Girl Time

The guys went to deer camp last weekend for opening of muzzleloader. That means the girls lived it up! Dee Ann and I were at the fair all day Friday from 11-11. Yes, we ate some of everything we saw. We rode rides and she played games. By the way, Grandma Douglas won me a new monkey stuffed animal! YAY!

Saturday was the Race for the Cure. My mom, sister, Charlotte and I walked in celebration of my grandma. We went home and played with Jordyn, did a little shopping, then took a nap. Saturday night I went to Casa Mexicana with Dee Ann's school buds. Can I just say that they crack me up?! I spent the night at her house and we stayed up and talked until the wee hours of the night and woke up at 10:00 Sunday morning but didn't get out of bed until 12:30. Sunday night and Monday night, I spent the night with her. I had a big test Wednesday and haven't seen my man in more than a week.

I often wonder how I got so lucky that my boyfriends mom is also one of my very best friends. I can go to her about anything. We may not always see eye to eye but we can express our feelings and move on. She has been the shoulder that I go to cry on and also the one that I go to when I have something I just HAVE to tell SOMEBODY. haha. I hope that we are always as close as we are now. Lee's family is truly a blessing to my life. Love them!

Patience is a virtue

Lately, I have been having to encourage myself to be patient. There are many things that I want and everybody else my age is getting..I keep thinking "when is it going to be my turn?" My turn will come & I know this but it is so hard to be content with what we have & give things time. I don't like to hear people talk about what they want all of the time, especially materialistic things but...a few things I can't wait for:

to graduate...May 2011
A SUV
my very own house
to be engaged/married
to have kids
a boat

Everybody that I went to high school with is married and/or have kids..I joke around about it all of the time but I really do know that my time will come. Be content.

Horrible "blogger"

I am awful at this whole blogging issue. I really do want something to look back on when I do scrapbooks but I am an awful writer. Luckily, not many people at all know about this. ;)
Grandma has been receiving Chemotherapy for 3 weeks now. She has not been sick at all (answered prayers). Her hair just started falling out slowly. Have I ever told you how much I LOVE my grandma? I will be "racing (walking haha) for the cure" for her Saturday. Love that lady!

Not too much going on. Last Friday night, I kept my baby (Jordyn) and she had Aunt Caseys, Pawpaws, and GrandJos undivided attention. Did she love that or what? She has some fake flowers that she would pass out to all of us then she would sing "rain, rain, go away." Then she would look up at the ceiling and say "it stopped raining!" She would collect our umbrellas (flowers) and then do it over again. We did this for about 40 minutes and I decided my baby needed a fort like we used to build when we were little. We would build it out of two or four chairs with a blanket over them. We loved this. Jordyn liked it but then Pawpaw decided she needed a little tent to put up in the den to play in. Pawpaw puts the tent up and GrandJo gets sleeping bags and flashlights. Jordyn gets a flashlight and goes outside the tent. She comes back in and says, "I GOT A CRAB!" She is 2 years 4 months old and remembered that back in June when we went to the beach we went crab hunting. We hunted crabs for about an hour. She LOVED this and even cried when it was time to go to bed. The plan was for her to sleep with her grandparents but when it was time to go to bed, she cried so Aunt Casey came to the rescue. LOVE that baby! I'll put pictures up when I get to my computer.
This weekend is opening of deer season (muzzle loader...I think that's how you spell it). The guys will be in the deer woods so it will be a girls weekend. Other than that, I have TONS of studying to do. Neuro III test and Adult Swallowing test coming up soon and about 5 projects due within two weeks. YUCK! (19 months til graduation) HAHA!

busy week!

This has been a busy week and honestly, I am worn out! I feel like I am so burnt out on school. It's like pulling teeth to get me to do anything towards it. I do love speech path but am ready for the clinic part. I haven't seen my Jordyn Riley since Monday and haven't seen Lee since Tuesday. I did start working out again Wednesday after my tailbone injury two weeks ago. I decided that I can't sit out any longer. The cruise is only 3 months away. Other than that, I am going to a party with Lee tonight and spending the night. Tomorrow morning we are getting up early to go bow hunting and then to Macks Prarie Wings to watch the dog shows I guess? The dogs are retrieving ducks. We want to see how Riley compares to the other dogs. Lee says she is BEHIND! haha. I cleaned out both of my closests and both of my dresser drawers today. How am I ever going to get married? I am so picky about my stuff. Anyway, that's the plan for this weekend!

Grandma started chemotherapy Wednesday and so far so good.
