If You say go,
we will go
If You say wait,
we will wait
If You say step out on the water
and they say it cant be done
We'll fix our eyes on You
and we will come
Your ways are higher than our ways
And the plans that You have made
are good and true
If You call us to the fire
You will not withdraw Your hand
We'll gaze into the flames
and look for You
very nice song.

so when you are eating a sandwich, it usually tastes better if you take the little papers off the cheese. yesterday i was sitting here, eating a really good sandwich, then i took a bite that tasted kinda weird, and i was like eww that tastes kinda weird, and its hard to chew. and i chewed and chewed and thought, this is disgusting. then i saw the paper sticking out of my sandwich. gross. so just a tip for ya.
my fam came down this weekend. whoop! we enjoyed a little koppe bridge and JCody's bbq and the fightin texas aggie football game. that wasnt the way i'd thought the game would go, but wow what a fun time. i really didnt think we deserved to win, the way we played, but i sure am glad that we did. the weather was blah though, i mean seriously its been in the high 80s here in C.S. all week. is it almost november or are we stuck in september some how?
"i sure hoped it would rain. this shirt needs to be washed." -mark at the football game.
in fact, all the guys were definitely wearing their swim suits w/ their maroon out shirts, just in case it happened to rain.
sunday night i stayed up all nite working on a computer program. mark is my new hero for staying up most of the nite helping me with it. too bad the program specifications had fatal errors in them. which we discovered when we went to class. ohh the frustration. but its cool, i've got it pretty much up and running, and hey, gotta keep perspective on this stuff. i do believe thats the first time i've ever stayed up all nite for the purpose of school work. usually, if i'm up all nite its because i'm out having fun, and if i have hw due, i just forget it. i need my sleep.
so yah, yesterday is pretty much a blur b/c i was so sleep deprived. in fact, hahahaha i tripped going up the stairs in wehner. yep. hahaha. smoothness.
yikes, i gotta go to anthropology class and watch some movie there.

ya, i definitely got this email today:
We are back home this weekend for the first time in three weeks, and our team is still talking about the last home game when you caused Kansas State some problems that helped us win. I have a simple request -please come back and do it again.I’m told that there’s room for a few thousand more up there across from our bench. We’ve never won against Colorado at Kyle Field in two tries, and after them we have two of our ranked Big 12 South rivals coming to town, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. You will be a great help to us by cramming into the stands and yelling with even more volume than K-State experienced.The coaching staff, the players, and I are sincerely grateful for and proud of having over 23,000 students at our home games--more than any place else in college football--standing, yelling and, we hope, kissing often, from start to finish. “The Home of the 12th Man” at Kyle Field is crunk. (I try to learn from players...)
Gig ‘em!Coach Fran
nice.

there's something in me that longs to be different
while the rest cries out to be the same.
i dont know what its like
to care about just one thing
to hear a small voice
in a crowd thats roaring
to turn from all that draws me
and live for the One who calls me
suddenly everything i noticed
didnt seem all that big
all the loves i'd been pursuing
faded away into just this
to seek You, to find You
to hide myself
and show You

