No, really, I do.
But there is a website called -you guessed it- www.iwastesomuchtime.com & it is HILARIOUS!!!
You should definitely go to it. But if you happen to see something inappropriate...I, er...I didn't send you there. (: kaythanks (;
Mess.
I know, I'm the worst blogger in the ENTIRE world! I leave you guys hanging for DAYS on end & I just know you're sitting at home, scrolling up & down the dashboard waiting on MY blog. It's that special. RIGGGGGHHHHTTT.
So...once again, picking up where we left off. (:
Wednesday, July 20th: Wednesday night we went back to Ider & ended up leaving at altar call. So that was a pretty big bummer. I had plans to hang with people after church but...oooohhh well.
Thursday, July 21st: I babysat again & that night went to Ider...yet again! lol I love those people if you can't tell (:
Friday, July 22nd: After going to Macy's house Thursday night, I had a VERY strong feeling that I needed to go back to Ider for church Friday night...even though some of my friends were having a get together. So I chose to go to church, just in case something good was to happen. And lemme tell you, I'm sooo glad I did. Cause it really began the changes that have taken place in me the past week! I prayed really good (even though I didn't believe it at the time) & even though I didn't get the holyghost, it really renewed my hope! After we left, I went on to Aly's house because I figured Bailey would murder me if I didn't. So we went over there & hung out & I ended up being in SUCH a good mood! How could I not? The Lord is looking at me again!!!
Saturday, July 23rd: Saturday morning me & Blake decided to have some bro/sis time (This NEVER happens!!!) So as JK got ready & left to go to Aly's house for breakfast, we got ready & went to...Sonic. Oh yes. haha. It was nice though, just chilling with my b-bro. No fusses or anything. Just spending time. I loved it. (: We went in to the Christian book store called Leap of Faith & I bought a cd of the Christian Rock group Skillet! It is soooo good!!! We got home & ran in to change clothes before we went to Taylor & Amber's baptizing! It was really sweet! (: Then we came home, took naps & got ready for church. Church didn't last terribly long so we went over to Kacy & Jesse Wooten's house to watch a movie! We didn't know what movie it was, but it ended up being INSIDIOUS. OH.MY.LORD. Some people say it's stupid & not scary, but one kind of movie that really scares me, are movies about spirits. So I thought it was AMAZING. Me, Abby, Alicia, Blake, Toby, Ella, Kacy, & a cousin of theirs, Haley, & Jesse all watched it together & it was soo much fun! Hilarious because every girl in the room would scream when something happened or when we thought we saw something move in the house & it would freak the boys out sooo bad. Great. (: That night, Alicia's sister, Allison, also ended up giving me the new Skillet CD! For free! I was like woah! (: So I have TWO new Skillet CD's! yay!!! (:
Sunday, July 24th: Sunday morning we went to Bryant for church. Bro. Aaron is/was running revival out there & he does sooo good. And also, our church is like 4 minutes away from theirs so we just went on. haha. Anyways, church was good but it was SO HOT. Turned out to be like 80 something degrees in there! Even AFTER everyone left! But anyways, after church, I stood around talking to Shaun & Hannah since Hannah was waiting on Whitney & I was waiting on Breanna to get done cleaning the church so we could go eat. I don't really know why Shaun stuck around...but he ended up riding with us so it worked out. (: As we pulled out of the church parking lot, a truck literally came out of NOWHERE (I mean, LITERALLY, none of us -and at this time, Denita was in there too- saw that truck!) & almost crashed into mine & Shaun's side of the car. I don't even know what would have happened if they would have (I could have stuck my hand out the window & TOUCHED the truck---it was that close!) but it tore me up pretty bad. But we dropped Denita off & went on the the Party Place for dinner. We got there about 20 minutes after everyone else & the line was STILL to the back door! It was ridiculously hot & we were afraid there would be no seats (and me & Shaun decided we were NOT going to sit outside in the sun!) But we went on through the line & luckily, there were seats for us. We probably sat in the building for an hour talking & hanging out & finally we decided to go on so that Shaun could do his "work out" (I figured he took a nap.) before church that night.
