For All You Psych-os.
If any of you watch the tv show Psych... this is for you. Well, if you are up to date with the show, Shawn and Juliet are together. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with it. What are your thoughts? I'd love to know, so if you could comment on this post what you think of the couple.
Thanksgiving #12
I am thankful for scripture. Within the last few months, God has really been showing me things in his word that I have never seen before. I read thru the book of Matthew, and now I am almost done with the book of Mark. I read one chapter at a time, and every time I read it, something new is revealed.
He also reveals it other ways as well. I was drinking coffee here (here is GG and Don's house) and I had a Thomas Kinkade coffee mug, and it had Matthew 6:21 on it. Well, I did what my dad tells me to do, and not only read that verse but read the others around it. So I read that section in my Bible, and I have really been meditating on it.
Look it up yourself: Matthew 6:19-26.
God is so good to show me things in the weirdest ways. Isn't he good?

Thanksgiving #11
I am thankful for laughter. I'm going thru a different season at the moment... and it's not the easiest. Tonight, I watched a movie with my grandparents called Life With Father. I watched it with the Bishop's when I spent the night on Tuesday, and it was pretty funny. And yesterday I found it on Netflix and watched it with GG and Don tonight. It's a movie that was made in the 50's and it's pretty funny. It was great to sit here and laugh with them. Something I really needed.
Well, time to settle down for the night. Football tomorrow... and I won't be able to watch. Atleast it's Auburn's bye week. War Eagle!

My Way Up
Well, as most of you know, I'm in Virginia for a week. I flew up by myself for the first time ever... and it was quite an adventure.
I woke up at 3am to finish packing anything I needed to get ready before I had to leave, such as tooth brush, hair things, etc. And around 4:15, my wonderful father was so kind to take me to the airport. I was shocked at how many people were on the road at 4 in the morning.
Well, when I got to the airport, I checked in, said my goodbyes to my dad, and got in line for the security check. Once again, there were a lot more people than I expected to see that early in the morning.
When I got up to be checked, they stopped me and took me to the side to be checked even further. They also took my bag to look thru, and asked if I had any weapons. I said no, and they took my bag back thru the scan. Do I really look that suspicious?
Every thing after that was smooth, I even was able to put my bag in the over head with no help. Yay me. The ride was a little bumpy tho, and at one point I thought the flight attendants were going to fall over with the cart.
Arriving in Atlanta, we entered a storm, lightning and crazy wind. And as we were landing, I saw one building of Airtran planes, and another with Deltacom with 3 Airtran planes at the very end. I was hoping none of those were my plane, but guess what? It was. When I entered concourse c (in Brian Regan's voice), 15 minutes early than I was suppose to, I asked the lady where I was taking off. She told me in the building next door, concourse d. I looked at my ticket and my plane was leaving at 8:45 and it was 8:10. So I pretty much ran, flollowing the signs leading me to concourse d. I thought about taking the sub, but it wasn't there yet. So I took off. When I got to concourse d, one way was gate 1-16, the other 17-what ever it was... and it started at D16, and I needed to get to D1a (and if you have never been to the Atlanta airport, I couldn't see more than 5 gate signs at a time. That's how big it was.) Once I got to D1, it said departing for Indianapolis at 8:45. Part of me freaked, the other part of me was thinking, "ok, I packed 2 of my Colts shirts, I could just go there and stay till next Monday, and see the Colts play." I then saw the D1a gate at the very end that said departing to Richmond. And right when I got there they were boarding zone 1. I was able to call my mom and GG before boarding myself. As I was standing there, the two men behind me were talking about Auburn, and I was sooooo tempted to turn around and say "war eagle", but the way they were talking, they didn't seem like fans. They were talking about how well they are playing tho... but I didn't say anything.
My second flight was not much better than the first. I was able to sleep for about 15 mintues, but it was more bumpy than the last. The captain kept turning the seatbelts sign on and off. Both flights I had a window seat, and on the second you could totally tell you were headed up north, beacuse all the trees went from green, to red, orange, and yellow. It was so pretty from above, and I was reminded God made all that.
Coming in at 10:30, landing was a little rough, and when I got outside, it was freeeeezing. I was so glad to have my Under Armour hoodie. GG pulled up and it was so good to see her.
It's been refreshing to be here with my family. Monday I spent the day with GG and Don, and also saw the Kury's. And Tuesday I spent it with the Bishops till last night. Today I'm going shopping with the White girls and Jone will be sleeping over tonight. I'm so thankful for my friends and family.

