A Day in the Life Of....

Chris Tomlin the Next Worship Version of Switchfoot?

2006-10-18T20:40:00.000-04:00

So, My mom recently bought the new Chris Tomlin CD, See the Morning. So I'm listening to it. And it suddenly hits me, the new sound is in the instruments. It sounds to me somewhat like a Switchfoot, except the lyrics are more worship oriented. Take the Let God Arise song for example. The intro sounds alot like a Switchfoot sound. So, thats just a thought. Anyway, the 9th/10th grade trip went well, especially the prank (WAR) yea, good times. So now we are back to life.
Catch Ya Later,

I was seriously like fixin to jump out of my skin. But ya know, it was all God, we couldn't have done it without him. So all glory goes to him!

Rock The Universe

2006-09-10T19:56:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
Well, Rock The Universe....Was AWESOME this year! Thursday we rode down there, Friday we went to Islands of Adventure. We rode the good rides there. Then at 5 we walked over to Universal Studios, I forget what we did first, but we saw Skillet, a bit of Relient K! We rode the Mummy 6 times!! It is undoubtedly the best ride there. Then we rode Earthquake and Jaws. The Saturday we went to the park at 4, watched AudioA and then went to Third Day. They both were awesome. Then we went to ride the rides. We rode Back to the future, and then The Mummy 3 times! Again, the Mummy is the best ride! It was an awesome experience. ;)

2006-09-07T21:04:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
Well, from Tuesday to Thursday I was with all the Juniors and Seniors from school in Dahlonega for a Spiritual Leadership Retreat. It was awesome!!! So, Tuesday we went horseback riding. Hehehe. My horse wouldn't stop running! When we were nearing the end of the trek up the mountain, my horse started chaseing Scotts & Michael's horse. Like he was hauling butt. So I was bouncing like a maniac, in all the bouncing my foot came out of the stirrup. I then began to bounce around even more vigourously. I then started to fall forward, so i grabbed hold of the horse's neck. (Now realize that the horse is still running full speed) So the horse's neck was all sweaty, which made it slick, I then lost my grip and fell face first towards the ground. So I landed on the right side of my forehead / shoulder. So I am all bruised up from the crash. Thank God the horse didn't step on me or anything. RAISE GOD!! So my horse keeps following the group and no one stops! So I just start walking....Finally Mr. Berry comes along on his gigantic horse and gives me a ride till we got to my nutty horse. So its all good. So we left there and went to the Lodge we were staying at, I lead worship, then we had a devotion. Then we (the seniors) left to go to walmart to buy stuff for dinner, we had a twist of Puerto Rican and Cuban. It was good!! So Wednesday we went canoeing down the Chestatee. That was fun, everyone was racing so we just kinda gave up and then at the last rapid flipped the canoe for the fun of i, then rode ontop of the upside down, waterlogged canoe. :) Then we came back to the Lodge and chilled, then had a devotion, and the another AWESOME worship session! We were up until like 12am, So we got to sleep in until 8:30. Then we went to waffle house and finished up the retreat. (This was an abridged version, there was alot more) So now I am in the AV on the way down to ROCK THE UNIVERSE! So I think we have another hour left, but its taking forever. I'll fill yall in on the events of Rock the Universe!

-Call me and chat with me. :)

Labor Day Weekend Camping Trip

2006-09-04T21:15:00.000-04:00

Hi.
This weekend we went camping in North Georgia. Stayed at a place called Bald Mountain Park. It was kinda nice, but our site wasn't the best. The first picture is of a rainbow that we saw while we were traveling there. The other is of the view of the mountains from the Shoney's parking lot. It rained a whole bunch, but it made the temperature nice. The trip was, eh, okay. Like there were fun parts, but there was definately some letdowns. I don't want to go into detail, but all in all it was a nice getaway. Maybe if you ask, I'll fill you in.

I'm goin on a Spiritual Leadership Retreat till Thursday, then down to Rock the Universe. I'll try to yall upto date, but we'll see.

