Pumpkins and seeds.




I love fall.


 Minus Halloween, but the best part of fall is pumpkins. They are amazing. and orange (my favorite color!) But what makes them even better is pumpkin seeds, whoa. I had never had them before today but now that i've had them addicted. I'm addicted to pumpkins and their seeds. :) We had so much fun today carving our pumpkins, when we went to pick them out the common phrase was your pumpkin will simply speak to you! so true. everyone found their pumpkin or pumpkins that simply described their personalities PERFECTLY.

Mine was small and round and different with lumps, and everyones seemed to have flaws, not one was perfect. Which even though may sound bad, we all have our flaws and none of us our perfect.  and then we went back to B's apartment and started taking out the "guts"...disgusting. This was the worst part, nasty nasty nasty. at first i and others refused to stick our hands in them, but after we did it was actually kinda fun.

 And then started the carving..haha. wow. we all put our first letter or our first name on our pumpkin. it was great, because even though two girls had te same letter the letters were different. it described them. Julias was simple and Jessies was artsy which is them. and Kari put a K and a heart, i put just an H and it was a weird H i might add :) Bethany put a B, and winnie put her W and it was a cute W :) Sara put her S( talented s! ) and Danielle put her D which the middle fell out but it was still adorable! :) I'm so glad waynesboro has the type of community where there isn't much to do so you have to be creative, which causes great things :)

I love Fall, and the girls who i carved with :)

Stress.

This past week was Hell week.


 And as many of you know, i'm not in Concert Choir. But I still have hell week, mine is different though, I and everyone else has to put up with choir kids bad attitudes because of sleep depravation. Even though we all still love the choir kids, it's still irritating.


 Everything gets changed on hell week, and this week i promised myself i would not let that bother me. So this week I made it a promise that i had to ask at least one choir kid how their week was going and if choir was progressing(which normally I avoided during this week.) i fulfilled that promise :)  Normally hell week is the worst week, everyone is in bad moods and i'm just mad that everyone has attitudes, but not this week. 




This week was GREAT




I didn't get frustrated at all, i had a great week. My week was filled with friendships getting a second chance, getting closer with other friends, and over all just having a great time trying to love people. And now that i'm thinking about it, i'm thanking God. I talked to him 24/7 this week asking for patience and he totally came  through( as always.) I've never taken the time to look how much he does, even though my week could have been stressful...It wasn't. Stress FREE!
