I probably shouldn't be posting on here, but I just can't help it. I need to blog!

Even though I don't want to feel like a copy cat, I kinda like this random thoughts blogging idea. I have a bunch of random stuff going on in my head right now, and it would be nice to get it all out. So, here it goes...

Went shopping for wedding decorations with Andrea (future sis-in-law) and Stacey (big sis) today. We had a blast. We got everything we needed and stayed within our budget. I'm sooo looking forward to this wedding, but I don't really know why. First off, the ceremony itself is going to be amazing. It is so perfectly Andrea and Mike. From the simple decorations, to the music that they're playing, it is going to be awesome! For all you Further Seems Forever fans, she is walking down the aisle to "New Year's Project"! How awesome is that!! Plus, I've gotten to know Andrea really well over the last month or so and I just love her so much! I'm so excited about having her as my new sis! And the reception is going to be sooo much fun!! It is just all around going to be a great, romantic, perfect wedding!

I've decided to change my major from Religious Studies to Elementary Education. I have been debating auditioning for the School of Music, but decided against it. I've been working in Children's Church over the last month, and I've forgotten how much I love kids. I actually think I may want to be a Children's Minister someday. I dunno. I do know that I love kids and I really think that Elementary Ed is what I want to do. So, this is a good thing in a way. At least I have an idea as to what I want to do. I'm probably going to have to go to school an extra year or so, but I guess it's worth it in the end. I just hope this is the last time I change my mind about my major. It probably won't be...

Over the past few weeks, I've been expanding my musical horizons, if you will. I've been listening to a ton of new stuff and I love it! I've fallen in love with music in a way I've always wanted to. I could just sit and listen to music all day long! I've discovered so many new bands that I never knew existed, and I love them! It seems like I'm able to find a song for every mood that I'm in. I just can't really describe it...I just love music!Here's a list of the bands that I have discovered are absolutely amazing:

Matchbook Romance - totally my new favorite band. They are amazing!
Autopilot Off
Copeland - yes, they are totally and completely the most emo band I have ever heard, but I love them!
Jack Johnson
Josh Kelley - be still my heart... ;)
Motion City Soundtrack
Yellowcard - amazing
Over the Rhine - one word..WOW...big thanks goes out to Andrea for first introducing me to the wonderful music of Over the Rhine :)
Ryan Adams
Story of the Year
Sugarcult
The Killers
Graham Colton

Those are the ones that stick out in my mind as my new favorites, but I still have many more to listen to...

BBQ sandwiches from DQ rock!!! Mmmmmm....

I've decided that this summer is the last summer working in the fast food business. Four years is long enough, almost too long...

Excited about the Michael W. Smith, MercyMe, and Dave Crowder Band concert I'm going to next week. Should be tons of fun.

I need to make an appointment to get my oil changed in my car.

I have one week to plan a bridal shower. This should be fun...

I need to start exercising again.

My little brother Dusty got a job at DQ and should be starting in the next week or so. I hope I get to train him. I hope we don't end up hating each other after working together. Not quite sure how this will go...

I love my friends...

Sometimes I wonder why I do some of the things I do. I do some things that I know I shouldn't do, and I don't do the things I know I should do enough. This needs to change...

Am I selfish?...

Just a little over two weeks till my mission trip to Venezuela. I'm getting a little nervous, but still excited. I have a lot to get ready over the next two weeks. Please keep me and the five other people going with me in your prayers from July 23 to August 2. :)

I love metrosexuals...

I love the fact that no matter how crappy things get in my life, I have the hope and assurance that God already has it all worked out. He's going to take all this stuff and work it all out. I just need to put my faith and trust in him. I actually taught this in Children's Church the other week and I ended up kinda preaching to myself. If I had things my way, I would change a lot of things in my life. But, God's in control, and I'm cool with that. His way isn't necessarily they way that I would like things to go, but I guess He knows better than I. ;) But seriously, God has a plan for me, a plan to prosper, not to harm me, a plan to give me a hope and a future. And I like knowing that.:)

This has turned out to be a really long post of random thoughts...Well, I guess it's time to go. Leave a comment if you're feeling saucy. ;)
