HEY! It's Thursday!!! Well, yesterday was a good day. I worked and then went home and rested up and washed some clothes for awhile. Then @ 7 I went to pick up Marci ather dorm. SHe rode with me to Target to buy stuff for my trip. I got 2 cameras, some hair stuff, and I got a "thank you" gift for Kristi for letting me come & stay a WHOLE week with her & her family! =) I also got a card for the whole family saying "thank you". I bought some "Hello Kitty" air freshner things to hang in my car. They are super cute and they smell like Bubblegum!! Straight up. Its yummy. Marci gave me a CD that she burned me. It's Kenny Chesney! Alright!! It has "I go Back" on it PLUS "There Goes My Life", and "When the Sun Goes Down" and more! yay! As we were leaving Target Stephanie called Marci so Marci invited her over to her dorm too. SOO we picked up Wendys to go and went to her dorm because I havnt gotten to see her "new"one that she shares with her friend Heather. Its cute!Same setup....just different haha. Marci has one of those adorable mosquito net things for her bed like I used to have but hers is purple and is soo cute! I want a colored one! I was there for about 30 minutes or so when Stephanie got there. SO we all 4 hung out talking and then Heather's friend Chase that Marci thinks is SO hot came up there for a minute, so we were having a party! lol. It was fun! I had to be home by 11 though for a phone call SOOO I hit the road about 10:30. Tomorrow I leave for TEXAS. OMG how crazy is that!!! I'm nerrrrvous! I've never flown before and I'm doing it by myself AND b/c staying with my cousin Kristi & them and not knowing them "real well". But I already love Kristi to death- the few times I met her she's been great! And shes been real welcoming about me coming to her house. I'm nervous about the Crystal Lewis thingy too! Not that I get to meet her or anything (darn it) BUT OMG still!! Also its at Lakewood! yippy! Im probably meeting up with this girl Jessica that lives in Houston who I am friends with on the "board" at CrystalLewis.com~ lol. We are both ecstatic about seeing Crystal! Kristi hopefully is going to show me around places where I lived when I was a baby with my Dad, mom, and Jimmy and all that good stuff. I hope a hurricane doesnt come while Im there and blow me back to Tennessee! I would be VERY disappointed!!! Anyways, this'll probably be the last entry you get from me for a week!! Unless I find time to write there, but I dunno!!! I'm goin back to my roots YEEHAW. Well not really lol, but where I was born anyways!!!! Today is gonna be freakin busy. I get off work early at 1:30 and then I gotta go by Paulas to take her babyshower presents to her since I will be in Texas when she has it. After that I gotta take Granny her laundry, finish packing, clean my car out (in case anyone comes to look at it while Im gone), and go to Walmart! Phew! Welp yall have a great week and know that I am fulfilling one of my dreams!!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVE YA!! p.s. my new icon I have on this entry- that is a picture of Crystal Lewis with lyrics to my favorite song by her. Which is also where I got the title of my journal. The song is called "For Such A Time As This". And that line above is my favorite part of the lyrics "Sometimes the thrill of soaring has to begin with the fear of falling"...which is SO true...I love that...and I guess it's literally true in my case since I am flying tomorrow lol. But this song is kind of the THEME for my Houston trip! I really have waited all of my life for such a time as this! ANyways, here are the lyrics, enjoy: "For Such A Time As This" By Crystal Lewis I built my house here long side this mountain this rugged mountain that stands so tall I've had a good life above the lowlands It's more than I asked for but less than I dreamed I've often heard a voice call down to me If you'd climb higher you'd find wonderous things to see But the way is steep and a storm may come For such a time as this Isn't it much too great a risk I've never flown from the edge of a cliff never walked on the water But if i turn away How will I know what I have missed Have I waited all of mylife for such a time as this I've been content to not ask those questions that stir the rivers, that move the waves the windless waters are so much more peaceful they calm my spirit in silent song I've often wondered what's eluding me the yearning meant to free me from complacency But the way is steep and a storm may come For such a time as this Isn't it much too great a risk I've never flown from the edge of a cliff never walked on the water But if i turn away How will I know what I have missed Have I waited all of mylife for such a time as this Sometimes the thrill of soaring has to begin with the fear of falling
