School, for me, starts on monday...i'm taking 17 credit hours, which means my i'magunna be busy. 
Monday, also, means it's time to start doing the "honeymoon" workout!  i'm hoping to weigh between 175-180lbs.  So, i'll be working out like WHOA, and watching what i eat.  cause i've got 10-15lbs to lose!

Dear God,
My name is Joel Driskell.  I do music for your glory...
So, i was wondering if maybe you could make it NOT snow here in Kansas City anymore this winter...mainly because there are no mountains for me to use with my snowboard.  Also, it's hard to drive on snow, as it is slick. 
Amen.

Merry Christmas to all!!  This morning was an early morning for me.  It started off with waking up with indigestion from the pizza hut last night...not eating that crap anymore.  BLUGH!  Anywho..Up here in good ole Independence, MO, we got a little over a foot of snow...AWESOME!  Driving in it...NOT AWESOME!  Again, i digress.  So, i got over to Kass' house at 5am to open presents because her little sister is unable to sleep on Chirstmas Eve.  It was a fun morning watching them open their presents.  I got some new button up shirts, which i look f

By the Grace of God, i passed all of my classes this semester.  and with flying colors!  I have a 2.7 overall GPA...as of now.  But i WILL graduate with a 3.0 +. 
 
sidenote:
At work yesterday, i got to hang out with our 2 special needs children; Grant and Natalie.  They are so amazing, so pure in heart.  I mean, they are mischevious for sure, they like to do what they want to do, but really, they are amazing. 

So, i'm totally not in "School Lockdown" anymore!  i have completely finished all of my school work...now, i have 2 finals left! 
Wednesday morning at 8am-Theatre
Thursday evening at 5pm-Computer Science
 
WOOOT!
 
Plus, after completely bombing my Physics final, my professor let me turn in some extra credit work to boost my grade back up to a B! 
Things are looking good here!!

Here's one for you:
I recently found a desire/push to finish school(thank you sarah and Kassie).  However, this means that i will be locked up in the library at school 24/7, only to be let out to say "i do" and have a short vacation in the DR. (Which i'm excited about!!) 
 

Does anyone ever get anxiety? 
 
I only get a case of anxiety when it comes to the last month of school per semester...It's crunch time, and that means i actually have to start concentrating.  Next thursday is my Physics final...OUCH.  After that, everything is easy sailin. 
 
I can already feel the itching coming on...........Oh lord..

it is now time for me to go take my Theatre Midterm...HAHAHAHA...waaaahhhooooo!
 
So, thanksgiving is coming up...mmmmmmmm

Man, What a great weekend!  Oak Grove Youth have come a long way with the way they worship.  It was soooo encouraging, watching them worship with all they had! 
 
Fire Fall Down...10-minutes long...WOW! 
 
We are so blessed to have the experiences that we have.  Special Thanks to Josh Driller for filling in on Bass. 
 
Things are starting to take off with us, and i'm so excited to see where God takes us.  SO, tell your friends and start coming to see us!!!!!!!!!!
