Haha ok j/k. Emma Grace was born on October 5, 2006 at 9:27 am. She **WEIGHED. better Jason?! haha** 6 lbs. 15.8 ounces and was 19 and 1/2 inches long. She is beautiful! She is BY FAR the cutest baby girl ever. haha She really is adorable. I LOVE and miss her sooo much. I HATE living so far away. It's torchure.
This is my favorite picture of her I think:
The new little family.
Eben is due in January. So we're all excited about him making his entrance into the world as well.
Here's his mama at 6 months. :)
So two little people are pretty much the only things I care about right now. haha

| So I went to school today. All day. I accidently slept in way too late so I didn't have enough time to get dressed so I looked and felt like total crap all day. School went pretty good though... We watched a movie in Sociology ... Shawshank Redemption... it had some cool stuff but I wouldn't recomend it because it's got some raunchy stuff in it. Then Meredith, Katie, Kelly and I went and ate at KFC then we went to Goody's where I got a really cute shirt because I really needed a dress shirt and then we went to this other store that I can't remember the name of and I got a really cute long necklace. Then I went to Art class which went pretty well. We watched a video in there too and there's this artist named Matthew Ritchey who is really awesome. But yeah today was good but it kind of wasn't. I was just kind of tired and kind of sad all day. Not really sure. But tomorrow I'm going to get up early and run on the treadmill, work on some homework and clean my room. It's a dump. And it's the weekend but I don't know if I have any plans so that will be fun. haha I found another song I love.. it's called Rain by Breaking Benjamin.

| Life's gettin crazy. So many things changing...so many things staying the same. Why is it that all the things you want to change stay exactly where they are with no hope of changing and the things you never thought of changing either change or threaten to change. I mean that's not like the rule...but in my life that seems to happen more often than not.
Anyways...
My little neice Emma Grace is soon to make her intrance into the world so we're all super excited about that. Mom and Dad are all packed up and ready to go when my sister and brother in law call but since they live in Georiga I'm really hoping they can make it in time. :) So exciting. I'll post pictures when she gets here. :D
I really like shawnee. I go there on Tuesday and Thursdays and yesterday I got my first graded work back and I got 100%. It was just an in class english paper but i was pretty happy. I really like my English class. It's a night class and I like that for some reason and the teacher is like uber liberal but I think he's cool. I know we probably don't agree on some things but people that are so sure of their views and opinions make me want to really figure out what I believe about stuff. My art history class is ok I guess. It's a little art history and a lot of actually drawing/creating stuff. So I'm not a huge fan of that but whatever. This is really weird but my next door neighbor who I'd never met in the 5 years of living in this house is in that class..i just think that's kinda ironic. My Sociology class is a breeze...so far. haha Don't want to jynx myself. The teacher is from Holland so she has a cool accent but she compares everything to the way they do it in holland and then says that being ethnocentric is being close-minded but she filters everything through how Holland does things or how people in Holland act. But the class is huge and she said she doesn't mind if we sleep. haha I haven't yet because I'm still a nervous newby taking pages and pages of notes on things I'll never see again. Oh well...better safe than sorry i guess.
So this Sunday, October 1st, my church is having our Fall Heritage Day celebration thingy so that'll be fun and then after that we're breaking ground on our new building. I'm so excited and I'm so happy about God's provision and guidance for us. The church people alone have given almost $100,000. And we don't have any rich people in our church so I think some have really sacrificed. But i guess as Christians, Sacrifice should be the norm...not the exception. Oh well. I love the people at that church. After not having a youth group for 16 years we've finally got one started. I'm really excited about it and I hope God will use it to reach youth who need help. Our town is like if you don't do drugs or party there's pretty much no place for you and I don't think we can change that but maybe God can help us keep some from that or get others out of it. Last Wednesday night we had our first Bible Study and we met at the Christian School down the road because we couldn't all fit in the Nursery where we'd been meeting the year before. We had 20 teens and 4 leaders I think so I thought that was pretty good for a church that only averages about 80 in attendance. :) Next friday we're having a Bonfire and Hayride at a family in the churches farm so I'm excited about that. In a few weeks we're taking flowers to elderly shut ins, raking leaves for people and preparing and serving a dinner to the Volunteer service people such as Police, EMT's, Firefighters and such.
So, I'm trying to find a college for next fall. I'm interested in Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa Falls, GA but I haven't applied there yet. ...I really need to get the ball rollin so I can try to get scholarships. There are so many colleges and they're like all expensive and I'm sooo poor. I don't have any money for college what so ever. I wish I was 13 again. I really need a job too. It's sooo hard to find a job around here.
There are so many things in my life I want to change right now but I just seem to be so appathetic and i just don't have the will power and desire to fight the good fight..i hate fighting...I just need to give it up...get up.. accept God's grace and get on with it. I see grown people and I see them going through the same crap at ages 17-25-35-45-90... we all have to deal with our flesh and I just don't want to. I don't want to deal. I want more than just getting by but I know that to do that I have to put in more than a just getting by effort. I mean I'm not like depressed..i have a good life... It could just be better. I want to be a better daughter to my heavenly father and my earthly parents, i want to be a better sibling, better friend, better christian... I want to lose weight because I'm sick of looking bad all the time. I've just always felt like I've had forever to figure stuff out and now I feel like I have a dead-line. haha
I'm not alone..i really believe.. You never go..You never leave..here and now..You always stay..I love you could not be said A BETTER WAY... This song by Downhere has become my favorite song over the last few days.

| Wow. It's been a looong time since I've written on here. For a few months I pretty much forgot I had an xanga. I only know I think 3 people who haven't sold out to myspace. lol
I cannot believe Summer is almost over!! Craziness! It's been a really good summer though! Lots of good times and lots of good memories. Gonna summarize the summer real quick: Started babysitting
Rebekah and Samantha came up to hang out for a week
Went to Courtney and Jason's for the first time
Lucy died
Found out Christopher and Sarah were pregnant
Alabama for a week - met the cutest little boy ever named Corey
Church camp with my cousin
Saw fireworks
Kelly had a Graduation party that was a blast.
Went to a Mark Schultz concert
Spent the night with Lindsey
Fair week. Walked around "the circle" probably close to 500 times. lol
Went to the suckiest concert ever.. Keith Anderson. Gag me. It was free...OK! and I thought it would be over by the time i got there.
Had a suprise birthday party for Meredith's 21st.
Back to Georgia for a wedding.
Found out my brother's baby is a boy.. Eben.. maybe.
Went to Orientation at Shawnee to start Post Secondary
Got a cute haircut. lol
Ok I'm sure i'm forgetting stuff but oh well. It's been a good summer. I've only been bored a couple of times. haha I start going to Shawnee State University for Post seconday on September 7th. That should be cool because I knew several people who go there.
I'm kinda excited kinda not. I went and applied yesterday to be a waitress at Frisches, cashier at wal-mart or a cashier at Prather's. I think I'd rather try the waitressing thing most but whatever. I'm not that picky right now. It's not like this is my life calling..just the means to an end... a good college.
