One Amazing Weekend!

Okie dokie, so here it goes.

Friday morning I woke up bright & early to go to our FIRST session at Curves! It. Was. AWESOME. I felt amazing after we got done...I've never been so excited to sweat. haha. But seriously, it was great...I can't wait to keep it going...I feel like it will be more hardcore this next week when we go THREE times. I wasn't sore at first & after church last night (I'll talk about that later) me & Shelby made the mistake of saying "Oh man, I'm not sore at ALL! I guess those stretches worked." T- 15 minutes later: "Shelby, my sides hurt..." "You got gas?" (HA!) "Uh, no! I'm pretty sure those workouts...worked." lol It was baddd. Suddenly BOTH of us started feeling sore EVERYWHERE. Arms. Legs. Sides...EVERYTHING. haha But it's the most exciting hurt ever! I love it! (:

Anywho, all day Friday I kinda laid around after that. That evening, Blake had a singing at Higdon so I got ready to go there...the singing was REALLY short actually. We were through with the first half in about 45 minutes. 45 minute intermission & about an hour & ten minutes for the second half. We were done before 10. So a few of us went to McDonald's to hang out & had a good time until they kicked us out. Bummer.

Saturday morning, we were gonna go to Stuart's birthday party...but we were too pooped. So we slept til like 11 & finally got up to clean. Mom & Dad got home with Taco Bell (YUM.) & we watched the Bama game for a while until I had to start getting ready. By 5, I had shower, hair fixed, clothes & hair products together & was on my way to Shelby's house! We left almost as soon as I got there (SHOCKER!) & was on our way to Scottsboro soon! Well, first we met someone for a photo pickup in Stevenson. Anyways, we went to Scottsboro Cato's hoping to find something nice & Shelby got some adorable shoes...but I found zip (I didn't really look). After that we headed to Wal-Mart to print a picture & then we were on our way to the car wash. Oh my Lord. When Shelby said that going through an automatic car wash in a dually was scary, I didn't realize HOW scary! I was very literally screaming in the truck when this thing looked like it was about to plow right through the windshield..AH! Talk about nerves being tore up...oh man. And of course there was a very handsome military-esque guy outside the truck...& there was a few awkward accidental exchanges. But that just made the whole thing MUCH funnier! After that pretty great adventure, we were on our way for the first time (well, for me anyways.) to Pleasant Grove! We weren't sure where to park & we literally pulled into the parking lot at EXACTLY 7 o'clock. So we just grab the first spot we see. By the church. By the FRONT of the church, to be exact. You can imagine how embarrassing it was walking in at the awkward silent part of church that happens in between the "We're so glad you're here" speech & the first song...especially after adjusting & REadjusting the parking of a DUALLY TRUCK right by the church. And of course I had my jangly noisy purse too. Oh woe is me. lol jk It was pretty funny. Church actually wasn't too long but we didn't end up going to Jared & Nathan's house after all...EVERYONE had other plans too so it was kind of a disappointment when no one went to eat with us. ): *sigh* So, Taco Bell drive thru (Yes, SECOND time that day) it was. We ate our delicious Taco Bell on the way to Bailey's house & once we got there, hung out with Sis. Tammy & Ben for a while. Then it ended up being me & Shelby in the living room , her reading a book & me about asleep when Bailey walked in...well, walking is an easy way to put it...how about CRASHED, STUMBLED, POUNDED her way in. haha. It scared the mess out of us.Shelby was like "Well, I hope that's Bailey..." Thankfully, it really was. They sat up & talked a while but I ended up asleep by 2 our time I think. I was very tired...DON'T JUDGE ME!

