tune my heart
"I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.'" Psalm 16:2
This week I learned a freaking lot. This whole facebook project is alot bigger than I expected... and God always is.
He's just the best.
um war eagle to that!
meet my family.
today, while not on facebook, I did way too much,
The day began with a very early 8 o’clock class and then a long day on the concourse supporting Victoria, and a skipped Auburn experience class. After a while on the concourse I was lucky enough to see my dear friend, mark price walking out of class.
Meet mark.
Mark is 19 years old, he enjoys rave dancing, and otter youtube videos. His special skills are unicycling, singing, and making jokes. He has considered being a model for Patagonia, but His life goal is to be on the amazing race.
Well mark and I made plans to surprise Melanie price at her 20th birthday party at chewacla. So we went to walmart to get her a present. We bought her some 3-d chalk and half price Halloween candy and then made our way out to chewacla. We didn’t have any gift wrapping, so I found a shaker in mark’s car and tied pieces of the shaker on the presents to make them appear as they had been not last minute. We arrived at chewacla, but didn’t want to call and ask where she was, because we were suprising her, so we walked around chewacla, which is a national state park, so don’t be confused by its size. We walked down to the waterfall, accidently walked up on two people getting freaky on a rock, it was awkward, but still couldn’t find Melanie. So we decide just to call her, and turns out she wasn’t there. It was too cold. So we wandered around chewacla for awhile longer, getting the most out of the 2 dollars it cost to get it, we made plans to go skydiving when I turn 19 and to win the amazing race when we turn 21.
We left chewacla and headed back to campus, and I went to see Melanie to give her her presents.
Meet Melanie.
Melanie is now 20 years old. She enjoys building forts and eating fried chicken. Her special skills include climbing trees, and being hilarious. For her birthday we gave Melanie 3D chalk and I have never seen anyone so excited.
after playing with melanie for a very very long time, I went to dinner with girlR, and then to the ruf barn dance! claire bear was my dance partner and we rocked it. I just love her to death. we then proceeded to waffle house and had just an average time. oh did I mention that I love cody nall to death??
overall it was a fantastic day.
yes, this is my family.

Happiest of seasons now is here.
Many are the reasons for good cheer.

So, hear us rejoicing

OY!
So, hear us rejoicing
and merrily voicing
this Hannukah song that we sing!
51 Days 'til Christmas,
GirlR
I haven't listened to any of the new Taylor Swift yet.
Moving on to good music, the song/video posted immediately below is!
Winter Song (Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles)
10 Reasons that Rosemary Jager likes this (I feel no need to discuss the obvious in the following list):
1. I love Christmas, and Christmas is in the wintertime.
2. I love Ingrid Michaelson.
3. I love Sara Bareilles.
4. I love their cartoon selves.
5. I love tree houses, and one happens to be at the happily ever after ending of this sad song's video.
6. I love happily ever afters.
7. I love violins and pianos, and even more than that harmonies, and what do ya know-- they are all in this song.
8. I love good lyrics.
9. I love the cute art that makes up this video.
10. I just love it because how could you freakin not???
Last winter, I had the priveledge of singing this song with two of my sisters in my high school's winter musical revue. It made the song more special than it already is to me. (*Insert side-comment of seconding GirlK's motion to miss and return to the wonderfulness of Birmingham.) I just think the song is all around beautiful, and I want all of our now 16 followers (I think) to know about it if they don't already.
I have to study for my Intro. to Psych. exam #3, but before I go, I would like to point out something I find funny...
If you look back a few posts, you will find GirlK quoting her good ole' softball coach--OH, annd great mentour, Byrle Kynerd... FYI: BYRLE KYNERD STARTED BRIARWOOD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. He's kind of a big deal... I found it incredibly comical that GirlK only recognized him as a great softball coach and mentour-- which he definitely is... but he also STARTED BRIARWOOD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. Again, big deal.
Well, wish me luck studying. And a prayer or two would be appreciated. :)
Love is alive,
GirlR
