Wedding Weekend....and Police!!!

2008-05-03T20:20:00.001-07:00

OK here is how my weekend has gone, the end is good!

Everything thus far has been pretty wedding themed it feels like, well except the whole getting pulled over thing, but ill get to that in a min. Last night was so fun to just hang out with "the girls" i know that sounds so dumb but everyone was decorating and getting ready for Julies bridal shower to day and then we all watched "27 Dresses" it was just a fun night of some quality time.
Today i woke up so early from the storms i guess, not really sure why i couldn't sleep because i normally never have issues with that. but i did none the less so me and Mom and Mimi all went to breakfast and shopping, then of course to Julies shower, that was lots of fun. after the shower there was then more shopping with mom followed by a movie, of course non other the "Maid of Honor" by the way i think i liked it more than 27 Dresses but i will say there were a few little awkward parts. Anyways so here is the interesting story of the night:

OK so after the movie i had to take mom back to her car at the mall, but first i had to get gas, so i went to the "cheap" (haha) place over by Wendy's so obviously i was needing to get from the gas station all the way across 2 lanes and into the turn lane to go straight to the mall. well as i was swinging out to get into the turn lane straight a man in the, we will say, older stages of life decides he too is going to get gas at the "cheap" gas station, well he then decides that my turn lane I'm moving quickly into is the same lane he wasn't to use. so here we are not headed head on for each other, i slightly freak and swerve to the right in the other lane so once he also swerves around me i try to get back into the turn lane but I'm at such and awkward angle I'm like half in the straight lane half in the turn lane. now i have all these people mad at me because they cant go straight on their green light. so just when i think I'm gonna get the turn signal and get out of every ones way, it skips me! yes so i don't know what to do at all I'm still blocking everything! so mom decides to give me some motherly driving advise and say " when the other lanes clear you just need to go ahead and turn left so you don't get hit" "but mom its RED" "well that's better then getting hit maybe" "alright fine, your right" ...... i turn.......i then say "hope that there is not police around" well.....i was not even fully turned when i see the lights come on, i mean seriously he must have been right behind me, and of course i was listening to mom and not looking for cops. so my heart is just pounding so hard at this point since i have just almost had a head on wreck and now am being pulled over for running a RED light right in front of a cop with my mother in the car, because she said to!!! so of course he gets out with his little flashlight in my face and i hand him my licence, and i say "excuse me, do you think i could explain to you why i just ran that light.....?" he says "haha, go ahead" i think he could tell this was going to be a long story. so i then tell him everything that had just happened, as calmly as i think i could at this point. my mom then chimes in as if my rambling wasn't enough at that point. i finally finished my story with, "man this must just sound like a whole lot of crap, but it truly did happen and i promise i don't just run red lights for fun, i really don't mind waiting" pause....... "OK" he handed me back my licence and i was on my way!!! oh my i could finally breath! mom goes, "that was an adventure" well your telling me! anyways the whole way home i seriously just could not believe what had just happened. and there were police all over the place, something must be going on???? hmmm anyways i thought that was worth blogging about, although I'm sure alot of people stopped reading it a while ago, so goodnight! and thank you nice police man!

sad

2008-04-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

Yeah even though Jason and David Cook are still in i am very sad that Brooke White is gone, i really liked her.....oh well she will still do just fine im sure.

Sorry if you are actually reading this and don't like or follow American Idol....

Just some thoughts onlife and american idol....

2008-04-29T20:30:00.000-07:00

So life has officially become more hectic then ever!!! yes, it seems like i am always saying that and yes, you would think that i would be at home all the time with mono, and i am trying to a lot but you know life doesn't always just stop when you are sick. So from here on out literally every single week/day/hour is filled up work the rest of this week, auburn the next week before their graduation on sat. Regions the ALL the next week, last few days at the golf course after then a wedding and before you know it camp training and camp itself will be here, 7 weeks of then then Ireland for 4. thats it my whole summer right there. thats so much i think it might just stress me out a little. but its ok i feel like God has some pretty awesome things planed for this summer, at least thats my prayer. I am going to have so many awesome opportunities its unbelievable, and even though it will be a busy one i dont want to take a day of it for granted.

