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? (:

I can't believe this!!!
did that get your attention? Well goooooduh. (:
So I've went almost 2 weeks without writing a real blog. Oops..again. lol
Wow...I can't even remember what all I've done the past 2 weeks! As always, I've been busy though!
In the past 2 weeks I've had like 6 blood sugar tests, read an entire series of books (Percy Jackson! Whoop whoop!) & had many a' good laughs. (;
Last Friday night (Like, last LAST Friday night) we went to Huntsville to see Bailey! We met up with Ross, Bailey, Leah & Shelby at Chili's in Jones Valley & it was great! Afterwards, we went to Bailey's house & the plan was to play Monopoly but it turned into Phase 10 since it was so late & we didn't have time for Monopoly. A couple hours & a lot of ridiculous laughter & tweets later, we headed home.
Saturday we just chilled at home! I watched the Back Up Plan with my mom, made some tacos, came home, actually ATE the tacos & watched Benny & Joon with the family (:
Sunday we got up & Blake, mom & Grandmother went to Rising Fawn. Me & Dad went to the less than an hour long service at Brown's Chapel & had "Daddy/Daughter Day". What goes into that? Washing a car, going to eat & coming home to take a nap. I love those days (: That night I got the beach pictures from back in April from Aunt Connie! They're so good! (Remind me to show them to you this weekend Bailey!!!) And then after church we went to eat at Lalito's! It was awesome & I had a blast on my end of the table with the Whited family & Hunter... #replacingbandnameswithpancakes! (;
Fast Forward to Thursday night when we met up with the gang & had a cookout/movie night! We (meaning me, Blake, Seth, Abby, Haley, Ella, Garyn, Kacy & Jesse) watched Priest & had the biggest hamburgers EVER. lol It was sooo good cause Rod did the cooking! And I had the BEST cupcake in.the.world from Fiona! Tie dye cake, tie dye frosting, CREAM IN THE MIDDLE! OML!!! lol It was the best! We had an absolute blast! I love hanging with the Finlaysons! (:
Friday night was Taylor's SURPRISE (!!!) birthday party! And I believe she really was surprised! I had such a great time! It wasn't miserably hot & it was just a really chill time! Loved it! And I got to see my bestie Shaun again!!! Whoot whoo! (:
Saturday morning we had planned to go to play with the little kids at the orphanage or something with Griffin people but it was cancelled (I believe due to death) so I stayed at home. Blake went to eat & to town with Kenzie. That night we went to church & after church we picked up some fast food & went to Alicia Black's house to chill with her before she headed back to Shorter! This pretty much consisted of us looking at funny websites & laughing at @miilkkk's tweets!
Sunday morning we went to Ider for church & Bro. Jimmy preached...he did amazing! It was so good. After church, eating & hanging with my Ider peeps for a few moments, me, Blake & Brett went to the funeral home for a few minutes (literally, that's all we could stand...we were pouring sweat!) & headed home. That night, after church (it lasted about an hour again) we went to Trenton, ate, & went to Brett's house. After a ridiculous volleyball game that just reminded me how much I HATE VOLLEYBALL, we went inside & attempted to play Cranium. Apparently, me & Alyshia were getting a wee bit "too loud" doing our act & they quit in the midst of it. lol We didn't notice for a while. When me & Aly Whoop get together it's like bff central all over again! I always miss her so bad! After a while everyone but me, Blake, Alex & Garrett had left...so we decided to play Phase 10 & I finally got to use my awesome Phase 10 Score App on my phone! It rocks! (:
Today, I got up around 8 to go to the doctor for my 2nd to last sugar testing & once again, I tested 99! YAYYY!!! I got all 3 of my good readings (122, 99, & 99!) but we're gonna go back ONE MORE TIME on Wednesday for good measure! I'm so glad that I'm beginning to get my sugar under control but the only BAD thing is that I'm gaining weight from it! Apparently after you start taking insulin normally you have to diet & exercise like crazy to keep the weight off & lose more...a big difference from just losing weight from doing nothing! Ugh. So I'm pretty bummed about that but I'm just gonna have to work hard & get the weight back off & KEEP IT OFF! Also, today, I went to NACC HOPING & PRAYING I could get one more online class! Sadly, it didn't work out so I ended up with a class from 6-9 on Wednesday nights! That means I'll be missing a lot of church & that makes me super sad. ): ughh...good thing, Seth is going that night too so we can carpool, I won't be alone & mom won't have to go with me! (Dad doesn't want me out there at night alone & mom would have had to gone with me!) We've already devised a plan on how we will avoid getting mugged that late at night (;