Thanksgiving #10
I am thankful for coffee. I'm not sure what it is about drinking coffee that is so good... but it is. It's bitter and strong... and the way I drink it, it's not sweet at all. Now, if I go to Starbucks (which I do a lot) I do get sweet drinks, such as a Caramel Macchiato or a Mocha Frappuccino. But just drinking it at home, I just take half and half. It's very enjoyable to drink, and it brings much comfort. I'm glad God made the coffee bean.

Thanksgiving #9
Today, I'm thankful for my bed. Last year my grandparents gave my parents their kings size bed, and I was given my parents queen. And I have never slept in another bed that is more comfortable. It feels like you are sleeping on clouds. And the funny thing is, it's over 10 years old. When I had my twin, I had a lot of back trouble, but now, nothing. It's way better than a tempur pedic bed I've slept on.
When I move out, I'm gonna sneak it out, cuz mom and dad said I can't have it.

Needing God's Help
Hey friends,
Please pray for me. I must say, I'm getting a little scared about flying Monday morning. Going alone is making me nervous. My first plan leaves at the crack of dawn... and on the 22nd, I leave late at night. Please pray that God will be wiht me and keep me safe. And everything goes smoothly.
Also pray for me to trust God with my life. The last few days have been really hard. Today, has been a little better, but I really need God's help... I know I can't do this alone.
On another note... War Eagle!

I am thankful for Zyrtec. One again, this may sound weird, but it's true. If you know me really well, you know that I hate taking medication, for anything. But the reason I'm on Zyrtec is for Snuggs. That's love. But if I wasn't on medication, I would have allergy attacks. My eyes would swell up and water, I would sneez none stop, and I would get very ichy... this is all because of my cat. But Zyrtec is the only allergy medicine I have found to work, and keep my allergies at bay. And this is why I am very greatful... I can enjoy my cat while I have him.

Thanksgiving #7
Today I am thankful for sports. I know this may sound weird... but I am. It's something in my life that does not really change. Yes, the team's roster may change every year, but the team doesn't change. Like the Indianapolis Colts have been the Indianapolis Colts since 1984. And as far as I know, will not move again. I've been a fan since 2006, and they have not really changed. The day Peyton Manning retires will be a sad day indeed (I'm sure I will cry), but when that day comes... they will still be my Colts.
Same with the LA Lakers, they have been my team since 2001, and Miami Heat, have been my other team since 2002. (I do have 2 NBA teams....)
But for me, sports aren't just an enjoyment to watch, it's therapeutic. I can go shoot basketball or mess around with a soccer ball, and it's very soothing. Not sure why... but it is. I know I'm weird, but while I'm shooting the basketball, I use that time to pray. I guess because I was commited to basketball for 5 years strait, season or off season, holding and shooting a basketball is something familiar to me. Whether I'm in Richmond, VA or Pensacola, FL... it still feels the same.
Even tho my life is changing, the games never change.

Hawaiian Chicken
Thursday nights are now my dinner nights, and I want to try new things. Then I had the idea to blog about the new meals I make. Something to look forward to every week.
Tonight was my first night in my adventure of making new things. I made Hawaiian Chicken, along with rice, sauteed green beans, and fresh french bread.
The sauce is a combo of;
- 3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup ketchup (yes, I made something with ketchup)
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 Tbs cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
When that is brought to a boil, you pour it over the chicken (3 whole check breast, cut in half, skinned) and cook it for a total of an hour and a half. The recipe didn't call for this, but I put pineapple rings on top of the chicken. (And I did double it for 5 adults and 2 kids.)
This was a major hit in our family... even the littles liked it. Score!
