There is nothing so wonderful as a day relaxing at home, coffee in hand, and Brandenburg playing through the speakers.

(I just got Trevor Pinnock's Brandenburg Concertos on CD from my Aunt and Uncle.)

Until December 8th, you can download Derek's newest album for free. Click on the picture to go check it out -- it's wonderful music.

I have started the course that will be the end of my dealings with this community college (I am very happy to be about finished). I am determined to enjoy this class -- it is world literature II, which sounds fun, but my teacher seems a little on the crazy side. However, it has only been two days so far...I shall endeavor to give him a better chance to prove himself a good teacher of literature.

More posts will probably follow--

Just thought everyone would be interested in seeing all the cool coffee mugs and stuff that I've collected at thrift stores and such (and some were given to me by Ellen). ;)

Hope yall are having a great day.

Some pictures I found on a cd in my backpack this afternoon. They were taken (1&2) in Wylie Tx, and (3&4) in Rowlett, Tx.

We did it!

It was a wonderful wedding. Thank you to both of our mothers for all the hard work they put into it. To all of you that were there - thanks for coming! We were so happy to see you there!

Saturday we got rain after many dry days. It was quite nice.

This year marks the 170th year of Texas independence, and It just so happens that I was born the year of Texas' sesquicentennial, but it also just so happens I was born on the 12th of January(which just so happens to have been yesterday).

So yes, you guessed it. I had a birthday yesterday.

The flowers were from my fiancé.

Been real busy recently. Right now I'm in the middle of Wintermester (a 10 day semester), and boy is it a jumble of information thrown at you all at once! The class is Government I, an interesting subject, but anything can prove to be difficult in such a small amount of time. The good thing is I only have 3 tests, one of which I took this morning. Being in class this many hours at a time is hard, but my professor's strange and interesting teaching style - and personality - make it quite fun. :)

Since everyone is asking for a new post, I will give you a photo essay on my recent roadtrip with my sister.

(We drove out to Lubbock on the 11th and came back the 13th. It was a very fun trip, and we had a good time visiting with pizzaman and mulltrain as well as Jon&Carol. I love West Texas.)

Out on the road.

A cool gas station along the way.

Got out to see the Buddy Holly statue.

The coffee was good. The doughnuts were good.

Scrabble at J&C's.

Heading back home.

Two words for today:

Martin and Luther.

This day in 1517, Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses on the church door in protest of various heretical practices of the Catholic church. His actions that day started a major reformation in the church.

Happy Reformation day.

I thought I might as well post while I'm up. At this point in time I have finished my Speech lab that is due in the morning and I am preparing to turn in for the night/morning. It's been a great time. Just me and the old Comp. We do have great times together.

Hope all of you are enjoying a restful night of sleep!

Tonight in my NewsPhotography class we got to use the new computers in the lab. We did some scanning and this was the picture I worked on. I took this at Cleburne State Park in Cleburne, Texas.

I've been doing ok at school. I have 2 photography classes along with English, Speech and Philosophy. The semester looks promising!

Happy Birthday to Mulltrain!!!

And a happy first day of school!

Changes

2005-08-24T02:32:00.000+06:00

Just when you've gotten used to one thing, it seems to change. This Summer my older sister was in Europe for 6 weeks, and my brother has been home for the Summer. Just last week, my sis came back, and yesterday my brother left for school again. I'm really glad to have the sister back, but sad to see my brother go.

I do realize that these things happen all the time. I am to that age where the home I knew- with my thousands of siblings always around- is not the same anymore. Some of us are grown up now, and everyday things are changing. Soon a few of us will move out for good and then the younger ones will know what it is like to be the oldest kids in the house. Thinking about all this does make me sad, but this is life. People grow up. I guess I didn't realize it would happen to me so fast. But I sure am glad for all the years I've had at home with my family.

Tonight

2005-08-15T12:12:00.000+06:00

This evening around 6:00 the great Wylie sky began to darken...the winds picked up...the rain began to fall...then our power went out. ;)

Some might hear this sad tale and not wish it on their worst enemy - however us kids have always had this wonder at power outages. There's always been adventure in it for us.
Visit Pizza's blog for a full story. It was great.

Coffee

2005-08-09T00:27:00.000+06:00

What else is there to say? Coffee is such a wonderful treat. Such a cure to one's problems. Such a soothing medicine. A drink to share with friends on a rainy day. I do love the way J.S. Bach put it in his coffee cantata:

Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious than a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have,
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah, then pour me out some coffee!

More on NC

(This post inspired by Ithilien's comment at the end of the previous post)

I must clarify that I have liked Nickel Creek since their first CD came out mainly for their very cool music style (sortof ModernFolkGrass).

I will say that I do not particularly agree with thier strange new taste in dress and attitude (seen in their music videos), but I do hope that this new CD demonstrates that even though they may have changed in appearances, that they will continue to make good music.

I don't know much about this John Roberts Jr, but it looks like he has a few good ideas. Guess we'll find out soon...

Here's a blast from the past. Stumbled onto this one today thinking about our recent ball. Some of us have really changed in 3 years!

Howdy everyone!

I have just moved over from xanga (which is another blog website). The reason I moved is because I found that you have to register to comment on that site. This one seems easier to use.
