love languages, but not really

i think i have two love languages. they dont really fit into the 4 categories. it's like when i put on my sock that says left foot, i always put it on the right one. i dont like categories. but i digress. i respond really well to people who mercilessly mock me/tease me/ maybe even wrestle me, but then maybe like an hour or so later they come right up next to me and without saying anything, they just hold my hand. yeah thats my love language. but my second one is nicknames(!!!). especially when they don't have anything to do with my own name. so for my own sake so that i never forget how much i am loved i am going to compile a list of nicknames that I have held throughout my lifetime, and a brief story for those that are not glaringly obvious.

1. anna banana/banana/bananz

2. banana nut muffin - such an evolution.

3. keegan/keegs/keegz (distinction necessary. back off me.)

4. newkat --newk - during my first week of my first summer working at camp i (stupidly) decided to wear a shirt that said "there's a new cat in town". looked like i was trying to make such a statement. zach started calling me newcat from there and it caught on.

5. annapeno -- peno - one night for dinner at the beach i cut up jalepenos. welp. i touched them with my hands. then with my hands i touched my eyes. and my lips. needless to say i was on fire that night, couldnt fall asleep, and woke up the ENTIRE family in my desperate search for lotion, ice, anything. 

6. epi-banana - im allergic to fire ants. every time i get bit by one im fine for like 24 hours. and then the next day by upper lip swells up an ungodly amount and i have to take a benadryl.  but im a lightweight. so that normally puts me out for 17 hours at least, causing me to miss school and everything. so i have an epipen. naturally im epi-banana. 

7. ANNAmal - i made a stupid comment about animals one day. i made caroline swear to never tell anyone about it. but to taunt me and remind me that she potentially could, she calls me annamal. rude.

8. shmeebly- literally no idea. gotta love younglife.

9. professor shmeebly - the marriage between number 10 and school of rock.

10. mom/grandma - my younglife girls obviously think highly of me.

11. spike - "land before time" anyone?

12. nnaaa - my name in pig latin. glory. 

wizdom from the babez

today i took a little break from being a real live college student and went to hang out with my seester, rebecca, and her two babies, finley and cole (seriously the best nephews in the whole world). we went to monkey joes, aka a jungle of inflatable slides and obstacle courses and played our little hearts out. no, little sign that says 'under 60" only', i will not obey you. anyways on the way back from the joes i witnessed this little convo.
beebz: hey fin. when we get home do you wanna watch a bug's life? would that be fun?
fin: yeah mom. but sometimes it's a little scary.
beebz: but fin remember what i told you? in movies, the bad guys never win. so even when the grasshoppers are big and mean, we don't have to be scared. because we know that they are just going to end up losing. the good guys are going to win in the end!

oh my gosh spiritual truths. i mean honestly. we dont have mean grasshoppers making us work really hard so that they can have food while we starve to death. but we will go up against some serious things. and while everything in the situation looks big and scary and honestly hopeless, the bad guys never win.

i have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. in this world you will have trouble. but take heart! i have overcome the world. - john 16.33

we know who wins. what would it look like if we actually lived like we did?