so a lot has been going on since my previous post. i ended up going to west texas for the weekend, marking my 3rd friday in a row of skipping classes. i would seek to make it a month of classless fridays, but alas, i have 2 tests this friday, so i suppose i will attend. my brother & his fiancee had a couple wedding showers on saturday, that i went to, and so that was yay fun, and i did some bridesmaid duties, because, i am, of course, a good bridesmaid like that. friday & saturday i got to see some good friends from midland, which rocked. gotta love that place. and, wow, the aggies kicked osu in an amazing game. the only thing that made that game more amazing was that i was eating ROSAS during the middle of it (whoop!) and that i was watching it with some people that are perhaps my favorite people in the world.
on the way home from midland, we had a little blow out near big spring, about 30 miles into our trip. it being a sunday afternoon, of course most places were closed. thankfully the walmart was open, but of course there was a 2 hr wait, naturally. we ended up buying a tire there, and taking it down to a truck place to be put on, and hopefully saved some time in there somewhere. we ended up getting back late. perhaps it was these circumstances though, that led us to develop an exciting fun new hobby. ladies & gentlemen, let me introduce you to texas roadside assistance, if you are not familiar. the number is on the back of your drivers license, and oh is it fun. we saw a poor man (or a rich man, i'm not sure) walking along the road, we think his car had broken down. we didnt stop, because it was dark, and that would be dangerous. besides, we had no physical room in the car for him. BUT we did our civil duty, and called texas roadside assistance, who sent a state trooper to go see if this man needed some help. and we felt very good about ourselves. bree then spent the rest of the trip looking for more things to call in. yes, a truly exciting hobby if you are ever driving on the road and are bored. i believe the number is 1-800-525-5555.
lets see. i heard a lot of funny quotes this weekend. but i didnt write most of them down, sadly. however, i have some from some classes and a few from this weekend, that i will share. i hope that you enjoy them and have a great evening. and GO ASTROS, that game last nite was incredible. and i got a new cell phone. finally. yay for me. i am no longer self conscious about my cell phone that takes two hands to hold up to my ear. just kidding. but do yall remember those things? most of you know that i'm also a little self conscious about my major. well, on monday i decided to indulge in a chic-fil-a sandwich rather than my usual brownbag lunch (and yes, i do indeed pack my lunch in a brown bag, naturally) and as i was walking through that building on west campus where the lunch place is located, i happened to notice a girl reading a book entitled 'pictoral anatomy of cats'. and suddenly i didnt feel so badly about my major after all.
"today is your final day before destiny....in other words, your test is on tuesday." -bryant
"we have a lot to go through, so we need to go like.....a hellican. haha." --bryant
"nevertheless, they all died." --bryant
"usually you buy your first wife. that gives you prestige. then you just steal the rest of them" --bryant
"imagine an alien from another planet who lands on earth after a nuclear holocaust has destroyed all life but has left undamaged terrestrial libraries and archives." --the opening statements of ch 4 of my anthropology textbook (what?!?! i refuse to imagine this situation because it is absurd)
"i meant to bring the 5 dollars i found in my pants." --bree
"i was prematurely exiting the function. i dont know what i was thinking." --will (a little info humor for ya)
"anyway, back to the point....i forgot what the point was. o yeah. the class doesnt speak much so i was comparing yall to mutes." --mike hnatt
"its kinda like what you were saying....what were you saying?"--reutzel
"sharon? i think if she said she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit people would believe her." --matt (uhh, yeah, thanks matt)
"yeah, any time we were in trouble we had to stand up and hold our instruments overhead, so of course the flutes were like eh, and the tubas were like ugggh." --bree, remembering old band days
"she tells me 'you're the best person i know'.....and thats pretty sad."
"alrite, alrite. i forget its the class that is mute." --hnatt

so i had the "bright" idea to change up the look and feel of my blog. in doing so, i managed to lose all the comments posted and also my little counter down at the bottom. i'm sad. from now on i will seek to satisfy my craving for change in other avenues, not this blog.
two things happened today. 1 being i went to class, the other being i wrote down a few quotes (!). so here they are:
"even today Roman numerals are viewed as sexy. try putting on them your wedding invitations and everyone will think, wow this person must be very important. they will have to go look it up in the dictionary to know what you are talking about." --bryant. (i dont think i'll pass this on to my brother and his fiancee, tempted as i am)
"he [leonardo pisano fibonacci] is best known today for his famous Fibonacci sequence (f1=f2=1, fn+1=fn+fn-1), he developed it to explain how rabbits multiply, but now it is most used to predict things in finance." --from bryant's power point slides (what kind of sickos make up junk like this?!?)
"you know the story, leave a couple rabbits, come back in a few years and you have a million of them. if you dont believe it, ask the Australians." --bryant
yep, so that was my exciting anthropology class today. in other news.....
i ordered new eyeglasses today.....
i applied to be a substitute teacher in Bryan ISD, haha "teacher sharon"...
anyone who's read 'The Great Divorce' by C.S. Lewis, shoot me an IM...
group projects are annoying. i'm stuck with 3 of them this semester...
a&m creeped into the polls. HA to you doubters...
i still havent gotten my stinkin new student ID card...
i did, however, get my new license plates...
note: if anyone ever rips your license plate off, just go by your county tax office, the same place you register your car at, take in your license plate that is hopefully left, fork over $6.30 and voila, you will receive new plates. do not however, think you can pay with a Visa or Mastercard check card b/c this is unacceptable. you will have to get cash out of the atm, and unless you bank with First American Bank, you will be charged $1.75. consider this a public service announcement
ezekiel 16 is a way cool chapter, you should check it out...
(v24---does God approve of nose rings?!?!! :-) )
You say You can do more than I imagine
and my dreams are pretty big
All I've ever hoped for
and everything I need
is found in losing me.
Its time to take the test and see
just where my faith is taking me.
I'll follow though I cant see with my eyes,
I know its Your hand thats leading me.

