the apartment that I will get to share with five lovely young ladies. I am so excited! It's going to be absolutely crazy with the six of our unique personalities packed into a three-bedroom flat. Still, I am sure that I will love every moment of it and I am looking forward to learning from each of my house-mates. :) Did I mention that we will also be joined by at least one furry friend (no, we're not inviting Phillip to live with us)? I am now pleased to introduce to you Satin, or more formally, Silver Satin Doll:

I hope that you are all having a loverly summer so far and that it continues to be filled with the greatest blessings! Tootles!

Have fun this summer, Before you know it the gang will all be back together again!

by jjorangeswirl at 05/09/07 10:27AM
Ah, Allyson!! Satin is gorgeous. Don't work too hard on school this summer... leave a little extra space for r&r.

by celticgirl1787 at 05/09/07 10:43AM
Thanks Allyson, it's good to hear from you. Hope your summer goes well!

by waynardferguson at 05/09/07 10:50AM
I miss you girly!

by rosemarie at 05/09/07 11:14AM
Aww... Satin is so cute! I'm glad you'll be around this summer too! Do you want to do something together this weekend?

by yellowsubmarina at 05/09/07 1:23PM
she's pretty!

by sonya05 at 05/09/07 4:38PM
I'm glad your summer is off to such a good start! I agree whole-heartedly about friendships at FC. I'm so excited about our apartment, too! And Satin is lovely. It's going to be an adventure with the 7, possibly 8 of us all living together. ;)

by kati at 05/09/07 4:57PM
Yes, I have finally been dragged, kicking and screaming onto Pleo. Love it. I'm glad you've gotten time to get some rest (doesn't it feel good!) and hang out with your family. You're definitely right about the relationships at FC; I haven't contacted anyone at my highschool since I left, and they don't seem to be worrying too much about me either. I'm really going to miss seeing your beautiful face around campus next semester, but I'll be happy to see you in class. Love ya:)

by lightbringer at 05/10/07 10:29AM
Oh cool, how long did you live in TX?

by kati at 05/10/07 3:09PM
It is amazing the relationship that is formed through Christ. Great to hear from you.

by specter at 05/11/07 9:09PM
Ahh, Allyson. You are incredible. I love you so much. You are deffinately going to have to visit the dorms next year. I love you so much!

by heidiw at 05/12/07 3:04PM

Pretty dog!

by hollygrace at 05/26/07 4:43PM
thank you for my letter!

Hola Allyson. Hope your summer is going well. I hope biology is on your mind...or biophily...the love of life!

by slave_of_jesus_jdb at 06/10/07 2:18PM
Hey Allyson! Sonya said she told you about our new puppy! I hope y'all will love him as much as we do! He's so sweet and cute and perfect. Anyway I'm gushing, so I hope your summer is going great! Are you still doing the catering thing? :)

I've just realized that my life could be one of those really awful teen movies. Not awful as in ostentatiously sinful, but awful as in cheesy and dramatic.

And, no, I will not elaborate.

I now leave you to ponder the words of Walt Whitman.

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

I've thought that before but it seems to just keep gettign worse so I'm starting to think it's more like Shakespeare! ;)

by rosemarie at 04/11/07 11:51PM
Well sometimes those are the funnest movies to watch! :) Thanks for your sweet comments, it is certainly amazing how much we are able to encourage one another. Happy early birthday!

by kati at 04/13/07 10:22AM
I love Walt Whitman! You are an amazing girl. I will miss you so over the summer!

by kellyshelly at 04/13/07 12:18PM
How thoughtful and contemplative you are. I really appreciate the way that you think and the way you treat others. I love you so much!

by heidiw at 04/16/07 5:20PM
I am going to make an attempt to say what Walt Whitman was trying to say. It is good to gat away from the things that we study and go out in the world to expereince and appreciate what is out there. I can also sympathize with the Teen Drama thing some...

by specter at 04/18/07 1:42AM
Hi Allyson. Its Josh Brainard. Nice poem.

by slave_of_jesus_jdb at 04/19/07 10:57PM
Sounds like me at times...well I was mainly meaning Whitman, but I can go with the cheesy and dramatic as well. :D

by spacehobbit at 05/08/07 11:38AM
hey! I think i'll just email you!

by sonya05 at 05/08/07 9:16PM
Ah, Allyson. You're sweeter than aspartame, and you don't even cause brain cancer (flattered?).

Here are some of the pictures from banquet week that I promised you all. Jared has some posted on his blog, as well. The rest of mine can be found in a loverly gallery here.

Heidi looked so lovely and played so beautifully; I want to hear her more often! :)

Well, I hope that everyone enjoyed their evening as much as I did. We're getting close to the end of the semester! I'm ready to be done with these classes, but I'm definitely not ready to leave. :(

Great pics!

Banquet week was absolutely amazing. Photos of the various events are currently available on Facebook; I will work on getting them up elsewhere so that those without a Stalker account can see them too. ;)

I love you all and I feel so blessed to be a part of your lives. I mean that about each and every one of you. Goodnight, my lovelies!

stalker account. Nice!

by robertthehun at 04/08/07 10:20PM
