order

There's an order to just about everything in life (except my sister's side of the room...) Right now I'm in the library at IUPUI surrounded by row after row of books in a very particular order.

But, even though order is everywhere, some people seem to have forgotten (more like ignored) the proper order for some very important things. For example, this order is occurring more and more frequently:

1. Get boyfriend/girlfriend (two at same time if you can get away with it.)
2. Get pregnant/get girlfriend pregnant.
3. Get abortion/advise girlfriend to get abortion.
4. Repeat process.

Some people think this is an OK order:

1. Get boyfriend/girlfriend.
2. Move in with boyfriend/girlfriend.
3. Have kid(s).
4. Cheat on boyfriend/girlfriend.
5. Move in with new boyfriend/girlfriend.
6. Custody battle over kids.
7. etc.

The real order is this:

1. Fall in love with someone God has picked out for you.
2. Get married.
3. Have kids.

Is it really that hard? God's plan has fewer steps and requires so much less heartbreak!

OK, I'm done preaching. Now, since I have class in umm let's see here...one hour and 38 minutes, and I haven't done my homework, I'm going to do that.

driving

I have decided that one-word titles are the way to go. I like it when songs have only one word in the title (except when it's hard to figure out what song it actually is...) so I'm gonna see how it goes with blogging.

So, yes, the title actually means something! You know all those gorgeous roads you see in car commercials? Well, while we were here in North Carolina I got to drive on one of them! Namely, the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was so pretty, and fun to drive although it could have been curvy-er... So anyway that was cool.

Ah, the bliss of having a driver's license! The bliss of having transportation at your fingertips!
The fun of being stuck in traffic going ten mph on the highway...angry drivers beeping at you...the light turning yellow when you finally got up to it...but the positive outweighs the negative! :-) I'll try to keep that in mind tomorrow when we drive the looooonngg eight hours home.

Please post a comment...

Hey everyone, and welcome to my brand new blog! Please leave a comment so I know people actually read this. :-) As some of you know, I'm not on the internet all the time (like certain people...but I don't have to go into that.) Regardless, I will try to post regularly and try not to be boring. If I am, please tell me!! Any comments appreciated!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Right now I'm in North Carolina where my grandparents live. In honor of the holiday, here's a random list of things I am currently thankful for...
1. God. Without Him, none of us would be here now, would we?
2. Family. This is the first time in like ten years that everyone on my dad's side has been together for Thanksgiving and it's great!
3. No school! (Lots of homework...but ain't that what Sunday night is for?)
4. Extra sleep! Lots of time for that on the eight hour drive here!
5. ummm... smiles, ice cream, chocolate, puppies, horses, pumpkin pie, free internet access, sunshine, good sales, summer days, etc etc!
6. how could I forget...the awesome win the Pacers had tonight with NONE of their stars! We rock oh yeah!

Well, I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving and see all y'all next week!

Don't forget to comment!