Now on to American Idol tonight: i think it will be kinda hard tomorrow to predict who is going home. even though i want to agree with Simon and say Syesha is in trouble she unfortunately continues to get better, but i don't think she is the best so i will go ahead and agree with Simon adn say bottom 2. then we have Jason, obviously one of my very favorites, i liked it first song then thought that second could have been better, but i continue to just like him in a whole, will that be enough to keep him safe? i don't know, i know i voted for him because he has awesome potential! we will just have to see on that one. then there is Brooke, first song i agree with Simon even though i love her it was just to total wrong song! second song i loved! i think she did sing it better then anything she has sung in the past few weeks but i also feel like it is very similar to other weeks (referring to let it be, Beatles week #1) so not that i don't like her, because i do alot! i just dont know if that was enough to keep her out of the bottom two, but i do hope her fan base will also help keep her out of the bottom or home. the Chris's i think that archuleta, i mean really it just doesnt do anything for me. not that his voice isn't good, because i think it is very good. but i feel like even even when like last week he changed up the arrangment it still just sounded all the same. i like him but i think he is just s few years to immature for this right now anf if he won i just dont know who he would market to. anyways i think i coved them all oh oh nnd now i have to go to sleep! ill talk about dancing with the starts tomorrow.

By the way that is a picture of Heather and i at the barns for her dad's beday!

MONO = SAD FACE

2008-04-23T15:56:00.000-07:00

Just so everyone knows, i finally went to the Doctor today because i was NOT getting better,
Turns out i have Mono AGAIN....yup it has not even been a year since the last time i had it. so the doctor then informed me to get better i will need to do alot of cutting from my busy normal hectic schedule...and get REST.....im also going to be going to an allergist to get the allergies better and try to build up this immune system

Sick of being Sick part 2

2008-04-21T20:46:00.000-07:00

Yeah, i can almost count the days i was well with my fingers......i don't know what is wrong with me??? and really i don't, i have not been to the doctor basically because i refuse to go AGAIN, im hoping its just a common cold plus a little allergies, nothing a little drug store medicine wont take care of. in fact thats why im writing now, just took the Alka-Seltzer sleepy medicine and im eagerly waiting on it to take affect since i have not slept very good the past couple days.
So, now that im sick again i am realizing that even tho i laid low last time i was sick it reminded me how much i need to cut back on my schedule, its normally constant every week for me, and last week with cheer leading everyday it was even more hectic. so if you don't see me around quite as much that is probably why. at least being sick and not able to sleep has its one and only advantage, scrapbooking!!! i was able to get so much done today!
anyways this was just a quick little update, i do hope that everyone else is having a wonderful and HEALTHY start to the week. im now off to read and await the sleepiness to sink in. Goodnight! - Abby

It's about time!!

2008-04-15T11:38:00.001-07:00

It has been so long since i have blogged, so for at least Amanda and Rachel who actually read this, sorry.....anyways i feel like so much has been goin on....
The best thing that has happened since last i blogged is that we went to Passion last weekend!! I was so excited because since they have has US regional this year we had to wait over a year until they came back to Atlanta. if i can figure out how to post the link i will out up the intro, witch btw was amazing! it was just a great weekend, that also happened to be Scott and Amanda's birthday, yup that's right Scottie turned 30!!!! crazy crazy....
Other then that April has flown by and been so busy.....between work and class and passion going to auburn etc.... this week to add to craziness some of us are helping heather out with cheer clinics and tryouts. it has reminded me that i am really not in shape and have not done any "cheering" in a really long time, but no worries i finally learned everything.
oh, and let me mention the weather these past two weeks! ridiculous! yesterday Rachel and I didn't no if it was hailing, sleeting, raining? weird things are going on with this weather, just last wed. Peyton myself and Rachel all laid out in yes, 85 degree weather, this Tues below freezing on the way to work....go figure.
alright well i guess that is all for now. hopefully it wont be as long before i have something to say again.

Almost April!!

