Update to my previous post about Bowling Green
A while back I wrote a post about a song I heard on the oldies station one day, (you can read that post here). I finally found the actual song and figured out who sings it and I'm so excited, I just had to share. The Song is called Bowling Green and it's by Glen Campbell, you can find more info about him here and here. Apparently he is famous hits like "Rhinestone Cowboy". Cool stuff I think.

Well According to this...
You've Experienced 52% of Life |
 You have a good deal of life experience, about as much as someone in their late 20s. You've seen and done enough to be quite wise, but you still have a lot of life to look forward to. Regardless of your age, you may feel like you are still getting started. Don't forget to look back at how far you've come. You've traveled a lot further than you might think. |

Good Fruits
This past week attended an awesome retreat for college students called VISON. The retreat is held at Camp Gray in Reedsburg, WI, which is an awesome catholic retreat camp that my brother and sister-in-law are directors of. Anyways at this retreat I learned a lot of great things and I did a lot of thinking and writing..I need a place to put it..and I hope that by sharing this whoever reads it might be able to learn something as well.
At the retreat we focused on the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. The Fruits are:
Love
Kindness
Peace
Gentleness
Faithfulness
Patience
Self-Control
Generosity
I wrote about the things that God inspired me to write about, about the things I need to work on.
~Faithfulness~
God has faith in me?! Wow, what a crazy awesome concept that is. Hearing/knowing/learning that almost makes him more real to me, brings him closer to my level. You always hear that God’s love is endless and that we can’t do anything to mess that up but you never think that his faithfulness is the same way. He loves me but even more than that he has un-ending faith in me, in this creature he made. He knows that with him I can make it through these struggles. Seriously, I can’t get over the fact that the God of Heaven and Earth, the awesome being who created this world puts his faith in me. WOW more than ever now I want to live up to that, I want to live up to all that God has given me. I want that for myself and for all of those around me. I can’t believe it took me until I was 20 years old to get this concept. I can’t wait to share this with my Godchildren so that they can always know this and make wonderful decisions based on this knowledge.
~Patience~
“For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord”-Jeremiah
God, you always share some part of this book with me when I most need it. I always forget about Good ole’ Jeremiah until you smack me in the face with him.
“Just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t me he doesn’t care. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. Just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care. Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers”
-Garth Brooks-Unanswered Prayers
He has it SO right! Just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. WOW Lord, you know your eternal plan for me, show me the way to go and I will follow. I just want to know the way. I love you so much; I will do whatever you ask of me. I want to be your eternally faithful servant. “Lord take my world apart” (Song by Jars of Clay) and put it together the way you want it. I know that following your plan will give me true happiness. You are beautifully selfish, you put me in this earth to have me serve you and then join you again in Heaven. I am the handmaid of the lord; let your will be done in me Lord. Make me like Mary, Eternally faithful, ever yours.
~Self Control~
I want to be more disciplined, I want to be able to fight was my brain wants and do what my heart knows is best for me. I want to live the kind of life I can be proud of, one I would not be ashamed to tell my parents, family, friends, most especially my Godchildren, about. I don’t want to wish I could hide my actions from God. If I keep these things up I know it could destroy my health on all levels. I want so much more than what I’m giving myself. I deserve so much more than what I am allowing myself to have. I want make myself and my God proud but it’s I almost like I can’t fight it sometimes. It’s eating away at me and I know the only way I can begin to get better is with God’s help. I know that I can’t do this alone. My body and mind will never make it without you Lord. I got my tattoo for a reason, Agape means selfless love; it is the opposite of Eros (Lust, sexual love). I don’t what that, I want
~Gentleness~
We talked a lot about how we need to take care of ourselves in order to be good and do good for others…here’s what I wrote after Meghan’s wonderful and inspirational talk:
I want to fight my weakness, I want to understand it. I want to work with it, use it to my advantage. [This is my glass, this is my needle, this is my drug, my longing for love and what it causes me to do.] I wish I wasn’t this way. It started with my curiosity and my imagination and grew into something so strong it is nearly impossible to fight off. So why waist my energy trying to change so much? Instead would it be better to work with what I have, with the circumstances I am in, with the situation I have been given. That’s all well and good but there is one thing missing. I want to know why. Why am I this way? Is it the reason I think it is? Did that happen to me…it would be nice to know for sure…just to have one of those two little words spoken, yes or no. I can forgive, I can make peace but I just need to know for sure…I want to know how these feelings inside me came to be – some people can blame it on genes or the way they were raised. I need to know if I can attribute this to (not blame it on) what this [person] (who we all trusted) might have done to me. My heart is racing right now…I just want to know then I could know where to take it…know why my brain works the way it does, know why I am what and who I am.