Sunday morning I woke up at like 7:30 thinking it was like past 10...then I woke up at 8...then 9...then 9:15 when I finally just gave up & got up to get a shower...& met Bailey coming out of her room to get her shower. So I went to her room & laid down/warmed up in the bed. lol We FINALLY got our tails in gear & made it to church a couple minutes early. Of course it was a camp out meeting at Toney (that's what we call there SUPERRR long services) & we were SO tired & bored! So...I know, this is awful...but me, Garrett & Shelby played M.A.S.H. during church. I KNOW, I KNOW. AWFUL! But it's true. And we made a hottie list...& we laughed until we cried. I'M SO ASHAMED! lol Not really, but anyways. It was fun. After church finally ended we hung with Andrew, Lindz & Bailey for a while & then headed home. Scratch that, headed to McDonald's for another photo order. THEN we went home. I ended up being 20 minutes late for prayer meeting (we're having church at Aunt Martha's until we can get in the church...) (NOVEMBER 23RD HOPEFULLY! AGGHHH!!!) & after church we had a meeting about fundraisers for the benches for the church. Hopefully we get some good participation & help from this stuff! So pleaseeee support us if you hear of anything!!! After the meeting, me & Blake went to Logan's Roadhouse in Tiftonia with Alexis, Taylor, Kristina & Evan...first time I've ever had a medium filet mignon (I'm not a steak eater) & I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Anyways, the new restaurant is VERY nice! I can't wait to go back!

So here I am now...still pooped & ready for bed...yet kinda wired at the same time. Ah. Zumba class tomorrow evening so I'm pumped for that!

Anyways, I'll see ya'll later! Have a fantastical week guys! (:

The blog where I rant...

Oh. My. Lord.

For months I have been looking forward to the Glee season 3 premiere & it FINALLY happened tonight!

...and I've NEVER been more disappointed.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Okay, so what the mess? Sam is gone?! Why haven't I heard of this!? I even follow him on Twitter & didn't know. That's so dumb! Him & Mercedes had SUCH potential as a super cute couple...& he doesn't like how things are going so he just up & leaves?! HOW DUMB!!!

Also, I realize that some of the "kids" are Seniors which means they won't be here much longer...but that's really dumb too. They started the show...why couldn't they all have started out as Freshmen? That makes MUCH more sense to me!

And what is up with Quinn? She's a punk now? One minute she's all preppy cheerleader & the next she's smoking with pink hair? I don't get it. And I don't know if they EVER explained why she turned out like that over ONE SUMMER. You don't make that dramatic of a change over one "summer".

A lot of junk just did not make sense to me. Even the songs weren't that great! The best parts of the show was that Blaine is actually a regular now by FINALLY moving to McKinley & the final song...HAIRSPRAY'S "CAN'T STOP THE BEAT"! I love that song!

Anyways, super dumb, super disappointing season premiere...
they best be stepping it up this season or they may have one less Gleek.

So, last night we went to Mt. Pisgah's singing as previously posted...

Around 4:45 we met Ella at Flat Rock 4 Way...yes, the singing started at 5 (our time!) haha. But good thing was, they never start on time so we had time to spare! (:

Anywho, we go in & sit with Mal & begin the very lengthy singing. It was REALLY good though! A little ways in Taylor came up to me & asked if I wanted to go downstairs to eat with them. I wasn't hungry but I was getting a little restless so I went down just to get a drink & hang...then she left me. haha. Good thing was I had my bestest friend in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD there...Alexis (: So we hung out (we don't get to just chill together very often) & ended up together until I left. We stayed at the singing til about 8:30 when Mal & her peeps were gonna go grab some food. It was starting to get warm & we figured other people would like to sit down so me, Ella, Jake & Blake all loaded up in the car to meet Mal & her family at Don Pancho's (aka Monkey Butt---for their statue of a Monkey Bottom in the lot...true story). After being made fun of at our booth & feeling quite claustrophobic in the corner, I pulled a chair up to sit with Mal, Raeven, Nathan, Jared & their cousin (I think...can't remember her name..she didn't talk). It was HILARIOUS. I think I'm in love. hahahaha jk. But frill, they're awesome! We got to talking about way back in the day when me & Jared were little...they used to visit Brown's Chapel ALL the time. He was sooo quiet & scrawny that I never realized he was only a few months younger than me! (Imagine that!) According to him, he "grew up" around age 14. lol He was always little. But that was pretty cool. And his little brother Nathan that I remember sitting on the front bench with his mama & him being just a wittle one...IS 14!!! I was shocked! Anyways, we talked a while & it ended up with Jared & Bro. Jamie saying we should come to Pleasant Grove next weekend...so hopefully that's where we'll be at some point! lol They're really fun people!

