Today has proved to be an interesting day! I got up realitively late, about a quarter after 7 and when you need to take a shower and all that jazz before leaving at about 7:30.. doesn't work so well.. So needless to say I didn't get time to make a lunch? And well shaving went out the window because I mean who am I trying to impress.. know what I am saying!? The GF is already up north and well.. I am just going to let myself go for a few days! :) Then I get to work only to know that we had a huge thunderstorm.. in which we lost power... and now have had a quick lunch.. and will be heading back to work for a few more hours! But it is only thursday.. I want at least Friday if not early Saturday! :) Oh well life flies as it is.. so well.. I guess I will just make due! Life is great though..
Yesterday didn't consist of too much.. Watched a movie.. talked with Em.. spent some time with her.. and then called it good cuz she left early this morning.. well probably not all that early.. but you know what I am saying! :) Hang on cuz Friday is on the way and the weekend and holiday is near!

Hottie!
Check it out! I found this picture and couldn't resist! :) And guess who's GF she is! Okay so I guess I don't have to tell you.. but MINE!
Woman vs. MEN
Whew... It is smoking outside especiall when you decide to wear a long sleeve and some heavy jeans.. Girls are kinda lucky cuz they can get away with skirts, and sleevless shirts.. and such.. it seems like they would be more "equipped" or "adapted" for this hot weather.. However they do get the shaft when it comes to hair.. cuz I think the long hair has got to be a factor.. when figuring the heat index of a person of either gender... But I guess dressing modest maybe harder for woman than men.. what do you think? But when you go the beach guys get to take their shirts off.. but we still have to wear shorts.. so I would argue that most likely that the guys have more material on their shorts than girls would on their whole entire suit?? So what does that mean? Well all of this only to get the point across that it is blazing outside like today's hottest music! Right.. right!
I am kinda sore today so I am not sure what ramifications that may have today! But can't wait to find out... I am sweating after a wonderfully informing lunch with my E! SHE IS GREAT! :o)

3 months!
So... yesterday nothing to crazy? Just a nice little bike ride.. and some "enjoyable conversation." Sometimes life gets kind of tough you know? And many of times... can be more complicated than anticipated.. I think that I have found one of the most challenging things for me to do.. which is verbalize things.. Sometimes.. it is easier than others.. but I want to be so honest and upfront that it is hard... However I have learned so much in my experiences.. It is okay not to know.. but I need to let it be known that I don't know?
The last three months have been amazing! I look back and can only smile.. thinking of the numerous sunsets watched, the countless hours of just "being" (needless to say I think that we have got this down!), the many laughs both at and with one another, lots of dishes washed, movies watched, conversations had, family met, smiles smiled, hands held, encouragement given/recieved, surprises had, birthdays included, messes made, food eaten, ice cream devoured, signs of digestion (heard and occasionally smelled), feet soaked, hands squirt, stalker issues, eyes gazed, faces examined, armpits caressed, grumpiness, words of affirmation often, candles lit, Burts bees.., couches bought, gum chewed, fires built, kayaked, canoed in "rough" water, and many many more! But all this only leads back to one thing.. and she knows who I am talking about!

Tongues
"26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
- James 1:26-27
I like these few verses.. I think that so often we do not realize the true power of our tongue! It can hurt and cut deep in just a few syllables.. we can encourage with a few letters arranged into a few friendly words.. or we can make someone we truly care about cry in a matter of seconds... In God's word he shows us that we can do everything perfect and yet if we have a loose tongue and are not careful of what we say.. all that we have done is voided.. our religion is worthless the scripture says! Worthless I think has such a heavy and specific meaning.. I mean when I think of being worthless.. it is so degrading and depressing.. to know that you are nothing.. don't count.. lack worth... However I know that our tongue not only has the potential of being bad.. but it has an even greater potential of being a wonderful and magnificent tool! In more ways than one.. ;) God calls us to control our tongue and be able to use this tool most efficiently! I am just as guilty as the next person, but think before you talk and use your tongue wisely...
That was really my point in writing these couple verses in here.. but I had to put in the second verse as well because I find it extremely interesting how "true religion" is defined... so give it a thought.. and see how you feel about it! :)

