fun fun fun sore sore sore

We had an AMAZING time this weeked. (It was actually Sun. thru Teus. but we declared it a weekend cuz it was the right length for one.) Anyways. So God did some really good stuff. We got very little sleep and swam ALOT!! I think most everybody got burnt and only two people got sick. AND I WASN"T ONE OF THEN WOOOHOOOO!!! Oh i went tubing AND DIDN"T FALL OFF!! (Thanks Mr. TV) Although, i only went once and that was enough for me. We had the boat Teus. and it was lots of fun, but i'm glad we didn't have it the rest of the time cuz we were able to spend some time together that we wouldn't of been able to if it had of been there. Even Aunt Vicki got on the tube. It was great. Anyways. I will let other people tell stories of all the Godly stuff that happened to them but i will say that it was really really really good to see what was going on with other people/ waht God was doing with other people. It was great. Anyways guess that's all.
love all

the reason for the title is because we had lots and lots and lots of fun but i am sore, burnt, and tired. Of course if we had lots of fun that stuff really doesn't matter much. Anyways. Cuz, if you hadn't got the hint yet, we did have lots and lots and lots of fun. hehe Oh i also forgot that they got out the knee board when Erich got there and i think most everybody did that. Except for a few smart ones. Like we and some others. I think that's all now.
love all again.

leaving (not on a jet plane; in a car)

So we are leaving today after church to go to the wonderful place called the shack. I know I know. To those of you who haven't been there your like "the shack how can that be so wonderful? It doesn't sound to great." WELL to tell ya the truth never really understood where "shack" came from. It's basically a trailer with two bedrooms (with ac) and then a really BIG screened in porch with a few beds a few chairs and the floor. (And the tables if you adventurous; Mr. Tyler, yeah i remember you sleeping on the table hehehe) Anyways. The major thing is that it's at the lake. Swim all day worship. Learn. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!
Anyways i can't believe that i'm writing this right now but i really wanted to write something before i left and i didn't have time to yesterday, Anyways love all will definietly have stories when i get back and i will post them.
love all

Yeah ummmm

I should really aplogize for the previous blog. I was kinda hoping that it didn't post it but oh well. I was kinda in a bad mood/ being attacked pretty bad and it all kinda hit me at once. Anyways. So any who haven't heard before you hear something alot worse than it actually was. I had a wreck yesterday. (Adding to my bad day/ attacking). I was really nervous cuz i've never been in a wreck before. So what happened? Well i rearended somebody. They had stopped for a construction thing and apparently i wasn't paying attention because i thought they had finished and i didn't see any signs or anything. So i looked back at the road and saw brake lights. So i put on my brakes really really heard and slid into him. The even worse part is that it wasn't my car because you see my truck doesn't have a transmittion in it so it's not running. So now i have officially screwed up all vehicles that i would have been able to take to Missouri. So right now i'm praying for a miracle. It didn't mess the blazer up to bad. It pushed the bumper up into the air conditioner that wasn't working anyway. So that wasn't so bad BUT IT'S NOT MY VEHICLE!!! That's the worst part. Anyways. that's all.

COMMENTS!!!

So now i'm just kinda gonna have a pity party complaining fussing session. Did you know that there is a COMMENTS section? Ya know what it's for? COMMENTS!! If you will look at my comments on my blogs you will see VERY few. So could ya do me a flavor and COMMENT?! Please. Now i know that your gonna be like well now i HAVE to comment. cuz now i've guilted you into it. then you'll think that i'm thinking that your just doing it cuz i said for ya to. well whatever. i'm done for today.

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

So i know i said before that i was official done with sociology, but now i am OFFICIALLY OFFICIALLY done. I got my grade the other day and i made a 88. Not to bad if i do say so myself. I'm almost done with English to. I have two more tests (actually only like one cuz i'm almost done with the other one) and ALOT of writing to do.
Anyways so i hope everybody's doing good. So i guess everything's going good here. I don't know if i'm going to get that promotion or not. We'll see. If not then oh well i guess, although i would kinda like to get it even though i will only be there for a little while before i leave (hopefully). Oh update on that is that i haven't heard anything. I going to write another letter to them if i haven't heard anything by the end of the week to see if they've gotten it or not.
Anyways. We're going to the shack next week to so ya'll be praying for us. So i guess that's all. Not really in a mood for writing. Oh well...
Nothing's really great right now except for the fact that we are going next week. Yesterday at work it seemed that it was the day for people that weren't having such a good day to come through my line cuz i had several people that weren't in such a great mood. It was busier than it has been recently though so that was good.
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Oh if i haven't Marti(y) is officially moved. :( (i did it like that cuz i never remember what it is) Anyways. So i guess that's it. nuthin more to say on here

To Move Or Not to Move? THAT is the qurstion.

