| Post Christmas Update -- Christmas is always a wonderful time of year, the only downfall is spending time with the extended family. Don't get me wrong it was good to see them all and pretend that our family was somewhat back to normal after all the drama in the past three years. But honestly the fact that half the family comes from 9-1 for Christmas, then the other half (even brothers and sisters) come from 2-6. My family's stuck in the middle so we get the privelage to stay from 9-6. I love my grandparents though...seriously wonderful people and I wanted to go on record to say that -- On a brighter side my mom and dad are great! We had a good time at church and I got to meet a lot of their friends and such. Monday I went up to my old high school (Union Grove) and played basketball and got to see some people that I went to school with and it was good to catch up even if they do think I'm a total rebel sinful man for having tattoo's (haha) -- Speaking of tattoo's, my baby sisters had an amazing Christmas! I was able to talk to them and I love those girls so much, they have given me a new perspective on life completely. Sophie the 5 year old has a broken nose and a busted lip..due to the fact she was attempting gymnastics in the cart at Wal*Mart...what a darling. Juliette wanted all books for Christmas, she's such a little scholar...Jimmy's coming to my house tomorrow morning or night, depending on when he leaves, I miss the kid, he's like my brother -- Well I suppose that's mostly it, I'm excited for NY for many reasons so I can't wait to get back (just wish I could take my mom and dad with me).....thanks for the support on this xanga thing, it means a lot...much love

| Merry Christmas Eve -- Being home is definitly nice, however exteremely boring. It's great to see my mom and dad, I love them to death and seriously as I get older my parents get so much more fun. To be honest with everyone, I've done absolutly nothing this entire break yet, everyday I watch Oprah and Dr. Phil -- Physical exercise, well I do go running for 3 miles every day, which makes me feel somewhat good about myself. And NO to everyone who's wondering my eating habits have stayed the same, yes even over the holiday season. Jimmy should be coming back to my house here in Wisc. most likely Dec. 29th, and then we'll both be heading out around Jan 3rd. Tomorrow we are going to church early in a.m. and then down to the g-parents for Christmas with my dysfunctional family -- God Bless em though....well that about wraps it up for my Christmas update, I hope everyone has a great time with their family and friends. Much love --

| So the time has come that everyone says their sad goodbyes...but only
for three weeks. Christmas break has finally come, and before we know
it will be gone. I am glad that I have some time off though, I miss my
mom and dad dearly and honestly it's been since Spring Break of this
past year that I've seen them. My mom is a darling, I can't wait to see
her!!! Jimmy and I leave tomorrow for Chicago, it should be one of
those interestingly long 12 hour rides...good Lord -- I suppose I'll
end my lovely post with a thankful statment -- I enjoy my life...and I
am glad I'm me...
p.s. - I am listening to what is listed -

| Why do we as Christians live in constant regret for things that have
happend in the past? God's given us the past so we can learn and
improve for the future. We aren't perfect, and when we do make that
inevitable mistake, take from the postives' which is that it's in your
past and now we need to work hard to not let the same happen
again. Dont live with regret, it will only compromise your
potential...much love

- Why can't life be easy....it's not supposed to be I suppose. It seems
like I'm not the only one struggling through some things right now. A
lot of my friends seem to be going through some battles, must be
something in the weather. I know God is good, that's basically all I
can do right now is focus on Him, I wonder why it seems though life is
a constant hardship, with not a lot of bright spots...of course I'm
just a drama queen haha...This semester is almost done, school is
flying by, friends are moving forward and it's sad because I dont like
change very much, I want things to stay this way forever...partly why
I'm listening to Brand New right now...there's a line in one of their songs that goes "I want to stay eighteen forever...so we can stay like this forever...and we'll never miss a party...cause we keep it going constantly..."
I miss my family, my mom and dad in wisconsin it has
been entirely to long since I've seen them so Christmas
break is going to be a much needed vacation. I miss my mom in
Florida, I miss my baby sisters...it's unexplainable the love I
have for them, sort of weird, but they are by far the most
amazing gifts from the Lord I have ever received...I love you Sophia,
and Juliette...(as if they read this thing) well I need to go do
something other than writing on this thing, I do appreciate all the
love you guys show to me, it's encouraging, and I apologize if I
sometime do not reciprocate the same...much love