Back at it
Why do you not knowningly do things you don't really want to do? Ever thought about "things" or asked a question repeatedly when knowing the answer before even asking.. Or you say what right after someone says something even when you did hear what that person said? Why do we do such things? Is it human nature or our each individual personalities that consumes us with worry or guilt or sadness.. or any other emotions or feelings that cause a reaction in which we really don't understand? These questions, sayings, ect. can become something as to a bad habit.. Another familar yet complicated emotion for me is doubt? I don't understand why I must doubt myself.. or others.. whether it be feelings or actions.. Doubt myself on whether or not I did lock the door... turn of the stove.. but my homework in my bookbag..? Why? Hmm.. Well I wish that I knew? But I don't...
Lunchy lunch lunch... Not much of a lunch today just a little food.. PB&J, cookie, and some chips... but yet there has been plenty of food for thought!? Hmm.. interesting stuff you know.. So what will be next? I kind of have a headache today and just have this strange feeling.. like just wierd.. I don't know?? I am sure I will be fine.. just need to get a little eats in me...
Either way I thought that blogging was appropriate... well this weekend was still great! This was the first weekend that I stayed around the arbor! So it was kind of nice just to be lazy and not have to be crazy busy.. Ran a race on Saturday a 5K in 21:33 minutes or something like that 62th place out of 252 or so! Nothing like the "Concord Classic" I hadn't raced since high school.. so it was kinda crazy getting back into it.. Then Sunday I went to church and got to listen to Chuck White preach which was enjoyable.. Sunday after church consisted of helping.. and when I say helping I pretty much made the toast... but Em and I made lunch for Jamey.. We had a breakfast skeme if you will! And then a little lounging to finish out the weekend... And that brings me back to Monday in the registrars office making it through on this hot humid yet hazy day in Spring Arbor!
Well that in a nut shell is another smidget of my life..

Beach bums
When there is a beach near.. or a sun setting we will be there.. it is almost a given.. I just had to post another pic of my GF, cuz she is amazing woman and I love to show her off every chance that I get!
Roomie!
Hey Roomie!! You are missed and thought of often!! Live it up in Benton Harbor and hope to catch up with you again.. and looking forward to this coming school year! :) Hope that eyebrow is holding up for ya! Always in my prayers! :)
Hard knock Life
Life... why does it have to be so complicated and hard sometimes? Why do we as humans have to mess up and sin? Why do we continually have to hurt people either physically or emotionally or spiritually whether directly or indirectly? Keep secrets... lie... hurt.. pain.. cries!? Why do things get even more complicated with people whom you care deeply for! God is truly amazing for what he has done and can do and still will do! I know that I am loved and cared for.. but I regret the fact that those closest to me have to have and share in my burden and be hurt by me... The past is done and I cannot change it... but it is for sure still there and still hurting and it drives me crazy cuz I can't change it! I have an amazing GF and she continues to astound me daily! I trust in God cuz he knows what is suppose to happen! But doesn't change that I am scared?

