| if you haven't noticed, i'm never on this anymore... | | |
| last night they had bowling for a dollar, so a bunch of us decided to go. but...why just bowl, when you can bowl in 80s garb? well, a group of about 10 of us dressed up in our best 80s gear and went out for a night of bowling...it was so much fun and everbody had a great time. here are some of my favorite pictures. 
the 80s crew 
marcus wasn't 80s...but he had the 80s attitude 
sheldo and me 
last, but certainly not least, the crazy MAC trio! | | |
| so, for many of you this may not make sense, but i think that i'm finally getting it. i mean...i've had conversations with certain people...mostly carolyn and tim...but so i may have "gotten it"and started to work on it...but i'm finally seeing it in practical ways. what is IT? well, mainly that i talk too much, i'm selfish (to put it bluntly), and i tend to see things through "mandy vision" instead of how God would see it. now that i've gotten my head out of the clouds...i realize things are not as it seemed. i don't know how to say it much better, but i'm finally starting to face the music. some friends back home have made me see, that living here at home, it's just generally accepted to live as if things are as what they seem...i mean, it's ok to be irresponsible, immature, and unrealistic. this is not by my parent's standards, but more a general standard for our age. here's what i KNOW (and am realizing over and over again): i am God's child, i am very much single (i see it for the good though...finally), i must mature (both in my thinking and dealings), God is in control. maybe it's just because i'm on break, but i'm being able to sit back and enjoy God's sovereignty...not that i'm lazy, but more realizing there's only so much i can do...which is a good thing. the biggest thing i think is not realizing my circumstances or what i need to work on, but what the ramifications will be. i mean, it's one thing to see it at face value, but another thing that i'll be able to accept everything. this is a bunch of rambling nonsense, so i'm going to stop. i love you guys and miss you so much! | | |
| so...since being home, there's a lot of new stuff going down. i'm working at a new a&w (for me). it's in lansing and the people are completely different than the small town people in grand ledge. we listen to 96.5 ("the official rap & rb station of lansing") all day. it makes for fun times!  i got some new gold fish...i have yet to name them and i'm really desperate to find names, so if you have suggestions, please let me know! i'm running short on creativity. i've got a new hair color...i just died it this morning. it's nothing that crazy, but it's a darker brown. i got a new haircut this morning. it's simple and nothing exciting, but new none the less. what else is new? new bed sheets, new coat, and new windshield wipers (much needed at that). i just got off the phone with carolyn. it was soo good to talk to her. it made me realize that i'm a lame friend and i haven't called or talked to anyone...so, for that, i'm sorry. but i'm enjoying my time home. spending time with friends and family. i can't wait to be back in new york, but i'm soaking in every moment here. lots of love | | |
| i'm back here in michigan. it's been really good to spend time with family. i have yet to spend time with family, but i'm getting there. i was able to see my brother and spend time with norine (his girlfriend). it's been 6 months since we were all home together!!! not much to say, but i'm glad to be home. i love and miss all my friends, but i'm very thankful for this time at home. hope to hear back from you! | | |