so i had another incredible weekend. eveyln and i participated in an outreach survey deal with the church on friday nite, and wow what a craazy deal. we met some interesting characters and dealt with some frustration, and overall things turned out alrite i think.
my family was here for yesterday and today and i had a blast with them. i hadnt seen them all semester, so thats quite a long time. my extended fam was in town to, we were having a baby shower for my aunt. a 6hr baby shower. yep, us josefys, we now how to throw a kickin party, let me just tell ya.
a song thats really been on my heart this weekend is 'o praise him' by david crowder. the first verse talks about:
turn your ear to heaven and hear
the noise inside
the sound of angels awe
the sound of angels songs
and all this for a King
we could join and sing
all to Christ the King
and the second verse talks about:
turn your gaze
to heaven and raise
a joyous noise
the sound of salvation come
the sound of rescued ones
and all this for a King
angels join to sing
all for Christ our King
and theres other parts, talking praising the Lord because He's holy.
turns out one of my friends from midland, her dad got killed in a car wreck yesterday. when i found out last nite, i was really crushed with just the pain she must be going through. and listening to my friend who was with her when it happened, just share the difficulty of walking through that with someone. its not something i understand, and hope that i never have to understand. but in the midst of that, and knowing the hope and peace that will prevail in their family because of Christ, i was struck with the thought that her dad is in heaven now. in one moment he was with us, longing to join in with the angels. and now he's there, singing with them, experiencing the presence of the Lord on a level we can only long for until the day that He takes us to Himself as well. and that is the sweet hope we have in Christ that makes it worth getting up tomorrow, and every day after that, striving to live a life that pleases Him, until we too join that massive multitude around the throne of God.
Revelation 7......
after this i looked up and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the the throne, and to the Lamb"....
these are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes...

so i had a really good weekend. friday night i went with the business honors association down to houston. we got a really cool tour of minute maid park and watched the astros game. fun game, and i'm glad they clinched a playoff spot today, even if i couldnt keep my eyes open past the 4th inning. but friday's game rocked and it was a fun trip down to houston, my fourth time down there since school started, believe it or not. once to help bree find her wedding dress, once for an awesome jeremy camp concert, once to lead worship, and then to the astros game. phew.
saturday i went to the a&m game, which was awesome time. we had incredible seats too, south 30yd line, row 4 on 2nd deck. beautifulness. i was so excited we won! my throat hurts really bad today though.
some interesting quotes:

Evelyn totally rocks my world!! I've never met a brazilian i liked better. :)
--Paul, in Philippians 1:20-21
"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed but now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain."
**The opposite of shame is honor. For most of us, if we feel shame, the opposite would be that we would feel honored.
**But Biblically, the opposite of feeling shame would not be that we would feel honored, but that Christ would be honored.
**What you love determines what you feel shame about.
--Christine Hoover, teaching on magnifying Christ through pain and death
"Perhaps your greatest problem is not that you don't know the will of God, but that you are unwilling to do it." --Pastor Tim Owens

i was fully convinced that today was thursday. imagine my surprise when i discovered it was indeed wednesday.
i have a few quotes, but they aren't the best. be patient, i'm getting back in the habit of listening for them.
"basically, the zebra personality sucks." -bryant
"if you suffer from bad diseases your bones will tell the tale" -bryant
"what is mutation? its when you make 1000 xerox copies and 1 of them comes out a little fuzzy" - bryant
"well, thanks, it wasn't really my idea. Dr Welch was telling us how to teach, and he said do this, because otherwise you could totally suck at teaching and not even know it. at least if you do this you know you suck." - c reutzel, regarding our midterm teacher evaluations
"we're gonna start off with putting this round circle in the middle...well i guess thats what a circle is, round." - d whitcomb
"i dropped my electric razor in the toilet" - marcus, yeah, you'll have to ask him about it
only when you're in college do you...
1. go to bed at 2 and still get 8 hrs of sleep
2. pay $400 for books you dont want to read
3. take naps in the afternoons
4. get irritated if class lasts 1 min longer than it should, after you got there 5min late
5. become extremely confused as to what they are asking for when they say 'your address'