I wanted to go back to Bryant that night but we found out we were having some visitors from Davenport coming to church so we went on to the BC. Once again, I'm so glad I did. Bro. Mark Cantrell talked a little but he was sooo cool. And when I went to the altar, I felt the Lord. But as always, I started to get up. He was just like "You can't be getting up." & I just stayed. There was something so gentle about him...& if anyone knows me, I do NOT like loud, screaming in your ears. So I just listened to what he said, & I did it. It was sooo amazing. I felt the Lord SO much but I don't know what happened. I know if I could have just went a little furthur, I would have made it, but sadly I didn't. He told me to just pray like crazy until the next church service I could go to & that he KNEW I was gonna make it. That encouraged me so much. They told me to tell him I would have the holyghost by the next time he saw me & I did...and the Lord came by for me again. I just couldn't get a hold of it like I should have. But it really helped me a LOT. And I believe I will have it before I see him again!
After church we went to meet up with some of the Griffin people at Guthrie's (even though we had food after church that night too...I felt bad, but we had already obligated ourselves to hang out with some people..) & after eating there, we went to meet the Bryant people at Wendy's (we got ice cream). I was on such a high it seemed. I felt so good & encouraged & if actually receiving the holyghost feels better than that, I don't know if I can handle it! But I'll make a way (: Anyways, I was telling EVERYONE I saw that if they wanted to be there when I got the holyghost, to come to Bryant the next night. I had that much faith & I felt THAT good. I was sooo ready.
Monday, July 25th: All day long I prayed & prayed & prayed. I would start to get down & that doubt would creep in but then I'd get a text message from someone telling me JUST what I needed to hear. Tristan text me & told me things that when I read it, I just started to cry. It was THAT good. I was so ready & TRULY believed that it was my night! I thought I should feel bad or whatever but when I told Alexis how happy & excited I was she told me that's exactly how she felt when she received the holyghost...that just helped me even more!
That night when I got to church, & I was so nervous. But I always felt like there would be certain people there when I got the holyghost ( I know, I need to let go of all my expectations.) like, Alyshia. And just recently, I felt like Bro. Totchie would be over me when I did, just because I've avoided him pretty much all my life cause he can really get to me! And Alyshia walked into church! I was so happy! Everyone I had asked (almost) was there. Then as Bro. Kenneth was calling out preachers, guess who was there? That's right, BRO. TOTCHIE! I was SHOCKED! I didn't even see him! So I was just like OML! IT REALLY IS MY NIGHT! Church got going & a lot of my friends hugged me or laid hands on me or both & I just bawled. That night I went to the altar & I'm sad to say that I let the devil move in & beat me out of it again. Every since, I just couldn't get my mind to where it needed to be. So, I'm asking all of you, whoever you are, sinner or saint, I don't care, to PRAY FOR ME. I need the holyghost. I know I do. And I want it, sooo bad. I don't know what it's gonna take for me to believe, but I just need a LOT of help. So please help me!
Tuesday, July 26th: I worked. I went back to church at Bryant, but again, did no good. We left at altar call.
Wednesday, July 27th: Dad wanted me to go to church at BC but Sis. Marla Byrum had IM'd me to tell me Bro. Shirley was gonna be at Bryant. I love him sooo much so that's where I really wanted to go but I didn't put up a fight, I just went to BC. But when we got there, hardly anyone was there. Uncle George was the only man & he wanted to go to Bryant so they decided to just have prayer & go on to Bryant. So I got to go to Bryant after all! I was so excited! (: Church was good & wasn't too bad long, we got out BEFORE 10 (which has been unusual.) Afterwards we decided to go to LJS/A&W in South Pittsburg but that ended up changing to Taco Bell (fine by me!) We had a good time & headed home.
Thursday, July 28th: I worked, again, & had planned to go to Bryant. But I started to feel TERRIBLE. So I just stayed home with my parents. We watched Big Bang Theory & Big Brother & just chilled. It was nice. Especially since I have been going, going, GOING for like 3 weeks straight! It's tiring!
