Ok so I wasnt planning on really updating but since things are really good right now- i will! This was my first week of school- yay for 2nd year of college! I think its going to be a great semester but OMG its going to be challenging! Ive NEVER had to work very hard on sign language but this semester- that changes. lol. God is saying, "Its time youre challenged."

Anyways- Keep me in your prayers- On October 4th (Which really isnt TOO FAR AWAY) I have to take the QAST Test, which is a state test that is only offered every once in awhile... its $50.00 for like 25-50 questions on like the Code of Ethics and stuff. If i pass it with an 80% or better...i will be CERTIFIED TO INTERPRET!!!!!!!!!!!! yea i cant believe im already having to take the test! i still have another year at least of my degree...but hey! just pray for me bc i would LOVE to be certified! Things are finally happening and its exciting!

Within the past 3 days i have spent over 23 hrs signing... whether it be in class or out with my deaf friends afterwards! lol.  My hands are VERY swollen and they hurt really bad but i still LOVE IT!

I have also been spending ALOT of time with Steve this week- mainly on the phone, getting to know him but OMG you guys! Lets just say....There are Good guys out there! :) ok well thats about it for now- i gotta get to work! Have a great weekend!

Hey loves:

so things are turning around slowly- but surely. for those of you who don't know the results of my car accident- i have no fractures in my neck, thank god. I am just suffering from severe whipflash- and have a neckbrace for a few weeks. i start physical therapy either next week or the week after, i just started going to the chiropractor again TODAY actually... and the doctor put me on some medication for the pain. My car is totalled for sure though- i just finished cleaning it out tonight... That was actually harder and more depressing than i thought it was going to be. haha. i guess im going to miss that spoiled car! haha.

today is my parent's 10th wedding anniversary!!! They are getting ready to leave for Mexico for their anniversary- and Vanessa and steve stacy are going as well. So- i am going to be taking care of Shelby Stacy, abbey stacy, and my brothers andrew, and ryan...lol pray for me! haha.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and my recovery. Your prayers are awesome!!

Hey Loves:

Life is pretty good! I just got home from daytona last sunday- i miss the beach. haha. I have many pictures on my facebook and my myspace so go check them out guys!! comment on them too! xoxo

anyways- Thursday (TOMORROW) is my LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!!! yay! I have to take my final and makeup my demo and thats IT! yay! as of right now i still have an A in the class too!

I am about to go to the dr to get my neck xrays taken. For those of you who dont know- i got in a car accident on monday night. A man ran into the back of my car, going close to 50mph- and i was at a complete stop leaving 2 car spaces between me and the car in front of me. When he hit- it pushed me into the car in front of me, so i became the middle car- SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE CARS! I am ok- thankfully. but i cant move my neck so i gotta get it checked out. Thank you for all the prayers! you guys are the best!

So this weekend- Friday night i think im going to be with the Why Not girls for dinner and games, and then i think i may get to hang out with nick! im hoping hes not working. Ok well things are pretty good! Leave some comments! xoxo
