| Well, I'm back from my amazing weekend with some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. I love these people so much. I had some awesome conversations with mis amigos. I just want to make a shout out to my homies at the Shack...I love ya'll. And especially to my Curly hair house, you always got my back...oh last but not least the Granola Hut ladies you always make me feel wanted.
This weekend really opened my mind and soul up and I enjoyed every minute of it. You people push my spirituality in ways I never thought possible, I appreciate everything you have given me.
I never would have thought I'd be at USC having the time of my life with such outstanding people.

| So yea I'm not really a huge fan of the winter...I hate being cold with a passion. BUT, for some crazy reason I have been yearning to be outside, on a blanket, in the sunshine and even stranger wanting to go camping or something. Just doing something outside. It's a very odd thing for me to want that, let alone yearn for it. I've always thought this time of year was real pretty looking, with the leaves changing colors and everything. Someone also brought to my attention a lovely sound you hear when you walk on the already fallen leaves. Maybe this is a permanent change in me or something. I still hate the cold but I just want to be in it. Go figure.

| Why does every Halloween have to be so boring. I took a very nice walk, with a very special someone. But still...nothing to do with Halloween. I think ahead every year and say "you know, this year I'm going to go have fun. I'm going to dress up. Or at least watch a scary movie but no." Well neither happened, instead I was home by 10:00, I think, and watched a very weird, very disturbing movie. I'm going to say this now and you all can hold me to it, next year I will have a costume and I will go trick or treating and I will watch a extremely scary movie. My Halloween will be full of Halloween things.

| Apparently their are such things as love languages...these languages are how people express their love and care for others, and how they feel loved and appreciated. There are five of these languages; quality time, touch, gifts, words of affection and acts of service. Let me explain...
First is quality time, this is spending time with others...por supuesto. Sometimes they spread themselves too thin. Then there is touch, this does not mean sexually but it could be patting someone on the back, giving a hug, giving a high five, etc. Third is giving gifts, this does not mean buying socks for someone on their birthday. This means taking the time to pick or make something specific and special for your loved one. Putting a lot of effort into this is the point, coming up with a gift that the individual would really appreciate and love. Like when a friend of your's has moved into a new house and you want to give him/her cleaning supplies b/c they have a lot of cleaning to do and have nothing to use or a picture to add to their living room. Another is words of affection; encouraging, lifting up, strengthen, etc. These people are especially good at confronting someone. In other words helping another to see their mistakes b/c they can make it a positive experience rather than a negative one. Also sarcasm is not encouraging. Last but not least, service; this is cleaning for someone after they have cooked for you or helping to build someone's loft with them, lending a hand with a meal, taking someone home so they don't have to walk, etc. Doing for others is what these people do best.
Not only do people show their love in these ways but they feel loved when you do it back. I try to serve others; make a meal for them, cleaning up for them, making a picnic or driving when I know the other person is tired, it could be a number of things and when people sacrifice for me I feel the love as well. I also like to be touched and told affectionate things, I feel more secure. You can have more than one that you do or like poeple do for you. I see myself giving hugs or hgh fives to friends, if I'm especially comfotable with a person I'll rub them on the back or something. One that I need a whole lot a work on is words of affection. I am a ver sarcastic person and it can rub people the wrong way and not be up lifting at all.
Well that's my shpeal for tonight. Buenas Noches mis amigos.

| Wow, it's been a minute. Things have changed so much since my last entry, some for the better, some not so much. A friend of mine read my last entry and asked me if I was doing better b/c apparently it was not very up beat. Well...they have...I'm at a completely different school with an amazing group of people. The women I live with are the best I've met in a while, honest and put Christ before anything else. I t's been a while since I've had real relationships with other girls. God has blessed me so much. I also am involved in one of USC's campus ministries that has been by my side to pick me up when I've been down this past summer.
I was just thinking about how amazing God is. He has seen me at my best and worst, when I'm not giving at all and when I spread myself too thin...but what I have always had a hard time understanding was how much he'll give to you even after you haven't given anything. To be honest it's been a long time since I've let God run my life, and just recently I let go of trying to control what was going to happen and what wasn't...it's just too much for me to handle and I'm glad God will do it. He has given me so much and I don't deserve it. I went to church the other night and the lesson was about being ready for when Jesus comes and having enough oil for your lamps. People get so caught up in how lovely and happy life is supposed to be when you become Christian...and it's just not true!!! Being Christian is about sacrifice and giving...we can look for the positive but the real gifts are going to be in heaven....I never want to lose sight of that again.
Well enough for tonight. Buenas Noches mi gente...mucho amor!
