Super Awkward Fake Date with Leattle

Lea seems to believe that this story deserves to be told in my blog, therefore, it is getting its own entry. so, true to the theme in my life, i have ended up in yet another awkward situation. yesterday, i went to layne and claudette's house as usual (the youth pastor and his wife) to workout with claudette. layne had decided that he wanted to go to see the latest narnia movie that's currently out in theaters. so, he sent out a message on facebook and invited people to come see it with us. after running home and washing up, i blasted over to the theater since layne had said it would be crowded. i got there at 7, like i was told, and only lea and ryan were there. so i went to hangout with them and once layne and claudette arrived, ryan took off. all was fine and dandy until a certain understanding came upon me and lea, this looked alot like a double date... hmm... the situation quickly became awkward and me and lea continued to have huge fits of laughter. we had heard that our head pastor, Gary, would be coming and were relieved there would be an odd number of people. much to our dismay, Gary brought his wife and it turned into a triple date. now, you would think it wouldn't be all that bad since there's now six people all together, however, Gary has a history of trying to set us up. cue another layer of awkward. we now have 2 pastors and their wives looking at us with curiousity and making comments about how we're still in our first date awkward phase. shoot. me. now. a mother and son from our church arrived as well and helped difuse a small portion of the awkwardness, until the mom started making sound effects as she reacted to the entire movie. Overall it was a highly entertaining, highly awkward situation. would i ever want to relive this situation? probably not. Will me and lea have laughs about this one for a while? definitely. lea, ultimately i think our first date was a fail. and yet it was a win at the same time... hmmmm. now to mess with Gary's mind... Praise Him Always, leattle!

Candy Canes and Other High Priorities

Well, quite a few things have changed since i last updated this blog. I choose to believe that i haven't updated for a while becauase i have been busy with excitement in my life as opposed to the laziness (which is the reality) take it as you will. Well, the church split has pretty much blown over and those that insist on causing problems are no longer members of our church. once again, God has gardened our church and removed the weeds if you will. me and my friend have once again returned to talking, praise the Lord. We have taken our alotted time apart and have been able to return to a friendship that is no longer spiritually distracting. Sometimes we have to let go of the things that are most important to us, because they become more important than God. that's when we can no longer have them. we shall have no other gods before Him. We also had our Christmas play last weekend. while it was extremely frustrating at times, including learning our lines the day of the performance; it was a blast. The performances went smoothly, praise God, there were a couple of screw ups but it was good overall. I did manage to start laughing during my solo, which was embarrassing but i think it provided some entertainment for the audience. I am officially finishing my first semester at grossmont on tuesday and i am so happy. i am done with math! i can't help but feel like this semester went extremely quickly and that my russian class should be going longer but such is life. on to the next chapter! russian 2 and biology! I'm a little concerned about taking those two at the same time but i know its possible. getting ready for an action packed christmas break and i can't wait for it to start on tuesday. finals that morning, then off to grandma's in SD and then back to temecula for girls night with melissa. as cliche as it sounds, remember the true reason for this season. while candy canes and presents tend to be high on my list of favorites, its not the most important thing. Remember Jesus Christ made all of this possible. Praise Him always!