Friday, July 29th: Today I had a doctors appointment (not really but they checked my sugar) because right after I got my license, I got a letter in the mail saying I had to have a paper signed by a physician or my driving privileges would be compromised. Ugh. I took my sugar at home & it was 134 which is GREAT for me! So I was really excited & not worried when I got to the office. My blood pressure was great, & then she checked my sugar. 261! REALLY? I had ate or drank NOTHING since midnight Thursday night & it had changed that much in just a couple of hours. I could have cried. Thankfully, I have until August 27th to get it down to normal so he'll sign the papers. So along with praying for me to get the holyghost, I really need ya'll to pray that I can keep my sugar under control! I waited SO long to get my license, I don't want them taken away now! So please, PRAY!!!
Thanks you guys..you gotta know I love you!!! -April

If you read this whole thing, you're a real trooper & you should comment! haha
Oh Lord! It's been SO long since I've blogged! Like...11 days? I think. haha. I've already forgotten.. I have a horrid memory. So here's what's been going on in my uber busy but wonderful life! (:
Okay, so we left off with me going to Huntsville with Macy, Ashley, Sis. Patti & her sister...so here we go.
Friday, July 8th: We decided to stick around the house with our best friends from the mountain! We went to Big River Grill (ahhhhmazing!!!) with Dolan, Jen, Madison, Jameson, Destiny, Rashae, Jameson, Megan & Keely! Random group, I know. But we had SO much fun! I love them all soooo much!
Saturday, July 9th: Blake & I stayed home for the first time in FOREVER on a Saturday! But it was so nice! That night, we went to church & decided to go eat afterwards. I called Zachary & for once HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED HIS PHONE! I found out he was on call coming around the bend in Chattanooga so we went to Tiftonia to meet him & eat some Chinese food! We had been craving it pretty hardcore anyways so it REALLY hit the spot! YUM! (: Abby & Haley met up with us & we had a great time! We laughed sooo much, especially when we were out by the car chatting...there was a young Chinese guy totally checking Haley out when we left so I was like go knock on the window Haley! Of course, Abby was like NOOOO!!! But Haley listened to me! (: I love it. She ran up to knock & the guy turned around & looked right at her! So she just kinda waved, made a U-turn & ran back to the car. Oh my Lord it was SOOO funny! I actually got to video it so if you wanna see it, check my Facebook (: After a while, we decided to go on home (it was already close to 12!) since we had a longggg drive to Mountain View coming up the next day.
Sunday, July 10th: We got up & headed to Mountain View JUST for Ross! He had came to see us sooo many times at the fabulous BC (Brown's Chapel!) so we figured it was time to return the favor. Church was good (Bro. David Kittrell ran it) but I was super bummed when Blake decided we had to go at altar call. Blake said it was because "everyone" was leaving for Rachel's baptizing but I didn't really care...I had Skylar & Zak there to talk to along with others...so I wanted to stay! We had drove that far for like an hour of church! What the mess! So we went on home & actually got home before church at BC started... (we had to be back because we were having visitors that night from Noah's Ark!) Church was super good & of course we went to eat afterwards (I really have no clue how I fund this lifestyle on babysitting money..oh wait, my brother helps me..a lot. haha.) We went to Lalito's & ate with Seth Hill. We were waiting on Brett & Jameson to get there but we didn't realize it was already almost 9..Lalito's closing time! Brett felt really bad about coming in & ordering so close to time for them to close so we called James & told him to meet us at Mickey Dee's. So that's what went down. Joey came as well & Jameson & Blake bought me & Brett light sabers that we swiftly turned into "Harry Potter Wands"! We had sooo much fun! Jameson totally killed Brett Just saying. And I'm pretty sure EVERYONE was jealous of our epic duel! haha.
