I Believe... Love is the Answer. I believe... Love will find the way.

I'd Do Anything
-Simple Plan-

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (....)

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I Believe
-Blessed Union of Souls-

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a n* from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

I tried to save the world but it fell onto my shoulders...

LOOK ITS BILLY TIEING HIS SHOE!!! Well... we really think its Billy atleast. Jamie and I came to the conclusion the other night that we believed it was him but we would let his mom see it and see what she thought... and she definitely thinks its him so isn't that exciting?!?

So yah... i really just wanted to see if I could get that picture to come up on my blog since I kinda stole it from the Academy website. You can see his Oath Ceremony BTW at USMA.EDU.. But its pretty long and I don't think you can ever actually see him but hey... if you get bored there ya go!

Anywho... so the past few days have been relatively uneventful.

I woke up Wenesday morning bright and early and headed down to VAP to run with the good ol PHS CC team...   We did 5 miles then I left and went to Sonic... :-\. I know... I'm a FrEaK! Anywho... so then I came home and wrote Billy a letter (I sent him my sonic receipt so he could see that I'm an addict who buys Powerade Slushes at 9:00 in the morning!)

So wednesday was my day off which was FANTABULOUS!!!   I didn't really do much but that's not always a bad thing. I went to Post Office... got some gas... went out to the mall and got a couple new shirts after returning some stuff... then went to Wal-Mart to buy some random stuff... saw MY DAD which was awesome cause he bought some of my stuff for me! woohoo! Then I went home and sat around for a little while.

Actually talked to Jonathan which was... nice... I was gonna go to Sevier Heights for their College Bible Study but  I went to church with Kayla and Michael.... Because I'm their child! We had pizza and some fun fellowship and what not... good times! Then a couple hours later I headed back to Powell to meet Chad, Chase, Kendall, Cherish, and Travis so we could all go see WAR OF THE WORLDS!!!! o my gooodness people... let me just tell you... we were all PHYSICALLY TIRED after watching that movie... it is SO INTENSE!! And it never really lets up... And I ususally don't like action movies like that but it was definitely a good see. I don't know what it was about it... but I really felt like I could breathe a sigh of relief when I walked out of the theatre. Def go see it if you get the chance... its a good one. I'm afraid its kinda a "one time" type of movie though... I don't think I would be able to really sit down and watch it again... but you never know. We saw it at the new PINACLE 18 or whatever its called which made it 10x cooler in my opinion! The free popcorn and lemonade wasn't too shaby either!

Anywho.... so after the movie I went home and went to bed!

I woke up Thursday morning about 8 and went back down to the VAP and did 6 miles on my own. IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY HOTTT!!!... But I made it through all right but I'm starting to get blisters on my feet from running longer distances again... but before you know it they'll me calusses (sp?) and I won't have to worry about them. And yes... I KNOW you all wanted to know that!! ;-)

After that I came home and took a shower and did some random stuff till I went into work at 1. I worked for about 4 hours... woohoo... then walked out to my car with my work boyfriend lol... then it was back home again for some weird times.

I got home... and all the sudden I got the worst headache EVER!! I don't know what it was. First off I prob shouldn't have written Billy's letter with a sharpie haha... that made me a little woozy... BUT... it just felt like I couldn't get out of bed once I laid down (to take what I thought was going to be a short "get rid of this stupid headache" nap).   MY MOM DAD AND BROTHER WENT TO GATTI'S AND I COULDN'T EVEN GET UP FOR THAT... and people.... I LOVES ME SOME Mr. GaTTi'S!! Something inside my body just kept me laying on that bed... it was REALLY WEIRD!

Right... so I finally got up around 10:30... got me a little something to eat and then went to bed.