Personality Test and lifetime tv
The following link shows the results of a personality test I randomly took tonight...I believe it is pretty accurate...
http://www.41q.com/type.41q?p=14688012
Also, I was watching this show on lifetime today about a teacher having an affair with a 15 year old student and it really made me wonder about what kind of people work for Lifetime tv network...because they always have movies like this...just made me wonder, that's all.
Much love!

Last Weekend's ΩΦΑ Fun
So here are the pictures you have all been asking for, These are from ΩΦΑ formal and Activation last weekend. Formal was a blast, it was Grey's first dance and at first he didn't want to go but we both ended up having a really, really fun time. Activation was awesome, I'm not really allowed to talk about most of it but I cried (happy tears) and it was very special.
This was me being Goofy for a goofy picture..
This was all of us with our letters, I'm in the middle..with the purple hair.
This was all of us at formal, we were supposed to be blowing kisses..I'm the farthest to the left..again look for the purple hair.
This picture is me, My "Big sister" Amanda and My good friend Jessica (aka: Hosscat) We painted these giant wooden letters as a gift to the active members of the sorority
This picture was taken at formal, it was a masquerade so Grey and I wore masks that he and his brother made in Venice. I'm wearing the one Grey made and he is wearing the one his Brother made, it reminds me of Phantom of the opera.
Grey and I looking adorable and normal...He doesn't know how to smile in pictres. Sarah did my hair and it was awesome!! It looked like a bunch of purple roses in the back.
The pledge class has to present a song at activation, we did our own version of the Brady Bunch song and 9 of us got to holdup little boxes like the do on the Brady Bunch, I got to be the bottom, center box.
Well that's about it for now...that is just a smattering of last weekend. I love you all!

Pictures from recent events!
Ok sorry guys they got a little mixed up..These are all from friday. During the day some friends and I went to Nashville and went Ice Skating. Friday night there was a formal at one of the girls in the music depts house. Her name is Caitlin and her dad is my Diction professor, Dr. Pope.
This is me and Sarah Capito. She and I are VERY VERY VERY similar people. She's an awesome person and definately one of my best friends down here.
Me and Keith Kinder. I think this kid is one of the coolest people I have ever meet. I'm his favorite :]
Ok so umm this is me and Drew Givans...a really good song came on and the person taking the picture got excited and moved and I made...that face haha! keep scrolling if you would like to see the rest of Drew's Head.
We were still laughing from the song incident but yeah...Drew is a Junior and a very nice guy who is super fun to hang out with.
This is me and my friend Raeanne. She was one of my first friends at school. She lives 2 doors down from me. Such a sweetheart! (And can I just point out how much I love this picture!)
These girls are amazing! From Left to right, Katherine Britt, Sarah Capito, Me, Emily White (who's house we were at) and Mary-Kate Knight
Zamboni...WOOT!
Me and Amy Farrel. She is a senior and she is the music director for the newman center. We sing at mass together every sunday night. Great person!
10 of us went Ice Skating on Friday. The boys from Left to right, Preston, Josht, Nathan, Paul. Girls from left to right, Me, Sarah C., Valerie Wink, Katherine, Emily, Mary-Kate. These are some of the best people ever. We are all freshman music majors (all but 3 of the boys are vocal majors and we couldn't stop singing songs from our concert thursday night while we were skating) We have all gotten really, really close over the semester. I don't know what better thing could have happened to me down here.
Hope you all enjoyed! Love you VERY VERY much! Can't wait to be home with you guys soon!
