2 days till the sale...

Sorry for the long absent. After my vacations, I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. (Yes, they really do that!) Anyway, I have been really busy and it's not slowing down.

The sale has taken a lot of my time, so after two day, I will be back to myself... kinda. I am going on vacation back to Bay City to see my family and friends the following weekend. In fact, my next four weekends are already planned, so... As you can see I am still going to be busy, but I will make time for this blog. Till this weekend ( I hope to see you there.)... so long.

Florida Trip...

This was our group... minus me. We our ready to roll at this point for our 24 hour tour of the United States of America on our way to Florida. While we were driving we did lots of singing, joking, and as much sleep as possible. :)

After our travels, we head for the beach, and basked in its wonderful glory. For the next couple of days we hung out at the beach and did a little shopping. Nothing really worth mentioning. But, Saturday we went to the Everglades. That was awesome. We went with Capt. Dan. Who was really funny.

We also had a little friend with us, only I don't remember his name. So, I will call him Bob.

Isn't he cute.

The only sad thing is we didn't see any alligators on our boat, but the other group did. :(

After that we went to church at Fort Meyers on Sunday, were we got to do our own greetings (very cool) and lead the afternoon service (well Alexis did). After church, we went to a nursing home to sing. It was such a blessing to do this. They were happy to see us and we even got song to by a very sweet gentleman.

For the next couple of days, we hung out at our pool and beaches before we left. On our last night we sang on the beach and watched the sun go down. It was so beautiful. I didn't want to leave that night.




But that is the end of our trip, it may not have been full of adventure, but it was a trip of a lifetime with the best of friends.

I am so happy...

I am a maid of honor... Yeah. My best friend has chosen me to be her maid of honor. I am truly honored to have such a position in her wedding.

We have been friends for over 10 years (I can't believe its been that long.), and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She stayed with me, when all my friends forsaken me for joining Christ. For that I am forever thankful.

But onto the wedding... I have so many ideas running through my head for her bachelorette party... Don't worry it's nothing bad. But, I have been waiting for this for a very long time, and I can't wait. I have about one year to plan and, to help her of course, so here we go.

6 More Days Till Freedom...(for a little while)

In less than a week, I will be on my way to Florida. I can't wait. I have had so much go on in the past three days that I need a vacation, well I think I need a vacation.

Yesterday, My brother saved a woman (and possibly her trailer) from a fire. He, unfortunately, inhaled a lot of smoke, and my family has to keep watch over him for the next two days...

Then my best friend told me she is engaged, and I am really happy for her. Congratulations!!!

The day before that I was just having a really bad day (missing home, issues that you never thought were an issue, etc) , but luckly I had a friend to talk to. I thank that person very much.

Monday, I came home(Michigan home) from an awesome shopping experience. (Julie, you would be so proud. I got THREE pairs of shoes, four skirts, five shirts, and almost all my outfits are interchangable.) But, when I came home I had a flat tire (second one in a month). This flat tire took three hours to fix, and the tire company. But, I can't complain, they fixed it for free.

I have had more go on, but I have complained enough. I did learn something really cool yesterday. As most of you know, I love board games (my collection of "35" Monopoly games). I learned how to play Settler's of Catan (bad at spelling). I really like this game. I played it for 2 1/2 hours, and I am ready to play again. I could write more, but I need to get ready for work.

So, I hope your week is going good.

Why do you teeth hurt so much...

I can't say anything profound today... because I am still feeling the affects of my pain killers. Yesterday, I had gotten back from weekly shopping, and I felt like I got punched in the jaw. (Last week, I had a temp. crown put in and they tried to fix my other tooth that is having issues. Well, neither one is really fixed, but if you know me... this is my luck.)

I have been in pain for almost 24 hours straight. This is great. The best part is now that I am on pain killers, I have a massive headache and can't take anything for it. You would think that my pain killers would make me feel better and PAIN FREE. NOPE! But, I shouldn't complain about my teeth, they don't hurt anymore, they are just sore from the pain. I go in on Monday, to get everything fixed again, so I should be fine after this LOVELY event.

Well, I am done complaining. I go to Florida in two weeks and I am thrilled. (Pray that my teeth feel better, I want to enjoy Florida. :))

I'm going on vacation...part 2

I might have a new destination... FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Really want to go to this one. Not that I would not like the other ones, but come on FLORIDA... We don't even have to pay for a hotel rooms, because we will have someone's condo on an Island... Even better. As soon as I have confirmed location, (which will be FLORIDA) I will tell you all.

Why?

Last night I ate at a Chinese restaurant with my work, and I said I wanted to try crayfish, and oysters. Bad Idea!!!! So, one of my dear girls brought me those WONDERFUL items. I couldn't let this down, and say no thanks. (I think it was my pride that wouldn't let it go...Stupid Pride and Prejudice. I have to stop watching that movie.) Instead I swallowed my gut instinct and tried both of them. The crayfish was fine, but the oyster had sour cream on it. (Which I absolutely hate, and apparently this restaurant thought is was a good idea to make the oyster like a bake potato. EWWWW!!! ) So... Unfortunately, now I have a horrible stomach ache. :(

So here is my question: Why do we do stupid things in front of people? Is it really pride?