2008-03-31T09:25:00.000-07:00

So....I cant believe that it is going to be April tomorrow, I mean seriously did we not JUST celebrate New Years? I cant believe how fast time can fly, and April I'm sure is going to go just as fast!
Anyways this past week was pretty boring, still sorta sickish, I mean sick just not really. you see I went back to the Doc Sat night cause I felt awful and it turns out that blood test and other tests are all negative now so all the yucky stuff I had Mon was gone! But what is going on now is what he called "Auto Immune" basically I was sick 3 weeks out of March so my immune system didn't know what to do anymore so it apparently was quite sure how to keep everything balanced, which is what was causing the lymph nodes to be swollen, which caused the throat and ears to hurt....I know its just ridiculous how everything works. so on top of that the antibiotics were killing the bad germ but in turn also killing good germs, and because my immune system was going to crazy or confused I like to call it it, I started getting whitish places in my mouth that hurt! meaning I couldn't eat, and with out food med. then made me sick to my stomach. But Sat the Doc got me a couple different med. that I think it sorta starting to work. I'll let you know! And if none of that makes since, my mother the nurse I'm sure can explain everything a little better.
So, I guess that sorta lets everyone know what exactly has been going on and why nobody has seen me four a while. that also explains why I am not going to go to Woman's Retreat, not that I don't want to, or that i wouldn't like it, trust me I know I would. but I feel like going and going all weekend then going straight into the week and then straight to Passion would probably just not be the smartest because I don't want to get better and then push myself and end up here again..... Hope that all makes since, I will miss everyone this coming weekend and cant wait to hear about it all. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mon.
Oh, I'm officially starting my scrapbook for 2007!!!

So Close....

2008-03-23T18:57:00.000-07:00

Ok so my title has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm about to say but it is a good song that i like right now.....Anyways......Why can i not stay well???? i feel better for no more then 2 weeks then end up sick again, explain that one to me.....i take my med, i change my toothbrush, i even mouthwash every day, sometimes even twice a day. but still here i am again running a fever earlier today and swollen (lymph nodes) i know i probably slaughtered that spelling but you know they are in your throat and get sore when your sick... i know one thing, i do WAY to much in a week to week basis and NEVER get enough sleep, so with that said that will be my goal this week....to get more SLEEP!!! Good Night!

Oh if the picture wasn't some sort of a hint i Watched Enchanted tonight and i love it, but like always i am a sucker for chick flicks and Disney Movie's so this was right up my alley.

Spring Thoughts

2008-03-18T08:00:00.001-07:00

Last night me and Wes were what i thought just going to meet a friend Taylor to hang out, well it turns out he was at the Southeastern Prayer room at the time so thats where we met him at. honestly it was a mon night and we were going to hang out with a friend so worship and talking to the Lord was not really first thing on my mind. But we ended up staying there and it wasn't until it was pitch black in the room, i was sitting all alone and worship music was playing so loud you couldn't hear anything else that i realized how much i did actually have on my heart to talk to the Lord about, i just normally go on about my day and put off any thoughts until im about to go to sleep, kinda like i use all my energy through out the day so by the time im in bed i give the Lord the last few thoughts i have before i slowly doze of in mid thought. All that to say i just really enjoyed my time with the Lord last night, that whatever i had to say was just as important as anything else going on right then in the world, and to have a savior that died just so he could be friends with me deserves more that a few good nights a week of me giving him the "privilege" of me talking to him, i should talk to him and worship him like that everyday, because i have the privilege to all the time with Him.

Anyways it is spring break and we (me and wes and his parents) are going back to the lake today, and then tomorrow going to Atlanta for his interview and then spend the day hangin out there. hope everyone is having a good week!

Song from the Commercial ....

