spinning.

well today i went to spinning. its a class at the gym... thats basically cycling or bike riding on crack. it was super fun- but a KILLER workout. i did have some knee pain, so i didn't go to hard, but gosh it was like constant burn in the muscles. their were only 5 of us in there, so that was nice. and it was all women, again nice. but me and chels were the only beginners. the other 3 were beasts. haha... i think they like bike ride for real, and just come their to train... or something. i dunno. it was fun though. im hoping to get into a habit of going to the gym as much as possible, and to get as unsore as possible, so that when work starts my soreness will not be as bad, but ill be in the routine of going that on my days off ill go. thast the plan. im paying monthly... so i better make it worth it!

i wish i had a picture for today... but i dont really. maybe ill find a good one for tomorrow.
it was a good day. im enjoying it here more and more. skype has been a life-saver! i got to talk to SAY-RA today!!! that was sooo exciting. i tried to give her a hug- didnt work out so well- but it was great to see her! annnnnd papa dur. haha. what a funny guy.

ok thats it for now. im about to go select a new book. i finished harry potter book 4 last night... at 12:30. gosh it was so good i couldn't put it down. i read for a good hr last night. and since i dont own book 5 i am waiting for ry to bring it to me in a couple of weeks... so until then i figured ill find a book on my shelf of 3,000 books!! haha... so anyway off to read.

love and peace-

2 posts in 1 night...

i know. like the previous post wasn't enough... haha... if you haven't read the one below dont forget to do that... but yeah i came across this picture today on facebook... and OH MY GOSH... this guy is HANDSOME!! :) if i were flipping through a magazine and i saw this studly man i would rip out the pic and hang it on the wall... but WAIT... he is my man! :) my absolute best friend. my closest companion. the person i was made to be with... and there are pictures of him on my wall! good gracious. isn't he a HOTTIE! :) i am in love with one gorgeous guy. not only did the Lord bless me with a superb man who seeks after God... he looks like this! :) haha... ok enough bragging about him... haha just loved the pic and wanted to share with the world... :) sorry ry. i know you prob hate this post...

web cam = my new best friend

so last night was my first sad night... i just missed people. friends. mom and dad. seeing familiar faces. it was a lonely day- this week has been a lonely week- simply because the roommates work all day so its just me and puggy- who has turned into quite the annoying one. he just barks at EVERYTHING he sees or hears. its painful sometimes! haha. anyway last night i went to bed a lil sad- but thats ok and thats expected. but today. by golly that sadness has turned into HAPPY HAPPY HAPPINESS! like i said previously we didn't have wireless internet. well that lasted maybe 12 hours. first thing today i researched online and went to good old circuit city and bought an internet router. (with thanks to dad for the help in the store. i didn't know what brand or how big 400feet was) haha. yeah i know. anyway i get home and set up the router. check my comp- it works great. and then i remember the glorious gift/hand-me-down sara (one bff) gave me earlier in the year. a web cam. so by golly i hooked it up. paula (one of the bff's) had just told me the day before she and chad (her man) had a skype account. so i downloaded it and started hunting for friends. i found paula, chad, and sara. it was a glorious feeling. they were so close. well seconds later i realize chad is online. i think no... this can't be so good. by george it was that good. i sent a little hello... and then his little picture/video popped up. what a happy feeling that was to SEE someone i knew well. we chatted quite a bit. he left but to my surprise non-other than paula herself got on. SOOOO for basically a gooood long hour i web chatted with paula and jessica (a good old friend). i mean to understand the happiness i felt is hard to describe. i am so silly! i know. it has not even been a week- but i truly do miss people so much... mainly bc i dont know when ill see them again. so all day off and on i have been web chatting and its been amazing. so good to talk to and see people and laugh with people and goof off with friends. i was even able to give paula a tour of my new place!!! gosh the Lord truly blessed me today with laughter and love. it was such a HUGE blessing at the most PERFECT time. God always does know what you need when you need it. so needless to say the 40$ router was a 40$ well spent.

yay for web cam. mom ill be getting you one soon. you can join in on the madness. i promise you will love it!

let me just add- my roomies are amazing! they hang out with me as much as possible! tonight i went to get icecream with chels and just enjoyed her company and last night we all went to the gym (which was good and fun) so my roomates are a HUGE blessing.

one more thing... since this blog isn't long enough... I HAVE PICTURES! :) so enjoy!!
much love and peace!

no internet... :(

so. we dont have wireless anymore... :( and only 1 internet outlet thing... so im on a roomates comp. anyway im going to go out hunting for a router in a little bit. thats my big plan for the day. once that is accomplished ill be able to post some pictures! annnnd hook up my webcam!! :) yay!! anyway the gym yesterday- woooah. im sore today! but it was such a good excercise/work out. ill prob join and go often. especially if i can get in the swing of things right now hopefully that will carry over once work starts... on my days off of course. anyway- not too much to say. hope all is well everywhere! :) much love and peace

a familiar face...

i am sorry to say... i still have no pictures of my new room, but they will be up soon enough.
i have gotten a lot accomplished today. a trip to the bank (that ended poorly). loads and loads of boxes emptied. pictures have gone up on the wall. boxes have been packed (im sending those to the snider boys house). and i had dinner with two familiar faces. two people from my roomate (lets call her chels) hometown... which also is mr snider's hometown... were here in durham so we had dinner with them. its always good to see people you know in a city of unfamiliar faces. it was nice to sit and eat and laugh. tomorrow is my first grown up meeting at the job. im sure it will be fine. i am just hoping it does not take all day! haha... i have things to unpack!! and i will also admit- i am going to the gym with chels tomorrow. it will be quite humurous... but the time has come. i kept saying as soon as i graduate i will join a gym. luckily i have found one, i get a discount bc of my employer, its close to my house... and it has TONS and TONS of classes at every time imaginable. these are all important things. so tomorrow is work-out day 1. ill let you know how it goes.

peace and love.

(lots of love especially to you mom :) )
