Fall Break Camp

Hahahaha. So. First of all, Harry Potter fans who don't know about the new international trailer MUST immediately proceed to scroll downwards until they see the 'Trailer Addict' video. And then read the post. But if you've seen it, or don't care, then you can just proceed with reading THIS entry.

Fall Break Camp... I went with my youth group. Over fall break, from Thursday afternoon till Sunday afternoon. I rode up with Corey [youth pastor] and Tavia [friend] and others in the church van. I got to ride shotgun, so I memorized the directions.... I'm going to drive myself next time. Tavia & I were the oldest ones, besides Corey, on that van. It was a looooong ride.

It was fun though. We had service every night, and played cheesy games that are to be expected where lots of youth are present. It was different PH youth groups that were there. I figured out I'm pretty good at the "Honey, If You Love Me" game. Haha. Well, I'm pretty good at making other people smile, but I'm horrible at keeping a straight face for myself. Man, but some of those guys just have to get up in my face and I'm laughing. Haha. But thats alright. I can get right up in their faces as well. =D haha, yeah.

The worship was amazing. Two of the guys from our youth group did the whole thing... just two voices, one guitar, and a piano. I finally gave up on bugging God for his plan for my life. I said that I would let him reveal all that in his time.

GUESS WHAT?!?! TWO days after I got back.... God gave me my answer. At least, I think so. I still have some praying and a whole lot of years to get through, but...

Now I at least have a tentative outline/plan. I'm going to get my MBA at ORU, then work for a wedding planner for awhile before eventually starting my own wedding coordinating business! :D Awesome, huh? Its perfect for me!! I'm a perfectionist, and waaay into details. Plus I'm a sucker for romance. So, perfect job! Plus, I'm spoiled watching my dad own his own business. He gets to go to the office late whenever he wants. haha. Anyways.

It was a really good weekend. I drove home with Haley, a friend who literally lives about two minutes away from my house. She had to drive up late the first night since she couldn't get out of cheering for a football game. That was fun. We stopped at DQ on the way home and met up with the church van and another one of our friends who had driven herself. :)

Look-ee thar, dad! Yore lil' gal can so-shuh-lize after all! hahaha.

well, till next post God bless!

New Half-Blood Prince Trailer!

Ahh! I can't believe that just a little while ago we thought that HBP was going to come out in a few weeks. Now we have around seven more months again. FOREVER ago, we were saying "just seven more months!" *sigh* However, if WB keeps coming out with trailers like the first two, I shall be slightly less aggravated.
Heehee. So. I must discuss it.
1. Was that Ron & Hermione kissing? They aren't supposed to do that till the SEVENTH book. *sigh*
2. Did you see when Harry was vanishing? I'm pretty sure that was when Draco covers Harry up on the Hogwarts Express after Harry was spying on him!! *squee*
3. The beginning music was slightly LOTR-esque.
4. THE CAVE! OH MY GOSH! THE CAVE!
5. WHY wasn't Dumbledore's hand black? Or wait... was it his left or right hand? I don't think we saw his RIGHT hand.... hmm.
6. SLUGHORN'S MEMORY! Heck yeah. =]
7. The side-along apparition! Have they had that in the movie before? I don't think so. Besides, if I remember correctly, HBP is the first [& only?] book where he has to do side-along apparition. In the seventh book he just illegally apparates because he can't show up to get his license or he'll get arrested. Fun stuff.
8. Ending = priceless.
"But I am the chosen one."
*WHACK!*
"Sorry! Um, kidding!"
PAHAHAHAHA!

Do You Really Believe That What You Believe Is Really Real?

Oooh. Toughie. =]
My church on Sunday nights is now doing "The Truth Project." It is really very interesting. Of course, it helps that one of my favorite subject is apologetics-related things. And questions like the one above are my favorite sort of questions. I'm thinking of maybe having a theology major, though I'm not quite sure what I would do with it.. Maybe I'd pair it with an English minor or something, since I've been playing around with an English major/minor idea. I've been praying for awhile that God would guide me in that area, and maybe he is starting to nudge me. I don't know. I'll have to pray some more. =]
But anyway... the Truth Project is AWESOME! Take a listen.

Geeze. I have issues I didn't even know about!

Hahahaha. Okay... here are exerpts from the letter my oral surgeon sent to our insurance company, trying to get them to help us pay for jaw surgery. Or, as the surgeon says, "Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with internal rigid fixation."

I have "mandibular hypoplasia."
"Deformities of the facial skeleton posterior crossbite have caused an abnormal bite which makes chewing and incising food difficult." [TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!] "If a proper bite is not provided, the entire mastication system can break down. Associated problems include excessive wear to contacting teeth with potential early loss of the dentition; stress and strain on the jaw, surrounding muscles and ligaments; myofacial pain and chronic headaches, lip dysfunction, tongue thrust and mouth breathing problems and speech difficulties."

Talk about a mouthful!
Without the surgery, we might need to pay for "physical therapy, speech therapy, prescription use and abuse, [their words, not mine!] neurologic studies, etc." I don't think I want to know what the "etc." could entail!

This wasn't the whole letter. Reading it, you'd think I had such a major deformity that I'd resemble the Hunchback of Notre Dame, with an even worse jaw. Thank God, that is not the case. So...

Pray that the insurance company will agree with my surgeon! I don't want to go through "physical therapy, speech therapy, prescription use OR abuse, or neurologic studies." I don't want dentures at 50, either! My parents are 51 & 52! I don't want dentures at their age!

Please pray!!! Tina
