sparkly wonders that we miss...

Recently, I have been feeling the want to be pursued. Of course, it is only amplified by this beautiful fall weather. So many times, either when talking with my girlfriends or just marinating by myself, I have said...I want a boyfriend! Like every girl on this earth, I want to be loved romantically! However, by searching for a earthly love, I put on hold the only everlasting love relationship that I will ever have...with the Lord. It hit me that all along, I was being romanticized. 
How many times a day do we pass God up? How many times do we forget that everything that we delight in was put there by the Lord? It is weird to think that God uses those beautiful moments to romance us. I mean HELLOO, have you ever thought about it? He does not give us just roses that will die or chocolates that will be eaten in the next 2 days (although boys those are nice...). He gives us the moments that delight our hearts and help us to love life! Girls, we have the most romantic Being alive trying to win our love! How glorious is that? 
My love moments:
*giggling with my friends
*the quietness of nighttime underneath a plethora of stars
*hot green tea in front of an old movie
*scarves, vests, and fuzzy socks on a cold day
*a day at Barnes N' Noble reading
* peppermint hot cocoa with the colorful fall leaves gently drifting down
....see?? God is love.

So through this epiphany, I guess I can finally say that I am totally and completely satisfied with being single. This is my period of singleness...or should I say decade...haha!

Crazy, crazy me.

So, I do not know if it is safe for me to have a actual published website full of the wonders and adventures and questions that I have. BUT guess what!? I GOT ONE! So, first, I would like to say to all that some of the things that you read should not be tried at home or really...in your entire life. 
Recent adventure: Got my foot ran over by a car.
Yes. You read right. I know the question that is amplifying itself in your head right now...HOW??!!??! Well, it was a chilly Thursday night on the fatal day of the 2nd of October 2008. Me and a couple of friends decided to go on over to Big Tree. Big Tree= A Big Tree in the middle of nowhere. We were on the way back when I was like "Oh No I think I lost my phone at Big Tree!" So we go on back and we arrive, well I am very very anxious to find my phone so I get out a second two early. My foot is down with my heel up and my toes down (you know in the form that it is when you just step out of something). The car wheel rolls over my heel, forcing my foot to hyperextend itself. I hope that no one experiences the sickening popping and pain of this. I started to hit the front seat saying very urgently "Back up! Back up! Back up!" My guy friend Tyler, saw the shock on my face and knew. When the car backed up, therefore releasing my foot from its painful prison, I collapsed onto the seat immediately starting to cry. By cry I mean a forced cry. No moisture. I thought that if I cried, the pain would go away. So, the sock (of course the one that has been worn like 2 days in a row and OF COURSE I have fuzz on my foot) is taken off and it is downright obvious that something was not right with my foot. I mean unless that huge bump was something that I just missed before. They insist on taking me to the hospital, but me being my stubborn self (with a tint of shock) insisted that they look for my phone. I feel like that whenever I really need my phone, it is always either at home or lost. They did not find it. I go to the hospital. By the time I get there, I am totally fine or I might have been totally in shock...who knows. There was a police man there and I just started talking to him like we were in there for a common check-up. He got into a knife fight. SUCH a better story then mine! So I got to take two people back into the forbidden zone of the hospital. I chose Emily and Tyler. Back in the back, I was given the dreaded hospital gown. Yes, the one that is open in the back. I swear, the one time that I have on disgusting socks, and uncolorful "undergarments", I get my foot run over! At least I wasn't commando or something right? Anyways, I get my foot Xrayed and the doctor comes in...NOTHING WAS BROKEN!!! My foot looked like a sausage and nothing was broken! Yes, that was definitely a God moment. I was on crutches for a couple of days and it turned (and still is) a dark grey on my entire foot. However, I am walking! Get you, i wont be running a marathon any time soon... :) So yeah...story ended.