I hope everyone has an amazing rest of the week! (:

When you're gone, colors seem to fade
Man, have I ever been busy. Well, I guess I'll start with Sunday before last...I don't remember where I left off really, so I guess that's as good a place as any. lol
Sunday morning me, Mom, Dad & Grandmother went to Mt. Pisgah for church. It was really good! Right before we finished singing, though, the power went out. Yep, community power outtage. And right after that, Destiny had a spell & couldn't even stand up! The Lord came by & helped her, they said a few words to the lost & gave altar call. It was getting REALLY hot by the time this all happened. I only stayed down in the altar a few minutes & was sweating sooo bad my clothes were sticking on me. Once I got up, sat back & talked to Macy & Cheyenne a little bit, my dad was ready to go. So we left & a few minutes later, Aunt Lisa & Uncle Jamie pulled up beside us. So we decided to go eat at Randy's in Trenton. After we got there, Shaun text me & said the power had came back on minutes after we left & it was cooled down again. Oh well. lol
That night, we went to Sylvania for church. We usually don't go anywhere but BC on Sunday night so it was a big deal that my whole family went. lol That night, the Lord REALLY blessed me in the altar & I'm so thankful. I feel like everytime I pray good, I get a little closer to getting the holyghost. Hopefully VERY soon it will be the final time I have to go, & I will have the holyghost finally! Afterwards, we ate at the church kitchen...mom & dad left but me, Blake, Hilary, Ella & Seth stayed. Church hadn't lasted too long so one we dropped Seth & Ella off at Higdon church to get their car, Hilary asked me & Blake (yep, I was the third wheel) to come to her house & watch Rio. So we stayed there til about 12 & finally got home.
Monday-Zachary came to fix our AC AGAIN & we sat & talked to him for about an hour or longer.
Tuesday- the biggest thing that really happened to me was I decided that I needed to delete my Facebook so I can focus on praying & more important things.
Wednesday- I went to church at Brown's Chapel
Thursday- We had a "date night". Well, that's what it was SUPPOSED to be. lol It got blown wayyy outta proportion. Hilary wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant on karaoke night so she could sing. I figured it'd just be her & Blake but she wanted me to go & bring a "date". Well, I'm not dating anyone & there's only one person I could think of that would probably go (as a friend) & I would have a good time with---Shaun, of course. So I asked him to go. So then it would be a double date. No. Blake asked Seth & Ella which was all well & good. Hilary asked Breanna & she asked Jonathon to go with her. Still, that was fine. Quadruple date? I could deal. Well once we got to the restaurant there was somehow, FIFTEEN people. Oh yeah. Word gets around quickly in Holiness-land. hahaha. It was okay though, we had a GREAT time & I met some new people! And I always love to meet new people. (:
Friday- I went to work & afterwards, came home & got ready to go to my little cousin Melisha's Sweet 16 party! It was Football themed & really fun! We had a great time & she got a lot of cute stuff & a lot of money! Go her! (:
Saturday- About 2 o'clock we went to Brett's house to hang out with her & Amber. We ate pizza & watched The Adjustment Bureau (SUPER good, btw!) & stayed there til like 10 after 6 when we went to church. Church was REALLY good. Uncle Larry preached about a little bit of everything & just dismissed. He preached a while though & it was almost 10 when we got out. We were just gonna head home but Alyshia had text us to tell us to come by her house cause they were having food...that ended up being a lot of fun as well & we ended up staying there til almost 1! I must say, I was pooped & pretty much had to FORCE Blake to leave then! But I knew I was gonna have to get up early since it was Sunday AND first weekend!
Sunday morning-I got up, cooked breakfast, ate & got ready for church. We're still having church in the basement (since our church flooded) so I didn't really expect many visitors but was pleasantly surprised! Among the visitors were Bro. Mark & Sis. Tammy Cantrell & a couple from Florida, Luke, Devan, Jesse, Kacy & Whitney! It doesn't sound like much but altogether we had a nice crowd! Church was REALLY good again & pretty much everyone that got up, got a blessing. I was so happy! When people get blessings, it makes them want to come back! So yay! (: After church was over (it last about 3 & a half hours!) we went over to Aunt Lisa & Uncle Jamie's & had dinner. Yum. (: We all hung out, I took a 45 minute nap & then we went back to church.
