So last Wednesday I went to Chattanooga, TN to see Actress, The Silent Escape, SULLIVAN and ANBERLN.... I went with my brother Tyler (who's more like a best friend) and our friend Colin.  We had a blast.  First of all, love sullivan, and so I was way excited to go see them, plus I coulsn't have picked anyone better to go with bc Tyler is flippin' hilarious... well I wish Seth could have gone, and of course Mandi, but she's in florida... but still we had lots of fun.  I got 2 shirts, both flippin' sa-weet!

So I talked ot the lead singer of sullivan, who is so cool, and looked alot like my bro Tyler... well the dude is from NC and gave lots of props to NC during his concert, gotta love that!  Anyhoo, we're trying to get sullivan to come and play for the grand opening of our new youth building... which will also be set up like a venue, so I've been talking to alot of bands about coming and playing.

I've been way busy, but loving every minute.  Mandi and I talk alot, but that's expected... Seth is awesome and has restored my hope that there are cool guys out there that are easy to get along with.... I mean I have alot of guys friends, but some times thy are worse than girls I swear!  And Kayla, well she's just like a little sis and she's applying to warner.... that would be pretty sweet.  During the week I've been busy working on stuff for the new youth building, we're busy getting workout equiptment, pool tables, arcade games, furnishings, all kinds of stuff for the new building... its huge, and is going to be amazing.  I also go some new music that is really good for worship at church, and that always excites me!  Tuesday nights are still fun and encouraging, my family and I go up to the Christian Outreach center and for 2 hours we load groceries in people's cars and pray with them...

oh and Pastor Scott was in all week, great to see him, saw Jake and Ash twice today... haha and played with Tristan, love that kid all afternoon, and will will a little... i love those kids.

anyways... gotta run, just a lil update, super busy, but lovin' the ministry, fun, and awesome life I have here at home!  Oh, MB and Lauren are both coming up this week from florida, cause we leave Saturday for Mexico

warner is grand.  most of the time.  lauren and mandi are such good friends and really know me, even though we've known eachother such short time.  i often miss anderson, but not in the way that i'm sad, just that i miss seeing those people.... but the sunshine, beaches, spiritual atmosphere, and all that out weighs the "missing" of anderson..... plus i have a seveal anderson friends coming to florida this week....exciting!

right now, alot of my friends are at home, in NC.  wish i could be there with them, but its alright, im here loving florida.... i do wanna see my brothers though.

so this summer, i might be our church's summer intern..... i was offered one here in florida and the one and at home and im just seeing which one would be best, i think i want the one at home though.  it would be a good place to do my first  internship.

sean was gonna get his lip pierced, I REALLY WANTED HIM TO, and his ears, but he might have the internship at his church in tennessee so he didn't get it yet, after spring break, or they won't consider him anymore.

we all went to LaDonna's friday night..... mandi cooked, it was great, then we played  charades.... LaDonna cracked us all up with her acting skills.... and grunting at mandi when she couldn't guess what she was doing..... mandi cracked us up as well, with all her craziness and "acting" skills..... her mind is very different than ours..... bobby was pretty flingin' funny when he put on LaDonna's wig and booty danced..... ha ha.... she tried to hide it from us, but he found it!!!  Ha ha, LaDonna's room is decorated in bob marley.... everywhere and she was even wearing a bob marley shirt while we were there, so it was pretty funny when mandi asked to listen to some bob marley and she said she didn't have any of his cds....haha....POSER!

around 12:30 LaDonna decided we should go to orlando and watch a movie at citywalk(part of universal).... so we did, but al the movies stopped showing at 12:30, so we went over to downtown disney..... which just being there is so much fun to me.  we al decided we need to go more often, but somehow we always end up at the beach.... oh on the way there some crazy drunk guy started chasing us or something and scared the crap out of us all... for real.  he was swerving around and knocked the orange construction barriers (not the little cones) off the road.... and then he kept chasing us, he deffinitely went over 100 at one time to catch us and then pass us cause we were trying to get away..... he also stopped like way before any light.... kinda weird.

anyways, good weekend.  last night was bowling, oh i saw curious george yesterday with sean, good movie. then we went to beef o brady's with the crew and i had a fantastic chicken ceasar salad, my fav, and that made my day!  ha ha, to end the night, after the 3 girls left rusty's we went over to spencer hall to say good night to sean and he deffinitely had on circus shorts....haha, yellow and blue stripes, and mandi pointed out it looked like a circus tent, so when we left i said, good night ringmaster and of course mandi kept laughing about that for 30 mins..... then she continued to sing LOUDLY at 1 am in williams hall 'you're beautiful... its true'          crazy white girl

midterms are coming in.................. THE VERICT IS:     ALL A'S...... SCORE!  All that hard work, and not hanging out, has paid off.

I was up all night doing homework last night, literally, still haven't been to bed since sun night (at like 3 am, which would make it monday morning technically.....)

Tonight there's more hard work in store, but I'm doing stuff to get ahead, so spring break will be totally CARE FREE! 

ADIOS...

Oh, be praying for me, way broke, and I lost my keys for at least a week now, and I'M STILL SICK...........

Well.... I'm sick, probally due to not getting enough sleep and a cold front came in this weekend (in the 50's) which feels super cold compared to the nice 80 degree weather we'd been having.... and I LOVE going to the beach every weekend.  Last weekend Mandi and I  went to Siesta Key together..... we had fun!  Mandi and I end up doing a lot of things by ourselves because Lauren is from Lake Wales so she often has other stuff to do on the weekends and Rusty sometimes has homework or whatever.... plus we're both very random, crazy, fun-lovin', spontaeous girls and we like to take off and just drive somewhere and make a day of it!!!!  Anyways I like school, and I'm doing really well, but I'M TIRED!  Be praying for me cause although I'd love to go home this summer (cause everybody knows I love home in NORTH CAROLINA), but I feel called to maybe saty here this summer and work in a church.... I would have a really hard time away from my family, but the Lord is ALWAYS my strength, and if I can survive all year, and I can survive 3 more months.

These are a few things I am missing.....

  My brothers (Tyler, Hallie, and Jonathan) they're my best friends, and my dad!!!( I think mom was taking the pic....)

My mom always makes me laugh.... she's so crazy/funny.... I think I have some of the funniest parents in the world.... And Tyler is absolutely hilarious, he's so witty.... I really miss him!  We always have our inside jokes!

My little cousin Will Will and Jonathan.... Will is SO FUNNY to play with and  so cute, and Jonathan is so awesome when he plays with him.  Plus my big bro is such a man of God and I really look up to him, sometimes I just need his loving arms around me to make me feel safe!

I'm a "deddy's" girl (that's how I pronounce it!)  I miss him and his amazing discernment, wisdom, and his jokes!  I'm blessed with an amazing man of God as a father and one heck of a preacher!

My Best Friends from Anderson University.... They're so understandng, fun, beautiful, intelligent, genuine, and caring.  They got me, and I miss them SO much sometimes, it really makes me cry!

Zandi (the black one..... ha ha) and Phina (the girl blowing this kiss up above).... they're still at AU, and I really miss those close talks we used to have. 

NICKY!!!! My best friend from home and high school buddy!!  She pretty much knows me inside and out and still loves me, I love getting her emails, they make my days brighter!

NORTH CAROLINA GANG... worshipping together, laughing together, enjoying NC's beauty tomorrow......

The old band...... miss it!

Tim tim and all of his craziness....
