Spring Break

 

Ok, So I basically had the best Spring Break EVER!!  I really had NO plans what so ever, but that was the best part.

Ok, so I started writing this last Monday night, and I realized how quickly it became a NOVEL.  I am known for writing novels with everything, texts, blogs, e-mails, notes, I can’t help it….I guess I am a big talker.  So anyways, I decided that I didn’t want to put you guys through all that.  I think I will do a bullet post.  So..here it goes……

*Friday: The beginning..me and the best friends all went to Top of the River.  That was DELICIOUS!!  After that, we went and chilled at Hilly G’s house.  This led to an all out water war..might have chased Brett around the neighborhood..just saying.  I finally had to break the war up because we went to go pick up Aly at the house.  When we got back to my house, we filled up about 100 water balloons, dumped them in a huge cooler, put the cooler in the backseat of my car, and stuffed all three of us up front.  We stopped off at Sonic, to recharge, and than off to Hil’s.  We get there and find everyone hiding and Hil on the roof.  Yea, the roof!!  We set in to an all out war, and eventually ended up chillin out on the sidewalk.  It was pretty fun.

*Saturday: Me, Aly, and Shelby all woke up early and headed to my house to help me “clean”.  Well, we didn’t end up cleaning, but we did finish filling up the rest of the water balloons.  JK, had some chicks that he borrowed for Shelb’s photo shoot.  I loved the yellow one, I named it Hermon.  It was a little feisty, and might have slipped out of my hands.  It also might have ran into the neighbors bushes.  It was quite the show.  Luckily, we finally caught it.  Than we were off, headed to the Mt.  We went to Aly’s to pick up the volley ball net, and I got to see my boys (Coen and Crossan), and Ash.  Than we headed to the park.  We went to April April’s b-day party, and it was pretty fun.  After the party we headed back to Shelb’s to get ready to go to the Winner’s Circle.  We met up with Kenzie and some of his crew to play some lazer tag.  It was pretty fun.  We played three games, and I might, add DOMINATED them!!  That night I got sick, and I threw up in Shelby’s bushes!!  I had to stay the night at Shelbs.

*Sunday: I headed back to the Riv with JK.  We went to the Riv that morning, and than we went to eat at Cracker Barrel with the fam, and sister Beth’s fam.  Next, Jk and I took the chicks to Zaks house, and I took a nap.  I honestly can’t remember what I did Sunday night.  I think I ended up going to McDonalds. 

*Monday: I slept in, cleaned my room (sort of), I packed and met momma for lunch.  After lunch I ran into town to grab Dee’s shower gift.  Next I came home, got my stuff, and I headed out to Alys.  I got there and we chilled all night.  Momma P made us some tacos.  We decided we wanted to make a cake, so we went to the Dollar Store, and grabbed some frosting and cake mix.  We got home, and we made an AMAZING cake.  Personally I wanted the white, but Aly wanted yellow.  Either way, it was great.  Shelby came over after the shower, and we just chilled the rest of the night.

Tuesday: We got up, eventually, and headed to pick up Hannah.  Shelb had to go to work.  We ended up going to PF Changs.  It was so good, and than we took our leftovers to Shelb.  Her and Hannah hung out, while me and Aly took a nap.  We got up, and we went back to Aly’s.  We went to church that night, and than after church we went back to Aly’s.  We ate some yummy stir fry and watched TV.  Hannah had to go home that night, but Shelb stayed with us. 

Wednesday: We did NOTHING!!  The most productive thing that Shelby and I did was take showers.  We did absolutely nothing but watch TV.  Aly went to class, and when she came home, we continued to stay in bed.  Eventually Momma P drug us out of bed with food.  She had made Pintos, cornbread, fried potatoes, pork roast, corn, and slaw.  It was so so good.  Than we just lounged around the house.  Our original plan was to go on a picnic..but as you can tell, that NEVER happened.  We got inspired to make some amazing Apple dumplings, which were amazing.  We sat around and watched AI.  Than we stayed up making movies all night on the computer.  We eventually went to bed.

Thursday: We woke up, and got ready to head home.  We met up with Ash and the boys, and Hil.  We got pedicures, which were great, and than took the boys to Chuck E Cheese.  After that we went to the melting pot, and than Old Navy.  Eventually we headed home, and we chilled outside with Ross, JK, and the fam.  They grilled out the best hamburgers ever.  So we ended up sitting around talking, and eventually had to take Hil home.  When we went home, we attempted to watch “County Strong”.  We ended up all falling asleep.  After I tucked them all in, I collapsed in JK’s bed.

