me, a morning person?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
How is life treating you all? All of the sudden, I feel very disconnected from people. Yesterday my mom made the comment that I have been home more than usual this break. I don't really know why that is. Some of it may be that I live by a lot of my friends and some of it may be that I don't hang out with people that aren't in Navs (staff or otherwise) very often. Goodness. Has anybody else experienced this? Is it normal post-college friend shifts or is it something else? I am curious.
I got up this morning and went shopping with the crowds at 7 a.m. I bought a gift for Jon that was a GREAT price. I was so excited. Then, in my excitement I told him how much it cost. Silly girl! Also, I was so tired I went to sign my name and actually signed my moms instead! That was when I knew I wouldn't make it as a post-thankgiving shopper.

gmail
Tracy and I chatted tonight about how much we love gmail and want to post about it so I thought I would do so.
Reasons I love gmail:
1) Lots of storage
2) They group messages into "conversations" so you dont have to look up old messages when reading a reply
3) They have a search feature- so much easier than flipping through old emails
4) They let you stay signed in on your computer
5) It does the math on how long ago an email was sent or receieved for you and tells you (sent 2 hours ago etc.)
6) Archiving is good
7) The spam filter is very handy
That is all for now. I heart gmail!

The white beaches and the white snow
So what do these two things have in common? Well , they are both things that I experienced in the last week. Have you ever been to Florida? The beaches are pure white. It was SO beautiful.
Ya'll I had a GREAT weekend away. It was really enjoyable to be in FL and it was SO fun to meet the parents in South Carolina too. I am glad to be back but I kinda miss being gone and being there. The cold may also kill me.
Wow, there is so much to report about what went on while I was gone. As for the conference, it was a really good time to just spend time with other people. One thing God really taught me was about the fear I have in approaching him. I learned that it is because I have a hard time trusting him that He is good and will make good decisions with my life. I also realized that fear is not from God. Both of those lessons were good.
At the EDGE summit, we had a day of prayer with our national prayer director and that was also amazing. Basically we just shared how we were doing with each other and prayed. That was refreshing.
South Carolina was also a GOOD time. I met Jon's parents and both of his brother's families. There was 3 kids under 3 years old around everytime we got together which was surprisingly really fun for me. I had a lot of fun playing with the oldest one (I think she is 3). She is such a girl and she is a ton of fun. I was just thinking about how people can ever hurt kids. I would seriously go nuts if I found out that anyone ever hurt her she is SO precious (and I've only hung out with her twice).
We went to Charleston on Saturday and that was breathtaking. The city is beautiful and old. It reminds me so much of a stereotypical southern city. It was also probably the best date of my life (and the longest- some 13 hours or so). There was a car ride, a couple good seafood meals, walking on the beach, swinging on porch swings and getting homemade candy at the candy store. I miss it already.
There ya have it folks. Oh wait, I did get some bad news this weekend. I found out that I still need to rasie approx. 6900 dollars to make my budget for Navs. ICK!!!! But it was cool that God had already raised some and had it waiting for me when I got back from FL!
