His peace

I read this verse today and just thought it was pretty cool and I'd share it.
John 16:33 "These thing I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

sitting, thinking......

And still my mind is blank.....yeah, I got notta, zilch. So, I have to write a paper on something, anything and I can seriously not think of a single thing to write about. Okay well, I have thought of a few things, but their so boring. Fact papers are boring. Ideas?.......ah, how about music for inspiration.(starts to dance and lip sing every line)....hours later I remember what I was actually supposed to be doing. Oh, well. It's late. My brain tired. I'm going to bed.

Pippin audition turn-out

Yep, found out yesterday that I didn't get in Pippin. I'm a little dissippointed, but hey! there's always next time. Plus I heard the cast is SUPER small this time. like only 35 people.  But, they asked if I would want to help out backstage so I'm thinking about doing that. So I'll still get to hang out with people and see the show all come together, one of my favorite parts.

Fall/winter is here. Yes, I wore my ugg boots for the first time this year, so now winter has officially started.
I just want to go out and run my whole pack of camera batteries down taking pictures of all the beautiful trees. But, since I can't I setteled for this beautiful picture of the smoky mountains I got offline. We got to go there this summer. It was beautiful. Unfortunately the leaves hadn't turned yet when we were up there.

What's up?

I have missed writing on here so much, it's crazy. You know, the whole just posting random things and pics is fun.
Well my summer was so busy, I'm still in a daze not fully convinced it's over. Right now my brain is so torn. One day I'm a rebel wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the cold weather trying to make summer last longer and the next I'm drooling over the beautiful oranges and colors of fall. The hats and the boots, I love fall. And yet I love summer. Ya know what I'm talking about?
School has started. It was a rough start for me, but I'm finally getting into the swing of it again..I think.
Friday is try-outs for Pippin! I am super excited. Really hoping that goes well. Am I nervous? Who isn't nervous at auditions. The whole like spotlight on you and three directors staring at you. And the people you know are hiding up in the balcony. ;) All my play friends know what I'm talking about.
Enjoying helping Jen out in St. Louie right now. Abner is still the cutest thing ever and Elsie still refuses to talk. And I still have more math to do.

TTFN,

OH, and I won't be able to post pictures on here for a while because our computer is shattered.....yeah, long story.

Number #7

So I know I haven't posted in forever, for enough reasons to fill an entire post to tell you, but I kind of figured my new nephew deserves a post all of his own. So here he is my new, 2 day old nephew,

Abner Malcolm Isaiah Szalapski

Isn't he adorable? I could just hold and cuddle him for hours......okay so I kind of did. ;)