I woke up bright and early this morning... took a shower... and headed to the office. I ended up having to drive to Halls for the mix day which actually ended up not being NEAR as bad as we thought it was going to. We only shot 39 kids... and when your expecting 55 that is AWESOME!! It was a set up/ tear down day though... but me and Leigh Ann (the other collector) didn't really have to set up cause by the time we got there -- they got there early-- they were pretty much already set up. so that was nice :-D

It was my first day working with Leigh Ann (I knew about her though through Martha, Chels, and Kayla) and it was SUPER FUN!!! She's awesome!!! We had so much fun talking cause her boyfriend Josh just left to go to the Air Force Academy!! So it was exciting talking about how we had no idea what him and Billy were doing and how weird it was that they were pretty much giving 4+ years of their life away to a school (not to mention the good 'ol US of A!). we also had a nice little time writing them letters and she made her boy some paper people like me and k did for Billy!! it was great great times!!!   And she's even gonna see if she can come with us to FlOrIda!!! That would be sooooooooooooo fun!!!!!!!! So I really hope she can go!!

Other fun news in the life of ME... Monday (The 4th Of July!) will be spent chillin by the PizOol at the Willis Residence!! :-D   I think Leigh Ann is going to be my date lol and I know mich, k, sam and mart are gonna be there so it should be lots of fun in the sun! Then I believe we are going to leave there and head to Max's house -- from what i understand -- and shoot off fireworks!!

So when we finally got off work around 7:30 (12 hour day... woohoo... not!) I came home and changed then headed down to the greenway with my mom. She walked it while I ran to Billy's house. HIS PARENTS AND SISTER WERE BACK!!! So i stopped in and talked to them for a good long while!! I got my present from Billy... I'M GONNA KILL HIM!! haha... ok NOT REALLY... at all.... but he won the stupid bet and I am highly preturbed!! lol And his mom and sister picked me out a realy cute West Point shirt! I'm very excited about it. Mrs. Mynatt said she put the letter he wrote me the night before he left in the mail today so she thinks I'll probably get it tomorrow! YAH! :-D

Well I guess I'm gonna head to bed. Haven't decided if I'm gonna get up and run in the morning or actually give myself a day to sleep in!!   Maybe I'll take the day off... who knows.

Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End

WOOHOO for blog entries cram packed with pictures!!!! YES!!! :-D

Anyway so I have A WHOLE BUNCH to say and all the time I want to say it... so be prepared!
;-)

So I suppose we can start with Friday...
I worked at Powell. It was a relatively good day... but still pretty weird considering we were all still in shock over losing Rebecca. Everything was pretty low key the whole day.

I did get excited, however, when Billy sent my a picture from West Point (where he pretty much spent the whole day on Friday)...

With it Billy Said, "This is where i will live. Its connected to where i will eat. The grass in the middle is the parade grounds. We got to ride a bus through the campus. Off in the distance we could see them practicing for R-day. The buildings are unbelievable how big and old they are. I was extremely excited when i found out the name of the town right outside the gates is highland falls. Do you know the significance of highland falls?"
So as you can tell he was pretty excited about his trip. And for those of you who don't know Summer Highland Falls is the name of a Billy Joel song... lol... so we know why Billy was excited about that one! :-)

So to make him happy I took a picture with Craig in his sexy tux to send back to him and let him know how much we already missed him!

O yah... and I'm totally stoked about my West Point sweatshirt I get to wear while he's gone! (I got that and Mikel got his birks LoL... hey he's not gonna be using em so why not?!?) haha Anywho... So like I said work wasn't all that bad. The wait got pretty bad... but nothing me and Jami couldn't handle. I think I might have gotten home around 7 or so. Then I went and ran about 4 miles BY MYSELF!! SAD TIMES!!!! But it was all good I guess... Michael picked me up half way down to the Middle School and drove me the rest of the way down there lol. That was rather interesting to say the least.

So after the run I went home and took a shower and chatted with Billy while I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some film... which has som pretty good pictures on it which I'm pretty happy about. I LOVE PICTURES... Have I ever mentioned that?!? lol So as I was getting off the phone I made my way to Sonic... cause o yah... that's right... I'm addicted to the Powerade Slush!!! So of course I had to take a picture with it and send it to Billy since its the first one I've had in a long while that he hasn't had the joy of paying for! lol

I know... I'm a dork... but I loved it so I figured it deserved ample blog time.