Friday: I woke up, and I finished watching the movie with momma.  It was pretty good.  When winkin and nod (inside joke) finally drug themselves out of bed, we got ready to take momma to lunch.  We went to New Ichibahn.  Delicious!!  I love that place.  Prob my new FAV!!  After that, we ran to Hobby Lobby to return some wedding stuff..yep $98.00 richer.  Than headed home.  Jeremy came and picked Aly up for the singing, and the rest of us chilled at the house.  We finally drug ourselves out of the house, and we went to Ghengis Grill.  That was fun, after that, we went to get ice cream, and me and Shelb played in the rain.  That was fun.  After we dropped her off, we headed home. 

Saturday: Aly came over, and we all went to Café 302, Me, Aly, Ross, JK, and Ben.  It was fun, and than we went to the house to watch the new Harry Potter.  When that was over we went to church.  I got a really good blessing, and Aly did to.  Than we met up with Ben, Ross, Zak, and Skyler.  We headed to Pizza Hut.  After that, we came back to the house, and made crazy videos on the computer.  We never did talk momma into joining us.

Sunday: We got up and headed to the Riv..only 15 minutes late..as usual.  Than after church we all came back to the house.  That night after church we all went to Cracker Barrel.  That was a ton of fun.  Than it was time to say goodbye to Spring Break..

So, that was basically the best week I’ve had in awhile.  WE absolutely did NOTHING.  That was what made it so great!!  I loved it.  Well I guess that’s all for now….love ya fellow bloggers!! 

Beach

Ok, so who says that a quick weekend trip isn’t worth it.  Definitely not me. It was totally worth it.  We had so much fun.  My family, Ross, his family, Aly, her family, Shelby, and Hilly G loaded up and headed down south.  We had so much fun!!  First things first, on our way down there (while still in Huntsville) we witnessed a horrible wreck.  It was AWFUL, but on the brighter side, I got to call 911 for the first time in my life.  Yea, I was pretty pumped.  I also realized that next time someone needs to call 911, don’t ask me.  I am COMPLETELY directionally challenged, and did I mention we were still in Huntsville.  Sad, I know.  So anyways, we stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner, and headed back on the road.  Note..NEVER get the Wendy’s Coffee Toffee Frosty.  Blugh, Ugh, Blugh!!  Can we say NASTY!!!!  I don’t know what was floating in that Frosty, but it def. wasn’t toffee.  So, we chunked the dessert, and headed back on the road. 

So, around midnightish, we made it to the Beach!!  We dropped Jk off at the camper, and the girls jetted on down to the beach.  We didn’t stay long, there were definitely some creepers down there.  So, on to the hotel.  That was an experience all in itself.  So, lets just say DON’T STAY at the MICROTELL in Gulf Shores.  3 rooms later, we decided to stay in the second room that we looked at.  It was so nasty, but the other 2 were 10 times worse.  So, we decided that we would head to Wal-Mart at 2:30 in the morning and buy new sheets.  So, we wondered around half out of it, laughing our heads off at things that we knew wouldn’t be funny if we weren’t so tired. 

So, ridiculous, but so much fun!!  An hour or so later, we finally made it back to the hotel.  Where, we put our clean sheets on, and laid in bed laughing until we couldn’t anymore.  I know that our neighbors hated us, but man I definitely needed that laugh.  I don’t remember the last time I laughed that much. 

So, sometime around 10ish, me and Aly roll out of bed.  Hil and Shelby had been up for awhile, and they got us breakfast.  We got ready, and we headed for the beach!!  Woo Whoo!!  So, me being the retard that I am decided, Egh, who needs sunscreen.  Sounded great at the time.  I am defiantly paying the consequences now, anyways.  So, we set up camp, and we head to the ocean.  Oh man, it was kinda cold at first, but once we got wet, it felt so good.  It was the PERFECT day!!  We rode the waves, we laid out, we played football, and Frisbee.  We made AMAZING sand castles, and we played some beach volleyball.  Oh yea, did  I mention, we got majorly BLISTERED!!  We stayed out all day, and headed in around 5ish. 