2008-03-11T13:22:00.000-07:00

Sat Thoughts:

2008-03-08T08:00:00.001-08:00

Okay, here are some thoughts going through my head cause i have not blogged in a few days:

I feel ALOT better then I did all last week! I am in Auburn right now with Heather, visiting people and going to baseball game, I had a not very good dream last night that I wish I didn't have, we are going to Target to look at swim suits which could turn out to be fun, or not. I finally saw Remember the Titans last night for the first time! And yes I was so upset when the car wreck happened! Last night I spilled chick-fil-a Polynesian sauce on my jeans that had just come out of the dryer, hate when that happens. Thanks to Wes's washing machine Heather and I both have very clean jeans! I woke up this morning (Sat morning) at 9:20.....Right now, I like having good true friends, friends that are honest, and don't say something just for the satisfaction of saying it. I couldn't be more excited about spring break officially starting a week from yesterday, not that I have huge plans or anything, and I will still have to work, but I still can be excited. I will finally get to hold my sweet niece when I get home! Oh, and for the record I still think that "What I Like About You" the Amanda Bynes old TV show is my favorite! I cant wait for Wed, I have my reasons....Overall I would say words going through my head right now are: Thankful, Patience, Timing.

Being Sick is no fun!!

2008-03-03T20:50:00.000-08:00

Being sick is never fun but especially when you have a new niece coming home from the hospital tomorrow!! Yup for the few that don't know Ashley and Noel had their baby last Fri the 29th, so hooray for Lead-Year babies!! Anyways she is absolutely Beautiful, i just cant wait to hold her!
So it is now almost 11 o'clock about the time i would normally be going to bed, but due to the fact that i could not even move earlier today i slept ALL day, literally didn't leave the bed all day, so that leads up to right now being wide awake just waiting on the storms. Speaking of storms, after the storms coming through tonight we are going to BACK down into the low 30's and i am not happy about that, its march and these awesome days were it is getting nice and warm outside are becoming such a tease for spring weather!
This weekend was so nice to finally get to spend some time with Wes since it had been Forever! between him and the baby i cant complain at all. This Fri Heather Lou and I are going to Auburn for the VMI baseball games, i cant even believe it, I'm finally going to see VMI play baseball.
Well that's it for my 11 o'clock thoughts, its back to bed for me. Hope everyone else stays nice and well, because honestly there is no good timing when it comes to being sick!

Monday, the Best Day.

2008-02-25T08:05:00.000-08:00

Today has been a really awesome Mon. as I'm sure Peyton will also blog about since we are sharing this day together! First i studies forever last night knowing we were going to have a very long Spanish vocab this morning and then a Spanish test on wed. well this morning i wake up and first off can talk alot better then yesterday, so that's already a good thing, then we get to class and of course only about 3 of us actually knew there was a vocab quiz, so everyone was in a frantic rush to study terms when an office lady came in and said that shay (out teacher) had the flu and class was cancelled. now don't get me wrong besides the fact that we have alot of terms to learn for vocab i really do like our teacher and would never "wish" for her to get the flu, but who doesn't like a class to be cancelled when you have a quiz! so me and Peyton then go to go sit down at McDonald's and listen to all the happy employees truly enjoy being at work, that in its self would amaze anyone. so it being so early me and Peyton decide were going to go check out the new Jeff State building, just for kicks and also try to find the library down there, just because we can. Well that of course was an adventure in its self between parking on a "bridge" and wondering around into "cafe" rooms that actually mean "were having class in here but we will make you think you can come in" but again its good Mon and it didn't matter that we interrupted a class, we don't have classes down there and never have to see them! haha Mon really are good! praise the Lord, for letting me wake up and experience the wonderful small things in life like cancelled class on Mon mornings..... Anyways this week is going to be good i can just tell, and by that i mean no baby yet but this week will be so good, what else could make it better besides the baby finally being born! That's all for now, hope everyone else is having just as good of a Mon as i am! - Abby

For the Record;

2008-02-20T08:37:00.000-08:00

Just for the record I don’t normally go back and read my post after I type them and before I post them, so I hope it all make since....

Updates!

