Happy Birthday Brother!

Today is my brothers birthday!  It is still hard to realize that he is now 27!  Even crazier for me to think I will be 21 next month!  I hate to think sometimes that life seems to be going by way too fast.  I was always the girl who never wanted to get rid of things in my room because I hated change.  I have gotten better since then, but I'm still secretly not the biggest fan on change.  I love making new memories, but it would be so nice to be able to relive any good memory you wanted at any time (now i'm not talking about just thinking about one...actually going back in time and experiencing the same way again). Well sometimes I actually miss Chris and I living under the same roof, and him driving me crazy.  I miss being scared at night from thinking a monster would come and get me.  But I would always keep my door open to look over in Chris's room, and see him tell me "I'm right here.  Nothing is going to happen,  Your ok.  Chris being a big brother entitled him to pick on me, look after me, and not show much affection.  So of course when he would act like a loving brother it took me by surprise (but I loved every minute of it).  I think the moment we decided to change our actions was when he went into the army.  I always knew I would regret the way we acted if anything were to happen to him.  Long story short we have been through alot together.  He has taught me to be strong through anything, enjoy life to the fullest, be brave even in scary situations, and try to have a positive outlook on life no matter the circumstances.  I really couldn't have gotten any luckier by getting him as my big brother.  From the time I was born he has taken care of me, watched out for me, given scary talks to old boyfriends, played with me, comforted me, loved me, and been the best big brother I could have hoped for.  I love you Chris, and I would give up my life just for you to take one more breath.  I only hope I have been the sister you have always needed. 

Happy Birthday Bubba, your birth is definitely something to celebrate!

Church Camp

Wow...first off I can't believe I have been away for so long.  I really need to get better at that!  A week ago I returned from church camp.  I can't tell you how good it felt to be back again.  Taylor Christian Camp has always had a special place in my heart.  Alot of my childhood memories from 11 to 17 were from camp.  It broke my heart the years after when I couldn't come back.  This time was alot different since one of my best friends Keah and I were counselors for 3rd-5th.  We had 5 amazing little girls!  Unfortunatley 2 of them got sick and had to go home.  But other then that the girls were such great listeners, and a blast to be around!  Thank you girls for any amazing week!  I miss ya'll already!  Here are few pictures of our amazing cabin!

These girls were hilarious!

And I couldn't have done it without my partner...Ms. Keah!

I had a great week, and can't wait to do it again!  I will try to post more pictures later!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm Loving...that me and Brandon are going to see Becky and Maysen tomorrow!

I'm Loving...that me and my amazing friend Keah are going to be counselors for 5 little girls at the church camp we went to as kids next week!

I'm Loving...that Teen Mom is back on with the original cast!  I wish I could stay away from reality TV, but it's so addicting haha.

I'm Loving...there is only 2 more days of work while we are short one person.  Next time I go back to work I won't have to run around like a chicken with its head cut off!

And of course I am always Loving...Brandon and Kaiser :)

Childhood Friends...The Best Kind :)

First off...wow I really need to get on here more!  Lately I have barely been able to, or I'm just too tired to do anything.  Ahhh the joys of working all the time.  Well even though this is late I thought I would still share it with ya'll.  So a week or two ago me and Brandon were going to get some food for Kaiser.  While we are in the parking lot someone starts honking at us.  My first thought is "Oh gosh Brandon has made someone mad since he was driving".  But when I looked up I was so happy to see it was my best friend since 1st grade waving at me with a big smile on her face.  It seemed like we hadn't talked in forever, and I couldnt remember the last time we spent a day together.  All through our school years we were inseperable, mostly junior and senior year.  But sometimes life gets in the way, and you lose contact with people that mean the most.  That's pretty much what happened to us.  We went off to different schools.  She got pregnant with twins.  So we began to have less and less time to be what we use to be.  Of course it broke my heart that I felt like I was losing my best friend.  Sometimes I thought it would really never be the same again.  I would cry about it, but I tried to think it would play out the way it was meant to.  So when I saw her two weeks ago you couldnt imagine how happy I was that I could finally spend time with her.  It made it even more special she had felt the same way I did about our whole situation.  So we ended up talking in the parking lot for 2 1/2 hours..standing in the middle of open spaces.  I'm sure it annoyed some people, but I barely noticed.  After that we finally realized why not just go back to someones place instead of standing out here.  We ate, talked, laughed about nothing, and of course relived all of the random things we use to do.  It really felt like it use to be this time.  Other times it seemed like we just lost too much time together.  But this reassured me that we will always be the same..I don't think either one of us will ever give up on our friendship!
