Well, it is yet another weekend post. lol
Friday night we had decided we were going to go over to Pat's house again with Jarad, Tonya, Whitney & Doyle & play cards. For food I suggested Tonya make her famous stir fry & I would make egg rolls. Instead of making the egg rolls as I usually do (awesomely), I baked them. They didn't turn out too hot. So that was pretty embarrassing. lol Oh well. Next time shall be better. Tonya's stir fry was AMAZING & my cupcakes were pretty good (Dad said they were the best I'd ever made....like store bought) so I guess I redeemed myself there. lol We stayed there til around midnight & headed home...
Saturday morning I got up & got ready to meet Morgan at Stevenson so I could go to church at Pleasant Grove Saturday night & Sunday morning. So we met her & we were on our way! She took me over to Raeven's house (where I'd be staying) & she got ready at her house. We left soon after & picked up Mallory & Morgan & went shopping in Huntsville. We flirted with the hotties at Alabama Outdoors & then went to eat at Mandarin. It was really good & Raeven super freaked out the waitress by not asking for a drink. lol After we ate we went to the mall & hung out for a while. Finally we headed back to Raeven's to get ready for church! Church was a total shoutdown with TONS of visitors..I've never been there on a Saturday night with SO many people. It was crazy. Afterwards, Raeven had young kids over so we ate tacos & hung out for a LONG time. It was fun (: After that everyone dispersed, we took Nathan & Triston home then came back to Raeven's where Morgan, Breanna & Mallory soon joined us & we all stayed up forever. It was almost 4 my time when we went to bed. But I had the ring test thing done to me for the first time! It was so cool! I have always wanted twin boys & when they did the test, the only thing that came up was boys over & over & over for like a minute straight. And then it stopped. I was like woahhh & got SO excited. It totally made my night! (: The next night when I got home I done it again, this time with my Mom's ring & it did the same thing! When I did hers, it came up boy, girl, girl...she had a miscarriage between me & Blake! It's crazy! Have you ever heard of the ring test? If so, & it was done to you, was it right? I really want to know...so feel free to comment below! (:
Sunday morning we got up, got ready for church & it was packed out again! Church was pretty good, we ate afterwards & too soon, Mallory & Raeven took me to meet my parents at Stevenson church. We had our church service that ended up being like 3.4 hours long & really good... so good that we had church again Monday night! Tuesday night I went to school & I had actually gotten caught up on everything through Monday & Tuesday so I was excited to go! We had a really good class...it was actually fun. And even got home decently early! Yay me (:
Anyhow, I don't know what plans are for this weekend...maybe Trenton's singing Friday night? We'll see.
Hope ya'll have had a great week & have an even better next few days! (:
Love, love, April (:

Valentine's Day, Banjos, & Trains!
Okay, so a week ago was Valentine's day. No, I had no "hot date"...I actually spent it at the Berryhill Funeral Home in Huntsville seeing Bro. Hoyt. But something did happen at that time that made me feel a wholeee lot better about my (lack of) love life. haha. We'll see how things go later! Maybe one of these days I'll have some good news for you guys!
Friday night we went to Chuck-E-Cheese with Jarad, Tonya & Whitney to celebrate Tonya's birthday! (That's where Whitney wanted to take her! lol) So we ended up having a blast with them out there for a few hours! Around 10 we headed home so we could be there when Bailey, Olivia, Brett, JK & Ben got there. The girls stayed with me over at Grandmother's house & the boys stayed at our house. When JK got there, HE HAD MY BANJO!!! Yes, I am now the proud owner of a Johnson Banjo (: I am so stinkin excited! It's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be but I know it'll be AWESOME when I finally learn how to play! Anywho, us girls ended up in bed around 2 a.m. when apparently Bailey & Brett got their second wind. They were being sooo retarded. And that is why they're 2 of my best friends. (:
Saturday around 8:30 me & Brett got up to get ready to go with JK, Brit, Aly, Ben & Blake since the Aquarium deal didn't work out for us. So we went to Cracker Barrell to eat & then to the train museum. We actually got to ride on a train which was pretty cool...not cool was that the old Santa looking man kept droning on & on about train facts that we DID NOT care about. And we had to act like we were listening since we accidentally sat RIGHT in front of him. lol But it was still fun to me. Afterwards we took pictures around all the trains & on them. Everyone but me, Aly & Ben actually climbed on top of the train...too scary for me. lol After that we went to Guitar Center to see if they could string & tune my banjo. The only way they could was to keep it til Tuesday...No way! So I took it on home. That night Ben went to church with us. Afterwards we had our Valentine's party! We were supposed to have it the Sunday night before but because of Bro. Hoyt passing away, we didn't have church. So we made up for it. Aunt Carolyn had decided she wanted to do something for all the young kids so with the help of Aunt Ellene, Aunt Mary & Aunt Tamara (or Sis. Piana as Ben likes to call her) they had hotdogs, chili, nachos & cheese, taco soup & brownies with hot fudge & ice cream! Not counting the TON of candy & other Valentine cuteness they gave us! It was so sweet!!! They had the basement decorated & everything. Us & all the little ones LOVED it! Afterwards we went to McDonald's to hang with the rest of the crew! At about 1 a.m. Andrew texted me asking if he could stay the night. His plans had fell through & he had nowhere to go! So of course we said yes & he stayed the night.
