[loves_2_smile]

Oooooooook, So I just got home from a whole bunch of crazyness/messyness...I'll try to explain everything that has happened...well, these past couple of weeks have been kinda crazy...one thing I must say is I don't know what I would have done without all of my friends, just being themselves, and encouraging me...that goes for everyone (erica, becca, jill, christine, kelsey, erin, kaycee, colton, eric, chris, garrett, adam, will, & anyone else I didn't mention...) ok, so...there are a few things that aren't so good..I'll put the bad things, then the good things, so it ends up happy :)...umm, a couple weeks ago, I found out that my former sunday school teacher (one of my favorites) died while him and his nephew were taking a nap...that was sad, he was awesome! but at least he's in heaven...umm, then this lady, Mrs. Semerau (sp?) was an older lady at our church, fell, broke her arm I believe, and recently learned she had cancer all over her body, and died of that, just a few days ago...umm, my grandma a looong time ago, fell and broke her hips i believe, and they are still acting up and she has to walk with a cane...my aunt, I just found out today (:() could die at any moment, because she has MS...for those of you who don't know, that's where when it acts up, or even when you don't have any symptoms, it can make you die just like that...one of my best friends is leaving school :(. and my other close friend might be leaving, but I'll still see them hopefully :)...um, ok, I don't want this entry to sound like I'm complaining the whole time, those are just most of the things that have been filling up my life the past couple days/weeks...sooo, I went to my friend Amanda's house on Friday afternoon...we hung out there for about an hour, then we went to her aunt's house and went hot-tubbing...ha ha, that was awesome (Amanda, Kayla, Lisa, Julie, Carrie, and Kristen..I had an awesome time!). so while we were in the hottub, we decided to go crash Andy's end of the year party (Andy's Amanda's ex...enough said). we were just gunna show up and say hi and if he told us to leave, we would...but it ended up his party wasn't that night...so we went to "blockbuster" (we did go to blockbuster too, but we also went to some kid's house...I told my mom the truth, lol..the others didn't tho...) so we went to blockbuster, rented two movies, then went to Mike's? house, I think...where Winton, Yahoo, and Randy were there...we got there and were like, let's go to 7 11...so we went to 7 11(and yes, I was driving around 3 of the girls :) cuz I have my lisence). when we came back, we went in the hang out place of the band people's houses..and as soon as I walked in...guess what I smelled?!? WEED! It was disgusting. soo, we're like...we're out...so we went home, and tried to watch The Notebook...but I fell asleep cuz it was boring...sorry all you girls who love that movie...I got through two whole minutes! that's an improvement from the one the first time...then Amanda, Kristen and I went to her room to sleep cuz all the other people fell asleep in Aaron or Andrew's room...we slept from 3-12...we went outside to "tan" for 5 minutes, came inside, watched White Noise...interesting...my favorite parts were when all of the other girls were screaming and jumping...then we got ready, went to Amanda's family birthday party at like 6 and ate pizza, hung out at Shield's for a while...Kayla and I distracted Amanda in the bathroom, then we took her oustide to reveal to her her own '98 blue Mustang...it's a nice car...her family is rich, you can tell...her birthday's not til August...I get to save money to get a car, lol...from working and stuff..but that's ok...other people miss out on that kinda stuff I guess...umm, so then we went to Amanda's, then my house to swim, then everyone went home late at night...then next morning, I got up early, packed, and DROVE up north...that was the first time I drove more than like 2 hours on the Highway at a time...we went for my cousin Sara's open house...funny thing...she graduated from college before she graduated from highschool...my mom wants me to do the same thing...umm, her college friends were there...and i had sooo much fun with them...college kids are soo much more mature, but then not in a way...they are still goofy, but in a way, more grown up...anyways, they were great...we played cards, went to Glen's, watched the Piston's :( that game was disapointing..we turned it off when the Spur's were like 20 ahead...haha, one funny moment was...Bryan: Can you believe the score of the game? Me:No. Holy cow...it's only because they don't know how to control the ball. Bryan: Wow, that's the most intellectual thing I've ever heard a girl say about a basketball game...I mean, the other girls I've watched bball games with have said...I like their jerseys or..that guys hott (Hamilton)....hmm, yeah, we had funny convos that night other than that...it was kinda weird that, like they acted like my friends and stuff, but they were from the ages of 20-24 I think...anyways...so that was fun...but I forgot one bad thing that happened, my cousin Jason and his family Shawna, Shianne, and Jeremiah's house burnt down on Friday...everything was gone except a few photographs and a Bible...interesting story with the Bible that will surely be a testimony for my unbelieving relatives...everything in the house around the Bible...everything was literally melting from the heat of the fire...the Bible was not touched one bit! that's incredible...the other amazing thing is that I'm glad my family wasn't in the house when that happened...but anyways, when they went back to the house, (my family thinks this is true...seems true so far) is that Jason breathed in too much smoky air and he became sick Sunday morning...so all day he would sleep or sit down...later at night, during the Bball game, my cousin-in-law or w/e Shawna took him to the hospital cuz he couldn't breathe all that great...so all the hospital did was give him antibiotics and told him he had stage two of Bronchitus...But anyways, my family's church up there that they attend to is letting them live in the parsonage so that's awesome...umm, then I came home today, went straight to work, did payroll, invoicing, billing people, writing checks & other fun stuff like that..I actually have about another hours worth of work to do tonight at my house...easy stuff tho...so I'm gunna go do that...but tomorrow will be fun...We're going shopping w/ an awesome person! That will be extraordinarily spifilifigous!(sp?) (erica, it's our word!)...hmm, one random comment, Sara and Adam are cute, lol...there you go Sara...