This morning we got up pretty early, I cooked breakfast (Blake actually got up & made eggs guys!!! *ROUND OF APPLAUSE!*) and started getting ready to go to Riverton for church. We haven't been there in a  long time & I knew I missed them but I didn't really realize just HOW MUCH until I got a lot of HUGE hugs & APRIL!!!! YOU'RE HERE!!!'s ...and amid all of that it sunk in how much I miss em. So anyways, since we don't have church now due to our church being remodeled *YAYYY!!!* we stayed down there all day. Blake took communion with them tonight & we went to eat at their Rafael's...the stir fry there is sooo much better than ours but their breadsticks just aren't up to par. lol

Anyways, it was a WONDERFUL weekend, GREAT time, with the BEST people!

Tomorrow morning I'll be up & at Curves by 11 to hopefully get myself & a bunch of women enrolled in exercise & Zumba! YAYYY!!!

Later, gators! (;

Just sayin'

that I have THE best friends on Earth!

I hang out with just about everyone...we don't have a "clique" anymore & we're no respecter of peoples (; haha. Anyhow, tonight we decided to go to Skyline for a singing & let me just tell you it was a WONDERFUL choice! We had an absolute blast! Granted, I didn't pay attention to a LOT of the singing..lol Pretty much just sat back there with Jake, Ella, Blake, Jessica & eventually Mal & cracked up while trying to dodge a kamikaze giant wasp! No joke! It was huge & veryyy creepy. lol It kept diving into random parts of the crowd or just chilling in the chandelier. Oh man. haha. Eventually by the last group of the 2nd half they had killed it! It was like a giant sigh of relief through the whole crowd. haha But it was pretty funny.

Anyways the entire night was pretty much HILARIOUS. Jessica got creeped on by some dude & we scared the MESS out of her at her car. Me, Jake, Ella & Blake sat out there for about 15 minutes beside her car waiting on her to get in to see this sign we had made to put on her window. Well, come to find out, Doofus Jake put it on the PASSENGER side of the car. Retard. So she didn't see it. When she was about to drive off I jumped out of the car to get her attention & beat on her window & I thought she was gonna have a heart attack! I honestly didn't mean to scare her, I was just trying to get her attention...but oh man I'm glad it worked out how it did. It was soooo funny!

Afterwards, me, Blake & Ella went to Sonic to grab some food & drinks & talked about marriage & such all the way home. Pretty much the topic of choice for young adults our age in Holiness who are unmarried. ahaha. Ahhh maybe some day.

Anywho, just wanted to update really quick! Tomorrow night= Mt. Pisgah's singing! So hopefully that will be a wonderful time & I'll blog on it later! (:

Toodle Loo! haha

Oh, boy, you've left me speechless

Hmm...it's been over a week. Oops.

Sunday morning we didn't have church since the basement was sooo dirty from them FINALLY REMODELING OUR CHURCH!!! YAYYYY!!! lol So, me & Blake stayed at home & Andrew went to Forrest Hill. When he got home, we went to Chattanooga to McKay's book store (best. place. ever.) When we got home from there, we went over to Aunt Lisa's to begin Labor Day Extravaganzaaaa!!! Haha. It seriously was a blast. We hung out, ate, played games, some people played football in the rain (they're crazy)...it was awesome. There was SO many people there Sunday night, frill. They were everywhere! We ended up leaving there around midnight & I didn't go to sleep until like 2. Ugh.

Monday morning we were supposed to get up & eat a fantastic breakfast at Aunt Lisa's...yeah, we didn't make our 9 a.m. deadline. Hey, we need our sleep. Anywho, we ended up going over around noon & stayed until almost TEN that night. We had the LONGEST yet MOST FUN game of Phase 10 ON EARTH. haha. It lasted around 5 hours. No joke, no embellishment. It was crazy. And we laughed until we cried, multiple times. We would sit there & someone would say something & we'd all bust out in the same song! It was so funny! Oh Lord, ya'll really missed it. haha.

Tuesday I had to work & finally realized just how much it felt like FALL when I had to put my jacket on to go outside! AGH! So exciting! :D Oh, & I did "Truth Is..." on Facebook for the first time. It was actually a LOT of fun! (:

Wednesday I went to Northeast to pick up a code so I could take a test on Blackboard, then went to Scottsboro to get an outfit for Big Cove's singing...then went to South Pittsburg to finish up the outfit. haha. Oh Lord I spent WAY too much money...but that outfit was HOT! Owww! jkjk (; Then that night I went BACK to NACC for class. I'm already procrastinating in all of this stuff WAY too much. OH NO!

