Ok here we go on the Alaska stuff...this post is dedicated, if I can do that, to Laura Hoyer...who told me to do this so there!!! Anyways...Alaska is better (and bigger) than Texas because...hahaha just kidding ashley! But no seriously, the AK is bigger than Texas... Ummm it is drop dead beautiful up there... mountains everywhere you look sparkleing with snow top peaks...pine trees decorating the many vast landscapes... mountain goats along the highway... many little lakes and rivers... the ocean breeze running across the land... the Northern Lights filling up the blacken sky... the stereotypical Christmas picture with freshly fallen snow covering the ground... runninig around in fresh clean un-poluted air while trying to catch snowflakes on your tounge... all these things, and many more make up the AK. What do I love about it most? Heck just about everything... I mean, what's not to love? Just think about it, in the winter there, when you people feel it is insanely cold, you can always sit by the fire after just coming in from outside with your cheeks all rosy and drinking a cup of hot cocoa with mini-marshmellows with a blanket wrapped around you and you feel safe, warm and loved... but down here, in the winter, when we think it is insanely hot, you HAVE to come inside because if you just walk out the door, you are stricken with heat stroke and humidity... you go inside but the AC isn't instant relief, oh no, you have to sit in your muggy sweat untill you dry off. Heck I can barely breath in the super-muggy days... It just goes to prove you can put clothes on to keep you warm but you can't take off all your clothes to make you cool... And it's not just the weather and climate, but the surroundings and people... Granted the people down here are nice and wonderful , the majority of them, but the surroundings, along with the driving, stinks... People can't drive to save their lives, like swerving all over the place and cutting people off all the time... in Alaska, you have to drive safe or else it will cost you your life... if you swerve or cut people off on the ice, it's bye bye for you... and about the surroundings, all these buildings and polluted air makes me feel sick and clastrophobic. I want to be in the open again with the fresh air filling up my lungs and I want land that is still free and not captured and destroyed by humans were I can feel close to God and safe and relaxed. I want to be able to see the sky with every star shining in detail because there are no city lights to shine them out. To me Alaska is a safe-haven. It's just plain and simple HOME. No matter home much it changes or modernizes, I know there will always be open space to enjoy, at least more open space than citified space, and at least while I'm alive... I'll write more about Alaska, but tell me what (if anything) you want to know or hear about...

Hi everyone... remember me...? Before you write evil comments on my blog first let me apologize... I obviously haven't posted in, well, forever... soooooooo... here we go. I know (because I was told so) that you want to hear things about Alaksa, well not Ashley...hehehe, but I think I will save that for my next post, which should be thursday. Right now, I think I should talk about the rules of a friendship...or at least around those lines... Recently, me and Ashley have been having some issues with guys in our life. They just don't understand some things. For instance, when somebody tells you they don't want to go out with you or even like you for that matter, you should believe them the first time! Not wait a day and do it again! Chances are if someone doesn't like you one day, it's not gonna change overnight...even if that person is fickle! I know this all sounds rude and jerkish, but I am fairly upset. Ashley and my mom tell me it's my own fault for talking to this guy too much and being to nice but I don't think so... well maybe... I mean is it wrong to assume a guy can be just a friend and not expect him to like you in that way? I thought it was, but as usual, I was proven wrong. When a guy who you thought was your friend, turns around and asks you out, you (or at least I did so I'm assuming) feel somewhat betrayed. You know you tell this person all these things thinking it's just a friendship, but to them it is more. You feel as though the stuff you told them isn't safe because if they lied to you about this, what else have they lied about? They could've told your secrets to the world and you would never find out... and how are you supposed to act once you find out that this person likes you? You can't just go on having a normal close friendship if your dating relationships mean anything to you... I personally value mine a lot and I don't want ANY GUY thinking we are more than just friends... especially when I don't have a clue about it... thats what gets me really mad, is that they keep it from you... ok, I am gonna stop talking now because I probably sound like a butt-head or whatnot so I apologize to any guys reading this, if any, and I wish you luck in your relationships, if that makes up for it...hahaha

I have no possible idea why little midgets (or kids in Ashley terms) are magnetically attracted to older teens!!! Seriously! VBS was almost deadly with all the sneak attacks from the midgets!!! If you sit down, one will come over and sit on your lap...now that's nice. Ya know, cute and wonderful and you want to take them home with you... But then the "others" come and before you know it there are about 6 of them on you trying to find a spot to sit. Well that doesn't go too well with the first midget who thinks that they should get the squatter's rights to their own lap-person, so then world war 3 breaks out on your lap....what to do???!!! Well that's easy! Just stand up and they fall right off!!! Of course there are the select few that manage to hang on, but hey! They're kids! Just give 'em a little shake and they will/should fall to the ground... Oh and don't worry about pain or injuries... Kid's are tough and they can handle it... Lastly here is a note to all the suffering back rowers who get stuck, obviously, on the back rows during VBS sing and praise time... Move the person in front of you's flag!!! They are too busy trying to contain their midgets that they don't even notice!!! Although, don't let your kids get a hold of any of the flags cause that's when eyes are poked out and heads are used as a drum kit... but otherwise, just lean the flag against the side of the pew or put it under it... problem solved!!! The brilliant mind is at work!!! hahaha there you go Ashley!!! =-)

