girl finally.

so i am a brand spankin new north carolinian.

here's the deal:
we came for a wk long vacation to nc and instead of heading back home w/the rest of mi familia, my parents decide to just leave me here. yes, it was on purpose! however, i have no clue as to what changed my dad's mind. but that's just the way God rolls.
anywho......
its a bittersweet feeling i have right now. i'm ecstatic to be here! but i am missing my fam/friends and a little stressed w/how quickly it happend. but it hasn't even been a week yet, so i've still got (Lw) plenty of time to settle in.
.........
outside of that deal nothing much else new. same hair style, same eye color, same singleness. ITS ALL GOOD.
........
SMILE.

:o)

motivation

where does your motivation come from?

mine is definatly from music. i can usually get enough energy to do just abt anything if i listen to the right song. singing is also the best part of worship service for me. anywho, lately i've been lacking in the motivation area. i've been praying abt it b/c i've really let myself go. i haven't been running, practicing, or trying new things. idk its kinda lame but maybe i just need a new way to get motivated. or maybe new songs.

other than that, things are going well. especially w/baby sophia! that little girl has the whole family wrapped around her chubby finger. :o)
  • dreamingofguitars
    Dude!!!! i totally agree with the music thing!!!!!!!!!! both from Guitar and Piano !!!!! then just getting together with friends and singing like a quartet!
    by dreamingofguitars at 10/08/07 10:59PM
  • megs
    i know what you mean about the geting motivated part. i feel like i just have so much stuff on my plate that things like working out and reading my Bible daily seem to get pushed out of the picture. i hate it so much. i'll make a deal with you, i'll pray for your motivation if you'll pay for me. :)
    by megs at 10/08/07 11:16PM
  • karalee
    meg said "if you'll pay for me" hahahha that made me laugh, Josie, i mis you so much, i have the willow tree thing hangin in my dorm room and then i have those three pictures of us all in this picture thing that meg gave me. :)
    by karalee at 10/09/07 1:35AM
  • dorkhistory101
    yeah I love music and it does get me going but sometimes its just knowing I need to do it nags at me till I cna't stand it anymore then I finally do it. Baby Sophia is too cute and she should have everyone wrapped around her cubby fingers! I miss you!!!
    by dorkhistory101 at 10/09/07 7:39AM
  • megs
    ahaha, i did say pay for me! thats funny. i'm glad you knew what i really meant and didn't think i was cheap. :)
    by megs at 10/09/07 5:30PM
  • karalee
    Im LOVING fc! SOOO MUCH. me and michael still talk and stuff, but we're not like "together" but we plan on hanging out and stuff. Hows everything with you!?

  • karalee
    yea, its the same weekend, but i dont even know if we're keeping anyone in our room, sooo yeah, but no ones drivin up for it so theres no way of my gettin there, cause im comin home for fall break, and my moms here now, so yeah...Im excited for you and your job! Are you comin to NC for Thanksgving?
    by karalee at 10/12/07 1:12PM
  • jenlew21
    Just take a breather. It all goes in cycles...at least for me it does. ;) I LOVE music!!! It does the same thing for me too!! It makes such a HUGE` difference when your worshipping with others who are singing from their hearts and really into it-meaning it-compared to *blah* singing-where it's hard to even keep the song going. I think services aren't only meant for honoring God but to also uplift us and make us stronger. A balance between the two. Ya know? :)
    by jenlew21 at 10/18/07 3:48PM
  • nutmeg
    Sooo, I just thought about you writing get excited about spoons in my church notebook. That makes me laugh! Just thought I'd share that with you...

  • themouse
    My motivation comes from the love of my life...goofy as he is.
    by themouse at 11/10/07 2:51PM
  • nutmeg
    Hey, I'll probably talk to you about this if your still at the apt when I get back from school but I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to Fuquay-Varina (near Raliegh) for a teen meeting thing this wkend. Kind of like the one you went to in Tennessee. I think Dan might be going too, maybe Tricia - I'm not sure. I thought I'd see if any of the other teenagers from church wanted to go too. Just let me know if your interested...Love you!
    by nutmeg at 11/12/07 12:46PM
  • excalibur
    My motivation use to come from music as well but it shifted to to personal life and I must say I has been an incredible move. When I'm in a position like you, I ususally try anything and everything and go anywhere. keep them options open!
    by excalibur at 11/13/07 6:19AM
  • nutmeg
    So, I don't know what happened to your phone while we were talking and I was talking to my best friend form high school when you called back. Sorry!!! I gotta go study for a test. But I

    Oh Josie, I meant to tell you yesterday when I was talking to you - At the football game on Monday night, the dance tema did this little jig before the game started and it was like 3 or 4 gangster songs put together into one and one of the songs was "Tat it up"!!! I was laughing the whole time. It made me think about you, I love you a bunch! Hope you have an excellent day today!!! :)))
    by nutmeg at 09/20/07 11:02AM
  • nutmeg
    I know you love it. Everytime I call you I think about yo uhearing Tat, tat, tat it up and you dancing and singing along to it...b/c I know you do...everytime! hahaha
