The Best Weekend Ever

I had the absolute most amazing weekend possible for a Christian 21 year old girl. That's right, no one else's weekend could have even compared to mine. It started with me, Audj (my Best friend for life, literaly), and Casey all going to State Fine Arts to watch my youth group compete. When they did there large group spoken drama it was so awesome. And it by the way one first place in the state. The kids in our youth group are just so awesome. I love them all so much. They get along (well better than you would expect 40 teenagers to) so well. They make sure they support everyone and they are so happy for a proud of each other. I remember thinking Friday night and all day Saturday as they were coming off the stage "yeah those are my kids, they go to my church". And "You just wish you had kids that great". They really do rock. Saturday was like the longest day ever. I got up and me and Haley (she spent the night with me Friday night) started over to Kingwood. We got some Chick-fil-a for breakfast and got to fine arts at like 8:45. Fine Arts lasts all day so we broke for lunch at like 12:00. Me, Boomer, and Wes all went to Del Toro to eat lunch. That was totally weird, just me and the two guys. We talked about church stuff and the things we wanted to do coming up. It's so cool to hear someone talk about their future and say "well whatever God wants me to do". It's awsome to feel like there's someone else out there that might know where you're coming from and feel the same way you do about things. Especially when the rest of the world is trying to talk you out of everything you've worked so hard to restore in your life. It's nice to know that I have friends that understand the God Stuff. Ok so right before Fine Arts was over and they announced the scores and who won, there was a comedian that is a friend of Aunt Marcia and Uncle Tim that got up to speak and dude he was so funny. He is living proof that you don't have to cuss or be vulger to have a great time and really be funny. He is so amazing. His wife really rocks too. Ok so Saturday night came and went and we won a lot of the catagories. We left there about 8:00 Saturday night. I had a message from CourtNicole that she had gotten a new car, so of course I had to go and see it. And you know we had to drive over to 280 to show Leigh Ann (Courtney's best friend and like my other little sister). So we went riding and got something to eat and went to Wally World (Wal-Mart) and then decided to head home. I got home about 11:45 and then went to bed about 2:00. I had to get up at 6:00 to go to Six Flags with Barry the next Morning. I left my house about 9:00 (I was supposed to leave at 8:00). Barry is the most patient guy ever. Or maybe just when it comes to me. But he wasn't mad that I was running late, because it really wasn't my fault that I had a flat tire. Anyways we met in Gadsden and went to Atlanta from there. We had such a great time. Six Flags was so empty. I think the longest that we waited to get on a ride was like 30 mins and that was the super man. But I'm not sure what was more fun, going to Six Flags or spending the day with Barry. It was just the 2 of us all day. With an exception to my phone ringing off the hook. But we had a great time. We headed home about 7:00 and then sat and talked until about 11:45. It was so great. I got home late, and everyone was in bed, so I went on to bed. But there you have it. The best weekend possible for a 21 year old, Christian girl. I know, I know, I'm a cheese ball but you know I don't really care anymore. It's really all about things that make me happy, not what the rest of the world thinks should make me happy. Anyways, gotta go. I'm supposed to me working. ~Byah

Just like every other day.

I feel so bad. I feel asleep while talking to Barry last night. I so didn't feel good. Anyways, today has been so boring other than the fact that my puppy is here and she is keeping me on my toes since she's not potty trained yet. She's clawing at my leg right now because I won't pick her up. lol. anyways just thought that I'd blog for a minute. Guess I'll write later. Gotta go and get ready for youth. byah