Sunday Night-Church was kinda weird. lol We sang a couple songs & the Lord started to move. Their was no first prayer & Uncle Larry talked a little bit. They ended up having a neck hug---mid church. After that, they laid hands on, me, Hollie & Melisha a lot. Hollie started to pray! She finished & they encouraged her. They decided to go ahead & have altar call. Everyone prayed, did their thing & got up. A couple people testified & encouraged the lost & Bro. Evan said he needed to do something. He came & hugged me & laid hands on me. I started to pray again (because they told us when people laid hands on us, for us to raise our hands & pray) out of respect & I sat back down. After a little bit, they started talking to Uncle Jim & he prayed a little. Then Uncle Larry just looked at my little cousin Emily & said "Aren't you tired of being sad?" & she started to cry harder than she already was. Then he said "Emmy, do you want the holyghost?" & she said yes! Then he said "When do you want it?" And she said "NOW!" & he said "Do you wanna pray?" & she just walked out there. I really thought she was going to make it that night but she didn't. After a few more people testified, Uncle Larry said he felt like we needed to have church Monday night because we didn't need to let such an amazing feeling pass us. After church. Blake insisted that we go out to eat & we went to Rafael's. I text a few people, including Shaun, but no one really text back. Shaun said "naw." so I figured he was just in one of those moods & said okay. When I got there, Alicia Black met me at the front & said "Hey, Shaun & his family are here too!" & I was like that butt. lol But we talked to Erik & found out Higdon was having church too on Monday night! (Isn't it weird how sometimes it seems like if one church has an amazing weekend & decides to have church, there are others that do too? lol) I text some people about church hoping they'd come on Monday night!
Monday night- Church started at 7:30 & much to my surprise, Bro. Lee, Sis. Patti, Macy & Ashley came in! I had asked Macy to come but honestly didn't think she would. lol Then Kacy, Jesse, Seth & Whitney came in! I was like YES! Church started & it was getting good when the door opened & in stepped Bro. OLLIE! I could have cried! I love him SO much! He's one of my favorite talkers, preachers, whatever in the WHOLE WORLD! When he came in, he came in laying hands on people. Everyone started shouting & it was great. He had a friend, Bro. Teddy with him & he was so awesome too! Anyways, church lasted til about 10 again & all the young people got a blessing. It was great. I cried a lot, again. Bro. Ollie preached a little bit about Godly Sorrow & it made more sense to me than it EVER had. It was sooo good. After church we decided to go to South Pittsburg (since they go by slow time) & ate at Taco Bell. We only stayed there a little over an hour & then went to Sonic for ice cream. We had a LOT of fun with everyone (Macy & Ashley rode with us) & laughed a LOT. Especially hearing Kacy try to say "Sushi", "Chef Salad", & "Massachusetts" & telling stories about our Smokies trip! It was a lot of fun. Oh, & then Kacy wanted me to ask Sonic for the Lord's Supper & a diet coke. ahaha. I settled on a "Communion Shake". (:
Anyways, as always, my life is great. My friends are amazing. My Lord is the best. I still have some things to work out, but I feel like everything's gonna change here soon, & for the better! (:

So...
is anyone else totally amazed & super freaked out that it is AUGUST 1ST?!
Oh my goodness. Where has time gone? It's flying by! This summer has gone by so quickly!
The whole year has honestly! It seems like yesterday that it was a White Christmas!
We have gone & gone & goneeee places this summer. And this year! Just thinking about all I've done blows my mind. I've been to the Smokies & the beach already this year. So weird! And we're planning another trip very soon.
My whole life has really changed this summer. I have tried harder than EVER to be the best person I can be, & do whatever it takes to receive the holyghost. And I believe soon, that will finally happen! I remember Bailey naming her summer album, at the very beginning of summer, "The Summer of Hope". Wow. What a summer it has become. She received the holyghost. I am going to. It's crazy. Life is sooo different. I know it's for the better.
Well that's about all I really had on my mind...so I'll go now. (:

I Waste So Much Time
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

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!!! (:
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!

