Hey. Wow, ALOT has happened since I wrote. Well, my Granny ended up passing away on October 6th. It was so sad. I was just at her apartment taking her laundry to her and doing my usual grocery shopping for her 3 days before. She went back to the hospital Wednesday night where we all got a chance to basically say goodbye and then the next morning she went Home to Jesus. She truly expressed how much she loved me though in her final days and hours so for that I have a peace in my heart & soul. Plus, I know that she can breathe, has no chest or back pains and she's in a land of COMPLETE JOY with Jesus, her mom, her dad, and her brother and MY DADDY. I am selfish and want her here....but I am grateful that I was so close to her and that the last 2 years of her life I was BLESSED with the opportunity to care for her by cleaning her apt, doing her laundry, and grocery shopping for her every 2 weeks. I feel so priveleged and honored to have been the one to get to do that. I know she loved me so much and appreciated it so much and it was just so worthwhile to get to help her out and repay her for taking care of me when I was little. I LOVE YOU GRANNY AND I WILL MISS YOU UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN! Also Id like to thank Marci, Tara, Heather, Stephanie P., Leslie, and Paula for coming to the her funeral...that meant sooo much to me. LOVE YOU ALL TONS. 2 days after Grannys funeral..my bestest friend in the whole world..the person I love the most...Stephanie was in a bad car accident. She , by the guidance and love of GOD made it out alive and with no scratches or bruises. She had taken the wrong medicine on accident and took a sleeping pill that she had never ever tried before and it knocked her out....its some strong stuff b/c i have taken one before and know the affects. Anyways, she fell asleep and crossed over 3-5 lanes of busy morning traffic on Broadway and then mananged to flip her van over on its side. The van got totaled. She woke up and she was hanging by her seatbelt. I had called her and a lady answered her phone and told me about the wreck so I hurreid down there where her mom & dad were already there and I saw the van up on its side on the opposite side of the road that she was supposed to be on and I was bawling! My heart was broken I was so SCARED for her. The emegerency crew had to cut into the van and cut her out of it and then they took her to the UT Trauma Center by ambulance. I felt SICK. She is the most wonderful person I have ever met and COULD NOT lose her and she didnt not deserve to be going through that. I rode with her mom & dad to the hospital and waited there in the waiting room with them, her sister Traci, and Todd. I finally got to see her and talk to her and I felt SO much better then. She got to go home a couple hours later. How awesome God is and how I know He was looking over her. I thing Granny may have been looking out for Stef too b/c Granny only knew her not even a year but had fallen in love with her just like most people that meet her do. She is just awesome..but her & Granny clicked instantly the first time they met. Well the next couple of days I was traumatized over Grannys death and Stephanies bad wreck....but then I finally got to that point where you start feeling back to life again. So on Thursday I started working at JC Penneys again...but this time at the mall closer to me...but in the same dept..hahaha. I worked Friday also and then Friday night me & Stephanie picked up STephanie W. and we went to Barleys to eat pizza with garlic, jalopenos, and red onions on it...mmm..you knwo that we had SOME GREAT BREATH. haha. THen after Barleys we headed out to Oake's Corn mAze and did the haunted one. It was great..it took us 45 minutes to get out and the spooks spooked us like crazy..me & Stef fell on top of each other b/c we were running likec razy everytime a dude with a chainsaw would jump out. Saturday me, Stef,Emilee, Sara, and Jaelyn headed to Paula's daugther Allison's 1st bday party at the Fountain City Lions Club. Marci, Tara, and Darryl were there too. After the party me, Stef, and Em went to let Emilee play. Some dude hit my head was sitting onthe bench andI turned around to look at him and he had knocked a huge praying mantis off of my head!!!! AAH! Those things are big, ugly, and scary and it was sitting on my hair for WHO KNOWS how long!! eww! Well Saturday night we went to SUPER Walmart and I got my oil changed and we got groceries. Sunday mornign we got up and went to church at Corryton Church..man I love that church. (Last week we went to Middlebrook....it was good seeing some people but man Im glad I DONT ATTEND there anymore...its so not homey feeling). Anyways..soo after church Sunday me & STef started to watch "Willy Wonka" and it made us crave a chocolate bar so what started out being a 15 minute trip to get a candy bar ended up being a Sunday drive day haha. We first went out to Straw Plains and then ended up in Seymour, then Maryville, then we went up the foothills parkway into Townsend and then we went to Cades Cove and drove the loop. It was the best Cades Cove trip ever lol. There were tons of people and it was a gorgeous fall day. There was a lot of WILDLIFE going on...we saw 2 deer in one spot. THey were pretty. After that we picked up Em from Todds and then went home. Yesterday I worked again and me & Emily both worked aroudn the same time so after work I followed her to her apt. and saw it finally!! It was cute. I talked to her and had a good chat and we went to Food City and then she cooked me hamburgers & tater tots awww. Nathan got home in time to eat and then I had to leave to go help Stephanies sister Traci get her treadmill from her mom & dad. Today I am off....yay. I took Emilee to school and then napped and now am writing this LONG BUTT entry lol. WEll thats all for now. Until next time....PEACE LOVE AND HAPPINESS.