Monday, July 11th: Mom woke me up BRIGHT & EARLY because she had obviously decided the night before that we were going to Stevenson for church! So, I got up & started getting ready. Then Derrick Simpson calls me mid-hair-fixing to talk. Anyone who knows me, knows I hate to talk on the phone. Not to mention he always calls at the most inconvenient times...while I obviously always text him when he's driving so I guess it's both our faults. But my hatred for talking on the phone is why I text. That's kind of the point. Anyways, as he wants to chat, I'm barely awake & trying to manage something decent out of my hair. Finally, I just told him I had to go & we headed to Stevenson. I was asleep before the 25 minute ride was over & groggily got out of the car & into the church. Church was good & the Lord moved towards me & I REALLY thank him for that. Bro. Totchie even made the remark "Wow, you're popular today!" haha. Someone ended up getting the holyghost that morning too! Pretty cool! But anyways, we ate & I hung out with my Yankee Twin, Lauren Avans the whole time..I love that girl!
Tuesday, July 12th: I worked that day, which pretty much consisted of me going outside with the kids for a couple of hours & then coming in to watch Cupcake Girls. So, of course, the baker comes out in me & I call my mom to see if we have cake mix & frosting...sho nuff, we did! I was very excited (: So I made a mini chocolate cake (or as Hilary Davis likes to call it, a GIANT cupcake!) & a dozen chocolate cupcakes. They were REALLY good! I was proud! Anyone wanna go into a bakery business? haha. Or need some help in one? Cause I'm sooo available! It's something I love to do!
Wednesday, July 13th: We went BACK to Stevenson that morning & had another good service. I was the ONLY one in the altar which kind of freaked me out but no longer than I was down there, Bro. Michael said I was thisclose to receiving the holyghost! I hadn't even realized I was that close but it made me feel really good! That night, none of us ended up feeling good so we just stayed at the house. I know, sad.
Thursday, July 14th: My Grandmother (who is 83, mind you!) made us the best.dinner.ever! Hamburger casserole, fried potatoes, pinto beans & cornbread! Ohhh man it was SO good & I just KNOW you wish you had some! Well I'll let ya know next time & you can come on down! (; My Grandmother is SO amazing & SUCH a light to me! She's a wonderful worker as well & works at McDonald's just so she can keep going! She can't NOT work! How great is that? I love her sooo much! I want to be JUST like her when I am older! She's pretty much everyone in my family's favorite aunt & has taken a place in my best friends' hearts as "The Crocodile Hunter" from back when we were at the beach! Man. I just can't get over how awesome she is! But anyways, that night Kristina called mom pretty much begging her to go to Stevenson with her because Taylor was going! It was like 7:15 when she called & mom was already ready for bed. So she asked me if I would go...I said no because I hadn't even had a shower or anything & church started in 45 minutes! Man, I wish I would have went! When mom walked out after asking me to go, it just came to my mind that Taylor was gonna get the holyghost. I could hardly believe it..I mean..it was Taylor! So I just brushed the thought away. But at about 10:15 Whitney Blevins sent me a text that said "TAYLOR WHITED RECEIVED THE HOLYGHOST!" I'm so happy for her! And I know she's so happy! (:
Friday, July 15th: We headed down to Huntsville for Ben & Britney's birthday bash at Rosie's Cantina! It was pretty fun! I had heard SO many good things about the restaurant but I really wasn't too impressed. I still have a special place in my heart for the no longer existent, Mi Jacal's of South Pittsburg. Sigh. But it was still cool & they had FIONNA FINLAYSON CUPCAKES! Oh man they're the BEST! After we got done eating me & a select few went to watch Isaac & Derrick bush dive! It was SO funny!!! Soon, me, Bailey, Brett, Blake, Hil, Kenzie & James went to McDonald's so Bailey could get her Rolo McFlurry of the night! And after a while, we headed back to Hil's house! It was me & the best friends: Brett, Bailey & Hilary. We laughed, talked, gossiped, gushed, danced & everything else under the sun until 3 in the morning. Man. I love those girls! They're pretty much the only people I always have fun with all the time & can trust whole heartedly! (Besides Aly & Alexis of course! (:)
Saturday, July 16th: Me, Brett, Hil & Bail decide we want to go to P.F. Changs! We called Blake & found out that they were planning the same thing so we were like well I guess we'll just go with them. Before we even finished getting ready, Hil decided to go on to this reunion & birthday party with Kenzie so it was down to just me, Bailey & Brett. We went on to Bridge Street & met up with the others to eat. The food was SO good. I love PF Changs so much! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants! After we got done, Me, Bail & Brett went to Parkway Place mall & around 4 we headed home! I went to church at BC that night & got to see Taylor & Amber for the first time since they received the holyghost! And got to talk to my best BEST friend, Alexis for the first time in a while! (:
Sunday, July 17th: I went to Ider & I'm SO glad I did! (: We had a BLAST! Church was great & people were the best! After we ate that morning, me, Bre & Macy went to Cheyenne's house & hung out until church that night. Church was good again that night & we all went to Kacy's afterwards to partayyy. haha. We were there until about 12:30 & just talked about everything! It was so much fun..frill. haha.