Monday, June 27, 2011
Best week I've had in a while!!! (:
So Tuesday evening (despite storm #389798 of the year) I went to Scottsboro! The brother went with me & we had a great time laughing like crazy & making up new lyrics to the song "Somewhere with You" by Kenny Chesney. I wish I would have wrote the words down cause it was amazing & now we can't remember what the words were! Ugh! But anywho, we ended up leaving like an hour early so we could just take our time going & that we did. We ended up being about 20 minutes early for church but I'd much rather be early than running late. So church went kind of strangely but it was good. Afterwards, we went to go get food & head back to Alyssa's house & after contemplating whether or not to go through the drive thru of Krystals or go to the lobby, we decided to go in. (Caleb Kirkpatrick actually tells the drive thru people he's going inside instead...me & Alyssa was just gonna drive off. That kid has manners! lol) What a mistake going in turned out to be. It took the 45 min. (Yes, that's FORTY FIVE MINUTES) to make 4 small orders. Like...seriously? There's a huge grill. Pump em out! Good grief. Anyways, we FINALLY made it over to Alyssa's & I met some of the Scottsboro kids that I didn't know yet. (Like Constance & Caitlyn) Me, Jasmine & Caitlyn ended up sitting on the porch most of the time talking to each other about anything & everything. It was nice. Around 11 people started leaving the house & we started to settle down again...that is until Adrian & Stephanie came in & we started talking about a trait that obviously runs in our family---sleepwalking. We told sooo many stories & were dying laughing! We laughed so much, me & Alyssa couldn't sleep when we got ready for bed! We tossed & turned for probably 20 minutes until I hear !!! *exaggerated sigh*!!! from Alyssa. I was like what? And she was like I can't sleep! I said, Me either! Let's go get some water or something. So we head to the kitchen & she realized she had a cold. So we start going through the cabinets looking for cold medicine (I had the sniffles too, mind you.) that was for nighttime. So we both took the nasty 2 tablespoons of Honey & Lemon cold medicine (yuccckkkk) & went back to the room. I would just like to make it clear at this point that I NEVER take medicine. Like...hardly even for a headache. So the least little thing does a doozy on me. So I get in the room & turned the light off but we were still wired so I turned the flashlight on my phone on & started doing shadow puppets on the ceiling. And we giggled like school girls. Then I tried to tell Alyssa a painfully long story that made absolutely no sense & I even was slurring my words! I don't know what was in that stuff but about 2 minutes later, we were both out like a light. lol We slept sooo good & felt VERY rested when we got up for church the next morning!
Wednesday morning I got up at 8 ish, before anyone else, & started getting ready for church. We went over & church didn't last very long. We ate dinner & they even had a little prayer meeting for some of the young girls & a few older ones. It was really cute. After that was over we went over to Alyssa's house to hang out for a while...actually, I took a nap. haha. But then I got up & hung out with them! (: That night we got to church & it lasted a little while...me & Mallory reunited with this gorgeous & sweet baby that we had met the night before & played with little Erin the whole time. She's got the most beautiful smile! Okay, back to the story. Afterwards, we went to someone named Miranda's house to eat some tacos & stuff. We headed back to the house thinking that we would have to get in bed for church the next morning but sadly, before we even left the driveway, Jazz told us about Sis. Vernie May (sp?) passing away. So the rest of revival was cancelled. Me & Alyssa actually went on to bed fairly early & I got my stuff ready the next morning to head home. (I was gonna stay until after church Thursday night until it was cancelled). I met up with Brett at her work at 12 & went home. I had such a great time though with the Scottsboro peeps...I definitely plan to go out there again sometime! Hopefully soon! (:
So Friday evening we finally decided (after much debate) that we were going to go to Huntsville and hang out with the pals.
Then the storm hit.
I wasn't too bad nervous at first, but then Mom calls me & is like you need to go to Grandmother's house right now. There's a tornado headed towards Bryant. I'm like ohhh mess. So I run out the door. Then I realize I can't leave Bama there alone so I run back in & get him. He wasn't too happy about that. But luckily, in just a few minutes, the worst of the storms had passed & Mom & Blake got home so we started getting ready. (Oh yeah, storms don't stop these party animals!...RIGGGGHHHTT) We thought we were gonna be superrrr late since it was already like 5:30 & we were supposed to be at the restaurant at 7. But we got to Scottsboro & I called JK back to see where they were at & he said we had plenty of time to get there. We were going toRed Robin, Buffalo Wild Wings, Zaxby's. lol That's like our go to place. Love us some chicken. haha. But we did go to BWW first. The people had already given our table away once by the time we got there so we just went on over to Zaxby's. (I got these terriyaki boneless chicken wings & they were sooo good! They tasted like soy sauce! haha) So we hung out there for quite a while & just talked & laughed...& was frozen by imaginary poisonous darts... (WHAT THE MESS?!) Brett went on a air horn craze & was scaring the mess out of people with it. Good stuff. Anywho, we decided to go back to Hil's house & hang out there so the crew went over. (The crew being: Me, Brett, Kenzie, Hil, Blake, Garrett, JK, Ross, Ben, Brit & Aly!) We hung out there forever doing all kinds of junk. Blake, Eric & Kenzie played Xbox, Garrett & Hil played Ping Pong, Brit knocked the junk out of a boxing bag & the rest of us kinda sat around looking pretty. lol Around 11 people started leaving & it ended up being me, Hil, Brett & Eric watching Adventure Time...then Bailey came in! I was so happy! (: I don't get to see her much anymore so I miss her a wholeee lot! We hung out for a while & ended up going to sleep fairly quickly.