OneThing

2006-08-29T18:53:00.000-04:00

Well, Life has been busy. Homework has been heavy, but I enjoy it, sometimes. (Yea, I wacko) So, last weekend, 8/24-8/27, I went to onething Atlanta. One thing is:

"onething™ ministries is a division of the International House of Prayer Missions Base. Our focus is to call young adults to pursue the “one thing that is needed” (Lk.10:42) as the focus of their lives. We have several conferences around the nation each year imparting vision and giving practical ways to become a people of "onething".

In Ps. 27:4, king David prayed, “…one thing I ask, this one thing I seek, that I may behold the beauty of the Lord…" This prayer is central to what we are trying to cultivate in this generation. We are seeking to establish a generation to rise up with vision and confidence to be burning and shining lamps. Our goal is to see millions of young adults have deep understanding of God’s emotions and profound knowledge of the hour in which we are living.

These are the prayers that we are longing to see answered. This is the one thing we desire."

I really super enjoyed it, I can't wait for onething Kansas City! Thats going to rock! The conference was slammed full of worship and sermons, and they were both awesome. The bands ROCKED!! MERCHANT BAND! and Misty Edwards. So, yep everyone deffinatly needs to attend this, you will come back changed. Ask Me about it if you have any questions. :)

Later,

Wow.

2006-08-20T20:44:00.000-04:00

Hiyalls,
Well, today was great for the most part. Randy carted us to the church so I could get there in time for band practice. The worship went good, the service was good. After church, I went with Mr. Durnwald. Heh, we went Jet Ski'n Wow. That was awesome, I want one. I was goin something like 90 kilometers an hr. Hehe, which converts to 56 mph Christian was getting scared. I now understand why everyone is in love with'em. Anyway we had to duck and run because a storm came up. So went trucked back over to the church and waited for Mrs. Durnwald. When she got there I snagged muh baby, Peppa, and headed into the youth room. There Nathan and I practiced for worship tonite. We did a duet. I sang for the first time publicly, I've done it one other time to a friend, but thats it. I think it was Nathan's first time. So we did two songs and I think we rocked the house down. It was great for our first time. So, then youth was fun, I won a free dinner for having Ice down my shirt for the longest time. Then the parents picked us up and we came back over here. I'm now remembering homework that I need to do, I gotta run. So talk to ya's later. Oh, and Don't Hesitate to Call Me to Talk.

64 Chevy - Front Brakes

2006-08-18T17:26:00.000-04:00

Today I pulled the front wheel off and took a look at the front brakes. I got new pads from the parts store. The pads exactly matched a 1973 Chevy C10....but I sort of thought it was out of a camaro. I wonder if the front springs have been lowered. Doesnt look like much space for a truck. Anyone know????

Sunday

2006-07-30T23:01:00.000-04:00

Hey All,
Today we woke up and went to church, mom dropped us off because dad is leaving town for a bit. Ummm, so she got to church like really really late, like it was over. So when she got there Ben and I formulated an idea of where to eat. So we decided on Longhorns, we went there and got 'the usual' which consists of, for me, sweet tea and texas cheese fries!! but my entree was the black any bleu burger, yum :) After Ben and I finished eating we walked over to the new Walmart, I didn't understand what was so fabulous to make this store be 'the talk' but I now understand. It was massive. Plus it had a McDonalds in there! So yea, after that I went over to Ben's house. We goofed around on the computer for maybe 30 or so minutes, then we sat down and watched a movie. It was funny. So we stopped the movie and then I went to youth group and Ben stayed home because he didnt feel like going, as usual. So tonite's lesson was on prayer, we talked about it, then we prayed, then everyone ate Ice Cream. I looked for Mr. B, but didnt successfully find him. So yea, after youth we left and went to the McQuire's Rich Billionaire Neighbor's Pool. This place was Saaweeeettt!! It was on top of a mountain and so we swam at the pool and did other random things, then we turned on the TV that was at the pool and watched War Games. So yea, it was an event-filled night.