Monday, July 18th: I cleaned during the day & then went to Ider again for church last night! Elana Inman came to a Holiness church for the first time & I was so excited that I got to be a part of her experience! She's such a sweet girl! After that, we went to Macy's house & ate Cloud's pizza & cheesesticks...she had all KINDS of food! Like a guys heaven! Wings, Nachos, Stuffed Bell Peppers....it was crazy! But we had a great time & me & Blake have decided that we LOVE Jarad Brown! He's so awesome! He's hung out with us the whole time! haha.
Tuesday, July 18th: Now we're to today. Today, I worked. I took the kids out to play in the water for a few hours & we had a realllly good time! I even got some sun on my legs! Praise the LORD! hahaha. And now I have been working on this blog for over an hour! haha. Yeah, that's how hard I work for ya'll to know every detail of my life! haha. But anyways, love you guys soo much! Thanks for reading! You're the best! (:

My wonderful past week! (:
My weekend started when I went to Oak Grove last Thursday night! We decided to go a couple days before & quickly got a van full to come with. It included: "Mama" Hannah, Aly, Shelby, Blake, Mom & Me. When we got to the church, we met up with Bailey, Ben, Brett, Hilary & Britney...so we all walked in together. It was kind of funny because after church Sis. Drea & Bro. Joe David was parked beside us & couldn't believe we had all fit in that van! We were like "Yeah! We had plenty of room, it was very comfortable!" & Bro. Joe David said "There is NO WAY!" And we were like "Yeahhh...we really did!" We about died laughing when he said, "But I counted ELEVEN of you walking in together!" And Sis. Drea said "Well, they all ARE friends!" ahaha. I don't care how close me & my friends are...there's no way I'm riding with ELEVEN people in one van! lol Anyways, after we left the church we all went to McDonald's to eat & hang out & it was sooo much FUN! I just love my friends! (:
Friday night, we decided that we were going to go to Huntsville to hang out with everyone! So we headed down there & got to JK & Britney's house a little before 6. We sat there chilling, talking & watching T.V. with JK & Ross until Ben, Lauren, Leah, Aly, Shelby, Britney & Sis Lanier showed up & we FINALLY headed to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings! Once there, we were met by Blake Edwards, Devan Selvage, Luke Willmon, Jonathon Pendergrast & Corey Bates...we had a crew. It was sooo hot but we made the best of it! We laughed, talked about the bachelorette & played some games on my phone. haha. We had a blast but it was taking sooo long for everything! It took forever for us to get drink orders, food orders, food & checks! We were there for four hours!!! But of course we didn't let that get us down! lol Some of the guys decided to pull the "invisible rope" prank on some oncoming cars & that was SOOO funny! (Check out the jist of it on YouTube!) Especially when an old man in a convertible slammed on his brakes (on purpose) & screamed YEAH! We definitely applauded him! haha. Finally, we all paid for our food & then went to Sweet CeCe's to get some FroYo! It was sooo good! Especially now that they have apple pie froyo! (: I sat there with my delicious froyo & finally talked Corey into getting some (he said he was "too fat")...he ended up getting Skinny Vanilla! Really? I'm pretty sure even "Skinny Vanilla" isn't too skinny when you put chopped up Oreo's in it! (; Just sayin! We sat there FOREVER talking & me & Lauren played slaps forever...until my hands were sore. Finally, we got on the topic of the Holyghost & receiving it & I was pretty encouraged by the things they were saying to me! (: After that, we all headed out..JK, Aly, Shelby, Me & Blake headed back to get our car from JK's house & we went on home!
