Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We have had a quiet day at home mainly. Dad is still fighting a cold. I got clothes, jewelry, a Pedegg and a bunch of gift cards along with some money. Besides that, we ate a big breakfast at 11 and for most of the rest of the day have just been hanging out at home. I have done some reading, Tim have played most of the day on the Wii and Mom and Dad have just hung out and Dad slept some of the day. Hopefully, I won't get sick and will be up in Lake Wales for the day tomorrow spending time with my best friend and her family and Joe. Last night went pretty well. We had 5 kids at the first service and 4 at the 2nd service. I got to go to church for the last service so I don't know if they had any at that service. Happy birthday Jesus! We love you and thank you for dying on the cross for us and for saving us from our sins. I love you all and hope that you have had a very merry Christmas with family, friends and loved ones.

Lake Wales Christmas parade and our 2 year anniversary

Me on 12-14-08 hanging out at Joe's

Me and Joe at the LW Christmas parade

Hey guys,

I have had a busy weekend. On Saturday, I ended up having a boyfriend who loved me and came down to get me and we went to the Lake Wales Christmas parade that night. Yesterday, after work, Joe came down and then we went to eat at Burger King before leaving Sebring and then hung out up in Lake Wales with each other and his family most of the day. Last night, we went to Olive Garden, it was yummy. Yesterday was our 2 year dating anniversary. I am so blessed and lucky to have him in my life. I love you baby! Today I am working for the last Bible Study until after the new year more than likely and then tonight going out to eat with my co-workers, I believe. Tomorrow will be doing laundry and cleaning and probably packing and work tomorrow night and Wed. night and then on Thurs, Mom and I are West Virginia bound for a few days. I am really looking forward to seeing my grandparents and most of my extended family. Here are some pictures from the weekend though.

My busy weekend

I have had a busy weekend. On Friday, Mom and I shopped some and then that afternoon and night, Missy, her kids and Joe all came down for the Sebring Christmas parade. They got here at about 3:30 and we went to Burger King for dinner and then let Emmy and Talon(her two oldest kids) play on the playground some. We then headed down to the circle for the parade. It was good. The only hard part was that we didn't have chairs and got there an hour early so it was hard to keep the kids occupied and then keeping them happy somewhat during the parade but once it started, they were good. After that, we went back up the road to Lake Wales and I stayed with Missy and Chris that night. Yesterday, we got up, Joe came and picked us up and we all went to Wal-Mart for Melissa to do her grocery shopping. After that, Joe brought me back home and then I went to church and worked last night. Joe's birthday is this Wed and my Dad's is Thurs so I might have a busy weekend again this weekend between birthday parties, maybe going to the Lake Wales Christmas parade Saturday night, etc. A week from today is mine and Joe's 2 year anniversary. I love you baby and thanks for a great 2 years. I am so glad that we are together and grateful and blessed that you are mine.

Update on my life

I had a great morning. Beth, Brenda, Lisa, Ashley and I cleaned up both of our sides at the church. First off, Lisa and I went to Burger King and got breakfast for almost everyone. We got to cleaning after that, it was my kind of party, cleaning and food. I am looking forward to hopefully wrapping up Christmas shopping this week. Besides that, I am looking forward to spending time with my family, Mom and I might go get manicure and pedicure's, I don't know yet. It will be nice to actually get to eat dinner together. Even though I only work part-time, I mainly work at night so I rarely get to eat dinner with my family. I am looking forward to catching up on some reading. I am enjoying Christmas movies on TV already. I might be having a movie night with my amazing boyfriend later this week. I am looking forward to spending time with friends on Thursday and of course my all-time favorite, the Macy's thanksgiving day parade. That is some of the stuff I am looking forward to this week.

Me and Joe

Hey guys,





Well on my birthday itself, I had some amazing friends, Ashley and Lisa take me to RJ Gator's for my birthday. I really enjoyed it and had a bunch of fun with them. That night, Mom and I went to Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman at the college. I had so much fun there as well. I wasn't able to take my camera so unfortunately I don't have many pictures from my actual birthday. Yesterday, I went to Lake Wales and spent the day with my boyfriend, my best friend and her family. We went to Wal-Mart and got me a chocolate cake. Joe and I went to the mall later. Anyways as of now at least, I got a teddy bear from Joe for my birthday. Here are some pictures of me and Missy and me and Joe. I am going to be celebrating with my family tomorrow afternoon after I get off of work.

Losing weight w/Wii fit

I will be 26 on November 6th. I have been doing Wii fit and losing some weight so I had to go get some new jeans today. I got two new pairs of new jeans, a pink shirt, a cute red shirt and a turquioise shirt. That was what Mom has gotten me for my birthday so far.

My first blog

Hi guys,

I am loving my life at the moment. I am working part-time at Grace Bible Church in Sebring working with the 0-23 month olds. I have an amazing boyfriend, we will have been together 2 years on Dec 14th of this year. I am blessed to be surrounded by great family members, amazing friends and of course Joe. It was hard on me moving from Lake Wales but I am still up there a whole bunch spending time with Joe and my best friend and her kids. I am starting this blog to try to keep people updated on my life somewhat. That is a current picture of me and Joe. Besides that, I am just loving life and continuing to be blessed daily by God.
