Update on Me

Sorry it's been so long so i blogged. I've been really busy to say the least. I am working two jobs and now i'm also moving. Many probably don't know what has happened in the last few weeks so allow me to fill you in. Sept. 28th we put my grandma (Ema, my daddy's mama) in the hospital. We put here on the ventilater just to help her to calm down. She couldn't get her breath and so she was panicing which was making it that much worse. Anyways so she holds on all week and the Oct. 5th at like twenty til five she died. We all sort of said she did that so that it wouldn't inconvenience that many people to have here funeral on Sun. so that's what we did. this past mon. (that would be yesterday) mr. tom and mrs. laurie and their kids left and moved back to Texas. me and daddy are moving in to fix it so that they can sell it. i guess that's about all right now.

A Poll (Pole?)

anyways... so we have this idea and i wanted to know if anybody would go for it or not... so read the WHOLE!!!!! post and then comment PLEASE!!!

ok so here is the idea....

if there was a farm that you could go to for a few days or whatever would you go? this farm would also allow day passes. there would be different activities to do while you are there. there would be things like riding horses, feeding different animals like pigs, goats, cows, sheep, rabbits etc. you would be able to pet the animals and see people milk the cows. there would be three meals a day, but you would have to be there on time to eat. there would be a garden that you could go and look at. and different things like that. if you think this is a good idea please let me know. and if you don't think that it's a good idea still let me know. constructive critism is good.


thanks all

Posting Just Because

so this i pretty much just a post just because i wanted to post something. i actually just realized that i need to change the title of my blog. (random thought) anyways so everything is going good. went up to Helen yesterday to see some family with some family. and to check out where my cousins were living last year. life really hasn't been to exciting except for maybe stuff that i won't put on here. just sort of going along. i haven't really gotten a job yet. bilo is dragging their feet. i do have a job at the methodist church sorta though. i'm keeping kids two days a week. the catch is that i'm a substitute so i only go in at certain times, which means that i could go a whole week without working. we are trying to figure something out for us to do. something will come along. meanwhile i am praying and trying to get closer to god while trying not to go insane. anyways. there's more stuff going on that i won't put on here now, but i'm sure they will come out at some point. anyways love all lots....

just a new post i guess..... (sort of ranting)

i wonder if anybody has ever sat down i really figured out all of the different types of friends..... or thought about how lucky some people really are in their friendships....

let's see....
you have your acquaintances, which are just people that you are friendly to and talk to, like some coworkers or people like that....

you have your convenince friends..... these are friends that are there went it is convenient for them (the kind that i tend to attract most of the time)

then you have those people who are really really lucky who have friends that they have grown up with... they have been friends their whole lives.... they may not be very close, but they are friends


then you have the lucky ones.... (how many people actually have these friends i don't know, but i'm apparently not one of them) the lucky people are those who have a friend of their own age that will be there whenever they need them... they can tell this person anything and this person can tell them anything.... people may even say that these people could be joined at the hip or something... these are people who won't leave each other hanging and no matter what won't stab the other one in the back...


you know friends are supposed to bring you happiness and joy, sometimes it will be pain and sorrow, but your supposed to be happy.... you see, the problem with being convenient friends is that one person can want a relationship and try their hardest and work their tales off, but that won't work. when you are convenienced it hurts and it hurts bad....


i'm sorry..... then again i'm really not sorry for people who read this that get offended, hurt, mad or anything else.... this is what i am dealing with right now.... i may end up getting nailed for putting this on here for all the world to see, but at least now people will know.... so if you have people that are just your "convenient" friends it might be a good thing for you to sort of do something about that because you might not realize that you are hurting them pretty bad....


if you read this whole post then thanks and hopefully your not to depressed or anything when you get done.....

Is there an answer????

all of our lives people are always asking why. why is the sky blue and the grass green? why does the wind blew? as we get older our questions become harder and harder to answer. they go from why is the sky blue and the grass green to why do people get hurt? why do some have to work their tale end off for everything they get and then they still don't quite have enough? why are some people able to plan out their lives while others are left wondering where they went wrong or where they're supposed to go? why do some people go to college others get married while still others are left in their dust with their head spinning trying to get their feet back in the right direction?

all my life i have asked some of these same questions...... the thing is i don't know how many i have actually gotten the anwsers to..... it seems as though the why questions i have the more questions i have that go unanswered. i guess the biggest why question of all for at least is why am i here?
i guess that's all i got

Blogging.... or lack there of

so i just wanted to let everyone know that i probably won't be blogging on here much for a while.... it seems as though nobody else has been blogging either so oh well.... i figure until i can get my life settled down some i don't need to be on here.... something people say all the time... if ya can't say something nice don't say anything at all... right now i don't think it would really help anybody for me to post on here so i think i will just take a break....

update

ok... so this is what's going on.... i have 2 days left in the internship..... then i'm going to drive back to georgia and get stuff squared away there.... then i'm going to come back up here in 2 weeks.... the problem with that right now is that i have no place to live and the people that i was looking with both found a place but i can't afford to have a place by myself and i don't know of anybody else that's looking for a place.... most everybody has already found a place... oh and i don't have a job yet either.... i applied at 2 different places and neither one has called me back.... so that's about it in a nutshell..... oh yeah and i'm really extremely stressed out, had a panic attack last night and everything and i think i might be going crazy (lol) anyways that's all....

love all

less than a week

so we have less than a week left and i still have no place to live.... i went job hunting today and i think that i might have one.... oh i just realized i have to go... love all...allison

what's going on....

so as most of you know the internship is almost over. we have less than 2 weeks left before i have to figure out what i'm going to do.... soooooo, now here comes the big moment when i let the cat out of the bag...... after much thought and prayer i have decided to move up here for now.... i'm going to be working part time and i think i might join staff part time, but i'm not quite so sure on that part.... to be totally and completely honest i am really really stressed out about the whole thing.... we went apartment hunting today and it didn't go very well... apartments are so expensive.... so now i'm looking into possibly renting from someone who owns a house.... what happens in people here at IHOP buy houses and then rent out rooms to people, so i think that's what i'm going to be doing..... i would really like to get an apartment somewhere, but that really isn't going to work out with what i need... i really sort of think that i am loosing my mind, honestly, because this is just so extremely overwhelming and i don't really know what i'm doing and it's just really really hard, especially with everything that i have been going through in the past however long it's been...... so i'm really really really needing your prayer and support right now because i am really extremely stressed out..... i'm trying to do what everybody else wants me to do and trying to please everybody else and i'm going insane trying to do that and keep everybody everywhere updated and all that i don't know what i'm doing

much better

so i don't know how many people have been praying for me or whatever but i just wanted to let everybody know that i am doing much better.... i can't explain what happened all i know is that i no longer have the heaviness that i had and i'm just doing alot better... still not 100% about everything but it's ok.... thanks for the prayer...

anyways i guess that's all.... oh and summer if you read this you have really been on my heart lately and i hope that everything is going ok.... i'm praying for you!!!!
love ya
allison

Update

so i just wanted to let everybody know once again what's going on.... i must be honest, i'm not doing very good right now..... alot of stuff is going on that i really don't want to put on here because i don't know who all reads this.... anyways some of the things that are going on are...

a guy left.... long story.... and so we got a new guy yesterday.... something else i really don't want to get into on here... and we only have 5 weeks left and i don't know what i'm doing after this.... my life right now is just not going very well.... i mean besides the obvious of being here and all that good stuff.... i'm just really having a hard time recently.... this post is sort of depressing to... sorry about that it's just sort of the mood that i'm in right now.... everything just really seems to be going down hill.... i'm hopeing there's going to be an up hill sometime soon cuz this just really isn't that much fun....
this is the end of my sort of depressing post....
if anybody wants me to go into the stories just email me, but i don't want to do it on here....
love all
allison

Update....

so i just wanted to let everybody know what's going on... things are going better for my fanily, but we still need your prayers because there's still alot going on.... thank you so much for your prayers... they've really really helped... i'm still not sure what i'm doing after this track, which is kind of frustrating because we only have like 5 weeks left... as of right now i have three options... i can move up here and get a job and just not be on staff but still come in at night and everything... (or i could be on staff) i could move to orlando.... a girl (intern) is starting a nightwatch at the house of prayer there and i could go and help her with that.... or i could move to atlanta.... if i move there i will get a nanny position somewhere and do ihop there.... the thing is it would actually be easier for me to move to atlanta because then i would be closer to my family and i would be able to get my stuff from the house.... if i moved up here it would be a little bit more difficult in that area but this is what i know..... so that would be easier.... because i know more ihop people up here..... anyways so i have to go but if ya'll could be praying for me about that it would be very very helpful.... anyways love all

What to do What to do???

so i have started trying to figure out what i'm going to do after this track..... as of right now i have registered on gonannies.com trying to find a job as a nanny in atlanta...... also, i'm looking for an apartment or something in atlanta.... somewhere to live.... i told daddy yesterday that really don't want to move to atlanta or kc or orlando (i could move there and help a girl with the nightwatch there) but i don't know what else to do... i can't just keep doing what i'm doing now (just sort of killing time until something happens) because i really need to figure out what i'm going to do.... especially seeing as we really don't have much longer before we're done here..... anyways please be praying that i will figure something out... love all

adventures in KC

so we have snow again..... i didn't even know it was supposed to snow... now i do.... so here's what happened... it rained all day yesterday... i didn't feel good already so that was interesting... we ate at like 730 and me and one of my roomates went to walmart at like 830.... when we left.... it was raining and there was a little bit of sleet... not much to really worry about... so i thought.... i was wrong though... so we are in walmart getting what we needed and everything and we were fixing to leave and this guy that works there looked at our buggy and he was like... you need to get more than that.... you've got to go out in the snow anyways.... i look at him and i'm like... it's snowing? he's like yeah... so we go pay for our stuff walk outside and it is coming down pretty bad... i mean it looked pretty and everything, but i had to drive my truck back to IHOP in it.... i was a little less than happy about it... i was actually really really mad..... so we load up the truck and everything and we're driving down the road..... there's a car behind us a little ways..... so what happens???
well the truck started going over in the other lane and so i go to pull it back... well apparently that was the wrong thing to do because we spin around (now remember my roommate is in the car to) so we spin around and slam into the curb..... i just knew we were going to flip, but only by God's grace we didn't..... where we were there was one of those drain things... but i think the only thing that hit was the front tire..... i think everything is ok though..... anyways i have to go or i would tell you more....

YAY!!!!

ok so it turns out that my family has worked it out to where Buddy is going to be ok staying at home.... THANK GOODNESS!!!!! i'm really really excited about that...... anyways so we had the signs and wonders conference this weekend.... it was really good but really really tiring.... i was sick with some kind of cold or something the whole time that seems like it's getting even worse now instead of better.... for most people it might have been a little tiring but for those on the nightwatch where you stay up all night and sleep during to day it's even worse..... you see where normally you are able to get up at like 2 or 3 or whatever i had to start getting up and like 12...... that would probably be the equivalent of normal people going to be at like 11 and getting up at like 4.... it was really bad.... you could tell in the sessions who was nightwatch because we were all asleep.... it didn't matter how hard we tried there was just no getting around it.... i mean i had to stand on the lines last night and i was falling asleep standing up i was so exausted..... anyways.... i got to see people from back home and that was really really good.... so i guess that's all
love all and i want to see people at the conference in March to....

a little bit more about the dog situation

i also wanted to let everybody know that he also has a kennel that he sleeps in at night. he also stays in it when we leave the house... right now he's having to stay in it alot because there's nobody there during the day.... oh and i wanted to say he's pretty good with kids.... he loves dylan to death even though he can be a little bit hyper.... sometimes he does go a little overboard, but usually he is great.... Dylan tends to sort of instigate alot of the stuff... oh yeah... he kind of likes to chew on toys though.... of course now it has gotten to the point where Dylan is feeding his toys to Buddy.... anyways.... like i said i would like to have it figured out by the end of this week..... he really needs somewhere to go.....
thank you all
i know this is asking alot and i really really appreciate your patience....
love ya

a really weird question????

