Hey hey hey! today is Friday (well actually Saturday now..it's 12:33 AM).....my dad is standing here watching my type this so I'm like kinda freaked out. haha not really....he's like "this is the kind of journal, not it's a journey  that can crash and burn @ any time. Our emotions are caught up in sarah's song. Through the mist of our tears, we see sarah with her peek-a-boo curls reading a book in the dark. she has to squint to read the size 6 type. The cats understand the music but not the words. The music is all you need. The words are IN the music. You don't need to understand the words. The only word we can decipher is "faithfully". The cats are smarter than us. they're using cat subliminal messages...oh... *weird hand motions*". What a weirdo right? haha...now you know where I get it. hahaha! today was fun.
I got up kinda late, which I regret....but then I went for a walk in the woods w/my two faithful doggies! they are wild in the morning!!! like some rabid wolves! man. so yeah...that was fun and I got to see probably the last of the beautiful colored trees. aww! I got some great pictures of the trees wednesday, (on my mom's camera...my camera is broken) so maybe I can get some of those up on here. that would be cool. whenever she gets her pictures developed.....usually THAT takes forever. After I went for a walk I took my time reading my Bible and talkin' w/my Lord. and that was the best!!!!!!!! Then I took a shower and started on my schoolwork. I hung out w/david today, which was cool. I never get to see him anymore it seems......the only time I see him is Sundays and @ night. I also came online for a while and talked to some people which was good times as always!! I always come back with tons of things to pray for. which is good for me and them!
At about 4:30 we left for the AWANA grand prix that my brother was in (he had a pencil car!! aww how cute right? He won 1st place for design too) but we didn't get there til like 6 or something! ahh! On the road we got stuck behind this huge truck thing that was like blowing hay onto the grass beside the road....good times. I was driving too, and I pulled a little too close one time and the guy that was aiming the hay shootin' gun like turned it @ us and it got all over our car! HAHAHA!!! it was so funn-ay but kinda not b/c my mom was all like "We're late! come on!" and Joe was getting sad b/c we might be too late for him to register. So we finally got out from behind that truck and headed right into 485 rush hour....yay!!! .But other than getting there, the grand prixc was the bomb! We were all like yelling and rooting for people and clapping REALLY loud! haha! the clapping really loud was the funnest! I got to see Lydia and Jessica again, which was precious and I got their email addresses (cool!) I love when I can just hang out w/people and act like a kid...it's so freeing!! haha! Like @ camp! I feel so much like I can just let loose and be the kid in me!!! good times! good times!!
Yeah, so I met the alleged brandon last night. He's the coolest. I am so glad that Sarah has found him. It's so weird though b/c he used to work w/her @ Carowinds like 3 years ago or something. He is so sweet and he's a gentleman! Girl, you got it. keep it. She came home tonight and she was all like (she is sure that they are gonna get married...it's just about time) "This is me and Brandon's song!!!" It was the song from the book When God Writes Your Love Story . awww!!! I'm prayin for them. I hope that this is everything that they think it is. I'm pretty sure it is b/c it's all like the Lord is leading them to it and you know HE knows!!!! AWw!!! Our Savior, the ultimate romantic!!! He DIED for us!!!!!! Because of His love~~~ He is so amazing! I feel so blessed to have been reveale who He is and to have been given His awesome love and grace!!!! so that I can live w/Him forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ahh!!!!!!!!!! i am!!!
so yeah that is basically my day and I need to go to bed b/c I went to sleep really late (like 1:30) last night after going to Chili's and Wal-mart and BiLo w/sarah and brandon, and talking to jen online..Oh yeah and in the car tonight me and my mom had a really good talk about Jesus and his appearance to people after the resurrection and angels and stuff like that! it was fun. I love my mom. I am so glad that she is a christian and that she is seeking the Lord and following Him in her life. That is really special to me b/c I know that my life could be so much harder if she didn't care about stuff like that or if she wasn't saved. aww. I am so blessed. my family is such a wonderful blessing in itself!!!! ahh!!!! Jesus really loves me too!!! HE does! that's so strange that He would, but so AMAZING!!!! i really have to go now. TL,

Love always in the love of my eternal Savior, Jesus,
