My Dad the Superhero

This is a blog that i wrote about my dad on myspace a while back.......

My dad is amazing!!!!!!and i think today was the first time that i actually thought to myself" my dad is really cool."they say that as you get older you start to realize has much you need your parents....and heck yes is that true!!!!and also im realizing how great my dad is.....and my mom too....but its just different with my dad.....it always used to bug me when he would want to hang out with me or always want to know where i am but it doesnt really anymore.....And the more i thought about it i realized that he's just trying to protect me....he's already lost a daughter(so youre not really confused, before i was born my parents had a daughter, but she passed away before she was 2).....so im realizing that he just loves me so much that he doesnt ever want anything to happen....and i dont blame him...he's a really cool and talented guy.....he's good at pretty much everything...which is really odd.....lol......he used to work construction, he was in politics and now he's a pastor....in fact back in the 80's he turned down a job that payed 3 times more to take the pastoring job at bible temple(which is now city bible church) .........................He's always been there for me.....he's been my encourager all my life, from playing sports to my music and playing drums and stuff....he's always complimenting and bragging to other people about me...My mom always tells me how proud my dad is of me......and of course i dont know why, cuz i dont think im anything to be proud of, but i guess ill know when i become a parent......lately ive been going through some tough stuff, and more than ever he's been here...telling me he loves me.....seriously he probably tells me that he loves me about 50 times everyday......but its only been lately that ive really noticed it....in todays society more than ever, there have been so many broken families.....and ive taken for granted the fact that my parents are still together and the fact that they love me....they dont do anything to me but love me....and im SOOO thankful.............Ive gone through things in my life and ive pushed my parents away so many times, but they never gave up on me...........especially my dad.......and that why im thankful...................................................when i was little he would scratch my back and sing worship song to me....he would only sing a rotation of 3 songs....and i have to admit that yeh he doesnt have the greatest voice in the world, but im not complaining.....cuz he did it out of love.......still to this day when ever i hear those songs that he would sing to me, i cant help but smile because i remember.........now more than i ever im starting to realize how much i love and appreciate my dad......and i think the most important thing is that im realizing how much he loves me.....

IM TIRED!!!!and SOCCER IS BRUTAL!!!!!

well the reason im so tired is cuz i went to bed at 4am last night....my sleep schedule is totally out of wack!!!and the reason soccer is brutal, but also very fun, is well...it just is.....i was up at the dorms and a few of us decided to start a game of soccer....what began as a little game of 5 girls against 4 boys turned into this huge game!!!by that time it got crazy...and it was dark.....i got taken out by one of the guys, im not sure which one....but yah, my ankle kinda got messed up......i went to steal the ball, and yah the rest is history......ah it hurt soo much right when it happened.but heather and mark helped me over to the step and it got better the more i moved it and stretched it out.......but ya up until that point it was REALLY REALLY FUN...
and no worries about the ankle...the more i walk on it the better it gets...as long as i dont put all my weight on it.....

I'm SOOO EXCITED!!!!BUT ALSO WORN OUT!!

so looks like all of you guys (all my favorite people in san diego, cuz youre the only ones who read this pretty much) are going to be in seattle next week and im gonna come visit by any means neccessary!!!!even if that means i have to walk there!!!!oh you know im serious!!!!!lol....
OH I CANT WAIT!!!
today was kind of a trying day for me.... nothing really important happened but i realized alot of stuff that i really need to work on.....God has really been testing my self control and my character lately......I know theres a reason for why things happen and why we have to go though certain things in our lives that eventually make us stronger.....which is what im going through right now.......i just want to be ok........and im getting there..by Gods grace.....