ok so this is a little weird asking this but i'm going to ask anyways.... so in light of everything that's going on right now with my family and everything i have to figure out what to do with my dog..... this is where the weird question comes in....

ok so let me tell everybody about him first....
so his name is buddy and he's a boston terrier, if you know boston terriers they are really hiper... and buddy is no exception.... he tends to get really excited and go crazy like he jumps on the furniture (like chairs) and things and he really likes to give kisses.... he is an inside dog and he is house trained.... except on very few occasions he does NOT use the bathroom in the house... he is a fun dog and he will run and play with the best of them.... he likes being outside so when you let him out he sometimes won't come back and you have to go and chase him down.... he's not fixed or anything like that... i think that's about it....

so her goes that question.... i was wondering if somebody (that i know because i'm sure there may be some looking at this who i don't know) would mind taking him and letting him live with them for until March 27th.... you see if i can't find somewhere for him to stay then i am going to have to get rid of him.... i will supply his food and all of his needs other than that.... oh and one thing i forgot.... he hurt his back a couple of months ago and so he needs to be really careful about what he does (for instance, no jumping from higher places... etc.) anyways.... so if you would like to help me out with this please just let me know because i must figure something out within the next week....

you can email me little_gyrl_2006@hotmail.com
if you have any questions or anything like that or if you would like to help me out..
love to all and thanks alot

winter weather

so i have been inside with nothing to do for like three days now..... if you haven't seen the weather for here it's not good.... we had about 2 or 3 inches of sleet(not snow) on the ground right now and it's still freezing rain...... it was sleeting friday when we woke up so they canceled EGS then it was sleeting again yesterday so they canceled it for yesterday and today..... so we have been sitting inside ALL day long and it's getting pretty boring.... the good thing is that i got some school done.... i would have gotten more done except for the simple fact of after about an hour or so of doing it you sort of get tired and plus there are alot of distractions in an apartment of 7 girls.... anyways..... so i hope everybody is doing good.... and i can't wait to see those of you who are coming for the Signs and Wonders conference in feb..... it's going to be GREAT!!! i'm really excited.... anyways that's all for now

love ya'll lots and lots
allison

hey to all

so i decided that i would blog today as you could probably tell.... anyways so everything's going good here.... we are still doing orientation so it's really really busy for the track 1 people and not very busy for the track 2 people because we heard it all last time...... this gives me the perfect opportunity to do school so it's GREAT.... especially seeing as i found out the other day that i have to have it done by the 28th..... oh well it's all good cuz i'm almost done anyways...... so yeah.... God's doing alot as He always does and yeah..... probably the main thing that He is teaching me right now is to WAIT!!! this doesn't sound very hard.... really it doesn't or at least i didn't think it sounded to hard.... but when what you want is like right there in front of your face(or at least you think it is) and you can't have it it's sort of hard..... i guess that's where that saying comes in patience is a virtue.... and apparently i haven't aquired it yet..... oh well i guess that i will during this time.... so yeah i guess that's all
love all

Back at IHOP

so i just wanted to let everybody know that i made it back to IHOP.... just barely it seemed like but i did make it..... yesterday was hard leaving everybody again plus the other stuff that happened weren't to great either..... so here are the events of yesterday..... we get to the airport and everything... oh yeah it turns out we were able to meet daddy and he went to the airport with us, which was really good..... anyways, so we get to the airport and it turns out that they had overbooked the flight and so the lady was like you need to go straight to the person at the desk and get you a seat.... the thing was that i hadn't had anything to eat since early that morning and i was really hungry.... ok so i just changed my mind about writing about all of this..... i'm just really not in a very good place to write it right now.... i'll just leave it as yesterday was really rough... today really hasn't been much different either because i miss my family ALOT!!! and i just left them yesterday.... thanks once again to everybody who has helped me through finances or prayer in these last months and days..... it has helped ALOT!!!!! i can't express how much this really means to me.... thank you SO SO SO SO much.....

i love you all lots and lots
