In honor of st.patrick's day.....

Someone (jana sarti!!!) once told me I wear green all the time. So in honor of my favorite holiday (not really....I just REALLY enjoy the color green!!) I decided to take a picture of all things GREEN around my room!!! 


(disclaimer....i did not strategically place any of these items....unfortunately this is actually how many things are green in my room. And don't ask why i don't have closet doors....)

Another friend married!

First there was annie and I taking pictures at Mariah's wedding

then this picture with the beautiful bride
THEN there's mariah and I taking pictures at Annie's wedding
and this picture with THIS beautiful bride
and more pictures with mariah of course. 

I love weddings.  I love friends. I love thinking of the pictures that will be taken at my wedding one day....the people that attend your wedding sort of tell a story about where you've been and where you're heading. 
Mine should be interesting for sure. :) 
one day.

Dear Annie.....

i'm so excited you're married. 
Here are a few things i'm going to miss with you living in Kentucky.
 

1) Staff retreat for sure

2) intern lunches

3) Trips to LA to shop (including the sketchy gas station where we stopped to get gas) 
4) the ridiculous faces you make in pictures =) 

5) having so much fun with you

6) your willingness to make me laugh at any cost

7) MY FIRST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND!!

8) you screaming for your life on the ferriswheel

9) that both of our names start with an A so we could take THIS cheesy picture!

10) that this look of horror on our faces is only half exaggerated!

11) your smile that always made me want to smile too! 
I love you friend!!! SO, SO exited for you....but totally going to miss you!!!
i want to come out ASAP for a Kentucky bball game!!! 

Your friend, 
Allison 

Sick Friends!!

My 2 best friends are sick.....which leads me to believe i will be next. 



but i really love them both...enough to keep hanging out with them....even during their sickness.
i have great friends. =)  

Things i learned while babysitting today....

1) I make a mean peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. 
2) i'm awesome with playdough.....(see below)


3) i know i'm not ready to have kids....simply because i got super irritated when they mixed the different colors of playdough. 
4) toy story 2 is a great freaking movie.

i am angry.

don't judge me...but i periodically google my name just to see what might pop up. 
Old soccer articles from college and such usually keep it entertaining
but today i found out someone has allisonmurray.com and i'm angry. 
and not that i'll ever have anything important enough to make into my own website named after myself....it's just sad to know that if i wanted to....i couldn't. 

booo allison murray photography.

and for my 100 post.....

i had the BEST time at the Laker game tonight! 
Kind of a blowout....i mean they were playing the clippers...and they are pretty terrible!
But my FIRST NBA basketball game ever...SO fun. 
How is this my first NBA game you ask?
being that i'm such an avid sports watcher and all.....but i've never ever lived anywhere that's had a professional basketball team! 
so, so, so cool.

not to mention I sat about 100 yards from Mark McGrath! Across from Dianna Ross....and to the right of Jack Nickelson...and saw andy garcia walking out. 

AND no to mention how much i love KOBE BRYANT!!!!
And did i mention we were in the 6th row?!?!?!?

man, oh man....such a good night!

My life is silly.....

a couple of months ago my parents decided they would be awesome and buy me a new car. Since then....it has been the biggest inconvenience of my entire life. 

a) i haven't been able to sell the other car. 
b) the other car got broken into. Window smashed and radio stolen.  Which cost me a fortune
c)on my way to replace the stereo it wouldn't start
d) when my radio was ripped out it shorted out the battery and sucked all the power out of it so i had to have that replaced...which cost me a fortune.
e) i let someone borrow the new car and they put a dent in it. 
f) i found out i need glasses.....which also cost me a fortune. 
f) after baptizing one of my students tonight a girl walks up to me and says she hit my new car in the parking lot. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

i have no idea what crazy life lesson God's trying to teach me right now...but i'm sure ready to find out already.

Today i found this....

someone is seriously living in my car....today i found this in the front seat.
NO CLUE who it belongs to.
it's a conspiracy....i'm certain.

My friends the super heroes....

ladies, I give you.....
Zack Barker and Josh Pease
eat your heart out.

Does this belong to you???

two days ago i opened up my trunk and found the following:
  • someone's hiking attire
  • a big creepy blue duffel bag
  • a tennis racket
  • a christmas pillow

i have NO CLUE who these items belong to....or why they are in my trunk....or how they even got in my trunk! I haven't driven this car in weeks...i think i'm being framed for a murder.

This is on top of being "utility player" "video maker" and helping Jpetty with student leadership. 
Not really sure what that looks like yet but....
First step....creating a Myspace for our students to stay connected! 
the goal: 1,000 friends on myspace by April 1. 
totally do able...dont ya think??

5 reasons why i love high school ministry!

1) because this many students skipped school on monday to head up to big bear!


2) because my beautiful girls make themselves look ridiculous in pictures.

3) because i get to work with sweet Germans like Dom!

4) because i got hit in the face with a snowball.

5) I LOVE STUDENTS!!
I LOVE MY JOB!!