2008-02-20T08:11:00.000-08:00

I know I am not very good at blogging so even though I don’t have a specific topic to blog about I wanted to blog anyways just to get in better habit of it. So anyways my sister-in-law Ashley which I’m sure most know by now she is very pregnant, has been in semi-labor since Sat. now she is almost 3 cent. And pretty constant contractions, it’s just a waiting game now until she comes. And if you have not guessed I am pretty excited to finally be an aunt! Anyways I guess that catches things up on that issue. other than that things that are going on right now in my life: I have felt the past two days like I might be trying to either get sick or I’m just struggling to fight off sick, either way good news is for the most part I am feeling better. um for a couple weeks I was kind of worried about trying to get things settled for the summer and what I was going to be doing, but I will be able to work at camp the first 6 weeks on orange team, so of course I am just over joyed about that, I love orange team and love the age of 4th and 5th grade girls because they are just starting to search for things in their life. Weather there have grown up with Christian influence or never heard about Christ before, this is the time that it either clicks as to what it all really means or they understand what they are hearing for the first time which is awesome to be a part of. And believe it or not some of the 4th and 5th graders from last year have bigger problems that any of us have ever thought about. All that to say I’m so excited! and I think I am also about to start raising some support for the trip to Northern Ireland with ucf, we have deposits due soon, and meetings all through march, and the more stuff that goes on to get prepared for that the more excited I get, especially through missions conferences Sun. every time a couple would get up to talk about where they minister to or how God has worked through their ministries, the more I just wanted to stand up and say "Lord take me now somewhere to spread your word, why and I’m here just being silent, I’m ready now!" I honestly I don’t know other then short term missions if I will be "going" anywhere but I go to school and I go to work est. I just never got as excited about it till I thought about what could happen here. And I pray that that does not just last the week after mission’s conference but that that will always be constant in my life. I do trust that the Lord will direct me to the path he has chosen for my future. I trust in Him through the unsure times and the good times, and He has always proven Himself worthy. But it’s good to be reminded of that every now and then like a friend reminded me the other day.Psalms 28:7 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped."
Sorry for the abundance of run on sentences, it is a very bad habit. L

This week, this week has been so crazy, between school and work and going to Auburn tues for Wes's marketing thing and then back wed morning and then valentines going to step sing with my lovely date Heather was a blast, it really was alot of fun and the Dudes-a-plenty did awesome but i have to say Chelsea's group was also really good. then last night me and Heather and Gracie and Rachel went to Layette Al. basically Georgia for the guys last basketball game, but doing so we had to pass by Auburn so one the way home i got to un-expectingly see Wes for the second time this week! and it was so great even if it was only 30 min. it was the best Valentines ever! anyways that was just a brief on my week, this morning me and heather slept until we could not sleep anymore and then tonight is sushi hopefully that is unless Ashley has the baby tonight! i might just be an Aunt tomorrow!

Super Wed!

2008-02-06T07:27:00.001-08:00

Ok not really super Tue is over but why not carries the super days to the rest of the week, I kinda like calling the days super! so anyways me and Peyton just finished our Spanish test which I can hope I did pretty good I mean I studied and am pretty confidant on some and not so much on others, but good news is I know I have +10 points for two extra credit papers I did! Anyways so other than that last night there were a lot of storms all over, and some 44 deaths reported in the southern states, I was thinking this morning in the car while listing to the fox morning show (I do that in the mornings now) I was thinking you know I bet those people who were either sleep or possibly up taking shelter never thought that last night on super tue would be there last tue. I wouldn’t have. I mean honestly every time we even get bad enough weather to take shelter, I never actually go to the process of "this could be it" I mean I just don’t, I don’t know if that is just being plain naive or just the thought of "that would never happen to me" either way thoughts did cross my mind this morning as I was in the Jeff state parking lot cramming as much Spanish into my brain as physically possible, I thought gosh one of those fatality could have had a Spanish test today, had the storm gone different directions, that could have been me. Suddenly learning Spanish was not quite as important, I mean don’t get me wrong school is important and I do hope I did well, but in retrospect eternity is a lot more important that temporarily. So it was just a reminder to me of how I shouldn't ever hide my faith from people because you never know when it might be mine or their last super Tues. just some thoughts. But other then that I am trying to memorize Isaiah 42, so here is today’s verse; 3 He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all who have been wronged. So anyways that’s it, and I hope everyone enjoys their super wed! And btw sorry again for miss spelled words I have no idea where spell check went?