Extraordinary Days
Have you ever just had a day that you know started off like a regular routine day... and really continued that way.. and it isn't until after the day is over and you look back and then realize that it was a regular routine day at all! It was a great and wonderful day.. a special, out of the norm day! I think it is great how you can turn some of life's daily tasks and make them special, different, and dare I say fun! Who would have thought a day of shopping, cooking, dish washing, cleaning, and dish washing.. did I already say dish washing.. oh well you must forgive me maybe I just remember dish washing the most vividly or something? But I heard that there is nothing like having a man behind the sink?? So I guess that is good I really don't know what that means.. but if it inferrs that I am a "catch" or something I am all for it!
Yesterday turned into trying on clothes.. and discussions on how much pudding.. and whether it was cool whip or cream cheese... if the shorts where too long or too short.. whether the chicken was cooked or not.. and many more interesting conversations.. but as the night continued I began to distinguish between things a lot less than when I started and maybe that is why they just kept me behind the sink?? But either way after about 15 pair of shorts they all began to look the same? And why do use the word "pair" when referring to shorts? I mean shorts are not like shoes in the fact that they have "two" parts.. sure shorts have two legs.. but that only makes one "short".. Pair of shorts.. How about these shorts? or How about this pair of shorts? Which is better I don't know?
Dirt cake is an interesting creation.. I think that it has many a recipes.. and well I think yesterday we added a recipe to the numerous ones for this desert... But it was fun doing so! Sometimes I think that I just get used for my brawns.. you know picking up heavy things... skmashing the oreos.. washing dishes.. breaking sticks.. carrying stuff.. breaking stuff over my head... Okay so maybe a litte exaggeration.. but you get the point.. but you know I have been working out.. Maybe people have just noticed that I have been getting "pumped" up! Well I really don't feel like I get used for my muscles.. and I am not really getting huge.. but I do work out occasionally! :)
God is really awesome! He knows what he is doing.. and he knows your situation.. and he is going to take care of it.. no need for anxiety.. worry.. and other worldly emotions.. God can truly lift things off of your shoulders and give you peace and provide answers and solutions to your problems according to His will! And he does! God listens.. God heals.. God loves.. God cares... Thanks God!

Hagar Sunset
Nothing like a sunset down the road from your house.. especially three days in a row! It maybe a little cool…but it was worth the sacrifice to experience the true beauty of a unique and individual sunset that God paints daily.. not to mention experiencing the true beauty of my GF daily! God has individually pieced her together to make the Emily that I know and enjoy often!

weekend goodness!
So another Monday! But hey I can't complain... the weather outside is beautiful! Sunny.. no humidity.. warm... Of course I am working.. but I guess I can deal with that! But this weekend was crazy busy... but sooo much fun! I went home Friday after work.. because this weekend my brother had his open house for graduation! SO a lot of family was around for that! Not to mention I had my marvelous girlfriend to showoff the entire weekend! Watching sunsets... hanging out with family and friends... I will try and post some pictures later when I get a hold of some.. but I can't even explain everything that happened or feelings that were felt.. I also had an interesting a quick trip to a tattoo and piercing place.. not for myself.. but none the less it was an interesting experinence.. and I was having so much fun.. that I actually didn't get back to Jackson until early this morning about 1:30ish! Geez.. sometimes you just don't want to leave... you know? Now it is such an amazing day outside that I am going to have to find something to do outside after work.. or something... I mean it would be a "perfect" day to have off of work, but I am not lucky enough to have it off.. ;) But I will make due! I definately didn't want to get out of bed this morning.. but you know what I had to.. and eventually did and here I a little more than halfway through my day! Which is definately a good thing because then I can have some fun!

Monday Minute
What can I even say?? Back in the good old arbor and a quick, yet long trip home.. Got back and got to see the wonderful gf.. as well as her mom you gotta love it… not to mention a good old soy taco.. Phantom of the Opera.. and a unexpected journey to Cascade Falls to see the “show”… All in all.. great night… then it was back to my house in Jackson… when I ran into my aunt and uncle.. who when grocery shopping and then I went to sleep a little after midnight… but I sleep really good last night and pretty hard too.. I think it is because my gf gave me a egg-carton foam thingy.. and it was quite comfortable.. She is always thinking!
Now it is a good old Monday but so far it hasn’t been bad and I don’t think I am going to mind this week.. hope the days go by fast.. and evening and night will go slower… So bring on the day!

