Welcome Home!

Christmas 

Today was a fantastic day... Well, until I had to go to work. I went to Calvary Church this morning, because Amanda and Brandon were speaking about their summer at TEAMeffort! Ohhhhh! Did I mention Amanda is home? That makes me soooo happy! After church, we went to Barberito's. Then, I brought them back to my apartment to show it to them. It was like old times. We just sit in the living room until I had to get ready for work just talking about summer and updating each other on everything. 

Passion 2011! 

    I met Amanda last year. She was president of Alpha Omega. I wanted to know more about AO, so I sent her a Facebook message one day. I decided to go to a concert with AO. Amanda and I just clicked. I really  feel like God placed her in my life at the perfect time. She basically lived with me last year for awhile. We experienced so much together last year and I'm so happy that we became friends.She was and is the main person I talk to about everything. She is such a blessing and such a light to me. I missed her so much and I'm so happy she is home now! :) 

Good good day!

My dad came to visit me today! Basically, it was just because I will not be going home again until late September. I was off and he was off, so it was a perfect excuse. Not to mention, I am getting new tires soon and we wanted to go get some estimates, since I have no idea what I need to get or anything. So, anyways. We went to FATZ for dinner. Oh my goodness. DELICIOUS! We ran to a couple of thrift stores. Of course, there was a Menchies trip in there too and a trip to Pal's to get a tea. We ended up coming back to my apartment kinda early. We ended up watching 2 hours of I Dream of Jenie and Bewitched. So relaxing. It was hard to say goodbye. I love hanging out with my dad. We have so much fun just doing nothing. I love it!

Dandelions...

Dandelions are a very special flower for me. When I was younger, my mamaw would always take me to go yard saleing with her every Saturday morning. I was like 5 or so, so I would always get a little frustrated and bored and just want to go home. My mamaw was a very stern woman. She would not take me throwing a fit in public. She would always recommend that I go play in the yard with the dandelions. My mamaw was my number one supporter and someone I could always go and talk to. When she passed, I was in a complete bad stage in my life. But, I now see how God used that in my life and all that good that came from a bad situation. So, to make a long story (that I'm not sure even makes sense) short, I have decided to get a dandelion tattoo in memory of my mamaw. I'm not sure when and I'm not completely sure where yet either my foot or my shoulder, but I am going to get it. It will look something like this... just without the birds. 

Around the dandelion I want it to say "You see flowers in these weeds." I stole this line from the song "Dandelions" by the Five Iron Frenzy, but it's so true!
