D-I-T-H.......

......DYING IN TEXAS HEAT (it's as close to DEATH as I could get :)! Ay-ay-ay! It is SOOOO HOT in Texas! Right now it's 100°F but it feels like 130°F! Geeze Louise! This weather is not meant for humans! :) But despite the weather everyone around here has been busy as bee's. Anyhow, here are a few random pictures from last month (all the Spanish service pics did not turn out).

Bro. Nance preaching our Anniversary Services

My dad speaking at our Anniversary services Our AWESOME Leaders! My last day to see my baby girl :'(

I am beginning to sound like an old lady...all I have to talk about is the weather. :)

Until next time......

Shaking in my boots!

Today is the day! I am going to have to try to describe one of my best friends with just a few words at her 13th Birthday Ceremony. I have been going through some pictures and videos we have taken in the past years. OH MY WORD!!!! We have had some HILARIOUS moments! I watched the videos again and I was laughing so hard I was crying! She won't let me post any though....I am surprised she still likes me after the pictures I have posted of her already. :) When we are together we have the time of our lives. Sometimes I forget she is 4 years younger than me though...which is a good thing! ;) Alaina, when you read this (and I know you will because I am posting more pictures. lol!) I want you to know I love you and I will always be here for you. I know we have had our up's and down's together but friendship is about sticking together through it all...and we are certainly still living. :) I hope you have a great birthday celebration! P.S. Don't forget to sneeze....I will bring some kleenex's with me! :)

Alaina's first youth trip as a teenager! 2010

~Heritage 2010

Heritage was great this year! The night services were UH-MA-ZING! Definitely changed my life for good! I got to hang out with some great friends from my youth group and with some of my best friends from out of town and got to meet more friends! I had a fun experiance at the hotel too! :) Let's just say we had a VERY grumpy neighbor who threatened to call the police on us if we didn't quit talking because she had to get up at 4:00 am....scared everyone half to death! On the way back our plane got delayed with us on it (they had to call out some people to look at it). Michelle was kind of freaking out about it and i was having fun at her expence! :) I made sure I didn't tell my mom about our delayed plane until I got home and I am glad I didn't because she freaked out and I wasn't even on the plane! :) The nature of a Mother...espcially since this was my first trip to ride a plane! :) Here are several of pictures....the rest will be posted on my Face Book.

It was so good to be with some of my best friends! Just to see their smiling faces made the trip worth while!

HaPpY 13th BiRtHdAy!

Just wanted to wish Alaina a VERY happy birthday! She is one of the greatest friends in the world! She is hilarious and never fails to make me laugh, she has a very sweet personality....I could go on forever! :) I hope she has a very Happy 13th Birthday! :) WELCOME TO THE YOUTH GROUP, Alaina! I cannot wait until we get to people watch at the Air Port this week! :)

Love you, girl!

It's okay people.....we decided to keep our day jobs and NOT be clothing designers :)

P.S. She is going to hate me for this! :)

Way OVERDUE post! :)

I apologize for being tardy! :D I have had a couple of people ask about my pictures from our family vacation....so here they are! :)

For all of you who might think my mom doesn't talk....there's proof in the picture! :)

Hahaha! Y'all waited all this time for these puny pictures...pretty horrible, huh?! LOL! My brothers camera has better pictures on it....so now you are waiting on him not me! :)

Upcoming Post: Our 30th Church Anniversary, Our first Spanish Service in the Chapel and a post of different pictures...first I have to go through 5, 916 photos on my camera so I can find the ones I want. :)

Happy Fathers Day!

A BIG "Happy Fathers Day" to my dad! He is the greatest and I love him SOOOOO much! I hope he has a very awesome day! And, to all of the other fathers out there....I am pretty sure there isn't any more fathers reading this junk! But if so...... I am wishing you a Happy Fathers Day! Daddy's Rule! :) P.S. I have no (nice) current pictures of me and my dad (and I am not putting any embarrassing ones up here...which means....no childhood pictures:) but, that will change tomorrow! Adios, amigos!

Vacation....with few pictures :(

We got back from San Antonio a couple of hours...and boy am I glad to be home! My family and I had so much fun! But, after the second day I was starting to get homesick and was singing "On the road again, on the road again...I can't wait to get on the road again!" Pathetic, huh?! :) We went to the Riverwalk Tuesday.......and we had some pretty fun experiances there! I will explain in the next post....Wednesday we went to the Alamo, Tursday we went to Sea World, Friday was rest day :) and Saturday we went to Sea World again, then headed home around 7:00. "The Tale of Few Pictures." We were heading out of our house and I had a total brain burp. I couldn't remember if I had packed my battery charger for my camera or not (Britt, girls can have sometimers too! lol!) and my camera is not one that you can just pop some double A's in either....NO it's a $30 battery that you have to order online and wait 4 to 6 days to get. So, I ran back inside and tore my room apart looking for the stinking thing (and I was getting rushed by the others who were ready to leave town). I was FREAKING OUT! Finally I gave up. I told my mom she was just going to have very few pictures because I couldn't find my charger...she was bummed! We got halfway thru the 3rd day and it went kerplunk. I was so upset!!!! The thought had never occured to me that when you think you pack something maybe you should check your suitcase for it! Well, when we got home I started unpacking my suitcase and lo and behold! I found it in one of the pockets in my suitcase. I was FURIOUS! LOL! I went and told my mom- she just shook her head and said "you had that silly thing all along and I could have got some more pictures." Thats when I laughed! :) At least my brother had his big ol' honkin' camera with him....although he only brought it the last day because he didn't want it to get wet. Lol! And, we all lived happily ever after....with the memories forever in our mind and hearts! :) ~THE END!

Stay Tuned...to this station right here...for more! :)