So I tried to go to bed relatively early so I could get up the next morning and run the Cove Lake 5k. We got there around 7 to check in and what not... stretched... warmed up... then ran. I ran it in 22:09 (for 3.1 miles) which isn't all that bad i suppose. The course was actually a lot harder than I thought it was going to be and in high school I ran a 3 mile course there in 21:something ususally... so i wasn't too disappointed. It made it ever more exciting that I got first in my age group (14-19) and I got a cool little trophy and everything! :-D Here's me and KT after the race...

And before we took that picture I got in the car to find that I had received a pix message from Billy which included the following...

So of course in a split second I was absolutely jealous!!! I mean... its perfect.... its even got the little yellow taxi in the bottom corner... you just can't beat that. It was also appropriately titled "Nuff Said". and his message with it was "Do I have to say anything else?" I was so excited for him! I can't wait till I get to go there one day!!! ;-)
Here are some more he sent me later Saturday night after they got back to their hotel...

Aren't they awesome?!?! His dad e-mailed me some really good ones as well... and those have Billy and his Fam in em so they're even better! (But they're just a little too large for me to put on here unless I wanted to take the time to resize them so these will just have to do for now!) They went and saw the Empire State building, saw The Prducers, and apparently Billy ate a hot dog from a real live NYC hot dog street vender! lol Get Excited!

So after the race and what not I went home and took a shower... took a shower little nap and then headed out West to get my Bride's Maid dress and shoes. I spent Flippin' $$100$$ (of my own money might I add) in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!! Now THAT is depressing! The dress is pretty cute though... I think I'll probably get it altered to where its shorter after the wedding and I may actually where it again sometime. And considering I'm going to have a 50$$ pair of dark purple shoes that won't match ANYTHING... I better atleast wear it more than once! But really though... I'm pretty excited about the wedding (Kayla is going to be my date lol) and all the fun stuff we're gonna get to do before. (It will be my first bachalorette party!... I don't think I'll stay in the room while the stripper is there though... that just disturbs me a little bit!) Anyway... moving on...

So I spent the majority of Saturday night at good Ol American Eagle...
Here's a random picture of my and my work friend Jennifer that I sent to Mark cause we had nothing better to do with ourselves lol.

I didn't end up getting out of there till 11 or so which is pretty sad considering we're usually out by 10 during closing shifts. They have got to learn 3 people can't close the whole store in less than an hour after a Saturday night!! goodness...

So I had a nice drive home and and even better couple hours once I got home. I think me and Billy had one of our most random long conversations... Something I'm definitely going to be missing these days so I'm glad I got to talk to him for a long while. Then when both of our batteries were about to die it was time for bed!

I woke up the next morning and headed to work. Had to do a bunch of cleaning and junk before we opened which I didn't enjoy all too much... but the day itself was pretty fun! I got to wear my new skirt too!! woohoo... O yah... I forgot to mention I bought myself a new skirt and tank top and got Stephanie a shirt as well. EVERYTHING IS ON SALE AT AE YA'LL! So if you need some new digs... and you got a little cash flow... it's the place to go... YO! Ok... wow... sorry bout that!

So after work I changed and headed over to Temple Baptist (in Ft. City) for Brittany's bridal shower. Gotta love being one of two girls under the age of 40 woohoo!!! Atleast there was cake though!! heck yes! Then I went over to Brittany and Bob's apartment and chatted with them for a little bit then headed back to my house.

Kay came by and we waited for Kara to get there and then the three of us headed out to Oak Ridge for Rebecca's receiving of friends. And man let me tell you... that was NOT EASY. Granted... we weren't best friends or anything like that but this girl really was an awesome person!! There's been a lot of people pass away in wrecks and what not over the past several years but I've never really known any of them. I mean... I worked with this girl for 12 hours... only a week ago. We talked about her going to college and getting her senior pictures done next year and I taught her how to use T9Word and her brand spankin' new cell phone... and now she's gone. I know all I can do is pray for her family and friends who are still very hurt by her loss im sure... but sometimes it just seems a little unfair.

