For Corey

This post is for Corey. He wants me to blog more like He's started doing again.

United are doing well. I'm going back to school in five days. But a busy five days ahead. Life is good.

Stay Class J-Term.

2 Samuel 14:14

"...But God does not take away life, instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him."

What an amazing verse found in the Old Testament. I had always thought of the Old Testament for it's stories but this verse truly tells the reason Christ came. God had devised the way before the beginning of time to allow us, banished people, to not remain alienated from Him. This verse totally excited me last night when I read it. I don't really know what else to say about it, it pretty much speaks for itself. God's desire is that we will not remain alienated from Him but that we would return to him and one day live with Him in Heaven. This just really excites me.

Back at the U

Well summer's over and I'm back at school. I must admit that at first it didn't seem like school without the likes of Kevin, Paul, and Justin (sorry if i left you out, whoever you are, i miss you too). At this point, classes are picking up and it definitely feels like school again. 17 hours this semester but the rest of my time at Union should be much more relaxed if i balance it right, so I'm pretty excited about this fall.

I'm pumped about this weekend as I'll get to watch the soccer team play for the first time this season. With my schedule and I don't know that i'll make it to many, if any, away games this year but I'm excited about the home games!

Things on the home front are going well. I think my parents are adjusting to have no (yep, that's zero) kids at home. I know they miss me the most but i'm sure they'll be alright together! I think they have plans of traveling all fall without us so I'm sure they'll miss us even more.

Things with Kristen couldn't be better. She's an amazing woman and everyday I come to like her more and more. I thank God for her tolerance towards me and her willingness to put up with me and date me. She's the bomb.

I've been running again. Yesterday I did 1.6 miles in 20 minutes and today I did the same distance in 21 minutes. My legs didn't hurt too much today after yesterday so I decided to try it again and it went pretty well. I'm sure tomorrow they will hurt a ton but i'm done with classes at 11 am so I'll have some down time tomorrow afternoon/evening for sure.

I'm not sure what this weekend holds yet, but hopefully it'll be a good time! I'll try to post more often than once every two months now that I'm back at school.

Until next year, stay classy summer time

The Thompsons

To the Thompsons, old and new!

What an amazing weekend I had participating in the marriage ceremony for Jordan and Whitney! It was a blast from the minute i got there to the minute we left!

Many memories were made, especially with Micah, Kevin, and Justin, and I'm very excited for Jordan and Whitney! I know God has great plans for their lives together and I can't wait to see where He takes them!

Until next time, stay classy Thompsons...

Ball'n Weekend

This weekend was pretty solid.. I went up to Watts Bar Lake with Kristen's family and we had a great time! Riding the jet ski.. Kristen's dad's new boat.. tubing with Kristen.. pulling wake boarders.. attempting to wake board... Kristen crashing miserably off the rope swing, it was a great time!

The past week has been pretty good.. I did some work for dad last week which was pretty good and I'm going to do some more this week..

What about that World Cup? America crashing out yesterday was rather disappointing, but who really expected them to go places anyway? i would have liked to see them win though.. And England were robbed today, what a shocking decision from the refs.. Argentina to win it all? they've looked pretty good so far?? Brazil are impressive as well.. We'll see what happens but i've definitely enjoyed watching the games as much as i can..

Alright well it's off to the lake with Mom and Dad for a sunset cruise..

Until next time, stay classy Watts Bar..

Summer time?

Summer is here.. finally..

it's been great to be home with the family.. enjoyed a great post season with Corey's soccer team watching them play and eventually they lost in the state championship game, but they played phenomenal... spent a ton of time with the family on the boat and jet ski.. it's been really good so far!

My grades came out great this semester, the fall will be tough but i'm excited about it.. Corey and Josh (Fern) move in to replace K Brad and Pooh Bear (who are both welcome to return for FIFA match whenever they please)... Micah and i are real excited about living with our brothers though.. Micah's off in the Philippines right now hopefully having a good time...

I'm headed to a wedding this week with Kristen up in Knoxville for her roommate Whitney and i'm really excited about it.. it should be fun, so long as she doesn't make me dance too much.. but no it'll be fun and i'm really excited about it..

I found this new place on the lake today, well i've known this island was there i'm going to explore it next weekend with Kristen and i'm excited about that too... I'm going to start shadowing at the hospital again this week also- hopefully get to see some exciting things again this summer..

Tonight dad and Corey and I burned a hornet's nest out of the bushes... we "accidentally" used too much gasoline though, and the whole tree just exploded into flames, it was awesome though and definitely one of the funnier things we've ever done... it was a good time though..

Kristen's family came over for dinner tonight that was really cool it's crazy that our parents had hardly met each other after us dating for so long but it was really fun to spend time with both families..

Time to hang with corey a bit.. Until next time, stay classy hornets...
