I didn't really realize I had so much crap in there! I really need to file some stuff. I'm so not going through my wallet or make up bag! I'd be here forever typing!!

My cousin Audrey

Please pray for my cousin Audrey! She's in a hospital in San Angelo right now. She's been in and out of hospitals for awhile now. She has a very dysfunctional relationship with her Mom. She just has a lot of issues to deal with. Her Mom, my Aunt, got her a fake ID when she wasn't even 18 yet just so they could go to the bar together! She gets high with her and is just hurting her more than she's helping! I pray that Audrey would WANT to get better! She can spend all the time in the world in rehabs and hospitals but they won't do any good until she wants to get better! I pray she finds God and turns her life around. My heart breaks for her. I want her to know and feel the love of Jesus like I do!

Wedding Bells!

I'm usually not a big fan of weddings and romance and all that's included! But my wonderful (kinda mean, but wonderful) brother is getting married this Sunday! They've been engaged for a couple of months, and have decided to do it this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Neither one of them cares about all the fancy traditional stuff, they just want to be married. I'm so happy for them both. They're perfect for each other. She so completes him! And she's super awesome to all of the kids! (Alexis, Kalista, Anoe & Xander) She's just awesome!

Curves

Today I went to Curves to exercise for the first time at lunch! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be either. The way they have it set up is really kind of cool. Between working out everyday durning lunch (except Thursdays) and my new diet, I should be ready for the beach this summer. YAY!! And I guess I'll have to go shopping so I can have cute clothes that fit the new me this summer! How fun!!!

Play on words

The other day Alexis was taking forever to do something, and I kept telling her to hurry up! Well after like the sixth time of me telling her to hurry up, she said "Just give me a sec, Mom!" In return I told her "I've given you plenty of secs!" We just looked at each other and busted out laughing!

How in the world does she know what that means? She says it's because she watched CSI. I was so embarrassed!

More Blessings

Ever since I bought my car from Jennifer the driver side windshield wiper has been messed up! Sometimes it will go all the way up and back down, other times it only a third of the way up then back down, and other times it goes all the way OFF the windshield and gets stuck on the side view mirror! It's hilarous to see, just not when it's raining!

So yesterday I decided that I was going to take the car to the shop and get it fixed. I budgeted $100 for this. (I thought maybe it was the motor, but remember I'm lucky that I even know how to put gas in the car!) So anyways, I'm down at the auto repair shop and this awesomely sweet older man comes out to look at my car. He takes some cover thing off, says "Hold on let me get my wrench". So of I wait, he comes back turns the wrench two or three times and it's fixed!!! And he didn't charge me!

So I'm like well I just saved $100 so I'll go ahead and get the front brakes fixed. I left my car there and went shopping with Jennifer. Around 5 I called to check up on my car, and he said my brakes were fine! With the moisture we've been getting there's some rust build up but the brakes are practically brand new! He didn't charge me for looking at the car again. He also checked the back brakes, and my air conditioner!

I love saving money on stuff like that so I can go shopping!

Anoe

I've come to realize that I rarely post about my beautiful Anoe. She's awesome! Friday night she got to go to her Uncle Chad and Aunt Lisa's house to stay the night with her dad. She had a lot of fun. I'm really glad. Her cousins really missed her.

Then on Saturday after I picked her up we went to eat at Mr. Gattis! Every kids dream come true. She played all kinds of games with Kalista and Xander. We even saw a really awesome couple from church there. That was pretty cool.

Then at dinner, I noticed she had her first loose tooth! I was so excited. She's been wanting the tooth fairy to bring her money. So that was pretty exciting. After dinner we all (Jennifer, her kids, Anoe, and me) all got in her beautiful new car and went to the drive in to watch Bridge to Terabithia. Anoe pulled her tooth out during the movie! I mean dang she's suppose to have a loose tooth for more than 6 hours before it comes out. Not my Anoe, she was to excited to get some money! And of course it was lost by Monday morning. But hey she was happy and I love to see her smile!

And last but by no means least! I taught her how to spell foot this morning. Before we even got done putting her shoes on she was spelling it backwards. This kid is amazing!
