Hey!

wow.this week has really flown by!! I feel like when I walk out of a&p and micro my head is spinning. we talk about sooo much in class, esp. in a&p, and when I walk out of the room all I say to myself is that I need to go home for about 2 hours and just sit down and STUDY!!! aaarrrggg!!! Man high school so wasn't like this. haha but ya know I'm paying for college so I guess it's worth it to study. I got my first huge test in micro on Mon. and well right now I aint too confident, so you can guess what kind of wild weekend I will be having.... uh let's see.....coffee in my pj's and on the couch with complete silence looking over every last note i took in micro!fun fun! Ms. Taylor's already started giving us those xtra credit quizzes, which are very helpful. but what is it about quizzes that no matter how many times you go over something, if it's worded a little differently, you go completely blank??

anyway.....I've been kinda waiting on god to show me a way that I can use the talent he has given me and sing....and yet stay in school...and this week he answered my prayers!! Christian called me and asked me if I would lead worship with him on wed. nights at tull. first baptist church! of course I was already sold and ready to go for it...then he said that they were willing to pay us too! wow God is good! The funny part is thast when we actually went there yest. the youth minister asked us when we wanted to get paid and we both decided weekly...and he was like that's cool...how should we divide it up...christian you get 50% and Bethany you could get 25%? I was like well.. ok.. and christian spoke up...and now we get paid 50-50. ha.....thne right when we were about to go up and sing and stuff drew cleek was announcing us...well christian really.....he wa slike alright everyone let's welcome christian!!!! he's so talented yall are really goign to enjoy him....dadada and here i am walking up on stage behind him waiting to get drew's mike and i felt so retarded......but that's ok it's not about me... blair actually asked me to sing with him at a church 2 hours away from nashville on monday and i am now waiting on a reply from my micro teacher telling me if it's ok to leave lab early....

wow...i typed a lot of junk.....

bye! ha

 Wow....

It's amazing to look back and think about the way things change...I'm 19 years old and I'm married and no longer under my parents control. when i think about it I'm excited that that is indeed facutal, however; sometimes i's really emotional too. here lately I've kinda been missing home. me and bret are sooo happy and everything is going wonderfully. but sometimes i find myself thinking about what things were like when i was a child. how uncomplicated! wow. i can remember giong easter agg hunting in the spring/summer time at my grandparents house. and i remember those huge dresses my grandmother made for us to wear that day... and my hair.. hahaha well, she's in heaven now... and i miss her so much. i can remember my sister and me and my cousin kristin apending the night in their house in cowan and waking up to the sound of her getting out pans ang bowls for making homemade biscuits. you know, i never really liked the way they tasted when they were cooked. id rather eat the dough.anyway, it's been about 5 or more years since she went to Heaven, but I still can't seem to get rid of the pain of knowing that I have no idea how long it's going to be before I see her again. I know it could be tomorrow if God chose...but still i think about how lonng it could be too. it seems like she's been gone forever. there's so much I want to tell her. I want to ask her what her special secret to her pot roast was.. cause no matter how hard i try to cook it jsut right, it's not the same. and i hate to say it.. but my mom's isn't the same either. i wish i could go over to her house and talk and laugh with her while bret's at work. more than that i wish bret could have at least met her.....as i sit here mad again at myself for getting upset about her.....it stil just feels good to know that i haven't forgotten about her.

I wasn't planning on writing sad stuff, but it  was what was on my mind. on the bright side of the spectrum, at least I know that she is in heaven. that's more than some ppl have.so that adds some joy to my heart, along with a couple ounces of peace, and hope of knowing I WILL SEE HER AGAIN!!!!

YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for reading....

Hey!!

All day I've been thinking about the fact that school starts bak tomorrow. Maybe I should just tell everyone that I've ben "praying" about it...and I've decided that I'm not going to go to schol afterall....I'm just going to pack my bags and load Bret and Macey in the car and travel to South Carolina where th most new christian voices are beng discovered and just hope and pray that I'll be the next great discovered talent!!

        ok...so it's not really realistic or practical or any other horible word..but it is my dream...and well I suppose it's ok to do that...aahhhh....what a great dream!

Anyway! I think that I'm ready for school tomorrow. It's crazy that it's been a whole month since I've sat in a classroom. what a blessing! my schedule is really tough this semester. i'm taking a&p, microbiology,med. terms, math/health professionals...blah it's going to be tough but i know God's going to help me. i really want to be ready for class and already have my books b4 school started back so i of course waited til the day b4  and decided to travel to mscc and purchase my books, but the campus was closed. DANGIT! so now I must gather my strength tomorrow morning and get up early to go get my books.

Bret's doing rely good.but he has to work 13 hrs. today, tomorrow, and wed. then this wekend he's got to go to drill fo three days. my poor baby. on top of that he's working the worst hours. he goes into work at 4 in the afternon and gets off work at 5:30 in the morning. and to be able to get a full 8 hrs. of sleep he has to come straight home and go to bed. which we both know is not possible. so needless to say he's going to be deprived of sleep for a while. but in a month or so he will have a chance to go to day shift! which will be wonderful.

anyhoo....i must leev and head to bed.

c-ya!
