Thanksgiving Holiday Resolution: Try to keep up with Pleonast. Sorry everyone that has wanted my name to be glowing on their friend's list.

I just finished a Calc 2 test dealing with infinite series...please sympathize if you can!

After that test and two papers, this week, my Thanksgiving Break has started...too bad for double cuts here at F.C.

This semester has been more than I could ever dream. So many memories. This has been the fastest week of the year. Seems that just yesterday we had the Banquet. Speaking of banquet, (nice segway), it was a lot of fun with Molly T. Compared to other banquets, the SBGA absolutely rocked the banquet.

Can you believe the Razorbacks? What an amazing year! I wouldn't trade the feeling that I have in my heart for the Hogs for a stack of jerseys this tall (really tall). I love owning the state of Alabama and Tennessee. Feels nice. Amazing year=the Cards winning the Series and the Hogs finishing the season with just one loss.

The Format are amazing. They put on a good show!
Favorite Songs as of 11/17/06:
First Single-The Format
Stop This Train-John Mayer
Heaven- John Legend

Well, I better go...Chapel Fridays!

Love and Miss Everyone!
Pray w/o ceasing!
Rejoice Always!

Things that I LOVE and thankful for...

The feeling right before a thunderstorm
The smell of hay just cut
Summer Nights
Fresh Cut yards
Walking with barefeet
Cinnamon Rolls
Singing Hymns at Thanksgiving with family...and every part in harmony is easily covered
My Family
My God
My Mom
Sister Hazel
The burn in your chest while running in the cold
Fishing at Cove Creek
Grace
The smell of babies right after they take a bath
Singings at Hwy.65
Hanging out with people from church
Salvation
Redemption
St. Louis
FC Summer Camps
Suite 6 guys
Psi Beta
Dr. Buddy Payne
Dr. Crispell
Fresh Laundry
Ukeleles...i did not spell that right
Free Concerts and Concerts
Wrestling with my dad
Classic Rock
Aggies
Bruce Reeve's Bible Classes
Singing in my car loudly with the windows down
Thinking about old times at 65
The smell of a baseball field

Random I know....but I just was thinking about all the blessings I have in this life, and how much better it will be to come:

"For the Lord himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD ." Think about that for a while. I cannot comprehend that thought.

    by austumpy01 at 11/14/06 9:35AM

It was awesome baby!

Right now I'm in a St.Louis hotel fixing to get ready to go to a Cards game. I'm so excited about going to the new stadium.

We saw SISTER HAZEL last night. They were so awesome again. Of course it was free under the Arch and we were really close to the front of the stage. Later after the concert, I got the lead singer's autograph on my wallet. Then like two hours after we had eaten, I saw another one of their bandmembers walking around in STL. It was pretty awesome. I also got to see some really awesome people this weekend from school. Only one more month!

Well, I've got to get ready for the game!

You Should Try a Pop-R

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I would like at least 100. Please post what first comes to your mind from the picture.



My summer just a got a pick-me-up!

Happy Is A Yuppie Word

The Switchfoot conert, to put it into their words, IT WAS AWESOME BABY!

My bro and I went to the concert tonight. It was an amazing night. Even though there were rednecks pushing everyone, and people miserably trying to crowd surf, it was one of the best concerts I've been to.

Here's a couple pics!

We were sort of close