The story.
So Dylan has pretty much been wining all afternoon. That's it. I pick him up he wines i put him down he wines more. I do nothing and he screams. SOOOO. What do you do? Welllll. I took him and put him in the high chair and gave him something to eat (cherios and crackers) and he's satisfied. So i pull the high chair in the living room so we could watch a movie. (Dreamer, one of the best movies EVER!!!) So i'm just sitting there eating my popcorn and watching the movie and look over and this is what i find...






It was soooo funny i just had to put it on here. Anyways. That's all i have time for.
Love ya'll all.

Our Trip!!!! (a little late) March 18-20

OK. So these are the first pics of our trip. For those of you who saw the other ones first so sorry. It took me a few days to actually be able to them on here. These are the pictures of when we are leaving and stuff. Sorry i couldn't get more pics. I didn't think about putting the pics that were already on the camera on a disc so we ran out of space on the camera. That was ok though cuz then we would only take pics that we really wanted. Then the battery ended up dieing. Anyways. Hope you enjoy even though they are a little late.




OK. So this is the very first pic. Me and Morgan in the back seat of the truck in the driveway at the Verdery's house.



On the road again. Actually not really cuz we're just leaving the Verdery's. HERE WE GO!!!


These two pics are when we are at the gas station in Thompson. Summer decided that she wanted to wash the windsheild so me and Morgan decided to take advantage of the moment and take pics to document.


As you can see Summer is doing it a little weird. Instead of going across like most people do she is starting at the top and going down. It was so funny.



I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!!! Summer took this one right after we were leaving the gas station in Thompson. We were pulling out and Morgan said that she wanted to read something. She said that it was the prayer at the end of the Captivating book. If you haven't read this book or this prayer you really should. I'll put some of it on here after i finish this. Anyways. So she started reading this prayer and this picture just captures some of Morgan's passion as she reads it. I think we were probably all in tears by the time she finished reading. It was great.


Here's that prayer (Or part of it cuz it's really long):

A little background first. So this book is called "Captivating Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul". It's by Stacy and John Elderidge. He's written many different books like "The Sacred Romance" and several others. If you don't have or haven't read this book you really really should. You can get it and the guidbook thingy at The Christian Bookstore or you can go to their website. I'm not exactly sure what the address of that is though. Anyways. So here goes:

It's called "A Daily Prayer For Freedom"

"My dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you- to renew my place in you, my allegiance to you, and to receive from you all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honor you as my sovereign Lord, and I surrender every aspect of my life totally and completely to you. I give you my body as a living sacrifice; I give my heart, soul, mind, abd strength; and i give you my spirit as well. I cover myself with your blood- my spirit, my soul, and my body. And i ask your Holy Spirit to restore my union with you, seal me in you, and guide me in this time of prayer."

This is just the first paragraph of this prayer. It's like three and a half pages long, but it's a great prayer. I also want to reiterate that i DID NOT write this. This is by Stacy and John Elderidge. I don not want to take create for something that God did through them. Again you really really should get this book!!!!

love to everybody

Our trip March 18-20 (cont.)

So these two are both pics of our campsite. I put both of them on here because on one you can see the campsite more and on the other you can see the WONDERFUL view that we had. It was great to wake up and see that.


I bet your wondering why in the world we took a pic of our hair. Well here's the story to this one. Both me and Mrs. Rita had gotten our hair cut right? So mine was to short to put up in a ponytail. Soooo. Being the smart person that i am i decided that the next best thing would be PIGTAILS. So that's what i did. Then Mrs. Rita did it to. It was funny.



This was just one of those posing pics i guess. It looks really good to. Don't you agree?



Ok. So these two are Summer and Morgan (as you can see) standing in front of the camper after we got it set up JUST US FOUR!!!!! It was great.
I have one to of me standing in front of it, but the funny thing about when you edit pics is that if you don't save it under something else then it will erase your original pic. That said. I took my pic that i had i front of the camper and cropped it to fit into my profile pic and i didn't save it right. SOOO i don't have one to put on here. OH WELL.



This is one that i cropped down to. I like this one alot. It looks really good. Even though my glasses are crooked. Of course i will probably be the only one that would notice that to until now that i have pointed it out.



This is a really good one to. I think this may of just been a moment.


Remeber our pigtails? Well Morgan decided she would do us up one and put her hair in pigtails and BRAID. Sorry my hair's NOT LONG EHOUGH. Huh imagine that. Just kidding. We were just having lots of fun.

Our trip!! March 18-20(cont.)

OK. So i know i'm doing this a little backwards and everything, but i was uploading pics while i was doing school and now i'm finished with school and need to go help mama soooooo. I will finish and edit this tomorrow.



I love this pic. This is the boardwalk we were walking down to go out to a place that we could see the swamp pretty good at. It's like a pathway to heaven or something. I just love it.


This one was a really good pic to. These turtles were just sitting on this log. The were all evenly spaced out and everything it was great.


So this pic is when me and Summer were just laying on the place at the end of the boardwalk. It was kinda like a deck except that you didn't have railings or anything. There was just trees and stuff and swamp all aroung. The trees were so close i'm sure if David had of been there he would have jumped out there and started climbing one. Of course he really wouldn't of had to jump cuz the were right there.


