A Dream Weekend

What an awesome weekend I had while down at college! Looking back it feels like a complete dream. Almost as if it had never happened. But it did! It all began Friday morning when Drew picked me up from the train station at 5am. We hung out and went to the Waffle House for breakfast! That was definitely an experience! The food was good! But definitely southern cookin! I got to see all my friends and go to society meeting and to class with Drew! I also got my eyebrows waxed for the first time by Jana, Drews sister who is a cosmotology student. Friday ended with the Championship bball game and a lock in in the gym. Saturday was probably my favorite day of the weekend. Me and Drew woke up early and went downtown and had a picnic in the park. There was a beautiful waterfall and some huge rocks farther down the river. We walked down the river a ways and found a huge rock, climbed on top and just talked for a good hour or so. Then we skipped rocks, and walked around a bit more. It was so fun! Then we went into some of the shops in downtown. Later that afternoon we met up with some other friends and got pizza and went bowling. That was fun! That evening we went to the opera and I wore my new red dress!!! Sunday was more laid back. We went to church and then lunch and then Drew was so tired from the two days activities so he took a nap the rest of the afternoon and we met up that evening. Monday was fun as well. It was Bible Conference so we went to the services, but in the afternoon me and Drew went bowling and then to the mall. It was nice just getting to be together alone. Then he took me to the train station where it was time for us to say good-bye. That was the hardest part of the whole weekend. There were tears and promises of times to come, but we both knew that it wouldn't be for another month before we gazed into each others eyes again. I already miss him so much, but I have so many memories to hold on to and another visit in a month to look forward to. This weekend was definitely one of the best ever!

The Bestest Countdown Begins!

Ok, only three more days till I get to see Drew again! I am so excited! I leave out of here at 8pm on Thursday night! And I will get to Greenville at 5am Friday morning! I cannot wait! My weekend is going to be so much fun! I get to hang out with Chris Friday morning since he is picking me up (bless his heart! He is so sweet!). Then he is going to take me over to campus! I get to go to society like old times and get to stay with my old roomies! Then meet up with Drew for lunch and hang out with him for the rest of the day! I get to even go to class with him! There is the championship bball game that night and then the girls side of campus is having a lock-in at the gym till 5am Sat morning! So, I'll get to have fun with my friends!!! Then Saturday a bunch of us are going out as a group! And me and Drew are going to the opera that night and getting all dressed up!!!! Then sunday and monday start Bible Conference and are more laid back, but I'll get to spend alot of time with Drew!!! It is just going to be so very very nice! I can't wait! I get to be with Drew again!!!! YAY!!!! I miss him so very very much! This past weekend was the 2 year mark since we first met! Hard to believe! It has been the most wonderful two years of my life! Well...only three more days to go!!!

The Happnins

Wow! It has been a little while since I last posted on here! Things have been super busy! Mom is home and doing ok. She gets so tired so quickly! She is continuing her treatments here at home. Work is going very well! I got a raise! I am now making nine dollars an hour instead of eight! I am getting a new cell phone as well! It should be coming in the next couple of days! It has a camera and video feature on it so I will be able to get some more pics on here really soon!
I am going to Bob Jones in just two more weeks to see my sweet boyfriend again! I can't wait! I am so excited! Other than that there really isn't anything else real interesting happnin here on the homefront! Just the same ol' stuff. But thats never really a bad thing.
Oh! My cut has healed nicely. I got the stitches off on Thursday and it just looks like a nice big scab! Yuck! Hopefully the scar won't be too aweful bad!
Well, that all for now! So, until next time......

Quicky Update!

Well, the excitement is over for now (I hope!) and things are kinda getting back to normal. My family is home again sp that is always good! Mom is ok. She has her moments where she doesn't feel good, but that is expected. She does have a very positive outlook on things which is really good! My sisters are back to school and dad will be going back to work next week! My leg is a little better. It still hurts sometimes. Mostly it is inside like a bone ache. The stitches are healing up rather nicely. And I ditched the stupid crutches. They were driving me up a wall! I get to go back to work tomorrow and I get to take my first marketing test tomorrow! Yay!! Life is kinda almost back to a state of normal (or at least as close as it could possibly get!).