Thursday I worked  & watched Ally fall asleep at the table whilst eating a piece of chicken...hilarious. I worked on some work & that night went to hang out with some old school friends! We just went to South Pittsburg & ate Chinese. It was pretty good but I know we insulted some of the waitresses accidentally...oops. After, we went to Wal-Mart to pick some car things up for a friend & then headed home. Which turned into going by Nickajack Dam to look at it. They were releasing the water & I have to admit it was pretty cool...but I'm NOT a good swimmer & we were on the dock so I made them let me leave. haha. It had my nerves tore up with that water rising! AGH! But I had a really good time with them! (:

Friday we went to Chattanooga to help Aunt Connie pick out some carpet & bench swatches for the church! It felt SO much more real that we were actually getting somewhere while doing that! SO exciting! (: After that, we ate lunch at Olive Garden & then went our separate ways. We went to HH Gregg where I bought a tablet & lemme just tell you, I IMMEDIATELY had buyer's remorse! It was such a large purchase & it was NOT what I expected. So I just packed it up a couple of hours ago & I'm taking it back! The one I got was NOT worth the money! UGH! So, anyways, after that we went to mom's doctor's appointment...she's been having BAD migraines & she wanted them to help...he gave her some meds but wanted her to go get another CAT scan done. So we went over there & it came up negative (PRAISE THE LORD!) so we went to get Blake an outfit for the singing. Um, buying a big guy an ENTIRE outfit (I'm talking shoes, belt, pants, shirt...THE WORKS) in an hour is NOT an easy feat. But with the Lord's help we got it all done & I made it home in time to fix my hair & get ready for the singing! The singing was AMAZING by the way! Isaac did SO good singing with the group & I am honestly very excited for the upcoming singings! (:

Saturday we were supposed to go hang with Sarah & people, but it just didn't work out. So we chilled at home & went to Hannah & Loren's wedding reception! (Private wedding, btw) After the reception & bidding them goodbye we went to a friend's house (Shout out to Abby & Haley & the Finlayson Fort! (;) and watched The Rite...GREAT movie!!! Very creepy. lol

This morning we got up, I cooked breakfast & we went to Scottsboro! It took a lot, but I finally convinced Blake to go with me & Grandmother (cause I didn't really wanna drive) lol We had a GREAT time! I really LOVEEE those people, honestly! They're awesome! (: Not to mention, they have a little eye candy (; hahaha jkjk. Kinda. Anyways, afterwards we came home & contemplated where & when to go on vacation. Possibly this weekend...& it could be to Graceland, Smokies, or Hilton Head! Or we may just go another weekend...AGH decisions, decisions!

Anyways, have a great next week guys & I'll probably post sometime soon again...maybe (;
Love ya!

Roll Tide Roll!

Ahhh so today is the FIRST ALABAMA GAME OF THE SEASON!!! I'm sooo excited frill! (: But I guess I should update ya'll on what's been going on in the life of April April. (:

After my last post, I went back to the doctor on Wednesday & Thursday. Wednesday for one more cautionary check, & Thursday for him to sign off on my papers!!! So I get to keep my license! Whoo! (:

Wednesday night I started my first & only on-campus class, Medical Terminology. I already failed the class once but it was for not turning my work in on time the last day. Ugh. But having it IN class is sooo much easier! Online is so tough! But I have 2 other online classes too so Lord help me. Anyways, I went down there with Seth thinking it was gonna be a 3 hour class...uh no. It was a whopping 30 minutes long. Pretty much orientation. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't even have went. I mean it took me longer to GET THERE than to actually be in the class. Rawr. Anyways, I went up to the student center & ended up sitting in there for about an hour & a half waiting on Sethy Poo to get out of his class & then we headed home. YAY.

Oh, Thursday night Jeff got voted off of Big Brother! Mwahaha! (:

Friday night there was soooo much going on. Mom wasn't feeling too hot & we were supposed to go to a kinda last minute bridal shower for a few minutes & then I was gonna go to Ider's singing which I had previously promised I would go to. I could tell mom didn't really wanna go anywhere so I just decided to go on to the singing & have like a little par-tay for Shae soon on our own. So, I went to Ider's singing with Blake & Seth & I'm realllly glad I went. I had a great time! The last half was kind of a blurr because the whole time Erik's group was up, me & Caleb Long were talking about beach trips. I laughed so.stinking.hard. He's a cool guy! But anyways, after the singing it was like 11 fast time & we decided to go to Trenton to eat. There's like NOTHING open at the time but amazingly enough, Krystal's drive thru was. So, me, Seth, Kacy & Ella sat out on the curb & Whitney & Blake sat in the car, munching on our Krystal's. Yum. haha. It was actually really fun but I was sooo tired so we headed home around midnight.