Sunday morning we got up & got ready to go to Ider. We didn't even begin to get ready until 10:05 but somehow me & Blake got our showers, got ready & made it to Ider 15 minutes before church started! lol It was amazing! After church we hung out for a while then we headed home & took naps. lol We went to church that night, had leftovers from the night before's big Valentine bash & met Ider peeps at Wendy's to hang out. lol We didn't eat again. We did get ice cream though! Does that count as eating? Oh well. Soon we were home & in our nice, warm beds!
Since then I guess life's been pretty boring. lol The past 3 days. I'm hoping & wishing & praying that Mom & Dad will let me go out to PG this weekend! Maybe even Saturday night & stay with Raeven for Sunday's meeting! I don't know yet though...help me pray! lol
Love, love!

25 Random Things About Me
I did this for Facebook, but decided I'd bring it over here to the old blog,.. so here is 25 VERY random things about me. If any of it doesn't make sense, forgive me, I am very exhausted. (:
1. Okay, this is pretty well known but I'm going to put it anyways. My name is April. My middle name is Abrielle...a form of the Spanish Abril...which means...April. Hence the nickname by most, "April April".
2. My birthday is also, in April. April 10th to be exact. I will be 21 years old! Yay me..it does absolutely nothing for me. Just another year older. But I'm still gonna be happy about it, & have a "party" (non-alcoholic of course) with my pals. (:
3. When I was younger, I always assumed I would be married by now. No joke. Maybe even a child? Who knows. But, life doesn't (apparently) go as planned.
4. I have been at Northeast for 2 of the last 3 years. And even when I'm done, I still won't have a degree. Darn you, indecision. (Although I will have a Medical Assistant Certificate...whoo!)
5. Hm...I currently have a 3.7 GPA...I guess that proves that not ALL blondes are dumb...but I have to admit...a lot are.
6. I spend a TON of time on Facebook, but I am also an avid Tweeter. Yes. I am. I love it. Don't hate. My phone helps out with these Social Networking obsessions.
7. I am still a total kid at heart. Case in point, I am currently getting a large group of 14 + year old people to go to the Tennesse Aquarium with me. And we WILL have fun.
8. I can be silly, & I usually am, but I also can get serious. I try to be there for my friends when they need me, in whatever way. Whether they need someone to just listen to them, they need some advice, or if they DO need someone to cheer them up...I do my best.
9. I want to be the kind of person that when my name is brought up in a conversation, people aren't ashamed to say that I am their friend. I try to be the best person that I can be, all the time.
10. My brother & I are more or less always together. He's 2 years older than me, drives me CRAZY & drives me most places (although I DO have my license now)...but you know what...he's one of my best friends. He's super judgemental & times & always very blunt, but I know if I need to ask someone something & get a totally honest opinion (unafraid to hurt my feelings as well) I can go to him. I truely know that I look "beautiful" when my brother says it.
11. I am obsessed with pictures & picture frames. I love them so much. I currently do not have enough wall space to hang all of them up, so they're just chillin randomely around the room. Yep.
12. I'm looking for a guy to come into my life (or make himself known if he's already here) that can make me laugh, has the kind of personality that everyone loves to be around & to make me feel loved. Honestly, that's about it. Of course, everyone has to have that initial attraction..but in the end, beauty won't keep you guys together. You need someone you can joke with & be totally dumb & at the end of the day they'll kiss you goodnight & tell you they love you. That's what matters. That's all I want.