Bad things come in 3's!

Wow!!! I sure didn't see this comin! I have had a very interesting last 3 days of my life! It all started on Saturday night. Me and Megan had just come home from babysitting her niece and nephew. It was about 9:30 at night. We pulled up my driveway and it was real dark because our lights had blown out there a couple days before. We were debating whether or not to go around the front of the house because it was lit or just go in the garage like usual. We decided to go through the front. I was joking around and rung the doorbell to "scare off the burglars!" and then we went inside. Megan went to go change and I went to let the dog out. I opened the door to the garage and saw the door to outside wide open! I shut the door and ran to tell Megan. She called her dad who is an officer and he said to call the police. We did. He also said to get away from the windows and into a stairwell. We did. Then we listened. And ten minutes later we heard a car pull into our driveway, then someone outside the house. We figured it was the police till we heard the car speed away. We were kinda confused and totally freaked out when ten minutes later the police showed up at our door. They searched the house and outside and said they saw nothing suspicious. Then after they left Megan called her dad and he said that is sounds like we got home just in time and that they had gone into the garage through the door (which can just be pushed in cuz the lock is jammed, but we usually dead bolt) and waited there till we got into the house and then ran to the woods called their buddies to pick em up and that was that.
Then the excitement didn't end there. Sunday morning I am going into church. I shake the greeters hand and kaplowee! I totally trip over my own two feet and fall right in the door way! I was totally embarrassed! Until I noticed the river of blood flowing down my leg! That's when I freaked! I don't remember too much after that cept that there was blood everywhere and somebody helped me down to the restroom where they removed my pantyhose and tried to get everything cleaned up. They stuck a makeshift turnaquet on my leg. A couple ladies had blood all over their Sunday dresses, the bathroom floor was splattered, the carpet going up to the door had big patches, my shoes were stained, and I was being rushed to the hospital! I had a nice hole in my leg about 4 inches down from my knee. I ended up having to get 8 stitches and am on crutches for the next few days! It is definitely quite interesting! Here are a few pics!!!
Then this morning I get a phone call tellin me that my car (which is still at church because I can't drive) has its interior light on. So, my parents are going to swing by cuz they are on their way back from Florida and pick it up. Hopefully the battery is not totally dead by the time they get there!!
Wow! Talk about an exciting weekend! Lets just hope I don't have another like it for a very very very very long time if not ever!

What a week!

Wow!!! Where did the week go?? It has definately been crazy!! Between babysitting, work, school, and hanging out with friends the week somehow just flew by! It has definately been a good one though! I've been helpin my friend Debbie with her kids or just hanging out with her or sorting through loads of girl scout cookies (yum!) with her! And then I have been working every day cept yesterday and today. So that has been loads of fun! I have also finished alot in my Principles of Marketing class! I am about ready to take the first test. I'm hoping to take it either Sunday or Monday. I gotta talk to my pastor to see which day is best for him. All that beautiful snow is going away, but they are sayin we may get more every day next week!!!! So that'll be tons of fun!
Mom and dad and the girls come back on Monday! I can't wait! I miss them so much! I enjoy being on my own and being independent, but I really miss my family!
And exactly one month from today I will be with my sweet, adorable, boyfriend again!!! YAY!!!! I miss him so much! I can't wait to just hang out with him and stuff! It'll be really nice to be together again!
Well, thats about all the goings on here! Nothing too exciting! lol! So until next time.....80)

Walkin in A Winter Wonderland!

How beautiful everything was when I woke up this morning and looked out the window! While I was asleep and throughout the course of the last day God had turned my quiet neighborhood into a Winter Wonderland! Everything is covered with snow! Even the trees! And it is still snowing big snow flakes lightly. I feel like I woke up inside one of those beautiful houses you see in snow globes and that I am inside that snowglobe! Here are just a few pictures! I was still in my jamies and didn't really feel like trudging out just yet. But I got a few good ones! Here is a glimpse into my God created snowglobe!