Saturday was another chill day. We just hung out at home watching The Buried Life & such & went to church that night. After church we went to eat at Rafael's with Seth, Whitney, Rylee & Zane! It was good & fun....then we headed home...

Sunday morning we went to church at Trenton & church was really good! The Lord moved towards me again & I'm so proud! That night, we went to Brown's Chapel of course (: After church me, Alexis, Hunter, Seth, Taylor, Melisha & Blake went to eat at Rafael's (again!) & afterwards went & got "ice cream" (I got apple dippers!) at McDonald's. We sat on the picnic tables outside & just had a grand ol' time! It was very nice (:

Monday I watched The Social Network & actually LOVED IT! Great movie!

Tuesday I babysat & ate cocoa roasted almonds for the first time! (Delish by the way!)
Oh, & I had a 192 comment conversation via Facebook with my brother (who was in the living room) & Shelby about Blake & Shelby's future wedding. Yes.

Wednesday I watched Sesame Street & then tried to listen to 900 MEDICAL TERMS on audio CD. It was awful. And I was cleaning while doing this preparing for the arrival of all my best friends last night!
That night I went to class...it lasted an hour & a half so I actually didn't end up being in the SC for too long waiting on Seth. Whoo.
Oh, yes, & I also found out that me & my mother BOTH bite our tongue in our sleep at times...& it's apparently not uncommon.

Thursday was the FIRST DAY OF SEPTEMBER (!!!) which means we were exactly one month from the VERY BEST TIME OF THE YEAR! OCTOBER! WHOO! Oh, & I also scratched my phone very deeply (I had done it Wednesday night but it decided to show itself to me on Thursday morning).

Friday (yesterday) I cleaned the majority of the day probably. And we babysat Madyson for a couple hours. It's VERY hard to clean when you have a quite curious almost 2 year old to take care of. Then around 5:30 we started to get ready to go to Chattanooga! It ended up being Me, Blake, Brett, Alex, Bailey, Hilary, Mackenzie, Jameson, Taylor, Amber, Alexis & Hunter! We had a great time! We went to Genghis to eat, then walked over to Ben & Jerry's where I got a FABULOUS strawberry cheesecake shake...ohhh man. Then after that we walked over to the water steps on the riverfront & played there & took pictures for quite a while! Then it started to rain so we ran back to the car & went to McDonald's in Tiftonia to get something to drink & to apparently get some "Twinkle Toes" shoe keychains. haha. It was soo funny when Blake was ordering these via drive thru. The woman was CRACKING UP explaining what kinds of shoes they had & we were super excited about them & when we got up to the window it was a HUGE black guy (no racism intended) & he wasn't a very happy camper. He handed us the teas & one shoe (not the one we asked for, mind you) even though we were supposed to get 2 & insisted they didn't have the one we wanted even though the lady had just said they did. Ugh. So what do we do? That's right, we go to Trenton McDonald's. lol Where Brett got the shoe that her & Taylor wanted & I got the other one. So now me, Taylor & Brett are in the Twinkle Toes Fan Club! (: True story! After getting gasoline at the station, & picking up some clothes for Alex, we were home. JK, Hil & Bailey were already there talking to mom so we ended up sitting over at the house watching Two Man Group skits & talking until about 1 & we went our separate ways. Once at Grandmother's we all took more pictures & then I was burning up so I went to the living room where I fell asleep around 1:30. The others were up til around 3. lol I'm too old for that stuff these days. Sigh.

This morning they all had to leave pretty early which was a pretty big bummer. Hil & Kenzie were gonna watch the Auburn game together at Hil's house & Bailey was going Dove Hunting. Alex & Brett both had to go sing at the nursing home so here I am, in my room in the dark, waiting on Blake to get up, my parents to get home, & the glorious Alabama game to begin...

Oh, did I mention ROLL TIDE? (:
