So I haven't posted in a while so here goes nothing...
Don't have anything different going on in my world as of now. just work school, work school... I do though have some great friends that are expecting babies! and that is very exciting, i want yall to know I keep you in my thoughts and prayers!! Halloween was good I guess, we went to a Halloween party at some riends from church house, and its always fun to see all the kiddos dressed up and see different costumes. I myself did not dress up this year for the first time in a while, cause i couldn't think of anything i wanted to be that was fairly easy and cheap, and also because it snuck up on me pretty fast! my how time flys these days! anyways I will hopefully be back next year in costume! hoping to maybe borrow one actually! ;) Next comes Thanksgiving! and I always love Thanksgiving, any excuse to hang out with family all day and eat like a pig, I'm in!! plus Thanksgiving is just another step closer to Christmas! I do love Christmas, but who doesn't like Christmas?! not a fan of thinking of something to buy everyone, but it's always nice to be able to get my family gifts! :) anyways, those are my thoughts for now! I hope you all survive this election day.... for i am READY for it to be over..... and have a great week! :)
I had to postpone my shopping trip! Boo! Well, it's kind of great because my family has decided to draw names this year instead of everybody buying for everybody. They've never given in to the idea before so I'm glad I can get one person a good gift and not a bunch of people lame gifts. :) I'm a pretty cheap Christmas shopper.
The rules are to tell 8 things about yourself:
(wish me luck, i'm awful at thinking on spot! hehe)
1. I have never actually broken a bone, but I do have a dint in my cheeckbone(from a track disc), and a piece of bone in my ankle!
2. I have played volleyball (and lots of other sports) for as long as I can remember, and it is still one of my absolute favorite things to do!! :)
3. I have a bad sweet tooth!! (to counter act you rach 4. I have two awesome friends that are pregnant! yay for playing with the babies! :)
5. even tho I have been in school FOREVER!! I am suppose to graduate next december! Fall '09 (yay, finally!)
6.I have a Dr. Pepper addiction! I try not to drink them all the time, but when I have a "coke" it's definately a Dr. Pepper!! :)
7.I don't like sea-food... fish, shrimp, catfish, any of it! blah!
8. Last but not least.... I discovered a new, very bad for you, sweet this year at the fair, and I recomend that you all try a deep fried snickers bar at least once in your life!! :) haha
One more thing I wanted to add... We have been having a great gospel meeting this week with Paul White, and I just wanted to let everyone know that we have already had 3 baptized this week!! It has been wonderful!! I'm sure we will finish off the week great! :)
I don't know if you read my last post, but it was about keeping my brother-in-law brady's dad Floy McAlister in your prayers through his surgery. Well after surgery he had up's and down's and he did pass away today. :( It is a very sad time in my sister and brother-in-law's life as well as their family. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this grief. Thanks!
So earlier this week, like monday or tuesday there was a pending death or obituary in the paper, meaning the actualy obituary hadn't come out just yet, and well the guy who died, his name was Russell Scott! (for those of you who don't know, my dad's name is Russell Scott) yeah, there were people from my dad's extended family calling my grandad and asking if my dad had died, there was even two or three people that called our house! One guy we didn't know, he actually knew the other guy, and just looked up in the phone book and ended up calling us, but I have to say that I did not like all of this one bit! I don't like people asking me if my dad died, cause Russell Scott was in the paper, luckily the real Russell that died's obituary came out yesterday, and there was a pic and bio so people won't be confused any more, but that was just creepy! anyways... just an interesting event that happened this week in my family.
Another event that is happening this week, is very serious. my brother-in-law Brady, his dad Floyd McAlister is having his second brain surgery tomorrow, and I would pray that you all will keep him and his family in your prayers! This is a scary surgery for everyone, and like I said it is his second. He has a brain tumor that is cancer and they have taken it out once, but it has grown back and affected him pretty badly. He has already gotten pretty week over the past year or so because of the tumor growing back, so he needs all the prayers he can get to help him throug the surgery and recovery! I know that my sister and brother-in-law are worried and stressed about it all, so please keep them in your thoughts as well! Thanks so much!!
soo.. ALL of our family had a cook out last night at my sisters house!! and it was a blast! I think that everyone had fun! and We all rode 4-wheelers, and the kids swam and we had some good food!!! it was great, so I thought I would share just a few photos!!
