Clear as mud
How come us as humans want to have everything handed to us all planned out? Why do you think that things are never quite crystal clear when it comes to the future? We always have questions, frustrations, misunderstanding, desires, and expectations. Life is hard confusing and unpredictable. Many times I feel like I stir sooo many things up in my life unknowingly only to step back expecting to see a clearer picture yet only seeing things cloudy and unclear. Hoping that when things do settle they will be as if God has planned it and that I may enjoy it. Plans... future... it is hard especially when you are trying to remain flexible for God.. giving him some wiggle room. Cherishing the important things and trusting in God.... The world brings pressure, confusion, frustration, but you know what... you WILL prevail.. and today will become tomorrow and the cycle continues... getting throw things one thing at a time... It is hard but you know what... communication is still SO important.. talk about things with people and even more importantly to GOD! I know this blog is just a jumble of things.. but I guess I am at that settling stage??
Jamos, EMILY, Kim and Chris
The two on the right are the parents of Chloe, the little girl that I was holding in the previous picture. They were here for homecoming.. Fun times.. We got to go to the soccer game with them.. give them a tour of campus.. and just spend a little time with them chilling at Emily's house! It was a little windy that day.. you might be able to tell from my beautiful girlfriend's hair! Oh well.. it was fun!
Me and Chloe
This is me and Chloe.. she is a cutie huh?? And look at her adorable little face she is making… We were at homecoming and I was keeping her warm… because it was a bit chilly out! I love kids.. and well they seem to like me! So.. I guess the feeling is mutual! BUT I LOVE IT… and getting to hold and play with Chloe was nice! So I thought I would post this picture because I like it a lot.. and my girlfriend like it a great deal as well!

Weekend Wonderland
So I really really needed to post so I decided to! Why has blogging become such a chore to do?? I have to figure out some way to make it fun again or something?? I don't know..
Anyway I have been having some wonderful weekends.... Two weekends ago when it was homecoming I had an amazing time getting to hang out with Emily's mom JUNE... and getting to hold a cute little baby girl Chloe and just spending sometime with my wonderful GIRLFRIEND!
Well this last and most recent weekend the roles where switched in some aspects... Because I went home and well EMILY came with me... and eventhough she has family there she got to hang out with my family! Which was quite a treat! Friday night we got home in time for her to eat PIZZA like her FAV food that she had like four meals straight... with her Dad and stepmom Barb... then I went and picked her up and a pizza for my fam... and then we went to my house had pizza and then jetted off to the mall to met up with my brother to go to Niles and watch a movie with him and his friend EMILY... kinda crazy if you ask me Jamos and Emily and Jeret and Emily... wierd.. but none the less.. watched Elizabethtown.. it was pretty good... and then we stopped by a gas station to get some hot beverage and then I took her home... then stayed up til like four something playing video games... And that was just Friday night! Saturday I woke up to my amazing girlfriends voice (on the phone just to clarify) and then I showered and went over to her dad's house and the festivities began.. we hung out.. and took a quick walk through the christmas tree farm and then we went to lunch at Quizno's... good eats.. and then we went downtown St. Joe and looked around at some shops.. went to a pet store looked at cats and bought some stuff for her Amah's catand then we went to her Amah's and hung out with her cat Alice and Emily's Uncle DON..... and we worked on a puzzle... SWEET... Then we went to the mall to see my bro at work.. and pick up Em's car charger.. then I bought my bro some fries.. and then we ran to radio shack got a battery for her dad..and then it was to get a movie.. and not the most pleasant movie picking experience but got through it none the less.. went to my Grandma's and celebrated my brothers birthday with a feast... then we quick ran to EM's dad's house to hang out with them for a few.. and then back to my house for ice cream cake and a movie... THEN finally on SUNDAY I woke up then went and picked up AMBER.... then EMILY and then to CHURCH... after church I took amber home.. then went home and had lunch with one of my brothers... (Javin)... my mom and dad and EMILY.. fun times.. I played a couple of video games.. EM scanned some books and then it was time to pack up.. hit the road back to the ARBOR.. hung with my girl for a few... and then back to the room to catch some sleep before another crazy week at SAU ...
SO as you can tell my life has been crazy good.. Not to mention having some WOW moments with my GF... Just an overall good time. MY girlfriend EMILY BETH STARKE is AMAZING.. and I really LIKE her.. and don't care who knows it...

Eyes blurred with tiredness
Well tonight was quite interesting... I did a lot of reading and right now Imy eyes are kind of blurry.. well that isn't good.. but I did get to talk to my girlfriend tonight while she was on the road doing a college fair and that was nice! I am pretty tired after all that reading... and I have to get up really early to go to work..
Why do your eyelids get heavy when you are tired? Why is it that our eyelids are an indicator as to how tired we truly are? Kinda crazy that God could create such a complex system in which when our whole body is tired then our eyelids will get heavy indicating that we should go to sleep.. kinda crazy if you ask me.. I mean why didn't he make us blink two times to indicate that we had a fifteen minutes before we were going to be asleep... or have us burp when we were tired.. I mean God is pretty amazing if you ask me!
Well I know just more random thoughts.. but I am tired and need to go to bed.. so Good night to the world.. and to EMILY specifically!

Monday Morning Ramblings..
Life has been crazy interesting and fun. Lately school has seem to take over my life.. and left me with little time for anything else.. Today is monday once again and life gets crazy again.. with work and class... The weather is cool and fall like.. except I don';t really have like any of my fall clothes here.. lol.. hmm guess I will have to work on that one.
Have you ever just laid in bed and smiled.. not really knowing why you are smiley but can't stop non-the-less... Do you ever feel as if God has blessed you beyond what you could imagine? Or simply caught a glance from someone you really care about, and they receprocate the feeling, and you feel special because of it! It is pretty amazing if you ask me! But lately that seems to happen a lot!
I don't k now I mean life is interesting in that aspect.. to know that you are heading for the real world, but kind of blind to the steps to get there.... and we all know what happens when you try and go up stairs with your eyes closed... it just doesn't work.. But I feel like things are in this weird limbo state... I am yet a student.. but for not much longer.. I am her in the arbor, but where exactly am I headed next?? I play so many roles it is intriguing to think about and which ones trump which one at any particular instant... Roles like boyfriend, son, friend, Christian, biology major, student, adult, brother, and many more...
Senior year in college.. and yet my senior year in high school feels like only weeks ago.. growing older.. and evolving.. and continuing on the path and fulfilling a purpose that God alone has designed and laid out for me... It is exciting.. scary.. interesting.. and just plain confusing sometimes.. but you know trust is important.. and not to mention taking that "leap of faith" for the unknow... but knowing that the unknow is taken care of and will work out wonderfully and perfectly...
Days seem to run together and merge into this solid clump of what we refer to as "life." Days slip by so smoothly and quickly as like the leaves changing this fall. But I am determined and will press on.. and you know what Life goes by quickly... and I take it day by day taking in all that my senses allow and make the most of what God has given me.. and well it seems to be working pretty well so far...
