Join the Club

Well, I've wanted to start a blog for a really long time. I've never had the guts to do it because I didn't think I'd update it enough. So, here's the test. I guess we'll see how often it gets updated. What better time to start a blog than right before a new semester? I definitely need something else to help me procrastinate some more. Not! I wanted a really fun, creative name for my blog. Yeah, that didn't work out so well.. My little cousins have always called me Doe Doe. We're not sure why or how they even got the name, but it has stuck and that is now what I'm known as in my family. They are basically my world, so you'll get to hear all kinds of fun stories about the crazy things they do and say all the time. :)

This morning I woke up super early - not on purpose of course. I didn't feel well, so I took some medicine and headed back to bed. I couldn't go back to sleep once I got there. That's a very unusual thing for me, especially at that hour of the morning. So, I decided to spend some time reading my Bible. The bright lamp shining in my room was the last thing I wanted to see, but I loved digging into the Word so early in the morning. I was going to take a picture of my Bible laying on my pillow with my penguin blanket, but when I tried to turn my camera on...it did absolutely nothing. Perhaps the fall from the balcony at the beach has finally gotten to it and has killed it permanently. Since I only have class on Mondays this semester, I'm going to try and start a routine every day. One that involves getting up and having my quiet time first thing. I can't think of a better way to start the day myself! I've also been on the hunt for a new Bible. There is one at Lifeway that I've had my eye on, but I really would prefer a different color than what they have. Also, a bit cheaper price would be quite nice. :) I'm going to see if I can maybe find one online today. I want an NIV/Message side by side study Bible. I highly doubt I'll find it for much cheaper, but hey I guess a Bible is a pretty good thing to spend a good chunk of money on, right?

School starts back soon, and I am actually pretty excited about it this year. I move into my apartment in 6 days. Woo hoo! I can't wait for that. Since Jessi and I both went on the New York trip for Spring Break, we have decided to decorate our living room in a New York theme. We have so many cute things to go on the walls, and I just can't wait to see what it will look like when everything is done and put together! I also can't wait to see what God has in store for this year. I have a feeling it's going to be a great one and I am so anxious to see and experience His plan!