The boys had brought us Chick Fil A for lunch, man it was so good.  We were starving than, but by dinner time, we were even more hungry!!  We got all fixed up, and we decided to go take pictures, only problem was it had already started getting dark.  We took pics anyways. 

When we finally got done with that we headed to the Oyster House.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  We also celebrated Paisley’s b-day with a cookie cake.  So, we headed back to the hotel, me and Aly were MISERABLE.  We got TOTALLY TOASTED!!!!  It was awful, but we collapsed on the bed, and tried as hard as we could to get comfortable.  We decided that we would get up Sun, and go watch the sunrise on the beach.  BEST IDEA EVER *Britney*

Ok, so Sun morning we woke up bright and early, and headed to the beach.  It was beautiful.. the best day EVER!!  I was miserably sore, but it didn’t matter, the sunrise was amazing!!  We took a TON of pics.  I guess I will spare you guys from the 5 million pics.  I just don’t know how I can chose between the fifty million, but I guess I will. 

LOOK AT JK!!!!

So, after we took some pictures on the beach, we decided to head to FLORIDA.  WE took pictures of us standing in 2 states.  That was fun, I slept on the way there haha. 

Next we went to McDonalds in FL, and can you believe that they DID NOT HAVE BISCUIT AND GRAVY!!  Total bummer!!  I was so sad.  I couldn’t believe it!!  So, I settled for a chicken biscuit and than went and slept in the truck until everyone was ready to go.  I was so STINKING MISERABLE!!  We headed back to the hotel, and stopped at the Happy Shack. 

So, after the Happy Shack, we headed to the hotel, me and Aly got a quick nap, and than we got our stuff together and headed to Lamberts.  Oh man, Lamberts is so so good!!  I love the rolls!!  After Lamberts, we headed home.  It was so sad to leave, but it was the best trip EVER!!!!  I needed this trip, and it was so much fun.  More than I could have ever asked for.  I am glad that I have the friends and family that I have, and I am thankful for them EVERYDAY!!  Well for now I'm all blogged out..talk at you guys later!!!!

Time to Post

So, it is finally time to blog..it has been quite awhile..so..I guess it is time to update.

So, basically I know that you all know this but here I go.  Me and Erik broke up.  I have studied on this for awhile now.  I have been wondering what I would say when I wrote about this.  Everyone CONSTANTLY reminds me that when I click post, this is out there for the whole world to see.  Like I didn’t know that.  I understand, and I am glad that I did wait this long to talk.  My emotions have gone from hurt, to angry, to sad, to angry, to depressed, to angry, and now to thankful.  I am thankful for the friends that I have.  I am thankful for the family I have.  I am thankful for the support I have.  I am thankful for my health.  I could have had numerous spells during this time, but I only had one.  I am VERY thankful for RECIEPTS!!  I am thankful for blessings in disguise.  I am most thankful for the Lord, because without him I would have never made it through this!!

So, I really really want to give a shout out to my friends!!  I mean WOW!!  They have truly been there for me!!  I mean seriously, they are the best!!  My life has been full of froot loops, pineapple, cow poop (thank you shelb), toaster strudels, and laughter.  There has been a cheezeit stuffing contest, a day to the melting pot, a soon to be beach trip. 

So, I guess to catch everyone up, I will start with the weekend that me and Erik broke up.  I got a text early that morning and it all went downhil from there.  Luckily I had stayed the night with Hilly G, so I wasn’t alone when it happened.  She was there to help me, and thanks to Jennifer, they were able to get me a sub!!  BIG THANK YOU on that one!!  So, I finally rolled out of bed, and headed home.  I met up with Hil Simmons, before I got home and we piled up on the bed to chill.  In the next hour Shelby arrived, and about an hour later, Aly arrived.  So, Hil had to go home, and everyone else was determined to get me out of the house.  So, Rossie showed up and we decided to go to Mikatos.  Not the best experience ever, but luckily Shelby got a phone call and Tara needed someone to watch Jasmyn.  So we were entertained by her knowledge of Justin B. songs, and her love of Dora.  Yes, I spent that night watching Dora, I am not ashamed.  I am pretty sure Jas was the only thing that got me through that night.  She was a “blessing in disguise”.  So, Aly and Shelb spent the night, and we headed out there way the next day.  I went to church with them that night, and than everyone came back to Aly’s house and hung out.  The next day we went to church and I headed home. 

