9:18pm: Christmas
So i haven't written in here for a really long time. So i figured id go ahead and do it. Today is Christmas and a really great day, but i will start with when i left off.

So the past few weeks have been incredibly hectix. Toys for tots was ending, finals were begining, christmas shopping hadnt started. Very busy busy time. So i the break ended and i ended up with really good grades, and some awesome acceptance letters to college. Finished christmas shopping and wrapped them all up.

I have worked 72 hours in the past 2 weeks so my check better be huge. Especially considering my car insurance is due in the beginning of january and my express bill is due january 2nd.

My grandmother went to ohio to visit and was suppost to come back with my uncle gary on the 23rd but they got snowed in. They have 27 inches of snow. So i they spent 18 hours traveling here on christmas eve to be here for christmas. They arrived at 4 am.

So this morning i wake up at 5 till 8 with my sister screaming in my face. So i then went down stairs to see what santa had brought. Santa brought me some tennis shoes, dvd series, auburn shirts, sheets, new pillow( i really wanted this foam one), and misc. other things. then opened gifts from my mom, sis, nana, and uncle. I got numerous outfits and 200 dollars.

EWWW EWWW i got a disney princess calendar and it rocks.

Then i got ready and went to my dads where we agian opened gifts. I got a dell computer. My sister got a motorized scooter, and an electric guitar.. hmm thanks dad.
Then we went to nannys and ate lunch and then opened more gifts. So this has been a wonderful christmas. I got everything i could have ever wanted and everyone had a good day. I love holidays and my family.

1:52pm: Ohh i forgot.... i got an 95 on my math performance final! woo hoo i thought i failed.
And a 88 on my test.
and i want to go to the lake lainer islands of lights. All my guy friends keep asking me what the perfect date would be for the holiday season as they all are moving in on someone. and my answer is consistently the lake lainer islands of lights. that would be incredibly romantic and so much fun. Christmas is my favorite season and i want to go soo bad. I am alittle tired of being the one who gets asked what to get for their girlfriend or where to take them. when will it be my turn. I am tired of having my eye on someone and them not responding. Possibly its not gods will so i will suck it up and continue being the ncie person and giving ideas. So i dont kow how i got started on this topic. it is completely random.

1:39pm: Toys for Tots +Hope+ God
This is my thoughts on Christmas to all those i have encountered in the past few days with Toys for Tots and the children. The children and familys see no hope. I do not understand how you can have no hope with such an amazing god.So this is what i am asking them and telling them. Hopefully my point will get across.

Have you ever had simultaneous pains of panic and rushes of excitement?
I suppose it is an everyday occurrence for people who are sky divers, bull riders or astronauts, but to everyday, ordinary people like me it doesn't occur very often. This year as Thanksgiving Day faded into Thanksgiving night I was overcome by the strange emotional cocktail that began with the thought, Christmas is coming. Wasn't Valentine's Day just a couple of weeks ago? Where has the year gone? In years past,my family has finished christmas shopping before we carved the Thanksgiving turkey, but not this year. We've done some shopping, but we're a long way from being finished and time seems like such a precious commodity this year. Everyone has busy lives. Toys for tots is underway and a huge chunk of my time. Work is more and more stressful, as more and more people get sick. I have several things planned before Christmas and I am in the middle of a split family, college decisions, and finals, so frankly, I don't know where we'll scrape together the time for decorating, shopping or celebrating.But then i think that Last year as we packed away the tree and ornaments, I made a mental note that I wanted to spend more time preparing myself for the next Christmas than I have in years past. I wanted to immerse myself in the spirit of the season and use this time of year as a spiritual catalyst to draw nearer to God. What an exciting thought!
This Christmas season brings with it a brand new opportunity to marinate my soul in the depths of God's grace. To read, reread and meditate on the scriptural narrative of how God became man, born of a virgin to live a sinless life, die a vicarious death, return from the dead with he keys of death, hell and the grave in His hands and ascend to heaven to prepare to return to redeem His church.Nothing can keep me from making this Christmas the most meaningful season of my life. Not my schedule, budget nor my circumstances. Nothing that is, except my attitude and hope. I know that carving out time for a special prayer and story that focuses on the Christmas story might not sound as exhilarating as jumping out of an airplane, spending eight seconds on the back of a wild beast or orbiting around the earth, but then again, the excitement from those things fade with time while knowing the Christ of Christmas has eternal ramifications.

