Monday 6/29

Hi Yall!!

It's youth camp time!! I'm super excited!!! I can't wait to see that sign that says Table Rock!! I've been praying for huge blessing this year. As far as I know, we are a packed out camp!! That is always encouraging to know that people have heard about our camp and want to come.
I really hope and pray that we see souls saved and commitments to follow Christ. I am REALLY excited!! I was talking to a friend yesterday and we both got excited talking about praying for camp and wanting souls to be saved. It's going to be an amazing camp this year. I know I plan to go get help from the Lord and I will get it. God has always been so good to me and I could never thank him enough. Sure I've gotten a little sidetracked at times but God has never once not loved or forsaken me. That's how God is. He's there in my tough times, when I'm super excited to get away from the world for a week, and there when I need Him. That's just the way God is!! He is so amazing, wonderful, caring, forgiving, and most of all loving!! I can't wait to see Him in Heavan!! That time will be so breathtaking. All I want to do is praise him for all He has done for me. God is so good!!
Can you tell I'm excited about what God is going to do for me this week? I so can't wait!!!!

Tuesday 6/23

Hi Yall!!

Yeah, yeah, I know it's been awhile. So much has happened. I stayed with Papa and Granny last week; went on a really long and loud car trip, and got major sunburned helping with the youth group carwash. I've been pretty busy. Class starts in a few minutes but I don't feel like walking in the sun again. It hurts too much.
I wish summer school was over. I so do not like going to a night class only to be bored out of my mind. It's horrible. Last Tuesday night me and a couple of my friends from class ate out after class was over. I suggested El Patron. Oh, it was sooooooooo good. I love me some Mexican food!!!
I stayed with my Papa and Granny from Wednesday night til Sunday. Me and Granny went shopping as usual. I got 2 new skirts, a couple of books for my Dad, a nice pair of black dress sandals, a fitted sheet for camp, and 3 books for myself. I think I did pretty good!! I always love going shopping with my Granny!!
Friday I had to go on a long car trip with my sister because she was taking one of her friends to meet up with her friend's husband. Her friend has 2 children, one is 3 and the other will be 1 in next week. Well, let's just say this-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Saturday my youth group hosted a carwash. I was outside close to 7 hours. I got a horrible sunburn and it's still kinda painful today. I feel like I'm wearing one of those facial masks. LoL!! We were able to wash a Dodge Challenger which was totally awesome!! Even though we were burnt and exhausted-we had fun!!
I mmight not be able to post anything next week-it's TRYC time!! I'm totally excited. I know God is going to do a great work!!

Hi Yall!!!

I'm at school again waiting on my class to start. I have like 20 minutes. So anyways, we had another monsoon this afternoon. It poured down like there was no tomorrow. LoL!! Believe it or not, it was over in like 15 or 20 minutes!! I was glad because I didn't have to walk in the rain here at school.
Lets see...my Uncle Nathan's church is in revival this week. My Dad is preaching tonight but since I have class, I can't go. We all went Monday night. Landan wasn't feeling too good but he was glad to see me. I had him after church and I told him that if he asked Uncle Mitchell (my Dad) for a dollar, he would get one. Well, Landan did to my surprise. I was like wow Landan. He looked at my Dad and said Hey, Mitchell give me a dollar. So my Dad was like ok...He got a dollar out and gave it to Landan. I looked at Landan and said see I told ya. I hope this doesn't mean that he will ask my Dad every time he sees him for a dollar. That would be funny!! Oh, after my Dad gave him a dollar my brother gave Landan a dollar as well. To Landan, he was reallllly rich. Good thing his brother wasn't awake or Landan would have to share it with him. I'll have to put the picture I took of Landan during church on here. It's hilarious.
Good news about TRYC-I was able to get full permission to do a game night at camp!!! I'm so excited!! Me, my sister, and two of my really good friends are helping me get it all together and helping me that night. We're the hostesses!!! LoL!! It's going to be a really fun night!! I can't wait!! Plus us girls are having a party afterwards-it's going to be great. I'm hoping this party will bring us closer and to catch up on each others lives. It's been crazy this past year-it's like I don't know my friends anymore. I've been really busy with school. Speaking of school class starts in like 10 minutes. Guess I'll go for now!!

Thursday 6/4

Hi Yall!!

