So Thanksgiving this year has been a crazy one. So my sister and her family were suppose to be coming to Albany for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. But then on Tuesday she calls and says that shes got strep throat and doesn't know if they can come. So we were just going to wait and see how she feels after shes been on antibiotics. So she said they would probably be coming on Thursday. Well Wednesday around 10am my mom calls me while I'm at work and says that G-mommy (gmommy had surgery on Sunday and has been in the hospital since) has now gotten a blood clot and her kidneys aren't working so we have to go to Atlanta. So I left work at 12 went home packed and drove mom to straight to the hospital. So my mom spent the night at the hospital Wednesday night and me and my aunt went to gmommys house. That night is a whole other story itself just cause my aunt was so sleep deprived, it was hilarious. So my uncle got there and my cousin and his wife came over and spent the night there too, and another cousin and his wife got there around 12pm.
Thursday Thanksgiving morning I drove over to my sisters house which is about 45 mins away. We cooked Thanksgiving and had a great day. It was me, my sister Erin, her husband Eddie, their 3 kids, and his mom Rommie. We had a great day. My 1 year old niece was showing off and it was just so funny. She was dancing for me it was great. So that evening my mom and dad got there and ate and we all just hung around the house. At 10pm Erin, me, my mom, and Rommie went to Toys-r-us for their sales. The line was so long out around the building and down the street. So we left hahaha. . . On Friday we found out that over 5000 people went through there that night! CRAZY!!! Anyways so we left there and went to Walmart cause their sales start midnight. So we walked around for two hours getting all the stuff my sister wanted and then got in line at 11:50. We were in the check out line for almost 2hrs! I was sooooo MAD! I am not a good black Friday shopper. So we got back to the house at 2:30am. I went straight to bed.
So Friday my mom and I got our stuff together and drove back to the hospital and relieved my aunt so she could go take a shower. So we stayed for a few hours and until my uncle and some more cousins came. We went to G-mommys house and hung out with some of our family that was there then went to bed. I hardly slept at all cause I had to share a bed with my mom and she snored most of the night.
So then on Saturday my mom and some cousins went to the hospital and me, my aunt and uncle stayed at the house. We cleaned. I cleaned every bathroom in the house and did a ton of laundry just washing sheets and towels. Saturday night we all went out to eat except for my parents cause they were at the hospital. So we ate. Then I drove my aunt to the hospital to relive my parents. We were there till midnight though. We finally got back to the house and hung out with family for an hour or so then went to bed.
Then there is today Sunday. We got up early but then my aunt called and said that G-mommy wasn't doing well. She had an infection and they were moving her to ICU. So we all got dressed and got our stuff together cause some of us are leaving to go home from the hospital and others just don't know who's going to spend the night at the hospital tonight. So we get to the hospital around 11am this morning. It is now 7 and G-mommy is in surgery right now to get all the infection out. All her kids and all the grandkids have gotten to see her today. They weren't sure how things were going to go because she's not really fighting anymore. She's kinda givin up. (but before she went back into surgery she was a little more peppy than she has been so that's good) So everyone wanted to see her in case this is the last time we get to. I went back there to see her and didn't even stayed a min. I couldn't take it. For starters I am not a hospital person. They creep me out. So that was making me panic just being in that room with all that stuff. But also to see her that way was just to much. So I left. Everyone has been taking turns going in there to see her but I won't go in again. So now some of us have had to go home but the rest of us are just sitting here in the waiting room. This surgery will take at least 3 hrs. So we'll be here till late tonight. And dad and I are heading back to Albany tonight when G-mommy gets out of surgery. So no telling when we'll be getting home tonight. But for now it's just a waiting game. . . . .

DREAM BIG
It's unrealistic for me to dream about love or being happy in a relationship. If I'm gonna have unrealistic dreams in life I'm gonna make them BIG!
I want to FLY!
I'm not talking about on an airplane I'm talking about superman flying!
LOL just my thought for the day . . .

my note
i love this song! it's amazing!
"Note to God" preformed Charice
"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" - "Evan Almighty"
My soul is swept away by all the things that You do for me each day. I prayed for strength and You present opportunities for me to be strong. I prayed for courage and You gave me the opportunity to be courageous. I pray that Your love will fill my life and over flow and I can feel You pouring everyday. I pour my heart out most days and others I keep it locked away. I pray for the faith to carry on when all my hope is gone. I pray for peace to ease my heart and mind and You provide that. I pray for the wisdom to not make the same mistake twice and possibly keep from making new ones. You have brought so many good things into my life lately and I am incredibly thankful for them all. I am closer to my family, closer to my friends. I have a new job that is scary yet exciting and I know that You closed all other doors and laid this one in my lap for a reason. I know that with You by my side, with You carrying me I can do it, I can do anything. The only love I pray for is Yours. I don't know what I need and what I want changes by the seconds. It leaves me confused and exhausted so I leave it in Your hands. I know that whatever is meant to be will happen. I know that I can't go back to how things were, I won't relive those mistakes, those times of hopelessness and doubt. There were times of wonder and love but it's not enough, it won't get me through the bad times. It doesn't even out. Sometimes love isn't enough. But that's only human love. Your love is more than anyone can fathom. I know that I have fears that I might not ever over come but I know that with You working in my life in time I might be able to over come them, I know that it will be very difficult and there will be times when I want to quit but I know that You can push me through. I don't know what Your plans are for me whether I'll love again or not but whatever Your plan is for my life I know that it's for the best. I know that when my thoughts and feelings are cloudy Your always there, a shinning light guiding me through to the other side. And although I haven't made it there yet I know that better days lay ahead for me. Once I'm through this fog and over this mountain You have great things in store my life. I can already see them in motion. I don't know where they'll lead me but I trust in Your plan. I know that whatever the future holds for me that Your in control and that gives me comfort. I know that sometimes I fight You because I'm afraid of where it might take me but I know that You'll get me through one way or another. I know that I am never truly alone. That You are always with me and I can feel You, I can talk to You any time I want. You have also blessed me with the most amazing friends. They are always there for me, always praying for me. I can send out a text and within a matter of minutes my phone is going crazy with all the reply's. I think that they are some of Your best work, but my opinion is probably a bias one. I know that life will always have it's up and downs, it's hard times and good times. There will be moments when I want to give in, give up, just run away and leave it all behind but Your there for me. I know that there will also be moments of amazement and aw struck wonder. And I will hold out for those moments. I will face the bad and push my way through any pain life throws my way because I believe in Your plans for me and I want to see them through. And when the day comes that I am with You in Heaven I will fall before You and thank You for the amazing life that You have blessed me with. I already fall before You in thanks for this amazing life that you have blessed me with. The world may be in trouble and I may be in pain right now but this will all work out for Your glory in the end. You have given me life and You have fought for me to stay here. I love You.

what a great weekend!
So I'm changing up my post about saturday. Mainly because my whole weekend was great, so I'm going to share it all. Don't get me wrong now I am still going through a rough time. There were definately PLENTY of times friday night, alllll day saturday, and sunday when I was sad or angry or whatever. Moments when I had to turn around because people were being sweet, mushie, holding each other, kissing each other, whatever, and I didn't want think about crap. But I'm not going to talk about them. I'm only going to try and talk about the good things. Because the sad times don't make anything better or easier so no use talking about them now.
Friday I worked at the elections office and got off at 2 which was nice. So I went home took a shower and bummed around the house for a few hours. Then I had supper with my dad, and aunt penny and uncle gary. It was a nice supper. Then I went with them to the Albany Theater. My parents have season tickets and go to all the shows but this time my mom couldn't go because she had to take care of my gmommy up in atlanta. So I went with my dad. I know I'm sweet hahahahaha. . . . It was a pretty good play. The first half was kinda boring, dad kept falling asleep so that was kind of funny getting to push his elbo off the arm rest and watch him pop up. lol. The second half of the play though was really good and the ending was pretty funny. (I'm actually thinking about trying out for "guys and dolls" in the spring, but I dont know). So Friday was really nice.
Saturday was the best day I've had in such a long time! I slept "late" ha like 8:30 lol. I layed in bed till 9:30 and bummed around the house in the morning, ate lunch and then went shopping with my friend Brooke. We had a great time. I got 2 new pairs of shoes and some sweaters. I was very excited about the shoes hahahaha. Anyways I ate supper with my friend Betsy which was wonderful. We don't get to see each other very often cause she lives in Augusta, Ga. and we both have jobs and stay busy so it's always great when we get the chance to hangout and catch up. So we ate and talked for a few hours. It was so great. And then I went out with Brooke again. We were with her boyfriend, his brother and fiance, and some of their friends. While we were out we saw some people we hadn't seen in a long time and got to catch up with them. And I even got a bartenders phone number HA HA HA HA HA. . . . I told him that I had recently gotten out of a really long and bad relationship and wasn't ready to hangout with anyone like that, but thanks for the offer. I wanted to be nice about it. It was so funny. I knew the guy cause we went to high school together but he's TOTALLY NOT my type at all, and I'm not looking for anyone. I'm trying to stay away from situations like that. You know guy friends, single guys, pretty much anyone that might hit on me lol. That's not what I need right now. I need to be on my own. And I'm doing pretty well with that. But anyways it was still a nice gesture. Made me feel good anyways. Getting hit on always makes girls feel good. hahaha. . . . To know that someone thinks your pretty or funny or fun to hangout with. But the day was filled with lots of talking and lots of laughing. Gah did I laugh so much and so hard. It was a wonderful day.
Sunday I got to sleep in "late" again lol. Layed around the house until my dad got home for lunch. We made a pizza and it was hilarious! Ok so you have to understand that my dad is like a workaholic, He's a lawyer and he owns a lot of realty properties in which he does 99% of the repairs on so he works behind a desk a lot and he works with tools a lot but kitchen appliences are not his thing. He mixed the dough himself and then I sprayed the pan and layed out the dough. While I was doing that he was TRYING to open the can of pizza sauce. He could not figure out how to use the can opener to save his life! I was cracking up!!!! I couldn't help him cause my hands were covered in oil from the dough so I just tried telling him how to work it. See our can opener is one that you place on top of the can and not on the side and then turn the knob thing just like all the other can openers. Well he was trying to put it on the side of the can and of course it wouldn't stay. I just kept saying "no it goes on the top of the can. No just lay it flat on there. Not like that just hold the can opener out straight infront of you and lay it down on top of the can. Now close it together". Once he finally got the can opener on the can he held it up like it was magicly going to work by itself now. lol. So then I had to tell him "ok now you have to turn the knob". Finally he got it but it was so funny I was laughing so hard at him. He just kept saying,"I've never seen this can opener before!". Really dad!?! Because it's the only one we've ever had since we've been living in this house! But we finally got the pizza made and everything and it was a pretty good pizza. Saturday afternoon I spent with one of my bestfriends Stephanie Hand, her boyfriend Josh and her dog Sadie. We went to Turtle Park and I took pictures of them. It was a beautiful day for it and we had a great time. The pictures look so good. I'm really excited about them.
So that was my weekend. It was filled with family, friends, catching up, shooting pictures, and laughter.