Please understand how amazing god is and what he can do for us. He is the most gracious and loving thing you will ever encounter. God loves you more than anyone will ever love you, more than your parents, your future spouse, more than even you friends, or that current boyfriend or girlfreind. you just have to have faith and believe. The only way to have hope is through god. So i am asking for hope for everyone who doesnt know god.

9:33pm: So today i went to work and then spent nearly 4 hours peeling out the dried hot glue and then i used velcro to stick them together and then i put them away. did this to 60 boxes.and then i went to my dads and had dinner with my sister and grandpa. steak potatos and salad. it was very good and then printed out a few digital pictures and well here i am. Doing absolutely nothing. woo hoo

11:12am: late risin'
So i had intentions of going to both services this morning. the contempary and then the traditional and get done by 12:30 and be at work by 1. well i woke up at 10:30 and apparently my alarm had been going off for over 2 hours. I was in a deep deep sleep. and woke up in the middle of a good dream. but by the time i woke up the contempary was over and the traditional was about to start. so by the time i showered got ready and arrived it would have been nearly 11:45 and would be 1/2way finished. so instead here i am. i never figured i would write in this thing, but apparently i do. Makes me wonder what i could be doing with the time i am spending doing this. oh well. so today i have to work from 1-7 and then i need to go to youth and pay for cumberland and do alot of miscellanous other things but i dont think ill make it cuz it will only have 30 minutes left and i need to do the disciple hw fdor tommorow and then do some reular homework and rewrite a paper with a few corrections. divide up the sbe stuff between meagan and i. and get a good nights sleep. So we will see.

11:33pm: Shopping Spree
So today i went shopping with my mom. what a saturday night huh? its alright i like going places with my mom shes fun.. kinda embarassing at times but good. So we went to charlotte russe so i could return some ugly red pants i bought for deca, and then i returned two shirts to express and then bought a cashmere sweater, and after my return i only owed 10 dollars which was great. then we wandered through some stores and i showed her what i wanted for christmas. I really like this jacket at Jcrew its tannish white and kaki material and double breasted buttons. very veryt cute but its 88 dollars. Not to bad but its something id only wear a few times a month. so it might be a waste of money. and i saw some boots and the Aldo. but thats about it. i saw so many people i knew at the mall. connie was there. i saw keida, jackie, brasel, ect that whole group but pretended i didnt see them. thats really bad but i did want to talk to them. so then i saw ben at jcrew. Apparently he works there. Kinda akward cuz i love that store and now when ever i go i might run into him. He is incredibly attractive. But i am beginning to think i just need to get over that and move on with life. So after i went to the mall i went to eat. I got chicken and potatos and green beans and then went to kohls and got a wallet to go with my dooney. its turqoise. kinda strange but it matched. and my mom needed to get a baby shower gift. so we got that and left. The baby clothes were cute. i cant wait to be a mom one day. actually i can. i want to be married for a while before i have kids. but eventually id like to have 3-5. mkost likely 3. but i am rambling and i ought to get going to bed. So i am out. Goodnite, dont let the bed bugs bite.

5:39pm: Christmas time is so much fun
So i decided to make one of these after hearing a few to many people complain. It most likely wont get update very often but if it does they will be very lucky. So this morning i got up at 6 and had a very interesting drive to marietta, and then i came home. Went and bought a artifical prelit tree for my grandmother and went to her house and assembled it as well. Came home ate lunch and then me and my mom put up our lights and decorations. We also decorated out artifical tree.it is gold and burgandy. We are getting a real tree as well. The real tree is the one presents go under and it contains all the ornaments my sister and i made as a child. so the one day that i actulaly feel like going and doing something all my friends are not able to. They always ask me to go places and i always am either to tired or at work. But i need to go to the mall and return a pair of pants and two shirts. and pay my express bill. so i might do that eventually. We will see. Ive been thinking alot today. I have over heard conversations this week that i dont know if i was suppost to hear and i cant seem to figure out what to think. Caught up with trent and alicia today. Both are doing well. Trent is gonna have a gf soon. i am so excited for him hes been after this one girl for awhile. Hes a good guy so he deserves it. I am getting alittle frustrated with guys. Cuz the one ive had my eye on seems to get more and more distant and doesnt return emails so idk. But maybe it is not gods will for him to be in my life. im not sure but i am going to head to the mall and do some shopping and returns
