the vow.

last night me, bishop, and brook went to see the new movie, The Vow.

it has channing tatum and rachel mcadams in it. 

it looked soo good and i have been waiting for this since december.

when we got to the movie, it was sold out (luckily we got our tickets early).

there were no seats together, so the three of us sat on the floor.

never have i ever done that before!  it was certainly a memory.

i am not sure how i felt about it.

i was a bit disappointed with the ending, for sure.

bishop loved it, brook didn't care for it.  

which is exactly what we knew the verdict would be.

my mom came along too--i felt like she was a chaperone haha.

but she just wanted to see it.  

i had spent the whole day at river road with bishop doing homework.

it was so much nicer to do homework when you have company.

before coming home, my mom had been mad at me for a picture i had put on facebook.

it was not a big deal, but she was making it so much more than it needed it to be.

she was mad at me when i got home (and ignored me) and my sister said, 

'i bet you have a note under your door in the morning'

sure enough, there was a note under the door when i got up! LOL.

but we had a chance to talk and hash things out.

i still don't agree with her view, but told her that having the pics on didn't mean that much to me.

(i took them off the day she mentioned things to be at the beginning of the week).

so we agreed to disagree.

it's this awkward time of being an adult, while still wanting counsel.

i struggle a lot with my mom, and wish i didn't.

she was even mad at me this afternoon and said she's been so 'a gas' about how ungrateful i am.

{but this was the first thing mentioned when i walked in the door from church}

i just wish we didn't clash so much.

i feel a lot that no matter what i do i can't make her happy.

which is not a good place to be at, because i am sure that causes me to stop trying at times.

but at church, i saw todd g. and he said,

'i was just thinking of you!  really.  i saw someone who was pretty and then though, oh man that's not ann'

i love being home.

but for the first time in a long time today, i felt a bit out of place.

i felt that i was an outsider.  blah.

i think it's because everyone is getting to know everyone so much better, while i'm at school not getting to know others except via phone conversations. 

the sermon was about money today and i am feeling convicted.

lots of praying to do about this mission trip to come.

and wondering if i should be going.

more on that to come.

night of worship tonight!
i literally can't wait.

solitude and re-focus is much needed right now.

{oh bishop...typical}