I dunno... but like I said... it was a rough exprerience but when her dad met us he told us she used to come home everyday talking about how great all the Lifetouch people were and how much fun she had a work... so atleast her time this summer was enjoyable!

So after that we headed back home. Dropped Kara off at the Roach's. Then K and I went back to my house to change and head down to the track. Had a nice little chat with Andrew when we called Kara to see if she wanted to go... but it only ended up being the two of us.

On the way there Billy sent me this...

That was part of his "last supper" lol. I believe he said he went to TGI Friday's. YUMMY!!!

Then it was time for exercise. I actually got Kayla to run a whole mile! LoL (two laps... then we walked about 3... then ran two more). I was very proud of her!! Then Billy called and we had a nice short chat until his mom made him get off to sign thank you note he still hadn't finished haha.

Then we walked a little more then went to SoNiC... Betcha you can never guess what we got!!! ;-)

After that we went by Kayla's Mamaw's house. We sat and watched some really random stuff on TV... ATE... (MMM... CORN!!!... haha!)... Michael took this beautiful picture of himself... you can't really see it all that well but I think you get the picture...

Then Kayla took me back to my house and as I was getting ready for bed I got one last pix message from Mr. Mynatt. I told him I wanted a picture of him in his glasses and he gave me one! :-D

I think he was ready for bed! haha...

So I went to sleep and then I got a nice phone call from Billy (at 5:00 in the AM) and talked to him for the last time before he bacame an official "New Cadet". He said they were in the car on their way...   I was definitely sleepy but I was definitely awake enough to realize this was a SAD TIME!... but an exciting one just the same...

I went back to sleep for a few hours then got up and got ready for work. It was the last day at good ol PHS and please let me tell you it wasn't too fun! I got to work with Kayla though so that was definitely a big plus!

I'm not gonna lie... it was pretty busy... but we spent a large portion of the day writing Billy letters and coloring him pictures out of Kayla's big coloring book! haha We're really hoping he doesn't get in trouble or they don't make him do push-ups for them :-\. If he does I'm sure he'll let us know REAL QUICK! Mr. Kennedy and his kids came by too!! It was fun to see him cause I haven't seen that big hairy man in a while! I got him to write Billy a little note that I included with my letter. Alana wrote him one too!   So hopefully he enjoys that. I wonder how long it takes mail to get down there.... Guess we'll find out soon enough.

So yesterday was definitely a Tear Down day which is NEVER any fun... but it wasn't all that bad at the same time. I fell on MY FACE... LITERALLY!... out behind the cafeteria when we were loading the vans. Just ask Kay or the other girls on the crew and they'll tell you how freakin' funny it was!! Kinda scary... but still Very Funny!

We didn't leave the high school till about 8:45 and we had to go back to the office and clock out and what not. (YAH for 12 hour days!... NOT!!). So we were gonna go play tennis but since it was so late we decided to watch a movie instead. So Me, K, Mich, and Che-Ad watched BE COOL <--- POINTLESS WASTE OF TWO PERFECTLY USABLE HOURS OF YOUR LIFE!!! Trust me on this one... Just Say No!   So after the movie my friends left and I went to bed! It was raining outside so I fell asleep to the sound of rain falling on the roof... you can't beat that!

... woke up this morning... got ready for work. SCRUNCHED MY HAIR... I know... kinda WeIrD... but I was in the mood for a change from the norm. Met some of the crew at the office and then drove out to West High School. I work with Kayla AGAIN (and trust my I'm definitely not complaining!). It was pretty busy today... we shot 42 kids but it wasn't that bad since almost 75% of them got basics.

About half way through the day we tried to talk Mark into bringing us some food (since he only lives about 5 minutes away from the HS). BUT NOOOO... his car had to go and poop out on him so he couldn't. :-P This was our response to try and get him to find a way to come see us... haha...

It didn't work... but atleast we tried!!