The following week was surrounded by my amazing friends.  Monday night, Brett came out and stayed the night with me.  Me, her, JK, and Ross went to frizzles, and than car shopping for me!!  Tuesday, it was our Tuesday night club.  Shelby and Aly came down, and we stayed the night with Hilly G.  We stayed up ALL night playing video games.  Wednesday, it was just me.  Thursday, we went to eat for St. Patty’s day, and than I headed back to the Mt.  I had a big day Friday.  Friday, we went to town, Me, Shelby, Aly, Aunt Linda, Aunt Bev, Momma P, and Hilly G.  We went to Red Lobster, and than it was the big moment.  I had to go try to take Erik’s band back.  Luckily, they took it back.  Thank you Lord.  So, I was relieved, and than we went to the Melting Pot.  That night we stayed at Shelby’s house, and than Sat I came home.  Sadly, I had a spell before we headed home Sat, but Hilly and Shelb took good care of me.  Thank you guys!!  Sat night April and Blake came out to the Riv.  We went to Bailey’s house and hung out after church.  Sunday morning, we all went to the Riv, and than came back to the house to hang out.  I didn’t feel good, so I just slept on the couch.  After church we went to Applebee’s and had a really good time. 

This week I haven’t really felt up to doing ANYTHING….but, TODAY WE ARE HEADED TO THE BEACH!!!!  WOO WHOO!!  So, keep a look out for another update.  Until than……….

Wow..I Guess That I Am A Little Behind….

Ok..so yea..I pretty much knew that I would do this.. I knew that I would get busy and NEVER post anything!!  I decided that I would post every Monday.  Nothing really important happens to me during the week, my weekends are what I live for.  Well, I didn’t even do that.  I really must have commitment issues.  I do this with everything.  I remember the days of MySpace..I still have one floating around out there.  I don’t know the password or screen name or I would delete it.  I never stuck with that.  I never got on.  So than everyone went to Bebo..well I never caught that train..I didn’t even try a Bebo.  I knew I wouldn’t keep up with it.  So than someone convinced me to make a Facebook.  Well I stuck with that for awhile.  I never posted any pictures tho.  I basically was tagged in every picture that was on my account because yet again..I didn’t stick with it.  Now I decide that I am going to start a blog.  Well I guess we all see how that went.  HAHA..I knew that would be an epic fail!!  I have an MSN account now also.  But the only reason I even get on that is because it automatically signs in when I turn my computer.  So I am going to try and stick with this blog thing.  (Slight interruption..I feel like everyone should know that I am currently laying on the couch typing this..daddy is sitting in a chair making retarted rhymes..and is talking nonstop..I don’t think he even cares that I am not responding)

Ok..so it is definitely catch up time….

Lets start off with..drum roll please..I am FINALLY ENGAGED!! Woo Whoo!!  I can’t believe that he finally did it.  Erik Alan Rowan finally manned up and asked me to marry him.  Of course my response was..YES AGGHH!!  So we went out to eat.  We decided to dress nice and go out on an actual date.  We never get to do that!!  So we went to Bridge Street.  Our dinner was really good, but we got two desserts.  One was good, and the other looked like poop, and tasted pretty close to it.  Anyways, we decided to walk around in the FREEZING COLD.  We decided that we both had to go to the bathroom.  So when I came out, Erik wasn’t there.  He ALWAYS beats me out of the bathroom, so I wasn’t to worried.  I just waited for him.  Well, 15 minutes later, he still wasn’t out.  So I was worried.  Than this crew of weird guys came walking through, and they went into the bathroom.  When they came out they were laughing.  I really thought that those guys beat Erik up, so I headed for the bathroom to check on him.  Right before I got to the bathroom, I got a text from Erik saying, “Where are you?”.  Well, I flipped out, I was like how in the world did I lose Erik!!  So eventually I get a text saying..If you can find me you will be so happy..”I love you always and forever. Come find me, think about where all we have been tonight.” I was like ok, you got to give me a clue, we had been everywhere.  So he text me and said I am at “Bridge” Street, hurry up, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life without you.  So I figured out that he was at a bridge.  I came to the first bridge, no Erik.  So I finally turned the corner, and there he was standing on the wooden bridge.  He instantly dropped to one knee until I got there.  When I reached him, he took my hand, and he asked me to marry him.  Of course I went INSANE, ok no we BOTH went INSANE..We were finally engaged.  So yea, that was that weekend. 