Inspired by a comment on my blog I think I need to write this post...so here it goes...  When I wrote my last post (the megan-long one) I wasn't angry, bitter, didn't have resentment...I kinda felt real good... It was like that was the last thing I needed to get out of my system and not in an angry way.  If you read it and thought that I sounded bitter, well then I am sorry for it coming across that way because I am sure you will really know when I am mad...hahahaha...anyways, I am not upset at my friend, forgiveness for any hurt she MIGHT have caused, came the minute she did, no grudges are held and no bad feelings are against her.  It's kinda insane that people judge how you feel by an entry in your blog that honestly wasn't meant for bad.  I wrote that last post as a tribute to my friends to come and my friends I have had to leave behind.  NOT to bash or put down one of them.  I am not like that nor will I ever think that degrading my friends on purpose is fun.  Once again, I felt I had to explain that I don't (or ever did) hate my friends, best friends or acquaintances.  The Bible says to love your neighbor as yourself...well I don't hate myself therefore I am certainly not going to hate my friends, they don't deserve it. No one does.  If I claim to be a Christian I have to live by the bible, which I am, so I have to try.  Like James 1:19 "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry," (NIV) so I try super hard not to get angry at worthless little things, which, because I am human, I have failed at sometimes.  I think that might be one of my favorite verses...(my first favorite is Psalms 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." (NIV) that verse is so awesome) anyways, I better go, but first, I saw King Arthur last night with my friends Curtis and Ryan and it was really good going with them...hahaha...they're a hoot!  Way to go guys!!!  See you guys later everyone!!!

Hey everyone!!! So from today on my life is kinda going to be new, fresh and definitely different.  I am kinda excited!!! A day ago, well yeah I'll leave it there, I got some unsettling news from a friend of mine.  As a consequence of that, I had a good let-go cry on the drive home...I did make it home safely Curtis...anyways, I got the old feelings out and now feel refreshed by being able to let go of a holding that just constantly put me out. I don't know if anyone is able to relate to that, but hey, this is my blog...hahaha, sorry.  So now, in a nut shell, I am able to get back to the closeness I had with my oldest friends. I have come to realize that they mean the most to me because they understand me for who I am and they accept me back no matter how many time I go off the loop!!! How awesome is that? They are the most accepting people I have ever known.  All my confidence, understanding or any good quality about me, I got and definitely learned from them.  My "friend" (at the beginning of the post) has let me see my true rocks, the people I care about most.  She has let me see that I have neglected and taken them for granted lately and for that I am truly thankful for her, no sarcasm. But then she also let me see that I don't ever want to let anything bad happen to them.  I understand that I can't prevent hurt coming their way, but I can stop the hurt coming from me... I want to be there for them so they will never have to feel like I have felt, but maybe they need too. I just don't want to do it to them... they don't deserve it for they are to good-hearted.  Anyways, I guess I feel regret for a friend of mine because they were given bad advice recently... I hope they come to realize that, but until then, I will go on living in peace and worry-free of upsetting anyone... not like it was before...  till later!

Hey guys!  Sorry I haven't posted in about forever, but I have been in Arizona on a mission trip w/ Ashley for the last week...I know I could've posted before that, but I was busy and everytime, or almost, I get on a blog on my work comp. it freezes and becomes slow, so I haven't done it in a while.  Anyways, the AZ. trip was a blast!!!! Sure at the beginning it kinda stunk b/c of certain people and we were all just getting used to the new people on the trip, especially the ones from Blairsville, Georgia... but they turned out pretty cool at the end and all the guys from the youth group (all two, 16 and 18) were pretty close to infatuation with ashley...haha, she'll kill me later! Anyways, the trip was so much fun b/c there, from our church, were 3 girls and 3 guys and we got super super close and have about 13 billion inside jokes with each other!!! That's probably too much exclusion for our church youth group to like, but it was there fault they didn't go on the trip (except Alicia) but it was fun...Anyways, gotta go sleep YESS!!! I LOVE YOU UPCHUCK!!!

Hey everyone! It has come to my attention that me or ashley,(i'm pretty sure she hasn't) have never explained how I unfortunatly got the nickname PeeWee!!! This is a disaster so it must be explained...SOOOOO...last time we went camping, before the 4th of july weeekend, we were able to get our best spot, it's called site Big Tree, and as we were having a fun time, we were able to enjoy music from what seemed to be a greatest hits CD from the Eagles, provided by the camp site across the dirt road from us...anyways, we had brought Ruger, ashley's boyfriend, with us and so I guess their little yappy dog, some sort of midget, decided that our camp site was a much better place to pee than his own, so he came over a peed on our camp site!! actually it might have been really close to the tent, so it was weird...anyways, this big haus of a grumpy hispanic guy comes over yelling "peewee! peewee! come back here!" i have no possible idea how that connected with me, i have seemed to forgotten, but ashley and my little bro. thought it was a perfect name for me, so that is how i became PeeWee...did i relay it right Ashley?

Hello people who come to visit my blog...isn't this cool? DooE (my best bud) set it up for me, although I think the buffalo picture has some issues...If you haven't guessed by now I have a thing for buffalos...It all started with a road trip to Houston for a Student Life convention and on the way up there, I saw buffalos grazing on the grass and Ashley thought what I saw was a cow, so she thinks I can't tell the difference b/w a cow and a buffalo...I can...really. So now the big joke is that Peewee loves buffalos, which in all reality I do have a soft spot for them. But come to find out, on the way to Houston, there is and exotic animal wildlife whatever area and they have buffalo in them, so I could've easily be telling the truth, so HA ashley woo-hoo!!! Anyways, my favorite silly song is the "Water Buffalo" one, although I am really liking the brand new one "Sport Utility Vehicles" I think it's a hoot! Gotta go work...grrr...bye!
