Return of the...hmm..not Jedi...not Jafar...Return of MELODIE!!!

So, I put blogging on hold as my life took a few unexpected turns, but now I'm back, but I'm not sure how long for. There is something terribly exciting about venting emotions and things on a public forum. It is probably my favorite thing to do. That's probably why I got into writing poetry. I guess the extra medium of throwing words onto paper or the internet is really something that I enjoy.

So...an update into my life. Michael and I broke up on Feb 1st, and after much discussion we got back together on May 19. We have been enjoying our time together since then.

I have been doing a lot of religious studying which has lead to a lot of different beliefs that are changing. I love the Lord so much, and I want desperately to do what he wants me to do. Now I just have to figure out what it is.

I have had some strange strands of depression the past few months. I just all of a sudden feel terrible and worthless and just...sad. And I get upset and I cry and I cry, but I know that nothing is really wrong. I don't know. It's pretty strange. I've done it a handful of times, and It comes and goes. But I've just been overly emotional.

I've been in a baby craze recently. Everyone around me is having babies, and I miss being around kids all the time. I just...I know I dont want my own baby right now. I dont think I can handle one on my own at this stage in my life, but I miss being able to babysit and spend time with children. It's tough to even find time for it with my busy schedule, but everywhere I turn...another person is having a baby. And all I can do is look at baby clothes and toys and miss being around babies. It's a tough time when a babysitter cannot be around babies. I'm suffering baby withdrawal. lol. I didn't even know you could do that, but I've got it.

Ok...also...I started another year of school!! It's going great so far! I have some really great classes, and for once I feel like I'm on top of them. I feel like I am in a whole new groove. :D I just hope I can keep it up! :D Let me see...what else...I think I can post some pictures. I'm sure I have some recent ones. Here are some of the First pictures of Fall. :D I hope you enjoy!!


Ok...so for sunday school one sunday we were trying to teach the kids a song to the tune of old Macdonald...and it was about "good old Noah" and on his ark he had two....etc. anyway...We asked the kids what kind of animals they wanted to sing about, and one of them says "Bunnies!!!" and I was like...uhhh..."what sound do bunnies make?" Michael and I looked at each other...puzzled and one of the kids says "BOING! BOING!! DUHHHHHH!!!!!" lol Never would have thought of that. But...kids know everything.

This is my dorm room. I ended up going through another roommate already, so I am working on my second for the year. We'll see if she lasts the whole year with me. who knows. lol.


The last two pictures...I did take on my own...well...I took all of them, except for the bunny one of my friends shot that with my camera. I love the last two. the flower ones. They are great! Sometimes you just want to catch nature just the way it is, and that's what I was trying to do. I love it! The rest of the pictures are just ones I took recently. I figured you all might want to see what Boone looked like in the Fall. I hope you enjoyed.
