We celebrated Britt's birthday Saturday but today is her actual 12th birthday! :) So happy bday to her!!! Today is Thursday. Yesterday was a day full of emotions- mostly joyous ones though. After work I went straight home and as soon as I walked in the door mom goes "Guess what?" and I thought it was something bad and so I said "oh no...what" and she said "Guess!" and Sara was grinning...so I guessed and I guessed right! Jimmy's wife Sherry is pregnant again!!! They just found out yesterday. How crazy is that? Im going to have some double "auntageness" going on! And more than likely Sherry will have her baby a month after Sara- how crazy is that? I told mom that I was moving away to Texas b/c I dont fit in with her other 2 kids having babies! (Not that I want a baby right now or will even think about having one until Im married..if that ever happens...but still). I talked to Jimmy on the phone and told him congratulations and you could just hear the smile in his voice...he was SO excited! Anyways after hearing the GOOD NEWS I got on the computer and I ended up talking to Kristi the whole rest of her work shift through yahoo IM. I need to stop that, I know I have to be getting on her nerves...I know I would get on my own lol. Well she told me to call her to tell her what had been aggrivating me all week and so I left the apartment and went driving around (destination Grannys) but talked to Kristi on the phone for about 25 minutes first. Then I went to Grannys to drop off her laundry and showed her my Houston pictures but didnt stay long b/c she is sick...she was pitiful I felt so bad for her. I went to the grocery store too and then went home. I got on the computer and talked to Julie for a little whle and then got tired and went to bed before 10 again!!! I slept good. I had this dream about Daddy. It was kinda weird...but I liked it. I was at my wedding (I dont know who I was marrying lol) but the wedding ceremony was already over and me & a huge crowd of people were having the reception. People were sitting down at tables all around me and I was standing in the middle of the floor (dont ask me where my groom was b/c I dont know) but anyways all the sudden Daddy appeared out of nowhere and walked over to me (he was still gone...it was kind of like a Casper thing...he came back from Heaven for a minute to be with me). Anyways a song came on and we started dancing...it was so sweet...I remember being SO happy at that moment in my dream. I was holding onto him SO tight thinking that I could never be happier and thinkign I didnt ever want to let go. So we hugged & danced...I guess doing the "father/daughter" dance. But I remember all of the people that were around me (family & friends) were all sitting there just watching and smiling and crying knowing how happy I was because they could see him too. After the dance I woke up...I dunno, but it was awesome to get to "Dance with my Father Again"...dont worry Im not going to bust out with any Luther Vandross lyrics lol. But yea that was my dream. Anyways- enough sappiness. Oh some more good news! Kristi & I were talking yesterday and we are planning for me to go back to Houston for Thanksgiving! YAYYY. Im too excited! I have got to start saving up NOW! The only bummer is I will just be staying 6 days rather than the 7 that I stayed last time...and if it goes by as fast as those 7 did it will be over in no time. BUT I dont care, if I was just goin for 2 days Id still be happy!!! My aunt Julie's so sweet...I was talking to her last night online and was telling her about it and I told her I would miss her on Thanksgiving and she said "well I guess I will SHARE you this time" haha, it was so cute. Then she said "I will be sad that you wont be here with us but I will be happy in knowing how happy you will be"...SHe's so sweet...I love her to death..she encourages me so much and I dont know what I'd do without her. I think she is the one (besides God) who helps me hold on to my sanity sometimes... Well thats about all for now I guess. I cant believe tomorrow is Friday but I sure am glad! I FOR ONCE do NOT have any weekend plans..how crazy is that?? So I may use that free time to call Debra and go visit Peggy & Libby! =) Well...talk to you later!! p.s. I heard the coolest song today. Im not sure if it's new or not but I have never heard it before. It's by MercyMe and its called Homesick. It was a slower song but I liked it...because I feel that way alot. Here are the lyrics: "Homesick" MercyMe You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry Is how long must I wait to be with you I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same Cause I'm still here so far away from home I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now In Christ, there are no goodbye And in Christ, there is no end So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have To see you again To see you again And I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now
