An Amazing Weekend

I can't even describe how fortunate I am to have such great friends and family. We all had a blast on the lake Saturday with the family who came down from Tennessee. The river today with the Tuggle's and the Faulkner's was so much fun! I have not laughed and had that much fun in a long time! It was so great to go somewhere different for a change too. The Warrior River is a great place to go and have fun.  This weekend on Saturday the 28th God gave me the desire of my heart and allowed me and Molly (my best friend) to give dating a try, and so far everything is going well. God promises that he will give us the desires of our heart if we remain pure hearted and that is what he did. I am so blessed to have such supportive friends and family. Our God is an Awesome God!!! Thank you Lord for everything that you have done! This has by far been the best weekend I have ever had. :)

WOW!!

I have never seen so much destruction in my life. Never have I experienced so many tornadoes all at once, almost every town getting hit right after another all across the state. I have seen things like this before on the news, but I never dreamed that it would happen where I live it is just totally insane. Over 200 tornadoes hit alabama yesterday, over 200 people in alabama alone are dead so far.  My friends and I are so blessed that our houses did not get destroyed unlike some people we know.  Florence is the only city for miles that has electricity, so everybody from other cities are coming here for food and gas.  Many of my friends hometowns are almost completely destroyed.  The amount of destruction is almost unfathomable especially if you have never seen it to this extent before. This makes me realize how blessed I am and to not take anything for granted that the Lord has given me.  

WOW!

This week has made me realize to not take anything for granted, and trust in God with and for everything! Always be a good friend and be there for the people who need you the most! Things might not always turn out as you think they are supposed to. Everything works in Gods time not ours, that is something people need to realize though in many cases it is very hard to understand that concept. God is so much greater than us, he has a divine plan for each and every one. We just need to let God work his wonders and sit back and watch. He will show you the way through the darkness that seems to have no end. He is the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Cast all your anxiety on the Lord because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

Studying

Once again, like many times before me and my friends are out studying in the studio but it is usually in the halls. Two of my best friends Kyle and Anna Grace.  We usually always end up splitting up because we talk to much and can't get anything done. Just like Anna Grace had to go to her room and study because me and kyle couldn't shut up. But anyway I think I accomplished a lot tonight. Crap I have to go to Spanish Lab tomorrow and do my assignments before friday. I am glad I remembered that. Well......good night! :)

New York/New Jersey

New York and New Jersey are two of my most favorite places in the world! Partly because I have family that lives in New Jersey but when I go up there we always go into the city to eat and to see a broadway. I love to go to NYC and just take in all the chaos, everything moves so quickly compared to Alabama.  I have been going to NY and NJ since I was a baby and I love it up there so much. I miss my family that is up there but I see them just about as often as I see the rest of my family down here. They always make time for us to come up or for them to come down even if it is just for a weekend! I am closer to my cousin from NJ than I am to my cousins who live down here. That maybe because they are much older than me, I mean because they all have families of their own now. I cannot wait to go to NJ for my spring break, I am going to have so much fun, as I always do. I will also get to see my grandmother which I am very excited about. I can't wait to see my family!! :)

School!

Everything is happening so fast in school, and all I want is for everything to slow down but that is not going to happen.  I am freaking out about my math test monday. I am actually looking forward to the study group we are having for math sunday afternoon. I am doing well in all of my classes but math is just kicking my butt all over the place. I will pass it though I always do. Blaaahhhhh!!

Good Gracious!!!

I know this might sound bad but I cannot wait for this year of college to be over with! My amazing friends have been with me through the good and bad times. From late night talks to just laughing hysterically and waking everybody up at night! I have had a great first year of college but cannot wait to get this spring semester over with and have a long needed break. Love you guys you know who you are!!
