That nothing is for certain. Life can seriously change in the blink of an eye...stop the petty arguments & being paranoid. Have fun & love. Love as much as you possibly can, whether it be family, friends or a significant other. Don't be afraid to fall in love. Life is beautiful. Live it to the best of your ability...and never ever forget what really matters. We're all just living this life to make it to Heaven one day. That's what matters.

Crazy past few weeks!

Well it's been a CRAZY past few weeks!

It's almost Christmas...time has flew by!

We had our revival the first week in December...it went really well, all the services were amazing but I didn't get the holyghost...no one did, sadly. But I'm still hoping & praying it will be soon!!!

I was able to work at Sweet Peas again & even though it's going to be a very hectic week leading up to Christmas, I need the money! lol So maybe I'll get called in some more!

I FINALLY got all my Christmas shopping done (besides Blake...he's so difficult to buy for!)! I've given 3 of my friends their gifts so far & they have all seemed like they loved them! It makes me happy cause I worked for a LONG time & SUPER hard on this stuff! I'll try & post pics of someone's when I give the rest out (they're all sorta the same) because I don't want to ruin it for any of them who may read my blog! So now I have Shelby, Alexis & Hilary's left to give out & I'm so excited for them to see them! (:

On a much sadder note, Saturday my cousin, Dustin Scott, passed away in a motorcycle accident. Our family truly needs prayers...he was only 30 years old & of course, no one expected anything like this to happen...his funeral is Wednesday & if anyone thinks to pray, it'd be much appreciated. It's gonna be a really rough next couple of days...especially with it being SO close to Christmas. ):

Well you guys, I hope you already know this, but just as a reminder, I love you all!!!
Have a wonderful rest of the week & in case I don't get back on here this week, have an absolutely AMAZING Christmas!!!
