Livin it Up at AU

So my creative energy has been all spent out at school and I haven't had much time to write lately. Here's a little update on me...

1. Hanging out with the roomies... in the picture. I have been blessed to have such wonderful roommates over the years and me, Shelley, and Leslie are having a lot of fun together this year. We spent all of this week with no AC and it just got fixed today!! Yes! Cool air once again!

2. Friends. Being back at Auburn I have been reunited with lots of my friends and it's been great getting to see them and just hang out with them and have fun.
3. Auburn Football! Ok, some people are in love with Auburn football. Not this girl. I mean, I like it and all that, but it's just so stressful for me. Sometimes I get too anxious to actually enjoy the games. I mean, the crowds, the parking, the getting in the gate three hours before the game starts, making sure you are sitting with all your friends...... all that is just not my idea of a relaxing weekend. It's something you gotta experience though so I'm enjoying it. After all, this is my last football season in Auburn!
4. The park. I have this little place in Auburn that I love to visit. I like to go out there and spread my blanket out and read, enjoy the beauty of the surroundings, and just think about life. (Yeah, I get made fun of for "thinking about life" but hey, it's what I do.) Since I have more free time in my schedule I've gotten to visit this little park more often and spend some time running out there with my trusty running buddy.
5. The gym. Me and the roomies, my sis, and Alli have made a few visits together out to the gym for some Body Pump, yoga, and RPM action. Let me just say that RPM kicks my butt. I mean, it is hard! The yoga experience is quite hilarious if you stop and look around at everyone in the room standing in these weird poses, but it's relaxing. Joining a gym was money well spent and I highly recommend it.
6. God. Like I said before, one of the great things about God is that you can never learn enough or be filled enough and you always have room to grow. I have gotten to go back to Encounter which is always a blessing. I am also about to join a Bible Study with some people at school on the book "Waking the Dead." I'm really looking forward to getting to know these people better and spending time with them learning about God. I think it is so cool the way that you can learn things from other Christians and be encouraged by them and the way God is working in their life. The other day I was reading a girl's facebook profile and I was just really encouraged by a verse she had written under her quotes. I think it so cool the way God can use us to touch others in ways that we may not even know!
7. School. I love school!!! Ok, I don't love school, but it is soooo much better this year. I have much more free time and I am actually learning things that will help me in my career. The fact that I get to have somewhat of a life this semester thrills me!
