Well...i usually don't tell people this, but since i'm 5 1/2 hours away and no harm can be done...it's my birthday. The big 18...My friends Robin and Melissa knocked on my door at 8 o'clock this morning with a big birthday cake and sang happy birthday to me. It was really sweet....the cake that is...haha. But really, my birthday is going pretty well considering that I had band pretty much all day today. Until next year.......

I am definitely in the Bible-belt here in Lubbock, Texas. There are churches on every corner, and people all over campus offering you the "right church home for you". Some might be...others are definitely not. Jordan and I are visiting a local church on Sunday..and I'm pretty excited about it. Praise God in advance for taking care of me while I'm out here. Isn't He cool?

I've been busy these past couple of days with marching band. I am now a member of the Texas Tech Goin' Band from Raiderland. Unlike high school...band doesn't suck, it isn't nerdy, in fact it is really cool to be in band. We got a tour of all the athletic facilities (which just so happen to be some of the best in the nation) and we got to meet players and coaches beacuse they like us THAT much It's kinda weird attending a school where the students actually have school spirit. And the school appreciates the band. To be honest I'm pretty pumped for the football season to start...Rose Bowl????
