alright alright, ill do it ok?

so here i go, filling you in on the last month of my life...

so schools has been a sprained ancle in itself. i missed 3 days in a row and now im pretty sure im failing photo because he hasnt checked a single thing. i not have a math tutor and he only stays for about 10 minutes befor we run out of things to do. ive already finished all but one project for the entire quarter in graphic design, im now just sitting on my mac messin with widgits (how sweet :)) and somehow in 3 days of being gone, i didnt miss a single thing in physics. i thought that class was supposed to be hard?

still out on the hunt for an occupation. im not doin so hot.

im still hangin with that one girl, i think her name is breanna, either way shes cool :) (haha just kidding shes really cool and i like her a lot :)

i talked to travis for the first time since may, what a jokster that guy is huh? had some amazing stories about all his dates with mexican women that dont speak any english...how awkward would that be? he doesnt really do that :/ but he does come home for the weekend in a week!!! pretty stoked to hear some more stories!!!

keira is about to pack up her socks and head back, so so so excited for her to pour her thoughts into me!! ive already been inspired by her just through her blog and emails. when she comes back its gonna be amazing!!!

well thats a quick glimps into the life of nick jonas!!

until next time, play safe!!

speed up

its only thursday :/ this has seriously been the longest week ever. i still have 3 days until i can even talk to breanna :( i miss her so much already its killin me.

im back in school now. not completely sure about how i feel about this year. math isnt exactly my favorite, i have friends in history physics and english so that should definately help. photo seems like it should be another fun year of havin mr mckinnon. graphic design should be pretty easy. overall it should be an ok year.

the highs and lows of the lows and highs

when i got back from philly i began to notice my life was a whole lotta nothin :/ the only people i want to hang out with cant hang out or i just dont have their numbers, therefor, i just slept, theres so much i could have done with my time but i didnt, i just put everything off and did nothing. it really started to make me feel bad about myself. i started to think that maybe all ill ever do is just sit around and do nothing, which is definately not a good thing to think. well these last 2 days have definately made me not at all mind my weeks of nothing.

yesterday morning i got picked up at 7:30 in the mornin in the scion, breanna jared naters and i all headed over to james pattersons house (new singles pastor) he just moved from florida and needed help unpacking the moving truck. man what a work out. we then headed down to casa grande to hang with nates family. we stopped to hang out with papa and jeremy at there work, then headed over to angels work to hang for a bit. we finished up there and went to naters parents house to hang out! we watched what about bob!!! great movie :) we had some delicious spaghetti and garlic bread and brownies befor we climbed back in the car and motioned onward to the normal life. I then woke up fairly early and took another shower cuz i still felt a hint of filth from movin james. I then headed north for the back to school bash!! i was the first there so i ended up sittin outside for a while until jon got there followed by nater and jared. after doin a bit of setting up, the band ( this seasons love) showed up which got us a bit off track. we pulled together and finished setting up and jumped straight into the coolest pool in arizona!! this seasons love played a great show and jon did a great job fillin in for alex!!

though i didnt hang with breanna as much as i would have liked today at the bash i had an amazing time with her yesterday!! shes such an amazing girl and she makes me so happy!! i felt so at home hangin out at her grandparents house, it was amazing!!! she does away for a week tomorrow night and shes not gonna have any form of communication :( an entire week of not seeing or talkin to her is definately gonna be hard :(

its time

so...last night...was...fun...very fun...very very fun...it was amazing...very amazing...very very amazing :)

i took a road trip to the maples residence to hang with the fam and their friend tara. tara is visiting from hillsong in australia :) shes definately a cool girl :) but besides that, i had sooo much fun hangin with breanna :) we hung out at what i like to call the redneck mall (Bass Pro Shop) so much fun :) i always have so much fun with her :)

HEY!

Well, after what seems to have been ages, I'm finally home! I spent a week at the grandparents house out in Philly and oh boy what a thrill :( 

I've been learning more than an 8 year old school boy this summer. I've been noticing things about my life I didn't know was there. I've been learning a lot about being a servant of God. A wise old man once told me, "Don't sit around and get spiritually fat while the world goes to hell, but don't forget who the savior is!" Basically what it's saying is grow as you need to grow but work on applying your spiritual knowledge to the unknowing that surround you. However don't forget that you are merely a translator for God. Only He can save the world, but you must introduce Him. It's incredible what you can learn from your past youth pastors :) Thanks a ton Ryan, that was an extremely helpful comment!

Thanks Tori, I love you

wow what a slap in the face. today i went to the beginning of the new semester of the mine with tori. i havent really gotten a chance to talk to her much lately which is a bummer. we stayed after to talk. This is where that slap comes in. we started to get on the subject of keira leaving which then led to travis being gone and then just kept moving in that direction...totally bad. from past times of talkin about this with tori its ended up with her wanting to not think about it so she doesnt cry. well i guess its been longer than i thought cuz she ended up being the one saying its ok. as i was driving home i started to think about everyone who helped me so much in life that have moved on to another stage in their life and have moved away. But by the time i got home i was barely sad at all. Tori really helped me to see that God calls us to leave our comfort zones so that God will help us to become stronger. Christianity isnt about how much you learn about God, its about how well you live out what God tells us and helping others to live out his word. i guess everyone leaving is God's way of saying that i'm ready to stop spending all my time learning, and start spending some time teaching.

so im finally getting a peek at what its like to be home, but just a peek. I got home last night around 5 and now i leave again tomorrow night :/ i guess i cant complain though. 2 of my closest friends and probably the people who have helped me get through life the most the past few months are both out spreadin the Word in Kenya (Keira) and mexico ( Travis). They both have given up months from there fortunate lives to go live in some much less fortunate places of the world to show the glory of God. Its making me think so hard about how ive been living. I have trouble telling some of my close friends about God and yet they can go live in poverty and spread God's word to hundreds of complete strangers that speak in different languages. if only i could take their incredible examples and put them to use in my life.