We woke up Saturday morning, threw on some clothes & went to Madison mall.We were meeting the boys at P.F. Changs at 12:30 and it was like 11. lol So we hurried & went over there...after quite a while, Brett finally got to Zorb! She has been wanting to for a while! Me, Hil & Bail just watched. Ain't no way I'm getting in a five feet plastic ball & trying to walk on water. Ain't happenin'. So I went into Hot Topic where I found a Hunger Games shirt for $6! I was sooo excited! lol Brett got the Zorbing done finally & we headed over to Bridge Street's P.F. Changs! It was soooo good! I got fried rice with chicken & shrimp & ohhh myyy Lord. lol It was amazing! JK got these fried green bean things that weren't that great. Obviously Chinese green beans aren't like country green beans or something. Eek. Anywho, after that we headed over to Orange Tree (which could possibly be in the middle of changing it's name to Peach Wave? It's confusing.) & got some froyo. It wasn't as good as Sweet CeCe's but they did have Cheesecake FROYO!!! It was pretty decent & got rid of the sweet craving we all had. The boys went on home & did whatever boys do & the four of us went to take a couple pics. We passed this clothing store that had a ton of DOGS IN IT! It was like an adoption thing going on & the puppies were sooo cute! We played with them for quite a while & FINALLY headed home. We dropped Bail off at work & went to Hil's house. Brett got her stuff together & headed home & me & Hil took a nap before we got ready to go to the funeral home for Blake Chance's grandmother. I met someone who reads my blog! haha How exciting is that!? Shout out to Sis. Susie Kelly! (: We stayed at the funeral home a couple of hours & decided we were hungry. JK decided we were going to Krystal's & that just didn't sound too good to me & Brit so Hil took us through Taco Bell's drive thru so we could get some food. Oh yeah, I got food for $2.16! You can't beat that man! (: We got over to Krystal's & of course all the boys wanted our food. lol TOO BAD! lol jk I did a switcheroo with the B-bro so he could have some Taco Bell as well. Hilary's allergies were soooo bad that night! She could hardly see. But she didn't want me to have to drive so she dealt with it. We stopped at the gas station & I went in to pay for it. When I came out of the gas station this guys looks at me & says "Excuse me?" as I walked by...I kinda kept walking but said "Yes?" (He was a little sketchy looking...) He held up his hand to his ear like a phone & says "Jesus on the main line, you can tell him what you want." and keeps walking. I was just like "uhhh...*giggle*" lol I didn't know what to say. I figured he was either making fun of me (I was in church clothes after all.) or Jesus wanted him to tell me that. lol Or he was gonna come back & rob/kill me. So I told Hil what happened & I was kinda nervous so I was like hurry & pump the gas & let's go! haha. So we jumped in the car & got outta there...you know...just in case. (: We got back to the house at about 10:20 & went to sleep. We slept almost 10 hours. For a couple of girls staying the night together, that's a big accomplishment!
