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!!

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

Ok so I wont update obviously until i get back from my trip! I just wanted to ask everyone to pray for our safe trip down there, a fun time of course, and a time for me to relax and clear my head of some things that are happening in my life right now! it's somewhat frusturating because once again- it deals with my heart and my emotions! ugh. oh well- i know with prayer, God will take care of me and my situation!

I got to go to the silent dinner the other night and see my deaf friends! I met a new guy- Raymond! ohlala! HAHAH all i can say is IF I WERE MORE FLUENT in sign,.....oh man! I would be in heaven! hahahah. anyways- I hope everyone has a great week! Stay out of this nasty heat nonsense! omg my hair dried in 3 minutes when i walked outside! thats tellin me its HOT! lol. love ya lots!

Hey Loves:

Thank God we leave for Daytona Beach, Florida this Saturday!! yay! I REALLY need to get away from EVERYTHING and just spend some quality time where I can think! yay! So this week is going to be SO BUSY and pretty stressful- but then i have a week of NOTHING! :) I've got ALOT of school work to do before i leave- and to get ready for when i leave- i can do alot of studying on the ride there! yay! haha.

So I went to the mall with my mom yesterday! i loved it!! I really miss spending time with her, because shes working ALL THE TIME and im usually busy with something. it sucks to grow up in some areas of life! haha. But last night was fun! we went to dillards at woodland to get some clothes/swimsuit coverup for the trip- and then we of course had to do our tradition...and went to dairy queen to get our chocolate dipped ice creams! yumm. i think she just enjoys watching me STRUGGLE to eat it- because i get it EVERYWHERE_ and we sit in the MIDDLE of the mall when it happens! haha. it is pretty entertaining.

After we were finished my mom went to meet Vanessa stacy and i went to mardels. I got a couple of books to read! im so excited! ill be posting some notes from the book on my other xanga- www.xanga.com/xoxlittlegirlxox

Hope everyone is having a great week.

Hey Loves:

This week was good- long, but good. I miss Jared soo much- and were REALLY trying to figure out when he can come back, but it's just not working... Right now...i think our options are- him coming the 29th STRAIGHT FROM FALLS CREEK, the 1st weekend in aug. but my parents will be out of town- so he would have to stay somewhere else AND ill have like 4-5 kids to take care of, or the weekend after that- but were not sure when school starts so it could be a problem! Please Pray that a weekend opens up REALLY SOON for us- its so hard that he lives so far away. God always works things out though!

Anyways- not too much has happened this week- i didnt have to work monday or tues and i had no school on tuesday due to the 4th of july! yay. I took my midterm on Thursday- i think i did REALLY WELL. i know i missed 1 for sure- maybe 2 at the most! so yea im pretty content with how i did! I went and picked up my scholarship papers- hopefully i can still get scholarships... BECAUSE I AM ON PRESIDENT'S HONOR ROLL!!!!! My GPA is a 3.9! yay!

This weekend...I went to the Women's ministry praise and worship at the church last night- it was ok i guess...then i went to Two Few Forgotten's thing at the coffee house last night afterwards! They were playing! So we all hung out for a while. Im housesitting til the 14th and i leave the 15th for Daytona!! yay! im so ready to go! Today i am just relaxing and doing some studying and then at 7pm i get to babysit Emma! Tomorrow- (sunday)- I am going to be at the church THE WHOLE DAY! omg. lol. i hope everyone is having a good summer- its almost over. xoxo

So life is GREAT!! Jared and Caesar left to go back home last night...i miss them so much already! This weekend was amazing!!! They got here on Friday night around 9pm and we went and watched a movie- and then Saturday we hung out during the day, and then went to chilis for dinner- yumm. They are so funny> ok so at dinner they were saying hello and having small conversations with EVERY PERSON that would walk by.. lol. and jared was making faces at the kids that were in a window waiting to be seated- Caesar had kayla's purse and would SPAZ to get people's reactions as they walked by! omg i was laughing SO HARD! haha. Then saturday night- Jared, Allie and I went to a drive in movie! We went and saw Superman Returns and the LakeHouse. Except we all fell asleep during the lakehouse! haha. It was so nice out there though- omg. Under the stars watching a movie together! i loved it! I got to tuck my little sis (allie) in many times too! haha. All we needed was Nate to be there!

Sunday the guys went to church with us- they made friends with the whole church body in like an hour! haha. they met kayla's parents which was a good thing! Then sunday afternoon we all took a nap from like 2pm-5pm and then went to the Jacksons for fireworks! That was sooo much fun! I loved watching the fireworks with the guy i care about to much- and my parents really like him too! :)

So the guys went back home to marietta, oklahoma sunday night after the fireworks...its quiet here now. I miss them SOOO MUCH already! Jared and I are trying to figure out when they can come back! the summer is almost over though- im praying that he figures out where hes going to college. (how about TU or TCC) haha.

I also just got a letter in the mail saying i made President's honor roll!!!!!! That is the HIGHEST position you can get in school! yay!!! So first semester i made Dean's honor roll and then spring semester i made president's honor roll. My gpa for spring semester is a 4.0 and my overall gpa is a 3.89!!!! yay!!