13. I love, & I mean LOVE, the banjo. I'm actually going to be getting one soon, which I'm TOTALLY stoked about. I can't wait to learn how to play something on it. I have a strumstick already...it's a lot of fun to play around on but since it's kind of a rare & up-and-coming instrument, there aren't many choices on what to play. I still love it very much though...it's so cute. (:
14. My brother & I listen to a LOT of "chill" music & have recently been buying CD's of random people. Amos Lee, Adele (not so random, but we have all her cds now), Mumford & Sons...it's been pretty awesome, I must say...gotta love hearing new songs that aren't played all over the radio!
15. I feel totally lost without....my cell phone. I know, it's sad that these days we're mostly all so addicted to our phones but I am. I left it at home the other day on accident & kept thinking "Oh, I need to text so & so about such & such..." would reach for my phone & it wasn't there. I was so sad.
16. If I ever get married, I want super cute, very funny pictures to be taken by EVERYONE throught the whole shindig & I want them to be sent to us!
17. I can't keep the same game apps on my phone for a long time. I get bored & when I'm bored, they don't stay. They're OUT.
18. I am absolutely & totally addicted to CARMEX. Any kind. I love it. My lips feel dry without it within like 5 minutes & that is NO exaggeration.
19. I have a basket devoted to hair products. I never though I would be that girl.
20. At night, I sleep with water by my bed. Sometimes that ends up with an accumulation of a LOT of empty bottles, just because I'm too lazy to throw them away.
21. I have 2 pairs of glasses but I hardly ever wear them unless I'm at home. I feel uglier with them on even though I think they are so very cute. I was smart enough to get a brown pair & a black pair too. I know, I rock.
22. I have SO much jewelry (a jewelry box full) but I only wear like 5 different necklaces & pretty much one bracelet. I need to clear that out.
23. I have an Uncle that I've never met, but I feel a connection with him anyways. I think he would have been awesome.
24. I am addicted to Pinterest. But like most people, will pin things that I am NEVER going to get or have time or money to do. Oh well, a girl can dream.
25. My friends & family make my life. If it weren't for them my world would be such a very boring place. My best friends are those people that I can go to that never judge me or mistreat me. They aren't 2 faced & they love me even though I am a tee-total idiot at times. I love them so & I don't know what I would do without them. They came into my life just when I needed them the most.

Guess what?
Yep, it's another weekend post.
I know you all soooo enjoy hearing about my weekends..lol Just kidding. They're probably annoying. Oh well. The weekends are what I live for. (:
Friday night we went to Huntsville. Earlier in the week Britney Lohenitz had text us asking if we wanted to hang out so that's what we did! We went to eat at 5 Guys in Jones Valley & then me & Bailey went to Marshall's & Ross (where I found a ribbon board AND a 5 picture, up & down frame! FINALLY! I've been looking since my LAST birthday!) Then we went over to Yogurt Mountain (no joke, that's the name) & I had RED VELVET CUPCAKE YOGURT! It was amazing!!! We stayed there a WHILE before we decided to go to Target. Well, me & Bailey were walking to Shoe Carnival when a car stops in front of us & yells my name...I walk over & I see Miss Jasmine Coronado & Miss Casey Manning...my Scottsboro peeps! (: I tell them to come into the shoe store so they do & we stand around & talk to them for a few minutes. I love them...they're sweethearts (: Anywho, afterwards I get a call & Blake says it's about time to head home..it was already 10 our time & an hour & a half drive home is pretty rough. So we say our goodbyes & head home.
Saturday was a really chill day. We just hung out at home. Dad got mom Breaking Dawn Part 1 so we watched that (I've already seen it, so I fell asleep). Then we got ready to go to church. After church we went to McDonald's with Mom, Dad, & Grandmother & headed home. The best part of the night was winning Rock, Paper, Scissors & making BLAKE have to go out in the freezing cold to feed our outside dog, Bella. Mwahaha. He was sooo sure he had one...the look of utter shock on his face, was priceless. (:
Sunday morning we got up & went to Scottsboro for church! Bro. Shirley wasn't there since Bro. Charles's funeral was that day, so there wasn't a whollllleee lot of people there. But still a good crowd. After church we ate dinner in the kitchen & hung out in there with Robin, Alyssa, Mallory, Mason, Tonya & Jarad forEVER. Mom text me & told me we weren't having church since Uncle Larry was so close to Bro. Hoyt & he had passed away. So we planned a game night with Tonya & Jarad. We went to their friend Pat's house & Bro. Doyle came over too. We ate "fa-jeetas" & played a 2 & a half hour long Phase 10 game (That Tonya ultimately won...pshh. I call rematch! (:) while watching the Grammys. Oh man. We laughed SOOO hard. Having Jarad & Blake in the same room is BOUND to be hilarious. They're way too much alike! lol We left after Phase 10 was over & headed home listening to Adele (who was a BEAST at the Grammys!) & got home around 12.