We got up Sunday morning at 8 & got ready to go to Oak Grove's singing. Oh. My. Lord. Sunday was sooo much fun!!! The singing was really good (even if it was like a sauna in the back)! During the singing, Brit & JK got word that their cousin Rachel had received the holyghost at Pleasant Oak so they left to go see her. Me & Blake went to Subway & ate with Jameson & Mackenzie. After we got done, we headed back up to Grant to wait for church to start....even though it was a longgg time. lol On our way, the skies got VERY dark & it started to storm. I was really afraid we were gonna see a tornado but thankfully, we didn't. We got to the church & talked to Micah & Cody for a little while & were gonna try & go find Ernie's house (we aren't creepers, she had asked us if we wanted to come over earlier.) By the time we got there, they were coming back over to the church to have prayer (or singing) meeting so we just came back to the church. I saw Derrick Simpson in the parking lot & I was sooo excited that I did a little dance! I love that guy! (: So we went in the church & around 3:45 they started to sing...and sing...and sing. lol No praying. haha. But around 4:20 people started coming in for church so I went back in the back to sit down (I had been in the front singing with them.) And my best friend Lorie Edwards came in! I love her too! It was her birthday! (Happy birthday #3 Flossie!) So we sat back there & cracked each other up until church started (and I must admit, even a little afterwards.) Church didn't last long AT ALL. It started at 5 & we were out by 6:45. So everyone headed to Seth & Devan's house. This is where I really met & got to talk to the awesome Mr. Caleb Long! He's so cool! haha. Me, Him & Ernie sat on the porch & talked with different people for probably like 2 hours. It was sooo much fun! (If I marry anyone who happens to be out there reading this, I have decided that I want a big porch with rocking chairs & a swing on it. (:) We stayed out there for a whileeee & finally headed home around 11 our time. It was just such a good day! I love revival season! (:
Wednesday morning I got up at 8 ish, before anyone else, & started getting ready for church. We went over & church didn't last very long. We ate dinner & they even had a little prayer meeting for some of the young girls & a few older ones. It was really cute. After that was over we went over to Alyssa's house to hang out for a while...actually, I took a nap. haha. But then I got up & hung out with them! (: That night we got to church & it lasted a little while...me & Mallory reunited with this gorgeous & sweet baby that we had met the night before & played with little Erin the whole time. She's got the most beautiful smile! Okay, back to the story. Afterwards, we went to someone named Miranda's house to eat some tacos & stuff. We headed back to the house thinking that we would have to get in bed for church the next morning but sadly, before we even left the driveway, Jazz told us about Sis. Vernie May (sp?) passing away. So the rest of revival was cancelled. Me & Alyssa actually went on to bed fairly early & I got my stuff ready the next morning to head home. (I was gonna stay until after church Thursday night until it was cancelled). I met up with Brett at her work at 12 & went home. I had such a great time though with the Scottsboro peeps...I definitely plan to go out there again sometime! Hopefully soon! (:
So Friday evening we finally decided (after much debate) that we were going to go to Huntsville and hang out with the pals.
Then the storm hit.
I wasn't too bad nervous at first, but then Mom calls me & is like you need to go to Grandmother's house right now. There's a tornado headed towards Bryant. I'm like ohhh mess. So I run out the door. Then I realize I can't leave Bama there alone so I run back in & get him. He wasn't too happy about that. But luckily, in just a few minutes, the worst of the storms had passed & Mom & Blake got home so we started getting ready. (Oh yeah, storms don't stop these party animals!...RIGGGGHHHTT) We thought we were gonna be superrrr late since it was already like 5:30 & we were supposed to be at the restaurant at 7. But we got to Scottsboro & I called JK back to see where they were at & he said we had plenty of time to get there. We were going to
We woke up Saturday morning, threw on some clothes & went to Madison mall.We were meeting the boys at P.F. Changs at 12:30 and it was like 11. lol So we hurried & went over there...after quite a while, Brett finally got to Zorb! She has been wanting to for a while! Me, Hil & Bail just watched. Ain't no way I'm getting in a five feet plastic ball & trying to walk on water. Ain't happenin'. So I went into Hot Topic where I found a Hunger Games shirt for $6! I was sooo excited! lol Brett got the Zorbing done finally & we headed over to Bridge Street's P.F. Changs! It was soooo good! I got fried rice with chicken & shrimp & ohhh myyy Lord. lol It was amazing! JK got these fried green bean things that weren't that great. Obviously Chinese green beans aren't like country green beans or something. Eek. Anywho, after that we headed over to Orange Tree (which could possibly be in the middle of changing it's name to Peach Wave? It's confusing.) & got some froyo. It wasn't as good as Sweet CeCe's but they did have Cheesecake FROYO!!! It was pretty decent & got rid of the sweet craving we all had. The boys went on home & did whatever boys do & the four of us went to take a couple pics. We passed this clothing store that had a ton of DOGS IN IT! It was like an adoption thing going on & the puppies were sooo cute! We played with them for quite a while & FINALLY headed home. We dropped Bail off at work & went to Hil's house. Brett got her stuff together & headed home & me & Hil took a nap before we got ready to go to the funeral home for Blake Chance's grandmother. I met someone who reads my blog! haha How exciting is that!? Shout out to Sis. Susie Kelly! (: We stayed at the funeral home a couple of hours & decided we were hungry. JK decided we were going to Krystal's & that just didn't sound too good to me & Brit so Hil took us through Taco Bell's drive thru so we could get some food. Oh yeah, I got food for $2.16! You can't beat that man! (: We got over to Krystal's & of course all the boys wanted our food. lol TOO BAD! lol jk I did a switcheroo with the B-bro so he could have some Taco Bell as well. Hilary's allergies were soooo bad that night! She could hardly see. But she didn't want me to have to drive so she dealt with it. We stopped at the gas station & I went in to pay for it. When I came out of the gas station this guys looks at me & says "Excuse me?" as I walked by...I kinda kept walking but said "Yes?" (He was a little sketchy looking...) He held up his hand to his ear like a phone & says "Jesus on the main line, you can tell him what you want." and keeps walking. I was just like "uhhh...*giggle*" lol I didn't know what to say. I figured he was either making fun of me (I was in church clothes after all.) or Jesus wanted him to tell me that. lol Or he was gonna come back & rob/kill me. So I told Hil what happened & I was kinda nervous so I was like hurry & pump the gas & let's go! haha. So we jumped in the car & got outta there...you know...just in case. (: We got back to the house at about 10:20 & went to sleep. We slept almost 10 hours. For a couple of girls staying the night together, that's a big accomplishment!