Bye,

Back to Puerto Rico

2006-06-26T00:15:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
I'm back in Puerto Rico for my summer job. It looks like I will be here for 2 weeks, but that is all subject to change due to an electrical issue with the company we will be working with. Either way I'm out of town. For some weird reason the flight down here was terribly long, last time it was a long flight, but it went by fast. All I did this flight was listen to one song over and over for four hours. The song incase you are wondering is one that a guy I know recorded, Jeff Banks. So I doubt any of you would know the song. Yea, besides listening to that one song I slept for 40 minutes, and just sat there and looked out the window and think. So, we get off the plane and do the usual find your bags adventure. After that we went to Pueblo (Puerto Rico's Publix) and got groceries. We stocked up on some good stuff. After the grocery run we came home and cooked dinner. It consisted of Churrasco and Shrimp. Churrasco is an awesome steak that is well known in Puerto Rico. My dad cooked, so it was pretty good. Tommorow we will be waking up at 8 and going out to eat breakfast at this restaurant that is supposedly good, according to one of the dudes down here with us, and then going into the data center and start working at 9. So yea, feel free to call me anytime and yammer, I love it. Talk to yall Later :)

Sunday! W00!

2006-06-18T23:08:00.000-04:00

Hello,

Atlanta Fest

2006-06-18T00:19:00.000-04:00

Hey,
I went to Atlanta Fest Today, but we left before any of the bands played, so I wasted 11 bucks of my money. So it was hot, long lines, and typical Six Flags Crap, but all in all it was fun. I went with Wesley's youth group, they were a nice group. So, yea tommorow is church then i dont know, so talk to you later.

Long Time, No Post

2006-06-15T12:55:00.000-04:00

Hey Guyses!
Sorry I haven't been posting here on the blog. I've just been so busy with vacation and camp. Last post I told you about my cruise adventure. This post will tell you about the camp that I went to. The camp was called Mini MC Camp. MC stands for Masters Commision. Masters Commision is an inter-city missions organization. They are located all around the United States in large cities. So I went there for a week to get a feel for what they do in their 9 month terms. I very much enjoyed it. They will be having another one of these camps next summer. I suggest you sign up- you will not regret it!

Cruise'n USA...I mean the Bahamas

2006-06-05T13:10:00.000-04:00

Hey You'ns
The last four days I have been on this ship, The Majesty of the Seas. It has been an experience, but not an exceptional one. It was nice to get away from everything and do nothing, but it was somewhat boring. I'd say the highlights of the trip was the unlimited food and the ports of call. We went to Cococay and Nassau. Cococay was a Royal Caribbean owned island, but Nassau is a real city. So, for a more in dept analysis of my trip just ask me. L0L Analysis? Where did that come from? Sounds cool.

Blah! Weekend 1

2006-05-29T21:48:00.000-04:00

Hola Yall,
This weekend has been good/tiring. Friday we did graduation, ughh I hate it. It took forever to get everything working. So, after that we went to Katie Hall's Graduation party. That was fun even though I was a zombie cuz I was so tired. Saturday consisted of me cutting the grass and going to Sarah Rogan's graduation party. That was fun, and good. Her mom is Italian (i think thats it) So she cooks like really really really really really good. She had some Tirimisu there, UGHH! IT was delicious. So, I hung around for a while, then Neal Hall showd up and we ate some more, then went downstairs. So down there, I'm on my phone txtn and he grabs it, I reach and try to get it from him, suddenly he brings right back to my lip. It hit my braces and put a gash in my lip. So it bled for about 5 minutes. Yea, after that incident we ditched the party and walked over to my house to hang out. We played a game of pool and then some games on the computer. After that, the day was over. Then, Sunday we had church, I played my 12'er as usual. This time I had a acoustic solo, by a solo I mean just me and John playing/singing, not like me going off and doing some riff and what not. So, my solo went great. After that we headed home to get changed and then headed out to the camp ground where all the folks from church where chill'n. So, there we did some crazy stuff. Then we had a small devotion, I played a few praise and worship songs. Then Christian, Nathan, and Luke were Mishak, Yishak, and Abendago (Spelling of hebrew names is not my forte). Then after that uhh dinner came around, we had these nasty hotdog wanna be thingies. These things had like tough skin on it and, well, they were just nastay. Luckly there was mac&cheese, So i stocked up on that. After that, we went on a boat ride. After the boat ride, we chillax'd over at the Long's camper. Watched some hilarious comedy by the Durnwald's and Ben McGuire. Then the Long's started handing out food to those boys. They were like starved beasts fighting over the food, I should have had the camera, but my parents had left. Oh! and I forgot to mention, I begged my parents and Mrs. Durnwald to let Ben and I to spend the night there. It worked. But the tent didn't really, there were 3 sleeping bags. I got the shortest one. So I have my feet sticking out of the bottom. Then i was inbetween Christian and Ben, So that put me in front of the door, so since I was so tall, I couldn't fit in the tent. So I had my feet sticking out of the tent also. Plus, we were sleeping on gravel, so like my whole torso was sore the next morning. The morning was blah, hot and blah. So, Dad came and picked me up later than he had planned too, but I still thought it was too early because, well just because. So after that I go home and take a shower and get cleaned up. After that I got to pack for the cruise we's goin on. Then G-parents came, they brought my cousin, we got to hang out, we went fishing for like 2 hrs. Caught absolutely nothing, but trees and gunk. Came home, let him play on the computer for a bit. Then we went to eat at Zaxby's for dinner. We said our good byes and left. So we came home, I finished packing for the cruise. And here I sit.

Raising the Bar

2006-05-24T20:12:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
Ok, so you're probably thinking, what the crap is this picture. Its a group of the 6th graders graduating. So I see this, and I'm totally not thinking about them and just well, I don't know. So I see it and I think HEY! They're Raising the Bar!.. Yes ITs random, but I thought it was funny, and thats all that matters. So yea, Day consisted of me waking up early *gag* X-D Yea so I wake up go to school for the National Honor Society for my most excellent GPA and all that other good junk. Yea Long story short, we got to say a pledge, hold burning candles, and get looked at. Oh Yea and you can't forget the pictures. So, after that I ditch field day and go home. I packed up my PC for the elementary honors thing majig. So yea, get there and get it set up, no one is there so, what the crap, I whip out the Counter Strike Source tactics at school. My Favorite. After about two rounds of me getting slaughtered, I realize that parents are coming in and they probably don't wanna see it, so i start minesweeper, give up on that, then start solitare. It was really boring. So, leave school, go to BJ's and buy about 500 mini eclairs for graduation. People were looking at me like I was a professional eater, getting some practice food. It was great. Come home chillax then go to Ali's Lake Cabin to pick up my sister. Long story short again, I could have lived without going there and having to deal with all the crap I did. I mean everyone was nice, but a certain few were annoying. So, I guess tommorow I have school bright and early because Caleigh has a IPP and I guess I get to stay home and be bored or go to school and be bored. Lose Lose Situation. Catch You Later!

A Big WhoopTiDo

2006-05-23T23:58:00.000-04:00

What's Going on Aye?
I realized today, Schools out, yay!, but then it hit me. What Now? School's Out, I have no plans for everyday, or any friends to see everyday. So I have come to a conclusion that we are totally going to have to have a friday night hang out house, I guess mine suits it. Pool Table, Ping Pong, Basketball court down the hill, plus a pool. If anything gets planned give me a call and hook me up with something to do. The weekend movie trip is going to be a must. So Yea! uhh Tommorow is field day, I'm not sure I want to go, just because I don't so yea, We'll see, then church wensday night. ahh. I'm rambling now. So before I keep going, Good Night!

2006-05-18T01:40:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
Today was another wonderful day in Puerto Rico. We slept in till 10. We could do that because we are still up at the office at 1:30am. So I'm whipped tired. My flight is tommorow at 12, i think. Either way it stinks that I gotta go. So yea, Im too tired to type. I'll fill you in later.
Enjoy the pictures.

A Rainforest in the Caribbean?

2006-05-17T11:45:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
Yesterday was a good day, well anyday in Puerto Rico is a good day. We went to the rainforest after chillin at the house for a bit. It was dark by the time we got there because it took us so long, another factor causing the darkness were the clouds and the trees. You could see the clouds for miles before we got there. So yea, we went to the rainforest and heard TWO MONKEYS! It was awesome. We also heard tons of birds and those loud frogs, I will put the sound clip up on the site later. Anyway, after that we went to a restaurant called Cafe Puerto Rico. It was very good! I got this seafood and rice mix, it was full of fish. My dad got Churrasco, a puerto rican strip steak. This steak was phenominal. It all came with sweet plantains, which are awesome. So for dessert we got flan. I had no clue what it was so here is my explaination after having some. It is this custard that has a light layer of honey on top. The plate had a bit of whipped cream and cinnimon. I dipped mine in the cinnimon, which made it taste better to me. Anyway, we left, went home, watched TV and goofed on the comp.

Yes, they have movies in spanish. For those who are spanish illiterate, it says," Poseideon in theaters june 1st."

Bienviendos a Puerto Rico!

2006-05-15T22:11:00.000-04:00

<-- Mountains!

Hola Amigos!
Hoy es lunes. Oops! I forgot, I can talk in English now. Ok, I was saying: Hey Guys, Today is Monday and I have come down to Puerto Rico for a summer job. Seriously! So, morning consisted a long drive down Ga. 400. We arrive to our Boarding Gate and there is a Starbucks right across from it. I run for it. I get my loot and run for the gate. They announce last call as I walk up. PRAISE GOD! So, I get on the plane and walk to the back and get comfy. Sit down get ready for take off. While in the air I'm listening to John Mayer. Then King Kong came on the tvs watched it, then turned on JM again for the landing. After getting off the plane, we went and sat in line for a car for atleast 30 minutes. We had a trainee check out man, so it was taking forever. After getting out of the airport, we went to eat lunch at a joint called, El Hamburger. Best Hamburgers in the World! While it doesnt have the most clean dining room, it has a view of the ocean crashing against the rocks. Then we went to work for 45 minutes. Then we came home, changed and went out to dinner. We ate at a place called aguaviva. It was seafood/steak. The food was fine. Then left and got a Puerto Rican Starbucks! Then walked around San Juan a bit more then came to the condo and chilled out/practiced guitar. -C

<-- One cool looking street. Its cobblestone with a view of the ocean

<--Starbucks in Puerto Rico. I got a picture of the menu too! Its in Spanish!

Drifting

2006-05-13T23:07:00.000-04:00

Hey,
Today was great. Started off cutting the grass, then leaving to go to the picnic. It was ok. The only problem was that there wasnt any high school representation, except for Sean, Gabe, Sandra, and me. After that we left and headed to Road Atlanta. We went to the Drift Atlanta Show. It was totally awesome. Especially the mustangs, the viper, and the 350 Z (i think thats it), and the Pontiac GT. They were the best, I don't know who won, but either was it was a great show. Tommorow, I have church then packing for San Juan baby!!

I Can See the Finish Line!

2006-05-12T21:54:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
I've been so busy lately that I have had no time to post. So This one is going to be a long one.
Well, Last Saturday I took the S.A.T. I feel good about it too, so thats good. Mr. Berry didn't really think so when I told him. Despite that its all good. After the SAT, We went to eat at the Johnny's Pizza. The Best New York Style Pizza, outside of NY. Then I went and got a pedicure. That obsolutely rocked! Then I went home and got dressed. I looked awesome. Pictures are here. Then on Sunday I played in chapel, at the end of the service when we were going crazy about the amount that came in the offering, during that section, I was totally improv'ing it. I had my neck crained around to see Randy or Joni shouting out the chords, luckly my volume was down. After church came the AJC Auto Show. Here are some photos that I took that totally rock. I saw all the latest cars/trucks/vehicle of any type. So, Enjoy the pictures. Then this week was good, basically really laid back because of all the trips that all the 9-10th grades took this week, along with the field days going on, we basically didn't have any teachers all week. Tonite, we ate at Sal's Place, then came over to Starbucks. Next we will be going to the movie joint to rent something, I think. Tommorow, the HCA Picnic will be going on, then after that we will be going to Drift Atlanta at Road Atlanta. Its gonna rock! Sunday we will be playing a ton of songs.
Monday! I HOPE I will be going down to San Juan, Puerto Rico to help out my dad with some work. Luckly I'm golden for school because grades have to be in early for the Seniors. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!

Thats It!

My Parties Rock!

2006-04-30T14:48:00.000-04:00

Hello All ,
I had my 16th birthday party last night. There are several pictures here in the post. More will be posted on my site in the pictures section. Just an FYI for all who didn't come- You totally missed out. Ok anyway back to what happened. Morgan, Steagall, Meghan, and Wes were the first partiers to arrive. They played pool for a bit while I continued to set up tables and the sound/projector. As people slowly began to arrive the party migrated down to the basketball court for a game of B-Ball. I wandered around the area from pool to ping pong to basketball then to just plain ol' chilling out. Dinner was ready so we ate then continued the activities. I soon hear 3 girls yelling Caleb Caleb!. I turn to see morgan, sommer, and meghan. They tell me to come show them how to drive my dad's '68 Chevy. I pull out the diagram that my dad used to show me how to drive it. They still didn't understand the concept of "3 on the tree" I then retrieve my dad and tell him that they want to learn to drive it. So Morgan goes first. It was quite funny to watch because you have a clueless person driving with about 10 or so people in the back of the truck screaming for their lives. So Morgan makes it up to Sarah Rogan's House. We all run up to the door ring the bell about 20x. No one comes, So they open the door and run in. They go in the basement and find Shane, Sarah, and Katie. They were freaked out because they had no clue anyone was in the house. So they come running out of the house. Shane hands me a gift, FUDGE FROM PARSONS!!! w00t! Anyway, We get down to the truck with 3 more people. They then hop in the back. Megan drives the truck all the way down the hill, Shane then hops in the driver seat and drives. He did the best, as far as being smooth in his transitioning between the gears, Morgan and Meghan did the best as far as never had driven a column shift before.

So then we do cake and ice cream. My cake as you can see below rocks! After cake and ice cream, I started the John Mayer concert. It was not quite dark enought yet so I let it play while we opened gifts. While I opened gifts Shane and Bryan made out on the front yard.. WAIT I mean they wrestled. After that, people were either watching the concert, playing ping pong, shooting pool, or drinking mom's lattes. So all in all the party was very successful. The party wasn't over till atleast 11pm. The neighbors were getting mad because the concert was so loud.

Plans Cancelled

2006-04-26T22:55:00.000-04:00

Today had its Ups and Downs. One of the downs was my mom stating that she was no longer supporting my formal idea. The reason being that a rumor was going around school and it was ticking people off. This for one ticks me off because now I'm screwed for a formal event thats cheap and fun, unlike the HCA formal. So the plans are off 'till further notice. Six Flags on Friday! I can't wait! I'm with the group of girls so this will interesting, seeing how I only know about 1/4th to 1/2 of them. Then Saturtay I will be having my party. We bought 60 burgers today so please don't hesitate to come!

The Formal Uprising

2006-04-25T22:40:00.000-04:00

Hola Amigos,
Today we went to the Shakespeare Tavern to see the Glass Menagerie. Afterwards we headed over to the CNN Center for a tour. It was interesting to see how all the stuff works and all the behind the scenes stuff. When I arrived home I cut the grass, then ate dinner, and then sat outside and chatted with my dad. I walked inside from talking w/ dad and my mom told me that she had recieved an e-mail from Mrs. Willis about the formal. This is really cracking me up now because now the parents have to get involved. I guess since the students are rebelling against the student council, the SC members go home and ask mommy if they will send out an e-mail to all the parents blameing their kids for not notifing their parents of the ticket sales, dates, etc. of the formal. Remember Now, My plans for an Alternative formal night are still in progress. Also if you are planning to come to my party, PLEASE! call and RSVP we need to know how many burgers/hotdogs to buy. Any Questions? Call me/e-mail me

Its a Good Week

2006-04-24T21:56:00.000-04:00

Hello All,

This week is starting off great! Today was good, Tommorow I'm going to the CNN Center/Shakespeare Tavern, Friday I'm going to Six Flags! W00! Then Saturday night will consist of my party. Basically, The WHOLE Senior High was invited(9th-12th grades). If you go to HCA and are in Sr. High and you didn't snag an invite: Ask me for the info because you are invited. Lunch was also interesting today. Here is the story: A bunch of 9th graders come up to the formal sign-up sheet and start scratching names off of it. Like they weren't doing this in a sneaky way, it was like a angry mob trying to get their hands on it. My stance on the formal (This is my opinion, Please Do Not Hate Me For It): First 60 bucks for me to go sit in some nice room is not important to me. Second, I would rather go eat somewhere that was formal and chat than trying to yell over some crazy DJ. Third, Its Just Not Important to me. So with that stated, I am working on an "Alternative Formal Night". This would consist of a group of people dressed like they would be attending the formal going down to Buckhead or Virginia Highlands (Depends on the group size) and eating a nice dinner and chatting a little bit. Then maybe going to see a movie, and then going to eat dessert/coffee at some other nice dessert joint.

***This is still in the planning stages.***

I do believe that that is all the goingson in my life.

Catch Ya Later Dudes

Dreary Days

2006-04-19T18:27:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
Today was a somewhat dreary day, not that it wasn't bad. Everybody was just tired. The weather didn't help either. This picture shows what I wish I was doing today. After school our Literature group worked on our project storyboard. We finished typing out what needed to go in it for me to come home and type it into the right format. That has been completed. My uncle appears to be fine now. They still don't know what has caused the seizure, but they are still working on that. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

My Life as a Sunglass/Face Mask Model

2006-04-18T21:20:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
I've posted several pictures here of Michael and I. Here we are modeling sunglass' and drama face masks. My was on wrong, but who cares we were having fun!
Anyway! Today was good. After school we went to go look for a camper, but the camper joint had already sold the camper we wanted to look at. So we continued our journey home. Once we arrived I jumped on my homework hoping that it would leave. It got finished, but its still here right next to me cluttering up my bed. Ah I hate clutter! So after homework, I went downstairs and began cooking some Steak, Gosh! Finished the steak and then went inside. About that time the phone rang. It was my grandma, she said that my uncle had a seizure in Washington D.C. So we prayed for him. Please do so also. After dinner I cut the grass in 20 minutes. Thats a record for a push lawn mower. Then after that I chilled a bit and caught my breath. After I was releaved, I called Leah from Master Commision in Atlanta about their Mini Master Commision Camp. She said the plans had changed from a 3 week camp to a 1 week camp. I'm pretty pumped about it. Then got another call from my grandma saying that my uncle was now talking and stable, but the doc's are still testing him to find out what cause the seizure in the first place. Now I sit here typing this up.

Enjoy the Pictures,

Easter Sunday 2006

2006-04-16T17:10:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
Today was a GREAT Easter Sunday. We woke up and attended the Sunrise Service. Then we headed downstairs to the gym for breakfast that was cooked up for the church. I then returned to the Main Santuary to prepare for praise and worship. It went great, I had my usual mess-ups, but nothing went terribly wrong. After church we headed home to take care of Godiva. We lingered there for an hour and took some Easter photos. This was my particular favorite. See I told you I was going to be looking good! After the pictures we left to go eat lunch. We ate at Fajitas, then returned home, washed the dog, dried the dog, played on the computer, then started homework. Now I am still working on homework, accually I just started, but I got bored so I decided to update you and show off my awesome Easter Picture

Third Day and Cheesecake...It doesn't get much better than that!

2006-04-15T23:48:00.000-04:00

Hello Again,
Yesterday,the 14th, was awesome! We went to a Third Day/David Crowder Band Concert at the Fabulous Fox. Afterwards, We went to the Cheesecake Factory in Buckhead for some dessert. Yum is all I can say. You look at the picture and decide for yourself. Better yet just read the name, Chocolate Tuxedo Cheesecake.

Then Today was a 'work' day. We worked around the house doing various chores and fixing loose ends. Then Mom and I went and bought me some Easter Clothes. I'm going to be rocking this year for Easter, you just wait and see. Then came home and set up my desktop computer. I haven't been on that thing in a week! Then went with Dad to get pizza and groceries. Tommorow is Easter, so we will be waking up and going to the Sunrise Service at Freedom. Then eating the provided breakfast, then I will be playing in the band for the regular service. Its my first time. After that I don't know what will be going on.

2006-04-12T17:14:00.000-04:00

Today was again an average day. It had its ups and downs. We, the JUNIORS, were taken to Starbucks! Why you ask!?!? Because Pastor Jay is awesome and we scored a class average of 93 on a US-states/cities test. So BOO YAA!

Came home, then cooked a Bratwurst on the grill. Yea, it doesn't get much better than a fresh cooked bratwurst on a day like this! Now I shall begin homework and prepare for the upcoming day.

I'm lost as far as a title goes

2006-04-11T22:19:00.000-04:00

Hello Again,
Today was once again a good day at school. I went to the soccer game/baseball practice/tennis practice after school. Our team won. I came home, began homework, then left to cut the grass so that it would be a reasonable temperature. I then finished up my guitar rack for my room. Dinner came around, Mmm, Spagetti! After dinner, Dad and I hung the guitar rack. It totally Rocks. Now I'm getting ready to turn in for tonite.

G' nite Aye

Home Sweet Home

2006-04-10T17:29:00.001-04:00

Hey Guys,
We are back home now after a 12 hour drive. Today at school was good. Lite on homework, it was a nice 'welcome back to school' day. This morning though was interesting. The day commenced when we woke up and procceded to prepare for the upcoming day of school. We were on time for the beginning of school. We arrived there and mom began to write me a note to excuse me for an appointment. She looked at the time to record it. The time said 8:50, we were just like, Oops we forgot to set the clock back. We then noticed that all the seniors were there. I then was like, look at your phone it updates the time automatically. The time matched that of the vehicle's time. We then recalled that on the trip we had 'sprung forward' for the time change in the car, but we forgot to change it when we arrived back at home. So I was late for school, luckly not for my appointment. Dinner will consist of STEAK, yea! Then I have Boy Scouts. The day will conclude there.

2006-04-08T18:04:00.000-04:00

Hey Guys,
I'm running behind on my blogging entries. So I will make up for it here in this one. Tuesday consisted of me flying my kite and going to the store.

What I found at the store is quite interesting.

Yesterday we finally caught a good fish to eat.
Its called a Puppy Drum. We have filleted it and are planning to eat it tonight. So anyway, today's events consisted of packing up and straightening the house.

I posted more pictures of the trip on my site (cdrawdy.googlepages.com/outerbankspictures) scroll all the way to the bottom for the latest. Enjoy

Jaws

2006-04-06T16:56:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,We had a late start today, around nine, but finally got out to the ocean. We decided to go to the Hook ( http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=hatteras,+nc&ll=35.222593,-75.529456&spn=0.001284,0.00412&t=k ). We caught tons of shark, about 25 of them, and also a couple of skates. It was awesome. Today was the best fishing day of all the days we have been here in OBX. Enjoy the rest of the photos.

Yesterday, we went to the Cape Hatteras Light House. It was interesting to learn about how they moved the actual light house a half mile away from the shore because the shore was eroding.

Early...Too Early

2006-04-05T14:56:00.000-04:00

Hey Yall,
I'm moving my blog to here because the set up is easier. Thanks for keeping up with the site changes.

Today, we woke up EARLY and went fishing at False Point. On the way to the spot we saw a plain old camping chair, a dog, a cap, and sunglasses laying there. No man anywhere around. It was really weird. So we kept driving and set up our rigs and chilled. We caught numerous skates, a shark, and a puffer fish. We threw all of them back. We came home and chilled. And here I sit!
