Blog Challenge Day 26
Ok, some of these questions are just lame.
I like my friends. That's why they're my friends.

Dear Mom and Dad,
There's no way I can write a blog post that sufficiently describes my feelings toward you or my gratefulness for you so I'm not even going to try. Hopefully I express how I feel in enough other ways that this post isn't necessary anyway.
Love,
Me

When I think crave I automatically think in terms of food so in that vein I'd have to say potatoes. I like potatoes any way I can get them...fried, baked, mashed, au gratin, roasted, in soup, in potato salad, in casseroles, even instant. Potatoes are my ultimate comfort food. If I'm sad or upset my first impulse isn't to run for chocolate but to go get french fries from McDonalds or whip up a quick batch of mashed potatoes with sour cream and cheese.
The thing is, thanks to an annoyingly wonderful sermon/talk/teaching (whatever you want to call it) by Andy Stanley at Passion 2011 in Atlanta, it's hard for me to think of appetites and craving the same way I used to. Stanley pointed out that our appetites were created by God but distorted by sin. So in other words, God gave me the taste buds I have that send happy chemicals to my brain when I eat potatoes. However my sin distorts that God given happiness when I wallow in a bad mood and eat an entire box of instant mashed potatoes. Obviously our appetite for food isn't the only appetite he spoke about. Here's a link to a blog written by someone who attended the conference and recapped the session if you're interested. http://joshburns.net/2011/01/03/passion-2011-session-4-andy-stanley/

I think my extreme clumsiness makes me different from almost everyone I know. Growing up I always wished I could make being klutzy as cute Amanda Bynes did. Alas, it was not to be. The only person I know who's half as clumsy as I am is my sister, Lyndsey...she's a pilot who can't get into a plane without bumping her head on the wing.
I'm pretty sure my youngest sister, Ciana, got all the coordination Lyndsey and I missed out on. :-)

Blog Challenge Day 11
Ok this time I can't just pick one so bear with me!
Bethany and I met in the 1st grade and have somehow managed to stay friends all these years...I don't know how she's put up with me. We share a deep love for Saved By The Bell, Runaway Bride, and Chocolate. Oh and Mak&Cheese! ;-)
Cara and I have been friends since I graduated High School and joined the college group at West Conroe. This is us on our Grand Adventure to the UK! (We really should have tried to get some better pictures of the two of us!)
Megan and I have been friends since I joined the youth group at West Conroe. We've seen each other through some pretty rough times and some pretty great ones!
Ashley and I met at youth camp the summer I was in 8th grade and she was in 11th. Together we led a little girl to the Lord and we've been almost inseparable ever since. This is a picture of us being total baking nerds!