On to the next weekend..

The next weekend we had a hang out night at Hil Gambles house.  It was a lot of fun!!  The only prob was that I ended up having a spell..yea..bummer..the first one I have had in over 2 months.  So, Aly, Shelby, and Hannah stayed the night with me and the next day we all loaded up and went to NASHVILLE, to the CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!  That was an experience..Shelby found a hair in her food.  Mine was good tho.  Than when we left we realized that I had lost my Flip Camera.  Well, we called and we found out that it was at the CCF.  So we were halfway home and had to turn around and go all the way back to get it.  **Sorry Little Brother**  Well, needless to say we didn’t make it back in time for church, but everyone chilled at the house, Ben and Ross came over and we had a good time.  Than we got up and all went to the Riv the next morning. That night some of us went to Olive Garden to celebrate my Aunt Tina’s b-day.  When I got home, I got really sick, and started throwing up.  Yea, won’t be eating there again for awhile. 

Ok, so moving on……

Alright so the following weekend we went to THE SMOKIES to celebrate Shelby’s b-day!!!!  Woo-whoo!!  Yea, it was a total blast!!  We played this new game that I learned called, WATER FOUNTAIN.  What you do is fill your mouth as full as you can with water, and you have to be the last person to spit your water out.  It was down to me and Alexis….the battle was on….sadly, I lost.  The next match, again, it was down to me and Alexis….this time I was DETERMINED to win..and of course being the competitive person I am, I did!!  Next up was..drum roll please..MATRESS SURFING!!!!  Ok, that was a blast..we def need steeper stairs next time!!  Overall we had an awesome time, me and Shelby showed of our square dancing skills, and we walked around Gatlinburg.  We also went shopping.  Overall it was an awesome trip.  Best part was just chilling with my friends!!  I love them so much, and I don’t know where I would be with out them!!  **special shout out to Alyshia, Hannah, and Shelby**  This is because every time I have a spell, Aly springs into action, and knows what to do.  She is by my side and takes care of me no matter what.  Hannah, has stepped up and started taking care of me as well!!  She is good to hold me, let me lay my head in her lap, and get a cold rag for me.  Shelby is also a trooper when it comes to my spells, for example a couple Sat nights ago, apparently I got sick and she asked me if I wanted her to rub my back, and I said yes.  I don’t have any remembrance of this, but she rubbed my back for like 30 minutes until her arm went to sleep.  That’s a TRUE friend right there!!  All of my friends lend a hand when I need one, but these three have really stepped it up and taken care of me.  THANKS GUYS!! 

Ok, so we are finally caught up to this week…..

So Tuesday night we have a Tuesday night club!!  Me, Ross, Hil Gamble, and JK all get together on Tuesdays and hang out.  This Tuesday, Aly and Shelby came down and we all went to the melting pot!!  AMAZING!!  We just go the dessert, but that was all I wanted..I HATE cheese.  So we got the most delicious dessert ever!!  It was so awesome..we are def going back..ASAP!!  Than we split off and me, Shelb, and Aly went wedding shopping.  I got the stuff to do my sand ceremony.  They spent the night with me that night.  Than Thursday night I had my drama club production.  My kids performed the play, “Giggle Giggle Quack”  They did really good!!  I was proud of them.  Hil, Ben, Ross, Jk, and Momma all came to it.  It was my last play of the year.  Than we went to eat.  Friday, me and Erik went to Josh’s house for a game night.  That was a lot of fun!!  Than I stayed the night with Brett.  Me Aly and Shelb got no sleep..so we left early and went back to Alyshia’s house to sleep!!  We got up and Momma P made us some pancakes..yum..than I left and met up with Erik.  We came back to my house and talked WEDDING stuff.  Basically this weekend we hung with the rents, and talked wedding stuff.  So now that I wrote a novel, and I am completely caught up, I am going to post this and relax..so I guess that is that.  I will hopefully stay on top of this and post next Monday. 

What a Weekend

Alright, so according to Shelby, I left you guys with a “total cliffhanger”.  Well, what happened was I got some news that upset me, and when I am upset it is best for me to just stop what I am doing because I would have ended up posting EVERY ANGRY thought I had.  So, to save face I just packed up.  Everything is much better now.  I am over it.  As Erik says, I don’t hold grudges, I just remember things really well!!

So, last week was so much fun playing in that snow.  We had a blast Wednesday.  My cousin Brooks came over and I haven’t hung with him in forever.  It was just like old times.  A bunch of my cousins and friends met out over at my Nannies house Wednesday with sleds and four wheelers, and buddy we went to town.  We had a blast tearing up the snow, and slinging everyone off.  Anyone that knows me knows that I go all the way or no way at all, and believe me I have a body full of bruises to prove it.  If we weren’t flying off the sled, we weren’t having fun.  I will provide a picture of the sled.  It no longer exists.  We definitely got our $23.00 worth out of it.  I guess that means another trip to the Bass Pro Shop for us!! 

Alright, so Thursday Erik finally got off the mountain and he came out to the house.  We went to lunch with momma at McDonalds (she had to go back to work) and than we went to Nannies house just to chill.  We ended up playing Clue with Nannie for an hour, and than we played another game of it with Aunt Sis and Nannie that no joke lasted almost two hours.  It was INTENSE haha.  So when we finished we went back to my house.  I made homemade peanut butter oatmeal cookies with peanut butter chips and choc chips.  Yea, basically the best cookies ever made.  Momma said that they would be “too dry” because in her opinion I added to much oatmeal, but they turned out perfect according to everyone else.  Our friend Zak came over and we piled up to watch Case 39.  Ok, so after trying to watch it on the blue ray player and than the DVD player, the disc still continued to skip, so we just rented it off TV.  Alright, ridiculously scary movie.  I am a big chicken.  I do not know what possessed me to watch this.  It was horrible!!  Needless to say, I was scared driving over to my Nannies house that night. 

The next morning, I sadly had to go back to work.  I don’t get why they made us go back Friday.  We already missed the whole week, there was NO sense in that AT ALL!!  Anyways, enough griping.  That morning me and Erik met for breakfast at Cafe 302, the BEST cafe in the WORLD!!  (Alright so if anyone from Cafe 302 reads this, that’s free advertisement right there, aka you can def hook me up with some discounts!! Just saying)  Anyways, we concocted a plan for me to sneak Erik to work with me.  So I went on into work, and I scoped things out, and got the clear for Erik to come.  We snuck him in the backdoor, and he hung out with me and my kids.  That was fun, and the kids loved him.  That night we had a singing at Albertville.  It was the first time for me to go with him and his new group.  I had heard them before, but didn’t give them a chance because at the time Erik had broke my heart and I didn’t want to hear him sing.  Anyways, the singing was really good, and I LOVE his new group.  We ended up having the most fun during the ride back though.

Saturday, we woke up kind of early because we had some very BIG plans that day.  We went to the mall that morning, and took care of some very important things ;) than we were off to meet Hilo and Dan at Shae’s Express.  (by the way that place is AWESOME!!!!)  We had so much fun there.  They had a live jazz band playing and me and Hil got the pork loin, Erik had the chicken, and Dan had the fish tacos.  Yea fish tacos sound nasty, but they looked really good.  I am telling you, this was the coolest place I have ever been.  It was like this little coffee shop/ restaurant.  It was so good too!!  Than we left there and went ICE SKATING!!  I haven’t been in FOREVER!!  It was so much fun!!  We had a blast, and it is def going to be hard to beat this hangout day!!  That night we went to church and had a pretty good meeting, and than some of us went to Jacks for dinner.  Sadly, Erik had to go home that night for the Funeral the next morning. 

 

Sunday, Aly, Jeremy, April, Blake, Brett, Hannah, Loren, Brit Hunter, Ross, Ben, and a lot of more visitors came to the Riv.  Than everyone came back to the house.  We had a huge snowball fight with our left over snowman snow, and it ended when I ACCIDENTALLY chunked a HUGE snowball inside the house.  aka the snowman's head.  Yea, I def had to hurry up and clean that up.  I was caught though.  After the snowball fight we talked JK into eating a spoon of Cinnamon.  Ok guys, if you haven’t ever done that, you gotta try it!!  Or, at least get someone else to do it, and be sure to video it.  The outcome is HILARIOUS!!  Aly spend the night that night, and we stayed up talking all night, as usual.