Well, this weekend should be muchhh fun. Saturday we're going to the Chattanooga Aquarium with a TON of people & 5 Guys (again!) for lunch...should be awesome (: I'll blog about that later!
Love, love!

Drunk Driving:
IS DUMB. Why risk someone else's life because you want to
drink!? Seriously? GROW UP.
Legal Driving Age:
Some countries think we're crazy for letting people drive at 16. And I agree at times.

Young Marriages:

dissing teen moms, I'm just saying...consider things...don't just jump into it.

Gay Marriage:I do NOT agree with it. BUT, I am not going to get in a fight with someone over it either. It's their choice, we can't change them...so whatever.
Rocketing Gas Prices:
Wish it would stop!
Minimum Wage ($6.75):
I think it's $7.25, actually.Currently not my problem though.
Drunk Driving:
IS DUMB. Why risk someone else's life because you want to
drink!? Seriously? GROW UP.
Legal Driving Age:
Some countries think we're crazy for letting people drive at 16. And I agree at times.
But I don't think you should be able to serve your country & not be able to drive. lol So, I guess 16 is good.
Anorexia:
Terrible.
Young Marriages:
I think it's okay, if you truly believe they're "the one".
But if you have a lot of people coming up to you, telling you
that you may want to reconsider...just humor them. You may
find out something that will really help you out in the future. Just saying.
Young Parents:
If you're married, sure.
Pregnancy without a Marriage:I think it's kind of risky bringing a child into this
world without a steady mother & father figure in his/her life. I'm not
dissing teen moms, I'm just saying...consider things...don't just jump into it.
Telemarketers:
They get a lot of mess don't they?
Pop Quizzes:
Are AWESOME when the question is like "what's your name?" & it's
worth 100 points. lol (No, really, I had a teacher who would do that when a lot
of people didn't show up for class. lol)
This Survey:

My absolutely AMAZING weekend!!!
Well, let's start with good ol' Friday night!
Well last Sunday night we went to eat at Krystal's with Ider peeps & Brett & a few others. At that time, the Ider people asked us to come to their singing Friday night...so that's what we did! Some of the Pleasant Grove people were supposed to come but it didn't work out for any of them to be able to come except Morgan & her friend Emily. But that was okay! (: The singing was pretty good & we had a blast sitting back there talking & eating 2 bags of Life Saver Gummies (fave.candy.EVER!) We had a really good time, and Blake got to see his old friend Tyler Hughes! I know he was very excited. (: After the singing we stood outside freezing, talking forEVER with Jesse, Justin, Kacy, Alicia, Dolan & Jen...then after that, we went to the car & talked for ANOTHER forever with Alicia! Then we realized that there were still people there at the church...it was upwards of 12 a.m. We go up to be nosey & see who it is, and it's Jarad, Tonya & Kayla! Imagine that. (: So we ended up sitting there & talking to Jarad & Tonya for a while. As I was attacked by Miss Whitney every 5 minutes. That child's a mess, but you can't help but love her. (: We FINALLY got home after 1 a.m. & I fell into bed to pass out.
Saturday morning we got up...well... I got up, & spent 45 minutes trying to get BLAKE up, because we had planned to go to Chattanooga with Alicia. So we got up, got ready (FINALLY) and was at her house around 12 ish. Blake helped Jenni (Say it in a Forrest Gump voice... "Jenn-ayyy") put together a rabbit cage & we were on our way...at around 1. We went to Tiftonia to get food (we hadn't ate yet) at Hardee's (Blake's choice.) & then on to Rick's Music Room (or something like that). We were there for quite a while just looking at all the guitars & crazy instruments & talking to Rick... (Btw, I'm looking for a reasonably priced banjo...if you know anyone wanting to sell one, let me know!) after what felt like FOREVER we finally got out of there...but the Rick dude was very nice. (: We then decided to go to Wal-Mart so I could pick up a new pack of hot sticks & the Mumford & Sons CD! (Rock-ish music, sang by Irish men, with BANJOS!!! haha) I love them! So I ended up getting their CD "Sigh No More" AND a "Very Best of Johnny Cash" CD. I was very happy. (: By that time, Alicia was kinda hungry (she hadn't ate at Hardee's) so we took her to Taco Bell & got some more food. Haha. We love to eat. Bad, I know. I have to stop. Anyways, after being there for a while just hanging out, we headed back home so that we could drop Alicia off in Ider & head home to get ready for church. When we got to Alicia's, her mom had people over there giving her bunnies! So we played with the bunnies for a while in the barn as it POURED down rain...we smelled TERRIBLE, I'm sure. We eventually HAD to leave so we could be decent for church. Church was good, Bro. Mark & Sis. Tammy Cantrell was there. We were supposed to have communion but it didn't really go that way, so we didn't have it. After church, we actually went HOME (I KNOW!!!) & and ate. It was nice to be home. ha.