Today was a rather busy day. Maybe I should say this week has been rather busy. I thought I would be able to sleep in this week since I finished that maymester class...uh, no. I did a lab observation at a child development center this spring and I let them know I would be free this summer but to let me know in advance when to come.
Well, the advance notice I got was 8:30 A.M. Monday morning. I was asked to come in by 9:15 to help with the preschool graduation. I had no idea who these children were or what most of their names were. I was totally clueless when I walked in. Thankfully this place is 10 minutes away from my house. I got there and the students were like who are you, what's your name, why are you here...yeah, they had no clue I was coming. We went through the practice and then I thought I could leave. I thought wrong. It seemed like I was needed everywhere. I stayed with the 2's until their lunch time was over, ate lunch with the 3's and went back to their room. DSS regs need 2 teachers in a classroom over the ratio limit so I was picked to go in their room. I stayed almost the whole time.
Then, Tuesday morning I got there bright and early for the graduation practice. After practice, I got my lunch thinking I was staying again but I got to go home at 1!! I was so happy since I had a night class that night. I didn't go yesterday because the class had a fieldtrip.
Today was the big day. I was surprised when I walked in and all the students said hey Miss. Mary. I was like wow yall remembered my name too bad it was the last I would see them as a class. Graduation went great. I was shocked. Then, I stayed with the 3's class since there was an overflow of students [DSS regs again] and went to lunch with them. I was able to leave after the 2 "real" teachers got back. Me and another fill in were able to leave.
These three days were great because I got paid to come!!

Tuesday, 5/26

Hi Yall!!

I'm sitting here waiting on my night class to start. It's been a crazy day and week so far. I've been really tired. Thankfully, my morning class is over this Friday. I couldn't be happier!! I'm not a big fan of gettin up early just to sit in a classroom for a couple of hours. Not my cup of tea.
Oh, here's some funnies from this week. Sunday evening, during church, I was changing a little boy's diaper...yeah, he peed everywhere including on ME. I had thrown a wipey on him but he jerked it off and preceded to soak me. I laughed the whole time. I think it scared him really bad though. Monday, my cousin and I must have been on the same brain wave. We said and did most everything at the same time. It was crazy. We ate something at every place we went to. I got a little nauseated on the way home from all the junk food we ate. Then, today...I kicked one of my friend's roller bookbag. Well, she turned around, gave me a scary look, and started chasing me. She scared me to death. I was like AHHHHHHHHH...don't kick other people's bookbags, they might chase you. After she chased me, we both bout died from laughing so hard. One of my other friends was with me so she bout lost it right when I got chased. It's been a crazy week so far!!
My mom fixed some kind of weird meat tonight for supper. It was so spicy and sooo good. I love my food to be spicy. I would have eaten another piece of it but, I had to get up here to school. I might eat another piece when I get home after class...it will probably make me sick but hey, it's good!!
I have some crazy pictures I'll post later of my little cousin. He decided to hang out with me this past Sunday. Me, Landan, and my brother Joe, were walking in the back yard when Joe asked him if he had allergies. Being the young and unlearned kid Landan is, he said yes I do. Well, I came up with a healing ceremony. Random, I know but so funny. I told Landan he had to lick the juice from a honeysuckle and eat a plum. He didn't want to eat the plum so I told him another way was to throw it in the swimming pool. The swimming pool is in the neighbor's back yard and not used anymore. Landan threw the plum in the swimming pool. We started up the hill towards the house and I told Landan he was healed. I told him to say glory. He started running and said "GORY"...not GLORY but GORY. I cracked up. And yes, Landan is the one without the best balance so he fell as he was saying GORY!!! That cracked me up even more. I told him to go inside and tell everyone and he said oh yes and did just that.
Well, I'm about to head to class. I'll try to post those pictures sometime this week. I put one of them as the background for the laptop and on my phone. He takes some crazy pictures.

Wednesday Afternoon

Hi Yall!!

It's been like forever since I've posted anything on here. I have been extremely busy. I finished my Spring semester a couple of weeks ago, had 3 days off, then started my Summer classes. So far, it's been good!!
The Spring semester was a hard one thanks to those 6 [3hr] classes plus that 8-2 lab and 8:30-whenever lab. In all, I had a great time. Through all the papers, projects, inclass work, notebooks, and busy work-I made it!!
I'm taking 2 summer classes; a maymester [every morning til May 29] and a full semester [every Tuesday and Thursday night]. I'm enjoying myself and learning so much!!

Hi Yall!!

Today has been an interesting day. I had to run to catch the CAT bus this morning. I laughed the whole time. LoL!! When I got to class I knew it was going to be a rough 3 hours. My instructor came in all happy and I was like oh no, not a good sign. Thankfully I had cut a large piece of paper into 4 little sheets so i could draw and have enough paper without having to get up and get more. LoL!! One of the ladies in my class handed a notebook with 6 or 7 math problems on them; it was her son's work and she didn't know how to do it. So, while the instructor was giving her detailed lecture, I either colored for a few minutes or I did math problems. I left class after a couple of hours and got home in time to have some lunch and to get ready for the tonight's class. Speaking of tonight's class, it wasn't as bad as last week. LoL!! It was actually fun!! I've got to find some articles to review for tomorrow's class.