Monday morning we woke up and got ready for..wait for it..THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!!  Me, Aly, JK, Ben, and Ross all loaded up and headed off to Nashville!!  ROAD TRIP!!  It was definitely..EPIC!!  We had so much fun..we made it to the Cheesecake Factory, and we had an awesome waitress.  Seriously I don’t know if she just thought we were stupid, or just really like us, but every time she walked up she was cracking up at us.  She told us that we were the most entertaining group she has had in a long time.  We had a blast.  We made some videos, and did some pretty dumb stuff, and we ate some DELICIOUS food.  After we had stuffed ourselves silly, we went into the mall.  That was pretty cool also.  We had fun, and it was time to head back home.  We of course had to stop by George Jones' house.  Yea, you read that right.  We always have to go there for Ross, he is a Huge STALKER!!  haha..than it was time to head home.  We played some fun games, wrote a few songs, danced, and pretty much acted stupid the entire way home.  Aly ended up staying the night again, and we just chilled the rest of the night.

(The Ross Pose)

(Gas station Fun)

Tuesday, we woke up and Aly came to work with me.  I got two new kids today.  They are Japanese, and the cutest kids ever.  So going to be mine and Erik’s kids.  After preschool, I had my first drama club meeting this term.  I had a huge turnout.  I ended up with 14 kids in my club.  I am super psyched.  We did some acting drills and had some fun, and than I was FINALLY off of work.  Me and Aly went to Arby's, and we finally parted ways, and I took her to meet J.  Than I came home, I cooked dinner, and I began to type this.  So, yea, I had a pretty awesome weekend.  I realize that I just typed an entire novel, but I talk a lot.  That was my whole reason to blog, so I could just talk and tell as much as I wanted.  Anyways..I guess that is all for now..so hope everyone is having a great day and I’ll post more later!!

The Week of the Snow

Oh man, so I didn't really take this snow business seriously, but buddy was I wrong!!  I mean I figured we would get a little snow, you know, enough to cancel school Monday.  I figured it would definitely be gone by Monday night.  Nope it was still here.  So every day I wake up expecting this snow to disappear magically overnight.  I just can't get over this!!  I mean, I haven't seen snow like this since I was a kid.  I am so happy that it is here though!!

So, the plan was that it would snow last Saturday night.  That way I would get stranded out on the mountain at Aly's house.  I would get to spend more time with Erik, and it would be so much fun to play in the snow with everyone out there.  Well, our plan fell through.  When we woke up Sunday morning, "Surprise..Surprise", no snow.  So I was definitely disappointed, but I still had high hopes that it would snow Sunday while I was out there.  Well, four fast time rolled around and there was no snow.  So, I headed back home to the good ole Riv.  We had cancelled church so me and JK went and got some pizza rolls and movies.  We made hot fudge cake, and than we piled up for a movie night with the fam.  I had kind of given up on the snow by that point.  Well, I guess it was around ten, one of our motion detector lights went off, and sure enough there was at least an inch of snow on the ground.  When we finished our movies, me and JK ran out and played for a little while, than we finally crashed around midnightish. 

Woke up Monday morning with a ton of snow on the ground.  I was so excited, I threw my clothes on, and JK and I ran outside.  We played so much!!  I built an entire snow family.  I made a GIGANTIC snowman, and in the middle of making it JK wanted me to stop and go play with him.  When I got back, someone down the road had tried to make a bigger one.  Well, I couldn't have that, so I decided I was going to make a gigantic snow family.  Well halfway into that, I went inside to warm up.  When I came out my other neighbors had made a snow family.  Ok, by this point  I was NOT going to be out done.  I worked all day long, and I made Daddy, Momma, Me, and Erik.  JK was responsible for making his own, but he didn't finish his.  He got bored and lazy.  So we hooked the sled to the four wheeler and rode that for awhile.  I was afraid the snow would melt so I was the last to come in.  I stayed out until around eight. 

Woke up Tuesday morning, and to my surprise we still had snow!!  Yay!!  So, me and JK grabbed our stuff, loaded up the four wheeler, and we headed to Nannies house.  Two words, FRESH SNOW!!  So we played all day and night over there.  It was a blast.  We even took Nan, Aunt Sis, and Aunt Sue Sue for some sled rides.  Of course I got video of all of them.  My cousin Emma came out and played with us also.  We made plans for all of us to meet back over there Wednesday. 

Wednesday, JK had to go to work.  I was actually bummed that I didn't have my partner in crime.  Ok..so I just got some pretty angry news.  I am not happy, and I don't feel like blogging anymore.  So for now I will end this.  I guess I will be back later.