We wrote Billy some letters again (and we're not obsessed or anything I swear... I've just heard from EVERYONE that the best thing to do for someone is BT is to KEEP WRITING. Everyone says getting mail is the best part of the whole experience so I'm just trying to do my part.) Kay and I didn't have her coloring book today but we got a little creative with a Tracking Card.... LoL...

And whether you try to deny it or not... YOU'VE GOTTA ADMIT THOSE ARE PRETTY DARN CUTE!!! haha Again we're really hoping he doesn't get in trouble or anything and he better appreciate it cause we were both pretty excited about it! lol

We had to use highlighters though so his brown eyes and my brown hair were a little hard to do. We were gonna try to make the girls hold hand and the guys be on the end but it didn't quite work out that way but we figured Michael and Billy at gay all the time anyway so we figured we'd leave it! WE EVEN GAVE HIM BCDs!!

Ok anyway... so we were at West till about 5:30 then we drove back the office.

I came home... changed... had a nice chat with my dad... then went down to the greenway to run. I did atleast 4 1/2. I saw Grubb and Brad which was rather interesting. I met up with Grubb and got to run with him back to the high school from Broadachres so that was fun.

Then I came home and now I'm sitting here trying to decided if I'm hungry enough to fix myself something to eat. I don't think I am... So I'll prob just go to my room... do some crunches and go to bed!

OOOOOO!!!! And the exciting new of the day is KAYLA IS DEFINITELY COMING TO THE BEACH AND DISNEY WORLD WITH ME!!!! I'm soo friggin' excited!! Now all we gotta do is find a place to stay (which is a little easier said than done) and work out some of the details...

Sorry I haven't updated in forever... this kinda turned into a little novel didn't it?? O well you can just be like Kayla and preschoolers and just read it for the pretty pictures right Kay?!? (what am I saying... she won't even read this far down since there aren't anymore pictures lol).

Gotta get up and run with the CC team in the morning at Victor Ashe Park. Gotta get ready for the Fireball 5k on Sunday night!! WooHoo!

Well I believe I'M DONE!!

I LOVE SUMMER!! I just wish it wasn't so "sticky icky hot down here in the dirty dirty south!" haha

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

"My Silence Is My Self Defense"

SSSSSAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD DDDDAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't cried yet though... and I won't gosh darn it! Don't get me wrong... I've come pretty darn close a few times in the last 36 hours or so... but I've stayed relatively strong! :-D

So yesterday was a pretty good day if i do say so myself. After I wrote my nice blog entry I was gonna do something productive BUT... i took a nap instead! I slept for atleast a good 3 hours or so then got up and took a shower and got ready. Made a nice little trip to Target to get Billy the Bowling for Soup CD he'd been wanting... then it was off to his house for the last time atleast for 4 or 5 days (which is a long time considering I've been there atleast every other day for the past month! lol). I got there just in time for the "WILD PARTY" right Billy?!? Anywho... his papaw was leaving just as I got there... it was definitely hard to watch them say goodbye to each other but we had a nice little prayer in his front yard which I think was good for all of us!

Then Me, Mikel, Craig, Billy, Gina, Steph, and his parents went inside and sat around and chatted for a bit. Lauren Rams came by... very good to see her! Then we watched the boys clean out Billy's jeep (that was def an adventure). Then Lauren and Craig left and it was off to take the Jeep to Gina's. We had a nice "bumpin'" ride there. I was priveledged enough to be the last person to ride in the passenger seat of Billy's Jeep (that is if they sell if before he comes back). Then Billy said bye to his Aunt Gina (Mikel and I retreated to the jeep for that... it was def a little emotional on her part).

Back to the Mynatt residence we went. Not after being challenged by the pride of Powell in a mini van going down Clinton Hwy. Yah... people are gay!

Anywho...

So we had a nice adventure in Billy's room for a little while. His mom is going to be so rich when she gets done cleaning that room... I'm jealous! haha Then Jamie stopped by and we all had fun watching Billy try on his combat boots and low quarters. (That was the moment for me when it really started to kick in that he was actually leaving.. :-( ).

Then I helped him pack up some stuff while his phone rang off the hook with people calling him to say goodbye and everything...
We took some pictures...

My phone has been takin some pretty blurry pictures lately...

Burned some CDs (all of which I am extremely excited about... especially "a random sampling of Billy's musical tastes" lol). Then we just sat around and enjoyed each others company. (He wore his glasses too how cute is that?!? Too bad I didn't get a picture of THAT Billy!) Doing what we do best... talking about the most random things and dancing to no music! *dont cry tiffany... dont cry!*

MOVING ON...
So I was there for quite a while (AGAIN... thank Heaven for POWER NAPS!) He left with his family about 6 this morning I guess... if they were on schedule that's when they left atleast. So I came home and took my nap and then got up to get ready for work. Got to work about 9:30 then worked till about 3. Chad came by looking for some shirts for work so I had a nice chat with him and we made a fun trip to Profitt's and found really cheap little boy's shirts that fit him! lol Then it was off to the doctor.

I have these sun bump things on my arms (i know you all wante to know that...) but the doctor said they don't look like anything to threatening and just to stay out of direct sunlight for a little while and they should clear up. If they don't... then I should maybe worry about it a ltittle more. He also gave me some more good news but I won't go into that on my plublically accessible blog!

While I was waiting of the doctor I found out that Billy was almost to Hershey, PA so that was exciting! They ended up going to a Chocolate World Tour! (how fun is that?!?) and a 3D show! I was this *holds up fingers close together* close to stowing away in the back of his moms car and going with them... now I officially wish I had!

^^^ That's a cupcake!! YUM!

So then I came home and I had a SUPER bad headache!! (which I haven't had in a long time... a good thing considering I used to get them practically every night while i was at school). So I skipped out on running (which would have been another sad event in itself... :-( ) and tried to take a nap.

I was woken up the first time... sadly... by Kayla who called to inform me that a girl we work with (SUPER SWEET... one of the collectors but sister in law of one of the photographers... fixin to be a junior at Temple... really pretty... ) died in a car accident this morning on Central Avenue right around that big curve before you get to Beaver Creek. I'm not exactly sure of all the details yet but it was really really really weird to hear considering I just worked with her on Monday at Powell! For those of you who were there... it was the girl sitting beside me at the table who was doing most of the dressing and stuff. Anyway... she was an awesome person who had a really good head on her shoulders so she's up in heaven celebrating right now but please keep her family, friends, and other co-workers in your thoughts and prayers... I'm sure they could use it.

Then I attempted to go back to sleep (with the company of Chanticlear ;-) ) for a little while but I was rudely interrupted by THE BEST PHONE CALL OF THE NIGHT!! lol So Mr. Mynatt and I had a nice little chat about his drive up to New York and all the stops along the way. From what I can tell he seems to be enjoying himself and his family time so I am very excited for him. I'm gonna miss him... don't get me wrong... but I'm really happy for him at the same time!

Anyway... so I came downstairs after our chat and what was in the kitchen?!? CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! O I was sooo happy! And it was pretty much still warm from being cooked a few hours earlier. I was in heaven! then I talked to Chad about his "just the guys" Bible Study and other random stuff...
Chadman18e:   you talk about happy guys
Chadman18e:   we were seriously giddy
Chadman18e:   we had pizza then we shot guns
^^ that really struck me funny at the time!

So as I sit here with my empty plate and continuously pounding headache I am reminded of how much i enjoy my slumber so I believe that is what I'm going to go do right now.

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE! ;-)

And So It Goes
-Billy Joel-

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

Thank you sooo much for being the wonderful friend you have been the past couple months!! I'm so glad we've become this close and to be honest, I'm going to miss you way more than I ever thought I would!! I hope your life takes you where ever you want it to go... Just as long as it brings you back to me eventually so all of our wedding and home design dreams can become reality! :-D We'll see who wins the bet!... And I have a plan, so you better watch out and learn how to do cartwheels down hill! ;-) You have my love and extreme admiration... be good... "Train to Fight. Fight to Win."