FRiDaY!
Well today.. Is yet another day! But it is a Friday so that is awesome! So today has actually been going relatively quickly.. So that is good.. I think that I am going to go home this weekend, but I may not leave until Saturday though! I really don't have anything to exciting to blog about.. I have just been hanging out by myself for a few days.. a little television watching.. little exercise.. and definately falling asleep before I thought I was going to! Have you ever fallen asleep with the lights on, tv on.. and all that good stuff... and then you wake up in the morning and you are like?! what.. where am I? Well that is what happened to me last night.. woke up and the tv and lights were off.. and I was just waking up and well it was kind of crazy.. but I guess I needed the rest... and I think I am beginning to get used to sleeping on my couch.. because I definately did not have any problems like that last night! I really can't complain here.. The weather has been beautiful lately... and just being lazy for a couple of days.. especially after that intense class at Au Sable.. nice break! Umm I get to go back to work here in a few.. but I guess I will go for now.. but peace out and catch you later.. The weekend is near so never FeaR!

Emily
How can you not want to show off your girl?? Well I am sooo special.. and I am going to show her off every chance I get!! (mine is on the right for any of you who don't know) Emily Beth Starke.. the one and only.. I have gotten to know her so much this past year.. and yet I know that there is so much left to learn... She is amazing and continues to amaze me daily! Not to mention she likes me.. and all my goofiness.. and it is a good thing too.. because well that is who I am and will be.. and I know that she is more than okay with that! She has accepted me and made me apart of her life, and her a part of my life.. and I am truly blessed from it.. and thankful for it as well... Emily honestly knows me and I am comfortable around her and she is comfortable around me, but I think it was easier for her than me.. but hey I know that she has taken her chances as well.. and definately heard her fair share of "talk" and yet I am still her boyfriend.. Sometimes I can't do anything but to step back and look and reflect and see what a wonderful and marvelous woman I have as a girlfriend.. I see her walk in the distance and have to think to myself.. yep that is my girlfriend and it makes me smile everytime.. And yet this feeling only gets magnified when I get to sit with her and talk to her.. or to hang out with her and scratch the surface of understanding Em!? I know that I can only try my best and be myself.. but so far that is enough... I know that we do and will have our differences.. but that is what makes us that much better.. So well I don't care where you are from Texas to Maine.. to Europe or wherever.. but Emily is my girlfriend and I really don't care who knows it!
Registrar's review
Thursday.. Thursday.. Thursday.. hmmm.. another scorcher out there.. blazing like today's hottest music.. but I am inside in the air-conditioning...:) Unlike some of those people out there.. but I am sure that they will survive and I mean I don't have it to sleep...
Today nothing really to exciting has happened yet??? I did get up and come to work..and I just ate a pb&j sandwich some chips and an oatmeal cookie thingy... and still have a little time to enjoy my lunch break! I think that if I am going to be able to write at this time everyday then I should come up with a name for this blog time... maybe?? maybe not??
I wore pink today to work.. for a couple of reasons... one because my gf thinks it looks really good on me.. and I thought I would wear it in honor of missing her.. and another reason was because I heard pink is he new black.. and well yeah?! So I am thinking about running outside after work.. even though it is extremely hot I think that it would be fun! Well maybe not fun, but maybe fun? Oh well.. then I should water some plants.. chill a little bit and see if Marc is around? Cuz she is suppose to get back from Africa today.. and that is exciting! Thursday! So last night I slept better.. and pretty good too! I mean I went to bed about 12:30 and still woke up at 6:49.. right before my alarm went off... Perfect! Then I showered and hit the pavement to come back o work today, with a quick stop so that I could get some chips for my lunch!
This time right now in the growing season and all is so beauiful! When I left SAU it just didn't really have all of he foilage it does now.. and maybe it is because I just got done with taking a woody plants class but the first thing that I notice was that everything was just all leaved out... and full and just made the campus look so much prettier.. and the grass finally took and looks pretty good over by the clock tower in the court yard!! So far I have been here for about two and a half days and everything is just coming back to me.. kind of like riding your bike I suppose.. and I really don't think that I truly understand that saying.. I mean who forgets how to ride a bike?? And if you do forget how to ride a bike then do you really think that person is going to try and ride a bike again?? Oh well.. I am a little sore from working out a little yesterday?? But I am wierd and kinda like being sore.. however being sore would be a lot better if you had someone to give you a massage!? (of coarse I would return the favor) But nonetheless... little sore.. and am going to run today.. but good thing I really did't work out the legs yesterday... So I am not sure that this is the best time to write in the blog because nothing has happened for me to write in here about yet?? You know?? Well I guess if anything happens after I post this I can always write about it tomorrow... so I guess it does work out??.. except for when I want to start eating lunch with "someone." Guess I will cross that bridge when I get there... Well I suppose that I am off to return to my duties in being the "Registration and Records Assistant!" You know how it goes..

Lunch time in the Arbor..??
Geez.. so I am at lunch on the second day of the job... The job is fine.. and I am really enjoyed my turkey and cheese sandwich on like some 7 grain bread.. and my strawberries.. the strawberries were really good.. definately the highlight of my lunch... So I have an hour lunch break and really nothing to do... I have already eaten and well I still have a half an hour to go?? But I guess it will be good for me to escape and get out of the mindset of work nd as soon as I do that.. BAM back to work.. but oh well it does give me sometime to write in my blog! So yesterday was nice.. worked for about six hours... got to see my girl some!! And then it was off to move in to my uncles apartment.. which was kind of crazy and interesting.. but you know it is not bad at all so far... My work days have been going pretty quickly which I think are a good thing? Not sure what I am going to do after work today because well I am pretty much on my own for a couple of days? :( I thought about running but I ran a lot on Monday and kind of need to rest a little.. so maybe I will workout some?? Ya it has been awhile since I have worked out and really don't know how that will go? But might as well use the facilities that are available to me right?
Slept on a couch last night.. which was fun but interesting at the same time.... I mean I didn't really sleep all that great but I don't think it was because I wasn't comfortable.. but I think that I was worried about my alarm going off and waking up my uncle and aunt and I didn't want to wake them because they have already been so nice to me. So needless to say I woke up several times.. but it is all good I am not that tired yet?? And I woke up before my alarm went off! Then I had a grand old time backing out of where I parked last night after getting lost in Jackson?? Hmm.. oh well it was all worth it... And now it is Wednesday.. and early afternoon.. and I say bring on the day.. It is smoking outside too.. I thought it was suppose to rain today but I don't really think that is going to happen maybe tonight... I also will probably end up water my girlfriends plants.. Then kind of chill for the rest of the day and make this transition into this work schedule a slow and easy one..
I still have like about twenty minutes and well.. not sure of what else to say?? Only about three more hours of work for me?? Crunching on pretzels.. sitting in the Library have to subtle for Edna cause my girlfriend isn't here.. Edna is kinda like my safety blanket.. okay so maybe not.. at least I hope not.. would someone tell me if it was?? Wierd... I am sure I have blabbed on long enough.. Miss everyone out there who is reading this.. I am out for now.. God Bless...

So needless to say I woke up several times.. but it is all good I am not that tired yet?? And I woke up before my alarm went off! Then I had a grand old time backing out of where I parked last night after getting lost in Jackson?? Hmm.. oh well it was all worth it... And now it is Wednesday.. and early afternoon.. and I say bring on the day.. It is smoking outside too.. I thought it was suppose to rain today but I don't really think that is going to happen maybe tonight... I also will probably end up water my girlfriends plants.. Then kind of chill for the rest of the day and make this transition into this work schedule a slow and easy one..
I still have like about twenty minutes and well.. not sure of what else to say?? Only about three more hours of work for me?? Crunching on pretzels.. sitting in the Library have to subtle for Edna cause my girlfriend isn't here.. Edna is kinda like my safety blanket.. okay so maybe not.. at least I hope not.. would someone tell me if it was?? Wierd... I am sure I have blabbed on long enough.. Miss everyone out there who is reading this.. I am out for now.. God Bless...

glorious sunset
Well this is just a photo that I recently got to download even though it did take quite some time to download here on these computers at Au Sable.. but it was well worth it.. I mean the sunset was glorious and the company was even better... It is soo marvelous to be able to slow down and enjoy God's creation and really pay attention to the detail.. and just be amazed by it! This is just a fun photo and thought I would do something fun before I had to hit the books after dinner.. and write papers.. and study.. and all of these such things..
Well so I have been told that you are suppose to watch the sunset all the way and watch the sun go all the way down and look for a green flash?? But I really didn't see a flash maybe a green color or tint.. but no green flash.. and I am not exactly sure how that works or what that would even look like..? But for what it is worth there it is...
I just got done running about three miles and I feel like we ran it fast.. I actually got done with it in about twenty minutes and twenty seconds.. and I was beat.. then I took a shower.. and here I am.. just about to eat dinner momentarily..
I have only two more days here at Au Sable.. but it is kind of a bitter-sweet goodbye... The people have been great but the work intense.. and I have been dominated in the field of woody plants and with the conclusion of this class becomes a little more freedom and for that I am excited... however that also brings the summer work and job, but I think that I can manage that.. especially after being here and working like crazy.. I am tired.. and yet I think that I am going to have a full night.. so it should be interesting.. I am not sure whether I am tired from running or if I am just tired.. or a combination of both.. but either way I might need to drink an energy drink to make it through the night.. you know the kind that contains like thousands of vitamins... well I am not sure how that works either but I am pretty sure that it cannot hurt at this point.. I am willing to try just about anything... Well keep me in your prayers and I will continue to work.. and the end is nearing.. sweet! And with the nearing I hope to see many more of the sunsets similar to the one in the picture! :)

elite night thoughts
Another entry.. just for the heck of it.. and besides it looks like I may have some catching up to do on the whole blogging thing... And I also am not sure how much I will be able to blog in the next few days to follow... So I just had a little tea time.. which was enjoyable.. and soothing.. and now am pretty much ready for bed as fatigue sets in... :) Why does being in the sun suck the energy right out of you?? At school why could I stay up until the wee hours of the morning and now right after turning 21 and begin wanted to go to bed at ten thirty and naps have become my next favorite passtime.. is it one of those things that progressive increase as your age does showing a linear realationship?? You start of napping and sleeping at night.. and then by the time you are a senior citizen you do nothing but nap and wake up at five every morning??? wierd... sleep has never been something hard for me to do.. but however lately I have found that it has gotten a lot more enjoyable!! And I think that is because I have been stressed out and I haven't had any real fun motive to stay up?? Well maybe I have had some motive for a few nights.. but beyond that nothing? The last time that I remember that I needed sleep like this was when I was going through my growth spurts.. maybe I am going through more of them?? Probably not.. could you imagine... hmm... I think it is more the stress.. and well the knots in the back have got to go.. so lets hope the sleep does the trick! Nothing more welcoming than a mummy sleeping back on a camp mattress... Well guess you know where I am heading.. Off to dream!
Brotherly Fun!
For those of you who have siblings out there that you are close to you know how it is? Growing up and having my brother Jeret there to hang out with has been great! I recently got this picture in my email and thought that it would be appropriate to post because well he is going to be graduating on Sunday!!! Geez I can not believe that.. knowing that just makes me feel old.. It really hasn't hit me that is happening but when I sit in those bleachers and watch him walk across in his cap and gown that is when I will be like.. I cannot believe that he is graduating.. My brother is great and we always have so much fun together... and we get along really well to... I really hope and pray that we will continue to stay close as time goes on and I really don't think that will be a problem... :) Jeret has just always been a constant friend to me over the years and continues to be! I hope that you can see the love here.. and for your enjoyment I thought that I would but the picture up.. so enjoy!