This one's funny. Me and Summer were laying on this thing right and we just decided to take a pic of our feet so we did. He look we're walking on the sky. WOOHOO!!!


This one's funny to. We were just taking pics and decided to make a funny face. Summer's looks better than mine but whatever. We were just messing around.

This started because Mrs. Rita was laying down and the Morgan laid her head on Mrs. Rita's stomach. Mrs. Rita started laughing which made Morgan start laughing because her head was bouncing. So then me and Summer just decided to go over and lay down with them. Well we were laying there and somebody said something about if somebody came up or something. Well some people came up. So we got a little boy (probably 11 or 12) to take a pic of us. It was so funny.


This was the first of two alligators that we saw. This one was just swimming around up where the boats and stuff were and the other one was just floating in the water when we were canoeing. He was floating because he was dead. IMAGINE THAT!!!


This is a pic that i took the first night i think. Summer's playing in the fire. Later this night or maybe the next night Morgan had a brilliant idea. (hehe yeah you know where i'm going with this one don't you Morgan.) Anyways. So she had here feet on the side (the metal part) of the fire. She had on her fake Burkenstocks (sp). We started smelling something and Morgan realized that it was melting her shoes. Well instead of taking them off of the thing SHE PUT THEM BACK!!!!! So they kept melting. Then if that wasn't bad enough. She started touching one of the logs that had been on fire earlier. (It had died down ALOT. It was pretty much just embers.) This lead them melting even more. The next morning we looked at them and they looked kinda funny. I think she still had those shoes to. Don't you Morgan?


This was the same night. Summer was still playing in the fire. Morgan was cold. It WAS pretty cold. Especially when we went canoeing!!!


This was after we got back from canoeing i beleive. Summer and Morgan were both really tired so they took a nap and me and Mrs. Rita sat at the fire.





This was the end of our trip. Like i said i know it's a little late. I just got the chance to put these up though. Better late than never. Anyways we had lots of fun and didn't get lost canoeing and the only really funny story I have to tell about that wasn't even our fault. So here goes...
So there were these boy scouts that came up to the place where we were eating. They had been out of their canoes for a while and everything. (We were sitting on a dock eating.) Anyways. So we saw this raccoon swimming in the water near some trees. He got out of the water and went over to the boy's canoes. Apparently he didn't like the looks of ours or something. So he went over and got in the boat. AND THEY WERE JUST STANDING THERE. Taking pics and stuff. So the raccoom decided that he like something of their's and so he took off with it. I think they got it back though.

cont. from prev.

And here we go. This is on the way to Myrtle. I drove most of the way there, the only place i didn't drive in was Columbia. Other than that me and daddy were driving. Then on the way back Alicia drove most of the way cuz i was sick. My ears were hurting really really badly and i was super tired.



The guard of the citadel! Or the napping crew? hmmmm



So this is me and Dylan looking at the water.




Daddy and Alicia dug holes and made tunnels for the water to come up and go through.



We had Dylan's portable playpen thing with us, but he really didn't like sleeping in itbecause it was cold and he wasn't used to it so Alicia would put him in the bed with her. One night he got on the edge of her bed and started banging his head on the floor because he couldn't get his breathe. See he was actually sick before we went to the beach then when we got ther he ended up getting worse. So anyways he had a red mark on his head the next day. It was kinda funny, but kinda sad.



This was when we went to the indoor pool. He liked this water alot cuz it wasn't cold. It was actually quite warm in the pool and in the place where it was.











We actually saw some dolphins to. They were close to the shore so we could see them better. Usually i don't get to see them cuz the are really far away and i don't have my glasses on. This time they were close and i had my glasses on. We also walked a long ways down the beach to the pier to get ice cream. It had to of been like 3 or 4 miles one way. When we went out on the pier we saw a huge sting ray. Then somebody up there caught a baby one. It was great. Even though we got kinda tired we had lots of fun.

Pics of the Beach

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. Or maybe TV buddies? Not really sure. Oh and this was before we left.


Ok. So this is my dog Buddy sleeping on Dylan's pillow thingy. (I forget what you call it.)Isn't he so cute?



And this one is Dylan in his highchair thing that can hook on the side of the picnic table. This is when we were at the beach. I think it was the first night.


So this was Dylan's first time at the beach. His mommy was showing him the water. He kinda cried when she put him in it though cuz it was so cold.


This was one night when we were there and were going to go somewhere and Dylan was ready to go in his cute little had and tank top onesy thingy. He was super cute.




So. My computer decided that it liked the idea of uploading some of my pics tonight. So here they are. Some may have noticed that these are of the beach. Well i tried to upload these and more before but my computer didn't like that idea. So i did now. Anyways so these are mostly from our vacation trip. However, this is nowhere near all of them, but this is all my computer wanted me to upload right now. So i will try to upload more later.
muchas love to all