This week

2008-01-30T07:35:00.001-08:00

So i have not updated in about a week, so anyone who has not talked to me, i did decide to go ahead and turn in my application for the Northern Ireland trip with ucf this coming summer! yeah im pretty excited! and also for the time being i will be staying at the golf course working until june with the posability of working camp until Ireland, yeah i know that is alot of maybe and such in there but i feel like things are a lot more figured out then they were last week. Rachel and i went and saw an extra credit spanish film last night at UAB called, "Volver" meaning Come back or somthing like that, but anyways it was not the best movie i have ever seen i mean lets just be honest it was slightly awkward and just a plain weird plot. but then today i had a spanish quiz that i studied for and even made flash card things and come to find out the quiz was nothing i had studied, dont you jsut love when that happens! but its ok i have two extra credits done! so yeah anyways, i am doing a test that Amanda gave me called "Unnquily You" and i finished the spiritual gifts part last night and my top three gifts according to the test were....in no order because i got the same score on all these for first place: Addministrativeness, Faith, and Hospitality. what do you think? sound like like me? i thought so. my least were like pastering and apostleship i think. i guess that makes since. anyways, i am going to the doctor right after math class because i have had a really bad ear ache all week that is only getting worse as the days go by :( i dont like doctors or ear aches or the medicine they give you that you have to drop in your ear so that is just all around not fun! but anyways i have things to get doing now, adios amgegos! ...... well ok i could not get spell check to work so i know that there is a lot not spelled right but just know that i tried to change it! sorry.

A Thousand Times I've Failed....

2008-01-23T23:16:00.000-08:00

A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

My Year in Review....

2008-01-23T14:53:00.001-08:00

This Week and Last, and Weeks to Come.

2008-01-23T08:20:00.000-08:00

I know i have not had a new post in a long time, bear with me I'm still trying to figure out how to get things set up, so normally when i get on here to blog i end up getting highly distracted and just playing with all of the settings. Last weekend i was in Auburn for the Snow, and it was just such a great day, i will defiantly add some photos later. i cant right now because i am at school in the library, ugh. but this week of course started out great because it is a short week, so i cant be live that it is really already Wednesday! hooray! Just to fill you in on a few things, i am currently thinking and praying alot about the summer, and what to do. you see i am kinda going a couple different directions. right now i am looking for a good job for this semester, because lets be honest i now currently have alot to pay for having just added a car payment (not a new car, my red Honda) so while i am looking for a job this semester, i am still working at the golf course. my thing about finding a different job is that previously at the golf course the last two summers i have been able to leave and work at camp and then just return the end of August and start working there again during the year, i am worried that if i do find another job that that will most likely not be the case, seeing as how most people don't just up and let their employees leave for a summer. so obviously while looking i have been pray that God would just lead me to the right job and if it works out that i should be there all summer then, that's where he wants me. so the more i look and call and apply the more i get told, "not hiring right now" "didn't get an interview" and so forth. so there are a couple of other things that have been going through my head. yeah i mean of course i am disappointed i didn't get a job, but also i cant help but think maybe God wants me somewhere else completely. Missions has been on my mind since Passion 07 when i went through the do something now part and read all about the short and long term missions opportunities, i felt then like that would be something i was dominantly interested in doing. not to mention as most of you know i am dead set on adopting a baby girl from china one day, so i am always in the back of my head thinking about how i would love to go do missions at an orphanage. but alright to get back on track, because i tend to mumble and ramble on. Every time Joel Brooks mentions the short term summer missions trip to Northern Ireland and every time the had the speakers that have gone speak, i thought gosh that sounds like such an awesome opportunity. so right now i am seriously praying and thinking about that and all the ways that that would probably not work with schedules and working and blah but also how i would just love to have the chance now to do that. so i know that this is alot of really nothing but the application for Northern Ireland is due by Fab 1st. so there is not much time and i don't want to apply on a whim i want to know that that is potentially where God might want me this summer, or is there is something else He has in store for me. So i will update you on whether or not i apply. sorry for the extreme longness of this blog hope it all makes some sort of since. Btw thank goodness for spell check!