Sunday morning we got up & got ready for church. I had been told we were going to have some visitors & stuff but I had no clue how many! We ran a little late so we came in when Uncle Larry was welcoming everyone. I looked up & there was like a bajillion visitors! I was soooo happy! lol Just on the bench in front of me was Jarrod, Mallory, Alicia & Allison... there was a TON of our friends with the holy holy there! I still can't get over how blessed we are to have such wonderful friends. (: Church was AMAZING...and I'm not just saying that. There were so many wonderful testimonies! Anyways, after church we went down to the basement to eat our AMAZING food (everyone says it's the best...so you should come check it out sometime! (:) and we couldn't even fit all the young people to 4 tables! It was awesome! I sat down at the end with Raeven, Jarrod & Logan (Mal jumping in every once in a while (;) & we laughed a LOT. It was fun! We got home in time to take a nap even...lol Well I was laying down to take a nap when my Aunt Ellene called asking if I wanted to go with her to take Madyson & Michael home. So of course, I said yes. We took them down to Rainsville & got into the church right at the first song. I'm not used to making so many fashionably late entrances, it's strange. This was apparently my weekend to be late every service! After church we had a men's meeting on one side of the church & a women's meeting on the other, discussing our next singing! And as far as I know, it will be March 16th! We don't know who is going to be singing, but I'll definitely let you guys know so you can come! (: After that, we went to Pizza Hut to meet our Ider friends! We got there before them so we already (thankfully) had our pizza when the ENTIRE IDER CHURCH CAME IN! lol Pizza Hut hates us. No, really. They do. lol We stayed there until they closed & then went out into the parking lot & ended up talking to Tonya & Jarad for like 40 minutes. I laughed so hard I was crying & I had a terrrible headache when I got home. AND they made me miss The Voice! RAWR! (; (I got to watch it last night online, so it was okay.) It was great...we LOVE hanging out with them! When I got home I got an IM from Tonya saying to call her. When I did, they asked us to go to Toney with them Monday night...of course, we said yes!
Pretty much as soon as I woke up I had to clean foreverrrr. Then went to Lowe's with Dad to get a pump for our bathroom. Then more cleaning. Yay. lol That evening I got ready & we met the peeps over at Ashley & Macy's house. They had borrowed a van to go to Toney in so we could all ride together...I was thinking it was gonna be one of those creepy kidnapper vans. But it. was. AWESOME. lol It was totally old school, but when you got in it, it was HUGE! We had SO much fun riding in there together. We cracked up the whole time, of course! We got to church about right on time, I knew Raeven & Mallory were going so I looked for Mal when I went in. I sat down & was pretty much immediately spotted by a very shocked Bailey & Garrett! I think Bailey was very happy to see us! lol After hugging them & Lindz, I looked over, and there was Jarrod & Nathan! lol Church lasted a little while (but not near as long as a normal Toney service!) and they didn't even have altar call! Bro. David dismissed and everyone was just like :O lol After church, we hung around a while & then we went to McDonald's to eat with Raeven, Mallory, Tristan, Nathan & Jarrod. (And apparently we almost ran over them in the ginormous van we were in. lol) They didn't get to stay long but we got to talk a little bit at the worst McDonald's EVER. haha (Shield's Road!) Our food was sitting right there and they didn't even tell us! Man. lol Oh well. After we got done eating, we headed home, and stopped at a gas station where I got Blake to get out and get me some Carmex. (I've lose 2 tubes in the last 2 days! lol) I left my last silver tube at Toney! Ughh. Anyways, after a SUPERRR long ride home (but fun again, nonetheless!) we got home around 1 a.m.!
The weekend was really, really awesome. I had a blast hanging out with everyone! (Especially Jarad & Tonya!) There was a LOT of laughter...that's my favorite. (:
Well, until next time!
Love, love!
