Nashville, TN

The head moves the mouth moves. Audio is clear, I'm still young. The music is live. The Christmas lights are just right. Did I mention the music? A piano that makes you think it came from heaven. The pool that acts like a hot tub and fire and cheese and wine so fine shall we dine in a hurry though because it's almost time for the ceremony. I guess enjoying comes easy around here. Sleep til when ever. Stay up til when ever.

Switch gears a bit.

Communication. Distance. Mouth full but nothing is there. Under current of conversation alive but dead. Stopping this train of thought making my fingers work slower on the keyboard. Self reflection. Pondering needs. Hoping for connection. Carrie Underwood (I switched gears again) I haven't met her yet, but she's close I can tell. Within a 100 miles. Within at least 2 friend connections which was probably 3 3 days ago. Closer. Closer. God's will. Hope. Peace. Confidence. Trust. God's best.

Wine. Freedom. Moderation. Love. Abundance. Poetry. Love. Writing. Enjoyment. Relating or connecting; ultimate high. Seeing how far I've drifted away from a loved one, ultimate low. Holy Spirit connects and reconciles. Prepare the way for the LORD. Wisdom. Trust. Hope. Love. God's Hands.

Good night.

Subing has been great!

I'm getting ready to head to Nashville this Wednesday! Oh boy! Then I'll be back in NE for Christmas and the following week. I've got 2 more days of high schooler's this year. But I'll be back in January for more!

I got some info for a community theatre here in Hugoton. I'm might have to check that out.

We'll I better go break the ice for the horses to earn my keep around here.

I hope everyone is having a merry, peace filled, joyous, love abounding, Christmas!

8th Grade

I spent the day with 8th graders today. Yesterday I got my substitute teaching application done and they put me on the list! I stayed up late and checked for jobs online at 2 AM and one showed up for the next day! I was excited to sub so I did it. It was fun, I was nervous partly because of my clothes. When I dress up for stuff I always feel like a newbie. "Oh look at the newbie, remember when we used to wear clothes like that?" Oh well. I tried to find some clothes at the store tonight, but I need my Mom to tell me what to wear. Oh man, did I just type that? I am tired. Hopefully I can get rested and ready for High School tomorrow!!!

The Shafer's

This isn't the most recent pic, but it's close. My sister wasn't back for Thanksgiving. She was down in Mexico watching the ocean come and go. We had fun doing a project for David's (my older brother) kitchen. Now that he has a girlfriend his house is looking like a real home, and it smells good too! Michael is about ready to graduate he doesn't know what he's going to do. When Jess (my sis) isn't in Mexico she attends Belmont U in Nashville, TN. She will (hopefully) graduate this fall. My mom is working on her masters for teaching. And my Dad is wondering what he will do when all of his kids are out of the house. He'll probably get a motor home and travel around visiting all of us.

That's a short look at the Shafer family. Stop by some time, I'm sure they'd love to pop you some of their famous popcorn. You'll have to watch home movies of our family though because that's all we ever watch for entertainment.