My Birthday

Today is my 21st Birthday. And it has been so great already, and it's only 11:00. Other than the fact that I'm at work, on Saturday. My two best friends, Audj and Court, took me out last night and we ate at my favorite restruant, Moes, and went to see the movie of my choice, Guess Who, it was so funny. And then of course we ended the night by going to Wal Mart. What else would 3 girls do on Friday night in Birmingham. lol. Anyways, Jeremy called to tell me happy birthday, and Barry called me last night right at midnight to tell me happy birthday. I got flowers yesterday for my birthday while I was at work. My Aunt Marcia, Uncle Tim, Haley and Scotty called me this morning and sang to me happy birthday. Courtney called me this morning and sang to me. And Audrey spent the night with me last night so as I was getting ready for work this morning she rolled over and said happy birthday. She bought me the coolest little pet taxi for my new puppy. She's too little for it right now but she'll grow into it. And she bought me a really cute pink purse last night. My puppy is so cute. Her name is Rockett. She was seven weeks old yesterday. Anyways so I'm sitting at work doing nothing. But hey, nothing is cooler than getting paid to do nothing. I'm Going to Joe's Crab Shack tonight with my friends to eat. Then we're having girl night at Leigh Ann's appartment. I guess I need to go. Not much else to say.

Four Days until my B'day.

Wow, I turn 21 on Saturday. I'm so excited. Anyways, so this weekend was really great. I got to see my friends from Arizona. Any they brought one of the girls from their youth group and she is so sweet. Her name is Sarah and she rocks. I also got to play with Jenn and Jason's kids, Jake, Jodi, and Jada. They are so cute. I had so much fun with them. There's a chance that they might move back out here and I really hope that they do. But of course first and formost I want them to stay in the will of God.

Ok so in studio news, costumes are coming in, and they are so cute. I got a new facility for the recital that has a real stage, and curtins and lights and everything. I'm so exited. And it's less than half the cost of the other place that I was going to use. Recital is going to be great this year.

Stephen is getting to come home from Spain soon. He emailed me yesterday to tell me. I'm going to six flags on Sunday the 24th of April with Barry. He's so great. I'm so excited I get to spend the whole day with him. I love six flags. It's like the happiest place on earth. Well in my world anyways. I'm going on a cruise in September, with a girl named Crystal. It's going to be great. It's the singles, yes singles, cruise with Justin and Carrie from WDJC.

Church on Sunday was really great. But I can't wait until youth on Wednesday night. Anyways, I think that's about it. There's not really anything else to say. I've said it all. I'll write later. byah

What up!,

Ok so where to start. Well I think a great place to start is to say that I love God with all of my heart and have just realized that I am exactly where I need to be and where God wants me to be. Knowing you're in his will is an awesome feeling.

The studio is doing so well, and I'm so glad because it's about time. You know I prayed that if it were Gods will that doors would be open. And doors were open and things just kinda fell in my lap and into place. But when things got a little rough I started doubted. Who wouldn't when you're afraid your name is going to be destroyed along with your business. Then, a really awesome lady, the one that cuts my hair, told me one day that I had to pray specifically for what I needed. So I started praying for 10 new students or 3ooo dollars. But I didn't get 10 new students, I got 14. So not only does my God supply, he will give me more than my needs.

My uncle preached on being divided the other night. And it's really kinda funny that he did. Because the next day I faced challanges that had to do a lot with the sermon. Unce Tim was talking about not having more "good than evil" in your life but not having evil at all, because it will only help to distroy you. Because a house divided can not stand. Well that was Wednesday night. And my ex boyfriend called on Thursday. He started the conversation with "I think we could be friends. I really miss you and I care about you." And it was at that point that I realized what was happening. And that God didn't want me to have any part of my "old life", not even being friends with it. God is amazing in his timing, and is never wrong.

Lets see.......what else is going on. I've just realized that God has replaced that relationship that I thought was so great, with really amazing and awesome friends. The dance studio is getting ready for it's first ever recital and I'm so excited. I'm "talking to" and building an awesome friendship (maybe more some day) with a really awesome guy. I'm learning that just because my ministry isn't in the church doesn't mean that I'm not reaching kids and following God's voice. My youth group is totally awesome. My church is totally awesome. My best friend is going to have a baby. Which in basically means I'm going to be an Aunt. I'm so siked. I love you nemo. If I missed anyone I'm sure you'll let me know. I love you guys. Check you soon. byah