Banquet,banquet.....ahhh banquet

3 words come to mind when i hear banquet:drama, drama, drama......geeeez.....
today has been the most emotional drama filled day......
but everything got worked out...and im going and im going to have fun!!!!and banquet night is not going to be drama filled......its going to be drama-less!!!!
NO DRAMA!!!!!!!

well i guess we can throw the routine out the freaking window

so i realized tonight that i dont really have a routine for when i go to bed.....
honestly usually 'normal' people put on pajamas or sweat pants or whatever and brush their teeth and go to the bathroom and then go to bed...
but tonight i was lying in bed fooling around on my computer and i was getting kinda tired so i decided to go to bed....but i couldnt figure out why i was kinda uncomfortable....and then i realized....i still had my jeans on....i seriously was like fully dressed....what an idiot....
and i realized that i dont really have a routine before i go to bed.....i just get in bed and go to sleep....so yah....brushing my teeth might be a good idea...and maybe putting on some type of sleeping clothes.......ya i know.....julianne is a little odd....but im sure you figured that out the day you met me...depending on who is reading this...

3 posts in one day...yeh im a nerd....

ok so i just accidentally deleted all my music on my itunes.......dang it....
but what i wanted to say was that tomorrow i started my secular music fast....God has really been challenging me with music.....Music is my life....but because its such a big deal to me God doesnt want it to be a 'bigger deal' than He is...ya know?so tomorrow im starting my fast....im fasting til the end of school..which is may 21....i know its going to be hard......
i was deleting some of the songs off of my itunes and it was sooooo hard to do....but even the fact that i was so attached to the music i was deleting really shows that i need to do this.......
and i know that at the end of all this the dependency that i had on my music is gonna be converted to dependency on God, and my relationship with him will be alot stronger....
and by the way, i dont know what happened but all my music is back on my itunes.....
ITS AN EASTER MIRACLE!!!!haha

singing country songs at the dinner table

OMG it was SOOO great it was me, my brother and sister in law, her two friends jana and katie, jessica, my friend heather, and jeremy sitting at the dinner table singing along to this country song.....it was sooo great.....i think its been the best easter of my teenage life....my parents didnt get me an actual easter basket but they got me really cool shoes and lots of chocolate...so needless to say, i was happy... my friend heather came over.....and yeh we all had a really good time,....OH i have really REALLY exciting news....my friend crystal got engaged on friday....i am soo happy for her....this girl is the most amazing person you will ever meet in your entire life!!!!shes is pretty much my sister...she calls me her sister...so yeh i guess we are sisters.....haha...
i also have some news thats got me really bummed out.....my parents are going to africa next month...and im sad for 2 reasons and scared for 1......1:im sad cuz they wont be here for pbc banquet and 2: i really want to go to africa..i have such a heart for africa.......i wanna cry.....
and im scared because thats alot of traveling and flying that theyre gonna be doing....and i get REALLY REALLY nervous when my parents, especially my dad cuz he flys alot, fly.....ever since sept 11....my dad was actually in the air flying to somewhere( cant remember where) on sept 11.......so please keep them and me in your prayers.....

pretty much cuz i love my friends in san diego

ok yeh......
pretty much the only main reason why i started a blog is cuz pretty much freaking everybody i know in san diego has one too....yah i know I FOLLOWED THE CROWD!!!!!!
haha...but no seriously i just thought it would be a cool idea cuz they can read about what im up to and my crazy random thoughts that i write at 3 in the morning cuz i drank too much red bull before going to bed....so this is for you all in the amazing city of sd!!!!
Happy Easter......today is gonna be the usual....my parents and my brother and sister are gonna come over and we're gonna eat.......but my friend jeremy is gonna deep fry our dinner......well actually just the turkey....yah i know most of the "normal" people in america are either eating ham or going to taco bell....but no....the loumans are deep frying a turkey...........
i invited some of my friends over so im hoping they can make it and partake in some of the insanity.....another thing too is that every year my mom surprises mr with some kind of easter type thing....i dont think she got me an easter basket...cuz lets face it...im 19 years old, but she usually gets me something....like chocolate or something......and since i havent left my room yet today, cuz i woke up like a half hour ago, my surprise might be waiting right outside my door....OH THE EXCITMENT!!!!!hah.....well anyway im hoping that you all have an AMAZING EASTER!!!!!and remember the real reason for the season!!!!well actually its not a season, its just a day, but if you think about it logically....ahh forget it....just remember why we celebrate today!!!