This day needed a blog

2008-01-14T19:36:00.000-08:00

So i really have not had the greatest day, for anyone who has ever had a migraine last two days straight add that with other things and that about where i am at right now, but no worries, but i do want to say that i know some awesome people that on a weekly/daily basis brighten up my day, yes even now when i didn't think anything could make me laugh, that just go above and beyond to family to me. so basically you might not care if you are not those people but if you are thank you. A lot of people tell me alot that i sing all the time or that i always have a song for something that is said etc. etc. not that i necessarily am singing that particular song or jig well, just that i do. and i know to some people that don't like this, this person might just be you, or maybe not but that's besides the point because the more people bring this up the more that i really think about how i do think of song or sing a lot, and i like it, so ill keep doing because whether it is some stupid little commercial or a praise and worship song, or on of the many things i make up myself, and whether it is singing or talking, i want all the words that come out of my mouth to be glorifying and uplifting not only to others but to my Savior. i don't know how i got so deep in thought about that but, non-the-less that's my thoughts for right now and for the night. Goodnight Moon.

Psalm 63:5

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

Once Upon A Long Night Dreary ...

2008-01-10T19:55:00.001-08:00

Tonight i am staying with my mom in her room at St. Vincent's while she is recovering from surgery she had yesterday. she is doing pretty good but has been sick alot today from all the med so besides having to help her throughout the night the nurse has to come in every 2 hours to check stats and all that so I'm predicting this to be quite a long night....
We have had severe thunderstorms all day long and LOTS of rain, which trust me does not make for a good scene at the golf course....angry golfers and be quite rude some times! so that motivated me even more to keep looking for a different job. it is amazing how much going from such a uplifting work environment in the summer and then back to angry golfers can make you really not take for grated what you had and where you were. it can also make you realize you have got to get fed with the word all the time, other wise i would not be able to go to work with out going crazy on some rude drunk men!
Anyways i guess that is enough of rambling about that. tomorrow my sister-in -law Ashley is going to get her 4-d sonogram pictures made of the baby! it will be almost like seeing her, and i cant wait! Tonight me and Rachel did one of my favorite things to do, we looked through alot of old pictures! it is so fun to look back and see what you were wearing, or in mine and Rachel's case what color our hair was and how it was cut! plus it makes for awesome creative memory books! so for all you people out there (mainly one boy i know) that don't like taking alot of pictures one day you might just be glad you have them!
Well for some reason even though it is only 10 o-clock and i cant remember the last time i went to bed this early, I'm going to go to sleep. Goodnight.....oh yeah, me and Scott decided today that we are going to write songs together! lets see if we can actually even get one written!

Segunda Bloge, Si!

2008-01-09T19:30:00.000-08:00

Alright so i guess you can call this my first official blog since last time i didn't really say much......
So to explain the title, i am taking Spanish 101 this semester! So i didnt know the word for "blog" yet, if there is one, but when i find out I'm sure i will let it be known.......So i cant believe that it is 2008, yes i know it will be Great! haha but i still just cant believe it. Everybody knows that January means 2 great things.......yes of course first there is American Idol and second (even tho its in April this year) is Passion! i cant wait for Passion 08 and i am sad that it is not until April, but i can still start getting excited in Jan! So i guess i will say a little more about my self. (not that i think i am that great or anything) i am amazingly saved by grace, unbeknonst to me why, because there is nothing i could ever do to earn or deserve it. but i work at a golf course, some days i like it, and most days i don't. but you do what you have to do......but if anyone knows of a good job, I'm looking! i am currently taking classes at Jeff State, and like anyone else that is taking classes there you know it pretty much sucks. so other then that, there is this boy, name: Wes. he is my best friend/ bf! sorry had to put that in there...... here are some things i like:
Popping my knuckles
cheese cake
movies (preferably one that make me feel good)
my fave pair of jeans
my cool umbrella
the song umbrella
the lake
snow ( not that i ever see it )
fans blowing while i sleeping
fresh prince of Bel air
music (all of it)
my cool friends
just recently found out that i like venison
My future niece!! Lauren Elizabeth
sprite
you tube
and unfortunately facebook way to much
Well i think that's enough to let you kinda know about me a little more. i am although pretty good at giving people nick name, that's just the word on street.
I am staying with Rachel this week while my mom is at the hospital, not that I'm not able to stay at home by myself, but it still can be a little creepy. but i guess for now this is enough, for y'all 3 people out there reading this goodnight! p.s. i love spell check!
