Thursday Thirteen

I remembered! (but I almost forgot!)



Thirteen Things I Did This Week

one:. Well of course I worked. Unfortunatly, that's something I have to do.

two:. I looked for a job. I check craigslist and careerbuilder.com like crazy.

three:. Tuesday night I went to Gap Creek Singers. GCS is a community choir my mom and I are in. We sing a lot of religious and show tunes. I love it.

four:. Wednesday night I went to church. I keep nursery on Wednesday nights and teach mission friends. I have some of the best 3, 4 and 5 year olds!

five:. Tonight I helped kick off Disciple Now Weekend with the youth at my church. We had a value menu social. We had to dress tacky and had items off the value dollar menu for supper. We had Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers from Wendys, french fries, and apple pies from McDonald's. We danced to oldies and goofed off. It was a lot of fun.

six:. On Wednesday during work LeeAnn came to see me and bring me new pictures of Brianna. She's the most precious thing ever. I'll have to post some new ones of her on here.

seven:. On Sunday I went to church and then went out to eat with some of my friends for lunch and supper like we do every Sunday. We have such a great time socializing with each other. It's great to be able to fellowship with other Christians.

eight:. On Wednesday I overslept for work. I usually leave my house at 8 for work, but I ended up waking up at 8. Luckily my company is VERY laid back and it was fine that I was 10 or so minutes late.

nine:. On Monday I watched TV with my family. We have so much fun watching Deal or No Deal together. I love that show and we try to predict what's going to happen.

ten:. I went with my mom to Aldi on Monday. That place has a lot of good stuff.

eleven:. I bought some Starburst jellybeans. They are the best!

twelve:. I got a message on Myspace from someone I hadn't talked to in a long time. Kinda unexpected.

thirteen:. I spent some time singing with David and Ricky after church Sunday night. Ricky has an uh-maze-ing voice. It's like something that can just melt your heart it's so good. My brother does have the piano playing skills though.

Can you tell it's been hard thinking of thirteen things? I probably bored you to tears. Have a great Friday and weekend!

Saturday Sixteen

My brother checked out my blog and made fun of me for being such a slacker. I'm trying to do better, but I'm a busy girl. I was so planning on posting on Thursday because I wanted to do a Thursday Thirteen like some of my friends do. Guess what... I forgot. Thursday totally came and went. So today I'm going to be creative and do a Saturday Sixteen post. Hopefully next week I'll remember to post on Thursday.

Without any further adieu... Saturday Sixteen.

Sixteen Things which I am Thankful for...
(in no particular order)

1. I'm thankful for my Jesus. Without Him there would be nothing to be thankful for. There would be nothing to live for. There would be nothing... nothing at all.
2. Obviously I'm thankful for my family and friends. They raise me up when I'm feeling down. They give me a shoulder to cry on. They make me laugh so hard I almost pee in my pants. I love them so dearly, I don't know what I would do without them.
3. I'm thankful for TV episodes online. I LOVE Big Brother and One Tree Hill. I'm so thankful I can catch up on episodes I've missed online so I can stay up to date on what's going on.
4. I'm thankful for TV on DVD. I have all 10 seasons of Friends on DVD and the first season of One Tree Hill. I didn't start watching One Tree Hill until this season (season 5) so I have a lot of catching up to do. I also love the fact there are no commercials.
5. I'm thankful for Saturdays I don't have to work. I LOVE sleeping late. I'm a happy girl when I can sleep past 10 in the morning.
6. I'm thankful for wireless internet. I remember having dialup and only being able to be online for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. I wasn't supposed to stay on longer than a certain amount of time, but I always stayed on later. I also remember getting cable internet and having the cords running all over the house. I love not being restricted to a certain area with my laptop.
7. I'm thankful for my digital camera. I LOVE taking pictures wherever I go. They capture so many memories.
8. I'm thankful for toilet paper. Wouldn't you hate having to use leaves? I'm so thankful for that two-ply roll.
9. I'm thankful for my flip flops. They're easy to just slip on and you're out the door. I'm South Carolina they can be worn year-round and I love that!
10. I'm thankful for Anderson University. If I wouldn't have gotten accepted there, I never would have met some of the best friends ever. I thank God every day for sending me to school there.
11. I'm thankful for cell phones and cable telephone. If I lived in the time before cell phones and unlimited nationwide calling, I'd never be able to keep in contact with my friends.
12. I'm thankful for music. Ever since I was born, music has been a vital part of my life. My momma has been singing to me since I was in the womb. Music is so inspirational.
13. I'm thankful for service people: policemen, firemen, doctors, soldiers. Ever since I was robbed, I've become even more thankful for those people who work to keep us safe. I'm so glad they're there for us.
14. I'm thankful for Reeces Pieces. Peanut butter in a hard, crunchy shell. Enough said.
15. I'm thankful for my church. They're my family. They're there for you when you need them and love you no matter what.
16. I'm thankful for memories. I miss my grandparents and friends from the past, but thankfully the memories are there to help keep the people there with you.

So here's my first ever Saturday Sixteen. I hope you enjoy. I'm thankful for you.

change is in the air

Wow... 2 months since I last posted. I really am bad at this.
Well since I last posted, I spent a week in Florida for my best friend's wedding. She was such a beautiful bride. I'm so happy for her.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Florida, but then I remember I never want to be that far away from my family. I love St. Augustine. It's so great there. Here are some more pictures from the wedding.









Well on another happy note, my friends Brian and Lindsey finally got engaged on Valentine's Day. They've dated for like 7 or 8 years. I get to be in their wedding on November 15th. Yay!

On a sad note, Cox CustomMedia announced at a company meeting today that the company has been bought and they are closing our company. All of our accounts are moving to Kansas City, Kansas. The company will be closed in approximately 120 days, but they're going to start letting people go as early as May 1st. This really just stinks. I've been there 8 months and know what? I'm still a temp. They could have hired me 3 to 4 months ago, but for some reason kept putting it off. Now the company is closing and I don't get the severance pay everyone else is getting. What really stinks is that a couple people were hired on about a week ago and they get the severance package, but I've been there 8 months and I don't get jack squat. Can you tell I'm a little bitter about this? I hate looking for jobs! It's back to square one. I'm going to try not to take the temp route. I just hate being a temp. It makes you feel so inferior. Well just pray for the people of my company and myself. I just don't know what I'm going to do.
