Praying for...

All the Knoxville kids who left for Frontier this week. Hoping they experience a side of Jesus they've never seen before, and that they leave with a changed heart. Also praying for the leaders who are there will them. I pray they are fully equipped as they are being the hands and feet of Jesus. Frontier changed my heart and I can only hope and pray that it changes these kids hearts too :)

I Just Want...

TO BE AT THE BEACH RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND. It's driving me crazy. I've never craved the beach this badly before, and our family vaca isn't until the first week of July! I just really want to go next month with friends. It's all I think about! Get me to the beach NOW!


Oh yeah, while I'm here, I'm going to go ahead and brag on myself. I made really good grades this semester. All A's and 1 B in Chemistry! And I'm honestly surprised I even got a B because I got a 55 on my final....but hey, that was actually a decent grade. I'm just really proud of myself, because that class kicked my butt!

If you really knew me you would know that I'm getting really fat and I can't stop eating everything I see.

Hiking, Step, and 8th Grade Dance

The past few days have been pretty eventul, fortunately. On Thursday Jane, Jessica, and myself went hiking at House Mountain. It was so great! I always forget how much I love it until I do it again. I just love being outside in the trees on a mountain. It just reminds me of how awesome God is. No, he didn't make 1 or 2 kinds of trees....he made a million types of trees! And plants. And insects. And animals. It's just so cool to think about. Friday morning, Jessica and I went to a step class at Central Baptist Church. I went in thinking it was going to just be a good littl workout, and I MIGHT just break a swear. Holy crap! It was so intense. And it was pretty difficult. But I loved it! I hope we keep going back. Also, yesterday was my sisters 8th grade dance! Aka the most important day in any middle schoolers life. She got out of school early, got her hair done, and mom and I did her makeup. She is seriously gorgeous and she doesn't even know it! I'll have to post some pics. She looks SO old!! I just wanted to brag on her cause she's so cute.


If you really knew me you would know that I love to go grocery shopping with my mom.

1 down, 3 or more to go.

Yes, my title refers to the years of school I have left. I have officially and successfully completed my freshman year of college!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAT!? Yeah, that's whats going through my head right now. I'm kind of freaking out a little bit, because I honestly don't know where this year went. It's gone. In 3 short months I'm going to be a sophomore in college. That seems so old! And I'll be 19! I don't like the sound of that. This whole aging crap is getting weird. And I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I still feel like I'm 12. I call my mom about everything, I love home, I go every where with my mom, she does my laundry, she makes me food....so really I guess I haven't grown up at all. I'm 18....but not really. I took my last final this morning and I hope I did good. It wasn't awful, so that's a plus. I just hope I can get a C in Chemisry. That's all I want. If I get a C- and have to take it again I will cry like a baby all summer long. I'll still cry if I get a C, but at least I won't have to take it again. That class was ridiculous. I get frustrated talking about it so I'm going to stop. Well, my summer has officially began. Summer 2011.....gonna be heaven.

If you really knew me you would know that I want to learn to play golf.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to the best, greatest, coolest, awesomest, neatest, radest, sweetest (sometimes) mama in the whole world! Even though we fought like all day today....imagine that. She's still the best though. Love you, mama bear!

1081 Paxton Drive

I officially reside back in my location of 1081 Paxton Drive...aka...Mom's crib. It's bittersweet, really it is. I LOVE home. I'm pretty much obsessed with it. But I already miss being on campus. On campus I had Jane and friends and food and stuff to do whenever I wanted. At home, I have no friends. Mom works all day. Sister is at school. Well, I take that back. I do have the dogs. But they're already on my nerves. Basically, I just sit all day and watch tv. Yesterday I cleaned my room and vaccumed the upstairs for mom, but that took all of about 2 hours. So I was bored by 12. I need to go on a walk or tan or something! But I'm just too lazy to even get up. I think I'm just mourning the loss of my dorm room. I hope the next 2 girls that reside in Humes Hall room 520 AB enjoy it as much as Jane and I did. It was a great room. I'll miss it forever and always. Well, happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. I want Monterrey right now!

If you really knew me you would know that I eat at Monterrey at least once a week.

Cheerleading

Yes, I'm done with cheerleading for the rest of my life; however, cheerleading is definitely apart of my life for the long run. Yesterday my sister had tryouts for high school at Central and my best friend, Courtney had her last round of tryouts at UT! Needless to say, it was a big day yesterday. I was a nervous wreck. The night before I had worked with my sister all night on her cheer chant and dance just making sure she had it perfect. Yesterday morning we got up really early and got her ready and went over everything one more time! She had to be at school by 8:45 and then tryouts started at 9. I was texting her all morning trying to see if anybody cried after their tryout or if anybody said they messed up. Haha, I wanted the scoop! Jordans group was about to go so mom and I headed to the school around 11. Well, they were done with everybody by then but then like an hour and a half later they had call backs....and my sister got called back. I was seriously peeing on myself. Actually, I was crying. I was so nervous for her. I KNOW she is good. But I also know that Central has a history of not having fair cheerleading tryouts....so that's what I was nervous for. Long story short, my cute little sister is now a high school cheerleader! And I couldn't be more proud of her. She worked her butt off and she deserved that spot. I can't wait to teach her all the chants and drum chants! She's going to be the best one :) As for Court, last night around 12:30 I got a text from her saying I'm A UT CHEERLEADER! I am soooooo proud of her. Like seriously, she has worked her butt off these last few months. She would tumble everyday for like 3 hours. That's some serious dedication. I am so proud of both of them. I can't wait to watch Court cheering at all the football and basketball games! I'll be pointing and screaming...THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!! Love you both, Jordy and Court! Y'all rock!