We got up Sunday morning at 8 & got ready to go to Oak Grove's singing. Oh. My. Lord. Sunday was sooo much fun!!! The singing was really good (even if it was like a sauna in the back)! During the singing, Brit & JK got word that their cousin Rachel had received the holyghost at Pleasant Oak so they left to go see her. Me & Blake went to Subway & ate with Jameson & Mackenzie. After we got done, we headed back up to Grant to wait for church to start....even though it was a longgg time. lol On our way, the skies got VERY dark & it started to storm. I was really afraid we were gonna see a tornado but thankfully, we didn't.

hmmm.
Man..I haven't blogged in over a week! So crazy. But here we go.
Monday night, after my last blog, Blake went to Rising Fawn & I just stayed at the house. I just wasn't in the mood to go anywhere. But I sooo wish I would have because that night, at Huntsville, one of my best friends got the holyghost! BAILEY JEAN GAINES!!! Yep! I got the call about 10:30 my time. At first I thought it was Blake calling to say he was headed home or something because it was on the house phone (which NONE of my friends call) but I didn't know the number. All I could hear was "RAH RAH RAH! *giggles*" I was like Hello? Because at this time I thought Blake has butt dialed me. lol "RAH RAH RAH! *giggles*" was my reply. Finally I said HELLO!? and I hear "APRIL!" I was like "Yeah?" "I GOT THE HOLYGHOST!" "That's great!...Who is this?" "BAILEY! I GOT THE HOLYGHOST! *giggles*" I literally barely screeched out "Bailey?!" and I started bawling. It was sooo sweet though. Finally after moments of silence (I was still crying & couldn't speak) she said she was gonna go & she'd talk to me later. So of course I immediately began planning to go to Huntsville on Tuesday night. After work I got home & got ready & we headed down there. It was me, Blake, Mom & Alyshia. Church was good, Zaxby's was good afterwards (even if I think they probably spit in our food because we came in 15 min. before the closed...) but the ride home was a BLAST! It included me & Aly singing (even when we didn't know the words) to every song that came on the radio & from Scottsboro to home? RAPPING! hahaha. It was sooo funny! I love spending time with Aly! It's like the good ol' days all over again! (:
Wednesday night I went to church at the BC (that I can remember..lol). Friday we had planned to leave for ATL to spend some time with our cousins but just decided to leave Saturday morning (which, like I told them, ended up being not so early). So we hung out with the parentals Friday night (not a usual thing for us..there's always SOMETHING going on!)
Saturday around 12:30 we made it to McDonough, GA! I was soo happy! I was so tired of being in the car. lol But we hung out there & Blake, Skylar, Dylan & Coby all went to church. I stayed with Aunt NJ to help her cook for homecoming & spend some time with her. So we finished cooking & watched the Bachelorette. About 10 the kids showed up from church & brought Zaxby's..yumm! We ended up staying up until 3:30 in the morning talking to them & Misti (my new bff! haha) & reallllly regretted it when we had to wake up at like 7:30 to get ready for church!