Saturday morning, we got up pretty early & got ready to go to Coolidge Park to celebrate Brett's 21st birthday! We FINALLY got gone after having Zachary fix our air conditioner (again!) & meeting Baileyyy at Wal mart in South Pittsburg! When we got to Coolidge, we were ALL hungry so we went on to Hill City Pizza where I ate THE BEST Fried Chicken Wrap & Black Beans & Rice that I've EVER had! Oh man! It was sooo good & only $8! Whoot whoo! (: I love that place! Definitely wanna go back! (: After chilling for a little while & watching the guys try & hit on a very manly sounding woman, we headed down to the fountains & laid out & played in the water! It was so great to get some sun! (: We stayed there for a few hours playing (Me, Brett, Kylee, Erik, Derrick, Tristan, Leah, Donovan, PJ & Jesse!) until we decided to go get a slushee & it was soooooo good!!! I know I say that a lot, but REALLY! lol You should really get one if you're ever in Coolidge...& make sure you get it with CREAM! lol It's the best! Anywho, around 4:30 we headed home so we could get ready for communion that night.. & afterwards, we went to Krystal's with Layton, Brett & a bunch of the Trenton kids! It was awesome & we stayed outside til almost midnight talking to Brett! I love late night talks! (:
Sunday Morning, was our regular, so we went to Brown's Chapel again! Church was really good & right after it was over we headed BACK to Huntsville to Bailey's baptizing! It was sooo packed & pretty hot outside but it was cool! They had 5 people baptized that day! After that we went to Bailey & Ben's house & ate some roast tacos & played a great game of Monopoly...until I quit. haha. Those games last sooo long! Finally everyone just gave up on the game & came to talk in the living room. I was sooo tired & when I get really tired, I'm easily amused (well, I am anyways...but whatever) so I was laughing like CRAZY! The kind of laugh where you laugh SOOO hard you can't breathe so you just kinda make that clicking noise? Yep. Blake Chance loved my laugh...I guess he'd never heard one quite like that before. haha. After a little bit we went on to church at Toney & it was good & actually WASN'T a camp out meeting (you know, the kind that you may as well have brought your pajamas cause you were there so long...) & we went to Cheddar's to eat. But Cheddar's was so packed they said they couldn't even accommodate our group of about 15. So instead, where did we go? That's right, the trusty ZAXBY'S!!! I really think that's like our go-to place now! haha. So we hung out there for a while & when we left me & Bailey took Hil back to her car & Blake back to his & went to Bailey's house. We were gonna party it up & spend the night with Hannah & Olivia but it was so late by the time we got ready to leave Bailey's, Sis. Tammy just suggested we stay there. That was fine with me because I was sooo tired & got to sleep on the oh-so-comfy, GAINE'S COUCH! Love it! (:
Monday morning, was 4th of July! (: About 9, me & Hil headed to her house to start getting things ready for our get-together! I was sooo tired & had full intentions of taking a nap but that NEVER HAPPENED. lol Oh well. After a while, Brett, Mackenzie, JK, Ben, Blake G., Blake C. & Ross showed up at the house & soon, Bailey came over (after swimming & helping with her little cousins!)...we had been trying to fill up water balloons for a long time (well, Brett was. Kenzie & Hil were supposed to but they just ran around spraying each other with the water hose instead...) but weren't getting anywhere...we had maybe 20. So after we ate some food (Sis. Allison makes some AMAZING burgers, hot dogs & the best potato salad me or JK have ever eaten) I filled up a TON more balloons...I had an amazing system going on out there alone...& a little later, Kenzie & Hil & Eric came out to "help" haha. I still love ya'll! (: Finally we had enough to play a game so we took them to the front yard & me, JK, Brett, Hil & Kenzie just hit the mess out of each other. I'm pretty sure I have a bruise on my leg where JK chunked a balloon right into my leg & it NEVER BUSTED!!! lol It hurt pretty bad but it was fun. Of course, those balloons were gone in like 3 minutes so we went to fill more up to have another fight. It ended up being more of a water hose fight instead but it felt sooo good to have water on you in that heat! After we were done we all dried off & obviously Brett decided to start doing peoples eyebrows. hahaha. I know, we're weird. So a TON of us got our eyebrows plucked & I'm telling you, it hurt like mess! I cried! I mean, not like "oh, my eyes are watering", I'm talking "Oh my dear Lord that hurts so bad....oh, here come the tears". I BLED!!! What in the world!? Anyways, after that we went in the game room & some people went to watch T.V. or talk or do whatever...but we watched Blake Chance beat EVERY world record on the kinect Track & Field game & run in a ridiculous manner. It was HILARIOUS & yes, I videoed it! (: Bro. Greg made us some kicking homemade vanilla ice cream & then they decided to play Monopoly. Oh Lord. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. If there is one game that can cause an argument, it's most DEFINITELY Monopoly! I'm not even going to begin to explain what happened, but let's just say everyone ended up quitting & there was a lot of smack talk. haha. It was finally dark enough to shoot fireworks so we all headed outside to watch Eric, Bro. Greg & my brother, Blake try to kill us. Not really. But almost the entire time, Blake C. was hiding behind me...I'm just saying....lol We hung out just talking about an hour after we were done with fireworks & then had JK to take us back to our car. We went home & FINALLY got some rest! lol
Tuesday morning, I didn't do much...but at the last minute Tuesday night, I decided to go to Higdon with Mom & Blake & I'm so glad I did. I had a GREAT time hanging out with Shaun & PJ (even though Shaun drives me CRAZY!!!) And it was just a lot of fun...I always have fun with PJ (my PYT! hahahaha) I got a text that night from my friend Macy asking me if I wanted to go shopping with her Thursday so, of course, I said yes!
Wednesday morning, I got up & got ready to go back to Higdon for church! I got to see my babies (Ally & Lane) & met me some more little children that I love!!! Like Jace (Caleb & Tiffany's little boy) he's a chunk of lead man! And sooo cute! (: We ate dinner & it was really good & then Bre took me to Macy's house (I was spending the night)! I got to go swimming & actually got some sun on my legs (Whoot whoo! (: Moving on up! (: ) until it started thundering & we decided to go in! We ate some dinner (it was realllyyy good!) & played the Wii! Then we decided to play a game of Monopoly! It was the best & quickest game I've ever played! It was fun & no one got mad & Macy absolutely dominated! She had over $10,000 dollars & 18 properties with hotels on them all! I don't know HOW she did it but it was pretty awesome! We ate too many Starbursts & laughed sooo much (probably due to all of the sugar coursing through our veins) & watched Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza...we had decided to take showers that night so we could curl our hair & everything so I had my shower around 1:15....by 1:30, (when Baggage was coming on, which I was supposed to watch) I was out like a light. So we went up to Macy's room & dried & curled our hair & I almost immediately fell asleep....it was past 2 & we had to be gone by 8.
Thursday morning, we got up, threw some clothes on & fixed our hair & headed to Huntsville! We stopped at McDonald's in Scottsboro to eat breakfast & were in Huntsville around 9:30. We went to Kohl's, Burlington, Madison Mall, Parkway Place Mall & other small random stores...we went to O'Charley's to eat (wonderful!) & finally headed home around 7...that's a lot of shopping, I'm just saying. lol I'm not used to shopping that much & on that little of sleep but Ashley, Macy, Sis. Patti & Sis. Sherlon are teaching me the ways. HAHA. I got home around 8:30..just in time to watch Big Brother & see Evel Dick RE-ENTER the house & I am SOOO excited for this season! It's gonna be awesome!!! (:
So now, I'm sitting here, very pooped. Watching the news, talking to mom & feeling the tingle of my recently burned legs. I can't get over how much I love my life. I know I'm so blessed with the best friends in the entire world & the best family & the best church ever! I just love them & I love you guys that read my blog & give me feedback & so much more! You make this all worth it when you come to me & tell me you read my blog..it makes me feel amazing to know that you really care that much about me & my life to take out the time to read this stuff! So I THANK YOU!!! (:
