So at the request of Ashley, I have decided to dedicate a blog toward the new relationship in my life. Those of you that are in Montgomery have probably seen Ray once at church, but will hopefully be seeing him more in the future. Just some basics--he is from Houston, is in the PhD. history program here at Auburn, and lives with one of the guys in my own program (which is how we met). He has been in the military before (long time ago), is a pilot, and wants to work for the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Geez, I feel like I am writing an ad for a dating service. I don't really know what else to say without coming across as a total sap, but he makes me laugh alot, treats me really well (he sent me flowers the other day! ;-) and he gets along with all of my friends and family. We are both going to start coming to Vaughn Park some more since I haven't found a church that I like here in Auburn. So anyway, I know it's not that interesting, but I really had nothing else to write on at the moment so I took Ash's advice. Pictures will be coming later...after Christmas probably.

Ahhhh...no more papers!

So I am FINALLY through with all of my papers for this semester, and I have to say it feels GOOD! Only one final to go...then I'm in my last semester of grad school. WOOHOO! Thought it would never get here. Other than that, there is not much going on around here. Am looking forward to seeing some movies once I get done with all this work. Am really wanting to see "Holiday" with Cameron Diaz, Jack Black, Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Looks really cute. And I have heard that "Bobby" is really good, although sad. Will probably be spending most of my time before Christmas here in Auburn relaxing and starting to study for my comprehensive exams that I will have next semester. Will be coming to Montgomery around the 23rd to go to "Beauty and the Beast" at the Shakespeare festival, which I heard is awesome...so I'm excited about that. Ray will be spending Christmas with my family, so he will get to witness the craziness that is the Entrekin family. Games and movies galore for 4 days or so. For any of you that will be attending "Last Hour" down at the beach, I am looking forward to seeing some of you down there. I will be singing on the praise team with Mitch, but I do have to say that I feel like I will not know too many people there. It's been so long since I have been around any Montgomery people for any significant amount of time. Hopefully it will be a good time to catch up with some of you. On another note, I am getting closer and closer to being another year older...26. Never thought I would still be in school at this age, but I guess the longer I can put off becoming a "real adult" the better. If any of you read Ashley Mills' blog, be sure to read the one titled "Happy Birthmas." She has put into words what I have felt for the longest time. I totally feel your pain Ashley! :) Anyway, that's about it for now. Gonna go home and take a looong nap. It is very needed at this point.