We finallllly got ready & headed to the church (about 45 min away) at almost 10. (The singing started at 10:30) but we must have hit a time portal cause we got there almost on time. Anyways, the singing started & got going real good. So good they ended up having altar call. Then they broke for dinner for about an hour & started the second half...it lasted until 5:30...church started at 6. lol After the altar call from the second half, we left to head home & got home about 9:30 (after a wonderful stop at Arby's!)
Tonight, I am going to church at Scottsboro & staying there with my wonderful little cousin Alyssa, until after Thursday night's service! I'm realllly excited! I think it's gonna be a blast! (:
See ya'll later! (:

Ohhh weekend!
Well, my weekend began on Friday!
Friday I had to work, so I was pretty anxious all day for the evening. I took the kids out to play in the water for a little bit before Matt got home & I was soaked by the time he showed up. I went home & changed clothes & drove (Yes, DROVE!!!) my mom to Higdon to run some errands. When I FINALLY got home, I found out Blake was still at the job site & we (being me & Mama Hannah) was gonna have to wait til he got home. We were supposed to be at Logan's Roadhouse on Airport Road in Huntsville at 7:30 fast time. We didn't leave our house til 7:45 because once he got home, Blake decided to take his own little sweet time about getting ready. So me, him & Hannah ended up stopping atZaxby's Arby's Krystal's to eat & it was delicious! We had a good time singing songs to the top of our lungs (I don't sing in the shower, I belt it out in the car! [pun intended]) I got a phone call from JK when we were about 20 minutes away from Hilary's house, saying that they were thinking about going to Isaac's house to hang out instead, but they were gonna leave it up to us. Uh, bull bologna. We didn't wanna be the ones blamed in case something didn't work out so we left it up to them. So we turned around & headed to Grant. Once we got there, we chilled at Isaac's watching Dumb & Dumber while some of the guys played ball. Then, Aly & Brit decided to fix Isaac, Ben, JK & Dylan's hair. Dylan's looked the best. Just sayin. Soon after, me & Hil headed to her house to stay the night. We sat up for a little bit talking before I pretty much passed out.
When I woke up Saturday morning, I woke up with Hil getting a phone call from Blake. I had put my phone on silent the night before, so he couldn't get ahold of me. He told me that he had hurt his knee realllly bad Friday night playing ball (which I knew he had hurt himself, but I didn't know it was that bad.) & we had to go home. He said he was gonna pick me up at Hil's house in just a little while. Luckily, I hadn't unpacked anything but pajamas from the night before so I quickly got my stuff together & laid back down until he text me telling me he was there. We went to Mickey Dee's for breakfast in Scottsboro & finally got home around 10. We lazed around all day since Blake was hurt & we couldn't go anywhere. That pretty much went on all day. lol We just chilled at the house watching shows & talking. It was actually kind of nice to be at home on a Saturday night.
Sunday morning we had planned on going to Huntsville since we weren't having church due to death...but since Blake still wasn't really up to par (and my cousin didn't tell me she was still going in time for me to get ready) we just hung around here again. We watched 1,000 Ways to Die & Pawn Stars all day until me & Mom got ready to go to church Sunday night. We got to the church (we're finally having church in the basement! It feels so good to be in the actual church building again!) & I actually prayed really well. I wish I could have just gotten it all right & finally made Chelsie proud. But I really feel like this is my year. (Here I go on a tangent..) On New Year's Day, I was riding down the road (with who, I can't remember) & it just hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like someone was whispering in my ear: This is your year. This is the year you're going to finally receive the holyghost. This is the year you're going to find "the one". This is YOUR year! So, I've been trying to have faith. I've never had something like that happen to me before. I really feel like it was the Lord letting me know. I fully expect it to happen..and I know it could have been tonight, but I don't know what happened! Hopefully very soon though, I will get it worked out!
Anyways, after church my little cousin Melisha asked me to come swim at her house with her. So, of course, I agreed. We went over there around 8 & swam until 10:30...we had a blast! She's so sweet...and growing up! She's almost 16 which makes me feel soooo old. I remember looking up at Aunt Lisa's belly when I was 4 & her telling me There's a baby in there! Her name is Melisha! I just stared in wonder. It's so amazing watching children grow up. I mean "my" baby, Hailey, is 11 years old now! I used to babysit her through the summers! Ugh! lol
And to beat all this reminiscing, yet ANOTHER one of my friends is getting married! Broshia Hamilton got engaged tonight! What the mess!? lol Everyone's getting married & I'm just hanging out. I'm really hoping that this revival season will work out everything for me & get my life jump started! I'm sooo ready! haha. (:
