I've been busy trying to stay focused at work, when all I can think about is "how many days until I get to see Will again??" We went WAY over on our cell phone minutes and are now the happy participants in a "family plan" so that we can talk for free! I just hope that the other part of my "family" sends me that reimbursement check each month! He's probably more reliable than I would be...
Thanksgiving is going to be memorable! It'll be the 1st ever Childress/Nay holiday. We're stoked (me, Noah, Hailey, and Drake) to be joining Will, Rosemary and Momma Chil in Lafayette, TN for some yummy Turkey Bird Dinner!
Please pray for Seth's gf Kianne. Her mother is dying of Lung/Brain cancer. It's a very difficult time. Will and I went to visit on Monday, along with other family members. God was there, but it was still a very sad time. Prayers and cards would be appreciated and helpful. You can send her a message on Facebook to Kianne Hilburn.
On a lighter note, I can't find one of my new shoes...and had to wear highheels to work. Tons of compliments, but I think high heels are sooo stupid. Why in the world should we be miserable all day? They hurt, and make you walk slowly...dumb dumb dumb.
Other highlights include Binh getting beat up by a ghost in the middle of the night...he couldn't turn his head for a few days.
The hair on Timber's ears is growing back. (after allergic reactions to his food...i have to feed him vet food...way too expensive.)
well now that's it's official and you 2 are in love, will there be a 09-09-09 wedding? i just checked and that's a wednesday... who gets married on a wednesday? actually, for now, don't rush it, enjoy being in love.
What up homeskillet! i am sad that i did not get to see yopu but iu am happy that i am not the rason why you are in the Hospital! You know A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!! Welp have a fun trip and don't do anything that i wouldn't do!! Love ya Oh yeah and HAppy Thanksgiving!!!!
So I just turned on the TV and found out that the World Series is going on! Who knew?? If I was still living at home, I'd know who was playing and all that jazz. I don't even know if tonight's game is the first, or the 7th!
Life has been good and trying all at once lately. Will finally got over his Mono just in time for me to have a lupus flare and sinus infection. Fun, Fun. With Lupus it's easy to start feeling down; thankfully I have the assurance that everything will always end up ok!
Two weekends ago I went out to Alabama to visit my William, and he took me down to FC to visit my Noah, Hailey, and Jenna! It was a big surprise, thanks to Jenna's efforts! Such a perfect night to roll into Temple Terrace---the last Suite 9 Root Beer party went down with the help of Will...I helped a few girls sneak out (unfortunately some stinky boys shot us with airsoft guns--which by the way have a very misleading name!)...and on that Monday I got to see my old FC buddy Lindsey Houchen Skinner at chapel where we found out that it was Boswell move-in day!
The day was awesome--complete with helping Will sneak into Hinely for a nap, full tours of the new dorm, 5 Guys burgers, and lots of brother and cousin hugs, laughs, and smiles. Laura Hinely even made an appearance! It was terrific! We left FC with smiles on our faces and truly knowing how blessed we are. I tricked Will into stopping in Tallahassee to see a Chick-Flick. At times, he truly looked like he was in pain...haha...although at other times he truly looked like he was enjoying it! I made a rule though, he had to cover his face if he laughed--which worked out well until the sight of that made me laugh!
Will will be here for Veteran's day weekend--I'm stoked about that. We have lots of not much planned! Looking forward to living normal life, and maybe hitting up Yosemite for a day. Things are going well with us, and I am very thankful for that. He's great.
Let the records show that I did endure a chick-flick, written by Nicolas Sparks. Anytimes that it seemed I was enjoying the movie, I was actually enjoying being with Kristen.
willy calls me rosey-cheeks; cindy calls me rosebud; daddy called me little honey-bunny; my friend blue from hs calls me Fred; and a small amount of people call me sticky buns; take your pick
Today I climbed a tree with a little boy. I haven't climbed a tree in a long time. It was delightful, probably one of my favorite past times! When I was growing up, my little brother and I would spend all day on Saturdays up in our favorite tree. I reminded myself today that when I have kids, to let them climb high, and to not stop them!
Later this evening I went shopping with a little girl from church. I remembered back to the days when people I admired gave me special time with them. A few hours picking out a new outfit, eating some fine Taco Bell cuisine, and finishing up the evening watching Elf can make a lasting memory! Now I'm up, have a 7 year old visitor in my bed...and am smiling wondering if she's going to make it through the night without wetting it? I made a rookie mistake and let her drink 3 glasses of juice during the movie!
One more week until I fly out to see William. Not the prince, the Chill. It should be a nice time. He's finally feeling better from the nasty Mono I plagued him with. Poor guy, I was worried about him! It'll be nice to spend some time together and see each other's smiles instead of just hear them over the phone :)
hey girl! so basically I was SUPER sad to not see you and "Chill" at the wedding. I'm sorry you missed ur plane. That is NO fun. Hope you're doin good.
When I was a kid, I never really imagined being 25. I did assume that I'd do everything cool I could ever dream of doing; long before this old age.
Well, my life has played out much differently than I assumed it would. I didn't get married at 19 like my mom, and I didn't get married at 22 like my cousin. I'm 25 and I'm just starting yet another new relationship!
I have dreams of learning to scuba dive, I have become a doggy lover, and I spend much of my time with nearly 200 middle school students each day. I am looking toward the future with excitement. Now, I can honestly say that I have no idea what the future holds. I've realized that I have very little control!
This I do know, God is good. He blesses his children bountifully. My life has been blessed most recently by wonderful times spent with Will Childress, and I'm happy to be such a wonderful Christian's girlfriend!
This year, we lost a dear sister in Christ to brain cancer. I felt more heartache, and more joy in those last few days than I have during most of my life. I learned that God is glorified in the good and the bad.
This summer I hurt really badly, and didn't know how I'd ever make it through the heartache of a bad breakup. It was interesting though, because although I didn't feel like praying, I knew God was there and I knew He'd get me through, most likely by the support of fellow Christians. He did. God is always there. In the words of Juno-- (no, not "Hold On I'm not my Hamburger Phone") "I LOVE IT!"
I didn't know you were dating Will Childress. That's very cool. But, aside from that, I'm glad you having some good times after the heartache to balance things out.
Haha, this past weekend I celebrated my 25th Birthday with my family and a few of my friends. The celebration was a month early because tons of my family was in town. Not only was it my 25th Birthday, it was also my Uncle Vern's 50th! It was awesome because we got to celebrate together and have cute matching shirts!
Next weekend hopefully we'll be in Morro Bay--and I'm really hoping to use my new tent! I've decided I might be a real grown up now that I have my own ice chest and tent :) That's what qualifies you, right??!!
i am pretty sure those are the qualifications for being a grown up. you may have to throw a camp fire chair into the equation if you wanna get real technical! =)
