"Must Have Done Something Right" by Relient K

We should get jerseys cause we make a great team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's Jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
YOu're ok with the way this is going to be
This is going to be thing we've ever seen

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right

Maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on.

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
YOu're ok with the way this is going to be
This is going to be thing we've ever seen."

I am sitting at home tonight, just happy to have gotten through a very hectic week, and I realized I have not put something out on the blog-o-sphere in a while, and so I decided to just sit here and write a bit.

• The name of the blog title is from the column I use to write for the St. George newsletter. Every other month I had to write a column for the church newsletter about a things that were going on in the youth group. Mostly, I just wrote what ever was going on in my head at that time. People said they enjoyed my column, so I guess that was a good thing right? I mention that because this week on Wednesday, I start to work with the college age kids at St. George's. I am pumped up about this. It has been three years since I have last worked with kids. And this time it is with a age group I have never worked before. So, I am hoping that this will be a good thing for me and especially the young adults that come. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Right now, I am just nervous that no one will even show up. We will have to see.
• An interesting thing happened to me on Tuesday. I went to vote (not the interesting thing), and walked in to the voting site. Of course at the table that you sign in at, there was one person in line, and that person happened to be in the same line as I needed to be in. That is SO about right, was the thought that crossed in my head, and I then proceded to wait in line. As I did wait, the lady at the table that was to sign in everyone for the A-D names, look at me, and said, "You've lost a lot of weight since the last time you have been in here." I looked at her, and said, "Yes, I have almost lost35 pounds (I am over 37 now:)". She then proceeded to tell me that she could tell, and to keep it up. I was FLOORED. It was awesome...I have only heard that thought from a hand full of people, and to hear it from a random person like that was great. I finished voting, and went straight to the gym. Had the best workout I ever had.
• My heart is hurting for New Orleans right now. Hurricane Gustav is just churning away, and once again, a massive hurricane is beating down New Orleans like a manical Girl Scout trying to make quota. Now, I know that God does not like nor want suffering...but I am praying that this horrible storm will SLOW way down before it comes back near land. The Big Easy, has not had an easy time since Katrina, and I think this storm could very well be the end of that city. I also pray that everyone gets the heck out of there before it gets bad.
• Yesterday was a story of two friends with cancer. One found out that she did not have breast cancer. I so did the happy dance. I yelled at the top of my lungs when I heard about it at work, and scared the heck out of some random lady that was walking to her car last night. I then later found out yesterday that a very old friend of mine is have an experimental surgery on Tuesday to remove a tumor near their brain. This person is not even scared (or did not seem like it). I was amazed by the courage. Sadly this is the second time my friend is having this surgery. This is where the experimental part comes in. Please put out prayers of thanskgiving for the one with out, and prayers of healing for the one with. Cancer has taken so many people that I love and care about's family and friends. Heck cancer has even tried to take out two people I love...and I so want to beat that disease back!

OK, I am going to be now...I will try my best to be back soon to write more. Until then Go Gators, and I am...
