The question...

Where do you see yourself in five years? Or more importantly, who do you want to be in five years?

Home again

Well, I am home again. What a blessing. I have missed this place!

The play.

The play Lindsey and Lauren acted in this summer just ended. They did a beautiful job. Lindsey played the part of Beth in 'Little women.' She had the audience in tears when she died each night. (I know because I looked around to see who else was crying each night!)

Lauren on the other hand shocked us with her fine aristocratic snobbery and flirtatious actions She was the spoiled and rich ball attendee who handled herself very elegantly as she gossiped about the March family. It was a great show, and she makes a most excellent flirt!

Mom directed the whole operation. Once again she awes me with her talant and organizational skills. Dad worked in the sound booth this summer making sure that the sound and lights of the show would go on. Grandmother did a great job heading up the team of hairstylists and makeup artists. She worked for hours on end to make it a success. I can only watch and tell you that she is amazing.

In a production that consumed so much time from the others in my family you know I was around somewhere. My contribution to the play.~ Weeks of set painting, acting as a fill in makeup artist/hair stylist, acting as the driver for Grandmother and Lauren on the many trips to and from practice, collecting odds and ends for the show, saving one turtle, and video taping a preformance!

Quotes for the day!

"Teach him to call it "real life" and don't let him ask what he means by "real."

"All mortals tend to turn into the thing that they are pretending to be."

~C.S Lewis in The Screwtape letters.

Here it is!!!

Here is a video clip of the alligator Chad, Hickman and I were watching. Seconds before this video was taken the alligator was sitting deadly still and then he lunged after some poor creature. You catch a last little bit of the chomping motion at the first of the video. If you had been there you would have seen me jump about 3ft into the air. You can hear the guys still laughing at me in the background. -Don't let them fool you. They jumped too.

Brazosbend

I went to Brazosbend with Chad and Hickman to fish this afternoon. We didn't catch anything but I did get a few good pics! (Hehe...if you haven't noticed I love alligators!!)

Life?!.

A friend said "hey" to me today. I answered back with "Hey!"
He asked me why I was so excited. Life excites me! We live in a random world. I would rather end my sentences with "!" than "."
-If "!" is not available than "?" seems to hold more promise!

Who Is a hero?

Benjamin Franklin once said "Experience keeps a dear school. The fool will learn from no other." My heroes then are the men and woman who have gone before me and recorded what they have experienced. If I have learned even one thing from their triumphs or failures. They have saved me countless hours of struggle, heartache, and pain.

Tubing trip...

This is most of the crew who went tubing with me last month. Two not pictured.
