this has been the most amazing weekend ever

well, my birthday has been a most joyous occasion. Friday was sooooo much fun with my bestest friend, Karasyn. We went to Neighborhood (one of our usual haunts hehe ) and Karasyn gave me this lovely book that gives 100 cake recipes with one cake mix. i'm so excited to start. this will give me something to do for a very long time :) then we went to Red Velvet (probably the most popular haunt) and Karasyn bought her first ever vintage dress and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo pretty!!! also, we saw jeremy larson there and it was grand times had by all, except for the cupcakes we devoured :) hehe OH! and i tried bubble tea for the first time. it was strange, but overall pretty good. afterward, we went to karasyn's house and her mom gave me the CUTEST little desk set complete with a memo pad, journal and MATCHING PENS!!!!!!!!!!! Then the fun times ended 'cause I had to go to work. :( but they had a cute little cake for me there!

Saturday we got up really early (for a saturday at least) cause Brandon had solo and ensemble contest, which went really well. then we went to mcdonalds to get breakfast and then we were going to take the boys home and then go to the tea room, but our plans were postponed because at mcdonalds we ran into my dad's long lost cousin and he never shut up! we ended up not being able to eat at the tea room until like noon which was good. then after the tea room we went to the Ozark Goodwill!!!! YAY!!! My favorite :) :) :)
Then we went home and picked up the boys and went to branson. overall a very fun filled day :D

today i am very happy cause i got to go to church this morning and small groups. i love my small group so much. i feel like i have gotten pretty close to a lot of them.

after small groups i went to Aldi's to pick up groceries for my mom and now i am waiting for them to get out of church so we can go out to eat :)

at 3 i have rehearsal for the jeremy larson show and then church at 6 and my party afterward. my family is coming over. i wish my friends could come :( but my mom said the house would be too crowded and both of my grandmothers are loud enough already that we don't need extra people, so we will have to do something another time. oh well :)

i am just really having a great week and i hope everyone else is too.

on another note, please keep Jared, the youth minister at broadway in you prayers. He lost a finger while playing a game at church with the youth. It's going to be a big adjusment for him. Also, Erik, a guy from our small group is leaving tuesday for basic training. I hate to make this into a big prayer concern blog, but also, if you didn't know, Darnell Green (Doriel's brother, i have no clue how to spel either of their names) just found out this week that he has leukemia. These people could really use prayers, a free way to lend your support!

Thanks for reading! :) Have a great Sunday!!!

this is ridiculous and i'm concerned.

this is totally wierd. you obviously care more about her than she does for you and you're blind. completely blind. i think things are going to end, eventually, and i don't want you to be hurt, but i'm afraid that's going to happen. i'm afraid that this is just a bad deal. i mean, you are so different, apparently.

i just really care about the whole family, including you, and i don't want to see you hurt, cause if she does, its not going to be pretty. for her i mean. she is going to have A LOT of explaining to do, and she may not even get it all out before i start to beat her, cause i just don't like where this is headed.

sorry, for being all cryptic and such, but i think a lot of people know who this is about.  and if you do read this, just know that i will always be there for you. always. no matter what. i pray that things don't end up where i suspect they will. :/

today is my birthday :)

i have had so many wonderful birthday wishes!!! :)

i am so thankful for everyone!!! i have had a wonderful day filled with fun and CAKE!!!!!!
here-s one i want to make :)

25.2.11

It's Friday!!!!!

I'm really excited for today :) :) :)

First of all, my Alpha class is cancelled so I get out of class at 11 or more likely 1045...

Second, after I get ot of said classes, I'm having lunch with Karasyn. I'm pretty sure we are going to neighborhood :) I'm pretty darn excited!! Also, we are going to Red Velvet!!!!!!!!! My fave!!!!!

Third, today is the only day this weekend I am working. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day with the family and Sunday I can actually go to church! I'm just really excited for this weekend.

OH! Did I mention that this weekend is my birthday :) :) :) I have been celebrating all week!

Well,  I have to go get ready for those classes. I will be back later with What I'm Thankful For .

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

24.2.11

what i'm thankful for today :)

well, it has been quite an eventful first half of the week. i have had a wierd past week. yesterday i had a pretty wonderful day though. karasyn and i reconciled (i just wanted to use a big word) and then i went to applebee's there was a super cute waiter there :) hehe

today, i got up early and did my lab report, saved it to my flash drive and everything, but i left the flash drive at home. i got all the way to school before realizing this and so i had to go all the way back home, therefore having to wait for lunch.

well, anyway, lab went pretty well today, i guess. tory didn't blow anything up lol. also, i got an email from drury for this neat-o weekend at Mizzou for prospective medical school students. i am so excited!!! its the first weekend in may and you go on a friday night until saturday evening and its just to help prospective students prepare for the application process. it teaches you what they look for in students and what to prepare for with the MCAT and all. i am so stinking excited to go to medical school and scared at the same time. its going to be a thrilling experience. good and bad.

on a different note, i have been watching the doctors and they are talking about weight loss. i really need to lose weight. i need to start excersising and being more active. we did some strength training in fit for life last week and i think i could really do well if i would stick with it. i just need to start. thats the first step. i think i could do it if i had someone to go with, it just seems like thats the last thing anyone wants to do together. also i would like to learn (again) how to ride a bike. i'm pretty sure i don't have one, and last time i tried to get on one i was terrified like i was when i first learned how in like kindergarten. it really would be fun i think, if i could just get on one. i am just a big fat scaredy cat. about everything.

oh well, i guess i will have to do it by myself. :) i CAN do it!!

anyway, down to the reason i wrote this blog. what i'm thankful for today.......

3) I am thankful for:



this lady!!!
<3




even if our lives take us very far apart, i will always be there for you!!!
:) :) :)
thanks for being my bestest friend.

23.2.11

i've studied these chapters a lot lately. they were laid on my heart.

Psalm 38

O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.

My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
My friends and companions aboid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.

I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute who, who cannote open his mouth;
I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
I wait for you, O Lord; you will answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. Many are those who are my vigorous enemies;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.

O Lord, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.


Psalm 139

O Lord, you have serached me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you percieve my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can flee from you presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide meand the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you dreated my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
