I know i have not had a new post in a long time, bear with me I'm still trying to figure out how to get things set up, so normally when i get on here to blog i end up getting highly distracted and just playing with all of the settings. Last weekend i was in Auburn for the Snow, and it was just such a great day, i will defiantly add some photos later. i cant right now because i am at school in the library, ugh. but this week of course started out great because it is a short week, so i cant be live that it is really already Wednesday! hooray! Just to fill you in on a few things, i am currently thinking and praying alot about the summer, and what to do. you see i am kinda going a couple different directions. right now i am looking for a good job for this semester, because lets be honest i now currently have alot to pay for having just added a car payment (not a new car, my red Honda) so while i am looking for a job this semester, i am still working at the golf course. my thing about finding a different job is that previously at the golf course the last two summers i have been able to leave and work at camp and then just return the end of August and start working there again during the year, i am worried that if i do find another job that that will most likely not be the case, seeing as how most people don't just up and let their employees leave for a summer. so obviously while looking i have been pray that God would just lead me to the right job and if it works out that i should be there all summer then, that's where he wants me. so the more i look and call and apply the more i get told, "not hiring right now" "didn't get an interview" and so forth. so there are a couple of other things that have been going through my head. yeah i mean of course i am disappointed i didn't get a job, but also i cant help but think maybe God wants me somewhere else completely. Missions has been on my mind since Passion 07 when i went through the do something now part and read all about the short and long term missions opportunities, i felt then like that would be something i was dominantly interested in doing. not to mention as most of you know i am dead set on adopting a baby girl from china one day, so i am always in the back of my head thinking about how i would love to go do missions at an orphanage. but alright to get back on track, because i tend to mumble and ramble on. Every time Joel Brooks mentions the short term summer missions trip to Northern Ireland and every time the had the speakers that have gone speak, i thought gosh that sounds like such an awesome opportunity. so right now i am seriously praying and thinking about that and all the ways that that would probably not work with schedules and working and blah but also how i would just love to have the chance now to do that. so i know that this is alot of really nothing but the application for Northern Ireland is due by Fab 1st. so there is not much time and i don't want to apply on a whim i want to know that that is potentially where God might want me this summer, or is there is something else He has in store for me. So i will update you on whether or not i apply. sorry for the extreme longness of this blog hope it all makes some sort of since. Btw thank goodness for spell check!

love you Abby!
Hey Abby girl. I'm glad to see that you have a blog. I blog WAAAAY more than Quinn, but I've found it to be therapeutic for me. He calls me the BLOG QUEEN. I'll take it. I'm putting you on my bloglines and will be looking forward to your next post.
Love, ME!
We need to have another party soon at the poolhouse!
Abigail! You told me most of this already, so you know my thoughts subject-wise.
Blog-wise, I have two requests:
1) Paragraphs. Please. Large blocks of text tend to make the eye wander and the mind scared.
2) Capitalize the first letter of sentences; that way, I know when one ends and another begins, much easier to read that way.
Those will just make it much easier to read, that's all!
Haha sorry brad, i guess when i sit down and start blogging i just get carried away and think of it more like a AIM so i don't paragraph or capitalize, but ill work on it!
