It's me again - I keep forgetting that I am not blogging as often as I think I do

Hey, this is Brittany,
Okay....so life is way to busy! I can't believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! I feel like my days are just kind of flying by me, and I'm not really getting anything of lasting importance done. I feel like I'm just moving along, getting swept up by the river of time, capsizing in my boat of lonliness, fighting the currents of 'good grades' and 'efficiency' that are made by the rocks of college-and-homework. I want them to be out of my way so I can get to my destination: the campgrounds of a 'real job' (...right...). I feel like I complete one task just to find I have another task waiting for me. I feel like school will NEVER be over and I've really just started...and I'm planning on getting my masters!!....and I CRAZY???
I think I just want to go live on some island somewhere, learn the language and tell them about God...oh...with Juliana*...and I really miss her right now. I haven't been able to talk to her in a long time, and we've never gone this long without communication. We keep missing each other...I got a message from her on my answering machine for my birthday, and I almost cried.

I know I sound really pathetic, but I'm being real with how I truly feel....I think I'm just understanding something that CS Lewis said about heaven being our true country or something.......it's one of those 'right brain' moments: no words to describe.

(*one of my greatest friends that lives in Brazil....we met on a mission trip...and I hope that our mansions are RIGHT next to each other...I love to worship with her...we're like long lost twins or something)

leave a message at the beep.............

BEEP

Birthday GIRL!!!!!

Hey everyone.....today is my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm finally 19 years old.... (big smile)

The totally weird thought to me is that next year...I'll be (20)!!!.......It's scary to even type!

Well, so far, not an exciting day, but yesterday I got to see my grandparents in Lindale (north tyler) and then on the way home, I stopped by a good friend's house and had a great time. Today, I went to breakfast with my parents, and then to various events with the kids I babysit. Right now, my dad and bro just left to go to Waco, and so it looks like it's just me and mom for my big birthday bash which will probably include a movie at home and maybe go to a store or something. Yeah, no big plans. It's alright...I just feel like I'm getting really old and I don't need a party, but something would have been nice...but I just didn't know what to do. I hope everyone had a great day, and I love you all!!! Thanks to everyone who has called today.....it made me feel SOOOO special!

What to do, what to do....