so i'm back in texas. i had an incredible, incredible summer in oregon. seriously, there are no words to describe all that the Lord taught me and that He did this summer. and the people there, rock my face off. hi quality people. i miss them.
here i am back at texas a&m, enjoying my senior (?!?!?!?!?!) yr. yes, the current plan is to indeed go ahead and graduate in may i suppose. i was hoping to give quotes from my classes again this yr, but they are just not as conducive. I will make an attempt though.
So let me introduce you to my profs:
i have mrs. della whitcomb for 2 classes, oddly enough, both Complex Business Application design in VB.NET and Systems Analysis and Design. she is the nicest nicest lady i have met at texas a&m. she says cool things sometimes.
i have a phD student chris reutzel for Strategic Mgmt, also a nice fellow, but pretty cut and dry.
also i have mr mike hnatt, of info 210 fame. i am taking web development class with him. he is hilarious and an awesome guy. today he described his thyroid problem to us, after which he said, 'why you tell 50 people you dont know that story, i'll never know..." i dont know either but those things he does randomly share w/ us, will probably make up the majority of these postings.
i also, for anthropology 205, have mr. bryant. dr. bryant? i'm not sure. we had a guest lecture for the first few weeks till the first test. this is the boringest class ever. hopefully bryant will have some funny things to say.
anyway, thats a look at my 15 hours. this past weekend i went w/ a group from the church down to houston to lead worship. chris hoover, our music minister over at FBC Bryan, is the world's funniest man, i think. i was laughing pretty much the entire way there and back. 2 quotes from him to close out this post:
"yeah, yeah, omnipresence is Him being everywhere at once, omniscient is where He is all knowing, omnipotent is where He is all powerful, and omish is where you make wooden furniture."
"i'm convinced that dolphins are really aliens ready to take over the world, they're just waiting to get it all figured out. in fact, they simply lack arms. once they figure that out, i think they'll take over."
other random catching up type things,
on thursday i got my fightin texas aggie class ring....whoop! my roommate megan then surprised me w/ a ring dunking party on sunday. whoop again!
somebody stole my license plate off my car on friday nite while i was gone in houston and it was parked in the ghetto of Bryan--the FBC Bryan parking lot. seriously, it stinks. i did some investigating and apparently I can get a new one for $6.50. so yeah, just go to the Dept. Of Transportation (texas, not ptts) website and go to FAQ's and you'll find it and the number and all that. there, now ya know what to do if someone steals your stinkin license plate.

tonite my pastor and his wife, my friend and i solved all the worlds problems. it was fun. seriously, it was an incredible time of conversation that i was sad had to end...i love to hear about God's faithfulness and to be challenged by those who have walked so many years with the Lord. i guess for me it just kept coming down to praising the name of the Lord. He is so faithful to us and His greatness and knowledge are so much more than we can fathom. It makes me excited to be alive and to be His child. And to know that He has it all under His competent control just makes things so much less stressful.
if i could sum up one thing the Lord has taught me this year, He taught me about the body of Christ. He taught me how to build up, how to allow others to build me up, how to pass on His teachings, how to be there for others in times of need, how to encourage one another. Yes, I saw the body of Christ at work at my church, in our Upstream group, in my friendships. I know its real and I know it works and that makes me excited.
i finally lined up some things to do this week that should be fun...a little basketball, a little babysitting, a little eating with others, a little bit of baseball, a little hanging out with friends. let me know how you guys are doin, enjoyin the break and such...

