This weekend, etc.

This weekend was pretty fantastic, to say the least. This post would probably be more effective if I had written it Saturday night though. Anyway, Friday night Andrew, Fenisha, Majik, Dorterra, and I went to the basketball game in Andrew Jackson (AJ!). That was pretty cool just considering I hadn't really done anything with Fenisha, Dorterra, and Majik outside of school.
Saturday was probably the best. Andrew, Fenisha, Duralle, Dorterra and I celebrated Fenisha's birthday with a trip to Rockingham and Laurinburg. After the long ride from Fenisha's house to Laurinburg to go skating we find out that it closes at 3 p.m. (which was in about thirty minutes) and doesn't open back up until 7 p.m. because of a private party or something like that. So we finally decided to go to Fatz Cafe (Fenisha's probably favorite place of all time to eat) in Rockingham for what ends up being an extremely late lunch (or early dinner, you decide). We're off and when we get there we probably ended up going through about 5 or so baskets of the amazing rolls and we all have a taste of Duralle's sexy salad (don't ask! Nothing perverted by the way, it was a salad!). We ate until we were all about to EXPLODE and then remember that it's Fenisha's birthday and she can get a free cake. And of course she couldn't finish it off herself (well, maybe she should, we just didn't give her the chance) so we all ate a bit of it. Well, finally we left and we start back to Laurinburg to go skating, but we ended up getting their earlier than expected so we end up going to SUPER WALMART! I finally got another chance to by another tube of amazing "Complete moisture" chapstick with Dimethicone. I really love chapstick. That was a fun trip to Walmart. Well, finally we got to go skating, and believe it or not I never fell! Actually, I think Andrew was the only one of us who did and it was only once!! That's pretty astounding. After a while I got pretty tired of skating though, so Andrew, Dorterra, and I stopped at watched a bunch of people dancing which was pretty funny. Finally around 10 or so we headed home. The whole day was just great (even if it sounds ridiculously boring right now!)
Well, I'm pretty cotton pickin' excited about this weekend because I'm really missing Anna Grace! We need to make plans, darling!

That reminds me of one of my old, immature posts, but I don't think that's really an awful thing..

I always try to think of these things after I type

It's rather hard to type with a band-aid wrapped around the tip of your left index finger. Ts are especially hard.
I need some girl time. And with girls I don't often get to hang out with. Anna Grace, I need you here. I long for your beautiful spirit. So often I don't think I'm open enough with you, but I know that you wouldn't judge me if I talked to you. I love you! We should get together with Chloe and just take a day off like we did when we went to the Renaissance Festival. I'm wearing the necklace you bought me in that picture! --->
I have learned so much about how I should act lately, but I don't act upon it. It makes me feel gross. I need to focus my time with Him so much more. Oh how we loves me!

"The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him." Genesis 12:7

"Adapt--willingly. Just because I know I can does not mean I WILL!!"~Me
I wrote this today thinking about those things I learned about myself from that leadership thing. Yeah, sure I act willing, but it's one of those masks I have.

I posted this awful picture of me and two beautiful girls of God's creation (Alma and Anna) because I've been thinking about going on a mission trip lately. Probably because Andrew's had his Global Expeditions magazine out the other day. If I did go I would probably go to Guatemala, Costa Rica, or Peru. Most likely in that order. I don't know if that is what God has in store for me this summer though. I have gotten soooooo slack!!
I'm stressed out and don't realize it..I guess that a huge contradiction seeing as I just stated it, but I think I just really admitted it. Pray for me! Leave comments so I will know how you need me to pray for you!!!
That was a very open post. :-D

What a colorful weekend!

So, this weather is going crazy! One day it's super hot and the next it's freezing! You can never figure out what to wear!
Anyway, so I had a wonderful time in Sumter. Thanks for taking me again, Andrew! I love all of his family. Anyway, Friday night I spent the night at Erin's house and got to meet Tiffany! Yay! That was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I was really super tired and we didn't spend a lot of time talking. Saturday I picked corn with Erin, Alyssa (she spent the night with Erin too), Tiffany, Andrew, Jonathan, Elizabeth (Erin's little sister), and Erin's dad, Joel. It was Tiffany and mine's first time doing that, but it was cool. We threw corn at each other, etc., etc...
Later that day we all took showers and Lindsay cut Alyssa's black (now with cherry red) hair and it's to her shoulders. :-D Lindsay and Alyssa both put cherry red in their hair. Andrew thought I wouldn't do something like that. I guess you could say I proved him wrong when I went to Walmart and let Lindsay put "copper blast" on my hair. She did an amazing job!!! It's awesome! Here are some pictures that I "stole" from Lindsay's xanga...

Erin, Alyssa, and me before the trip to Walmart and the "copper blast". Oh yeah, Alyssa flipped my hair out like that too. I love those girls! I love the girl taking that picture too ;-)!
Andrew, Jonathan, and me waiting for the blast to take effect! They tried to get a little bit of their hair orange too. I think their hair is too dark, though. You can only see the tiniest bit on the tips of a bit of Andrew's hair.
And finally, the new hair color after a fabulous styling job by Andrew and Alyssa! You can't see it super well, but it sure is a good bit darker! Oh yeah, it's supposed to come out after 8-10 shampoos, but my mom thinks it will stay in longer.
This weekend was a lot of fun, but I've got the rest of today and ALL tomorrow to have even more fun. Oh yeah, Alyssa, Erin, Andrew, and I took "Seventh Heaven" pictures...if they turn out well, there will be more to come!

"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me you know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in---behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" Psalm 139:1-7

I pretty much really would totally LOVE to go to Ambassador Camp this summer. I am just about sickly jealous of Andrew and all his beautiful camp friends.
I absouletly love listening to Austin Crane and his band.

overthinking

I look and think into things WAAAAAAYYYYYY too much!!!

comments

I wonder where my picture of Andrew, Lindsay, Alyssa, Megan, Elizabeth, Erin, Jonathan, and me at that band competition is...I really want it.
Yeah. I'm pretty much not in the writing mood right now..more like in the comment giving mood. I wish you were too...could you leave me one? ;-) Have a marvelous day!

I owe so much..

"Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. "
