A Little Too Quiet: Senior Year

Hey, y'all! Holding down the fort over here. :) I titled this post "A Little Too Quiet" because that's our house right now... too quiet. Without my sisters, it gets pretty dull around here. M and D are doing great; there's a lot of "Words with Friends" and guitar playing going on tonight per usual. At least they aren't asleep again...

I have a feeling I will get in trouble for this picture, but it's so worth it! It's a little peak at what I'm dealing with daily... ;)

It's quiet here, but peaceful. Going from three girls at home to one is quite a change for all of us but, in all honesty, we are finding it a pleasant change. Although we miss all of our girls, the Lord knew we needed a year to ourselves: a year of peace. :) Just this morning when I was driving to school at the crack of dawn (okay, maybe it was more like 7:00 AM, but that's still early!) I saw this beautiful sunrise and was reminded of God's promise of new mercies every day and the comfort that He is with us. ALWAYS.

Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." Amen and Hallelujah.

In other news, my senior year of high school is starting with a bang! Cheer is crazy as always, but I am truly enjoying the girls on my squad. They are all nuts; I fit right in!

Our high school has a tradition of having one "Senior Lunch" a quarter at a student's home. All 120 of us unload upon a house and eat-and eat and eat. Today we had our first lunch and it was splendid. Even better than splendid-stupendous! It really made me realize that I am actually a senior, not still in seventh grade.

The moms who helped set up the lunch brought all the foods we

ate in kindergarten and elementary school! PB&Js, grilled cheeses, Lunchables, KoolAid, Caprisun, cotton candy, ring pops, Laffy Taffy, Fruit by-the-Foot, and so much more. They even provided sidewalk chalk and bubbles! But, get this, they also had two ice cream trucks come and serve us whatever we wanted. It was like Christmas!! We took a class picture then headed back to school all hyped up on sugar.

They also gave us some sunglasses with "Class of 2012" on the side. Here are some pictures of my friends enjoying them-in class of course. :)

Aren't they adorable?!

So, sisterless, somehow I am managing. We do alot of praying around here. :) We know that even though we can't be together all the time, God is with us every moment of every day.

Hallelujah. :)

bye, y'all!