so i have completed my second year at texas a&m. i have conquered mrs. p's class...i was sorta sad as i handed in my final. it was a fine class. i finally met conant as i was leaving that final exam...it was a touching moment, to speak with a man who has provided so many laughs to so many people. not to mention, i learned a lot about marketing from him. i just saw that i made an A in his class, with only 4 points to spare. phew.
now i am chilling in midland after spending mon nite in graham with my dad. the fam heads to graham for good june 1. i have done absolutely nothing for the past 2 days. in fact, yesterday i never even went anywhere in my car. the only time i left the house was when i went for a walk in the afternoon. what can i say, i'm a bum. tonite i went and watched my little brother Jared, whom we affectionately refer to as JRod, play his baseball game. they lost, but i must say i do enjoy little league baseball games. on saturday i'm going with my parents to watch him play with his select team in a tourney in abilene. in a couple weeks the whole fam is going to watch him play in ruidoso and stay a couple nites....i will be at summer missions orientation in dallas, naturally. thanks fam. oh well. i'm pumped about oregon coming up.
i must say though that i'm a little sad as this will DEFINITELY be my last time in Midland where i shall live at 2602 Shandon. sad day. it has been my home since 1993. i shall share with you all some of my memories from this place:
1. one of the earliest memories was when matt and i got our last spankings. so far, anyway. i believe i was in 3rd grade and he in 5th. and we were fighting over.....a trapperkeeper. yes, a trapper keeper. remember those? we got a little loud in our yelling, and our dad got off work a little early that day. oops. it was his trapperkeeper, matts, but he SAID i could HAVE IT, he claims he said BORROW. i cant recall who actually kept the trapperkeeper.
2. it was this house that we played legos in my room on the floor every saturday morning for hours and hours. back then i had a hardwood floor, no carpet, which was perfect for legos. i miss those days.
3. it was one of those sat mornings playing legos that my parents came back there and told us that our Poppy had died. that was my mom's dad, a really awesome Christian man. that was a sad day that i still remember.
4. the front living room used to be our "school room" for the 2yrs we homeschooled. i remember doing many a math worksheet and a timed reading review in that room.
5. there was the christmas we got the ping pong table. and all the tournaments on it. its all folded away now. :(
6. my 7th grade year we had disciple now here for the 7th grade girls. many a things happened that weekend. they are not fit for this blog, haha. but oh do we remember them.
7. there was that Christmas matt and i got new bikes and dad hid them in the guest bathroom. haha, that was funny.
8. and the time we got the basketball goal. i have spent more time in our driveway playing on that bball goal than perhaps anywhere else. well maybe not, but i have spent a lot of time doing that.
9. wall ball against the shop wall with the millers and the ashlocks. ohhh man, were those the days.
10. we have had many sunday school parties and thanksgiving dinners and easter egg hunts here at 2602 shandon w/ really cool friends
11. haha, one time after we first moved here tiffany came with her dad who dropped by to welcome us to the church. we sat out in the sun room and were eating pecans and tiffany ate part of a shell and she really freaked out. it was hilarious.
12. it was here that i spent my first nite alone in the house, with the fam out of town. i was a little skeered, but i survived.
13. i spent many many a nite washing dishes in this kitchen. yeah, pretty much.
14. this is probably boring you. i'm bored myself. oh well. thats all for now.

NO MORE CLASSES! WHOOP!
whoop also for a 90 in database. 542 of 600 points. only 2 points of effort wasted in overachieving to receive an A.
i have a few more quotes to wrap up with from last week, hope you enjoy them. props to mrs. p for reading my lil site. now if only your final doesnt kill any of us....
"I used to show all this verbage and THEN the example." --mrs. p (verbage. excellent word usage.)
"That has always sounded so vile to me...I don't want to catch a thread death." --mrs. p (a little computer humor for ya there)
"There was an organization at that time called the Gray Panthers, which is a group of seniors that are fairly aggressive." --conant
"I was watching the Food Network the other night. One of my favorite networks. Some of you may enjoy it as well." --conant
"Mel Gibson's recent movie used the word 'passion' in its title." --conant (really? i must have missed that one)
"Let's back up the food chain." --conant
"None of us like to be stereotyped." --conant
"There's nothing more frustrating in the marketplace than encountering an employee who knows very little." --conant
"Lately I've been on this candy...phase. Although I'm not eating a lot of it, I'm looking at the industry." --conant (thats a good line)
"This is nitty gritty detective work." --conant (yeah it is)
And for my final quote of the semester:
"Everyone says be who you are. I say, that's crap! I say if you like him better than you like yourself, then be him. Be who you want to be." --travis, naturally
i hope you have enjoyed conant and mrs. p and the other contributors as much as i have. its been a great semester. looking forward to my summer and also the fall. keep checkin back i'm sure i'll find some interesting stuff to put up. better make it a favorites spot tho, cuz i'm probably signing off IM for a long while. so shoot me some emails, friends! and have a very nice summer.

so here's some quotes from mrs. p this morning (whoop for database being cancelled after that!!) and also a special treat: quotes from upstream group 14 triple chunksters last nite.
"Isn't this a 300 level class? You should be writing operating systems. If you were across the campus you would be. That's why you're not across the campus, right? 'I didn't want to design operating systems. I wanted to learn how to count beans'." --mrs. p (yeah, thanks. but why beans?)
"I wore a bright colorful shirt in case any parents came to class today." --mrs. p (bright pink, to be exact. it was a nice shirt. but no parents came. that would have been cool if they had though.)
"Are y'all typing to your mothers or writing this down?" --mrs. p
"But like in the '80s if you ever watch home movies the world was like in this red tint." --marcus
"Did you just say you're so surprised you have a boyfriend?" --sara to kara (whaa? kara has a boyfriend? haha GOTCHA AGAIN)
"Dude. Its a joke. Laugh. Blow snot out your nose." --sara
"Do you realize how much fun Barbies are to burn?" --garrett (thats sick.)
"A bird pooped on my head too! They're going crazy, huh?" --daniel t.
"It sounds as though there is a small animal in your purse." --garrett to amanda
"I look over and Sara is poofing out her gut." --garrett (its true, she was)
"There's babies inside they're just not fertile yet." --sara
"Your skin looks like its cannibal." --sara (ok, so she REALLY said tannable, but we all heard cannibal)
"See, I've heard this multiple times and I still think its funny. That's funny." --sara (and thus, funniness was defined)
"I understand your logic." --travis to sara, after she explained why she would walk around campus without having shaved her legs for 2 weeks if she got $50 for it.
And after I explained the title of my blog to her:
"Cool! I'm so gonna say that it was like a day from the '80s. Bad music. Funky hair. And my socks felt like they were pushed up all the way." --sara
Fo sho. That's all the quotes in the hizzouse for today. Weekend here we come!

so conant is back in style. today during class we played the "telephone game", you know where you whisper in people's ears the sentence and see what it turns out to be at the end. yeah, all 500 of us played. or however many people are in wehner 159. the sentences at the end were sooo not how they started, it was pretty funny. several of today's quotes stem from that exercise. we also watched funny commercials. all in all, a fine class. and a fine day. and still upstream to come tonite. whoop! tomorrow the parentals are coming in for....parental weekend. looking forward to it. anyway, here's the quotes.
"You are not allowed to go closer than 3 inches to the person next to you because if you violate this airspace people start to giggle and lose their concentration. We wont go into details, but it happens." --conant
"I've had people get married from this class because of this exercise. 'He just whispered in my ear so nicely, I dont know what happened'." --conant
"See we've already had violations. If the ear police we're here they'd be selling tickets. There's a violation down front here and they haven't even got the message yet."
--conant
"For those of you not familiar, this is the giant, steriod-laden.....hershey kiss." --conant
"Now thats a serious kiss, right? And its solid. Which makes it all the better." --conant
"I had to sneak [the kiss] out under the cover of darkness." --conant
"You have to stay in the middle aisle. We cant have contamination. Remove that from your mind. Who has the Men in Black thing? Psssh." --conant
"Let's definitionally hi-lite it." --conant
"How can i backwind this thing. Does anyone know?" --conant, meaning rewind the dvd
"Please note these words both start with the letter 'i'. And they are dangerous words."
--conant
"Oh well, you'll be a parent someday. If you arent already. Thats terrible isnt it? Yeah."
--conant, after telling us he takes his boys to Sams Club sometimes for dinner
thats all for today. but quite a few considering that was a 75min time frame. i was impressed.

so, i havent updated in, well, in a long, long, long time. my apologies. here's a few quotes for ya.
"they are so cute together. and they complement each other's funniness." --evelyn
"we'll call that drop 'steve'." --dewald, referring to a drop of water in a pipeline
"i continue to be astounded by life." --dewald
"We've had soft drink and snack vending machines since they came across on the Mayflower." --dewald
"Dont call yourself stupid, just pressurized." --mrs. p
"This is something new for you: read the chapter in the book." --mrs. p
"Do y'all know ANYTHING?" --mrs. p
"That's a LIE" --mrs. p
"Have we gotten anything done yet? Why start now?" --mrs. p (now thats my line of thinking)
"This has been a flop of a day." --barry (mmmhmmm)
thats really all i suppose. if i'd taken notes when i went home for easter i could share TONS of funniness from the fam and friends, but sorry, i didnt. i apologize. but i did have an incredible Easter and finally went and saw the Passion, on Good Friday. I was glad I waited to see it then, it was the perfect day to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross in such a vivid way. conant comes back to marketing tomorrow, so get excited. I'll try to do a better job. Hopefully I haven't alienated my readership.
