Out of the blue

I was speachless. Of all the places, Walmart would be the least likely; here in my little northern small town!! As I scanned the faces in line, one in particular caught my attention.... mainly because she was waving at me. It took me until she was walking toward me that I realized who it was!
My very first puppy-love, now sixteen years later, was walking forward!
We have had a hit and miss, off and on acquaintance since we were four of course, but it had been at least four years since I had heard anything. Now as she walked up with her husband, my world was rocked like no other!!! Apparently, she now lives in this little town not too far from my school!
Funny what happens when you stop to pay attention to who is around you... you might just find your not as alone as you think you are.
Missin' all my free-spirits back down south in SGF as I recall the people I love to see. Only a few more weeks and we'll be together again!

If you hadn't found me, I would have found you

My best friend asked a good question, and being caught between the two, I realized how much these two movies really define the heart of me. Music.... heart and soul!! I could waste an entire day just sitting around ... or dancing around with no care, but to learn the lyrics. Love.... sometimes, it just happens.. and lasts the rest of your life. Dad... There's no replacing him in my life. I may be two decades old, but I'm still just a little boy wanting to be carried on his strong shoulders. Enjoy!

Fruits of the Spirit...Week

Tomorrow a good third or more of the school is packing up and headed to our sister school for some good friendly competition. Tribal Cup should be real fun to watch... though I'm more excited to see all the people I know from Jackson that I havn't seen in forever!!.. Okay, so it's only been three months, but even so.
We had spirit week. There was a ton of homework and practices going on so not a ton of people participated, but it was fun to see the people who did. I tried to do every day, though I didn't get Monster Monday. But Tye-Dye Tuesday was my favorite.

Tie up a black shirt like a regular tye-dye

Pour capfuls of bleach on it and let sit for a few hours

(turns orange as it lightens)

After rinsing the bleach out, add your desired color in following dying instructions!!

Wacky-hair Wednesday I woke up late so instead of rubber-banding the top half of my head and straightening the bottom half down, I only had time to straighten it all.
...I like it somewhat straight (and so did some of the GUYS!?!) but it looks better without my beard... and I like my beard more than straightening my hair every day.
Anyway, today was Twin Thursday. A friend and I wore green hoodies, jeans, brown shoes, and black and gray beanies. Our curly hair and boisterous beards made the rest of it fit. Fun times. Lookin' forward to School Spirit Friday. We have to wear all red since Jackson is doing all black.. It's gonna be a grand time. I just have to remember to save some of my voice for Church Choir on Sunday!! Go Piranhas!!!
