D-TOWN

HERE WE COME........................

I am taking my sister to Dallas this weekend to get away and relax and have some fun. We leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday. My best friends husband is playing in an intramural tournament down there and we are going to support the team and spend some good quality "sister" time together. We are up right now packing, dancing, singing, and laughing...we're ready.

It's not going to be a long blog because we are busy having fun...so I'm going to leave my blog until Sunday, probably, and then fill everyone in on the fun.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day.

LOVE!!!

Wednesday!

My last blog was pretty depressing...so I am going for another UPBEAT one...that my brother says I need to put on here.

It's Wednesday and I had to take off work today because I woke up at 5:00 this morning in tears because I had a crick in my neck. I couldn't pick my head off the pillow...so I just kept rolling around telling myself, "Sarah, there is NOTHING wrong." LOL...I find myself doing that a lot when my mom isn't there to tell me. So, I ended up falling back asleep and it is better...I just look like I am trying to be a model and balance books on my head, but there are none up there. :)

It is absolutely beautiful weather today in Amarillo. I love when the days start getting longer and I can just open my door and let God's central heat and air take care of the apartment.

I finished basketball season and now it's on to track...so, I will be in my swim suit one day and my parka the next, thanks to this good ol Panhandle weather. :)

I hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for reading...

LOVE!!!

LIFE

First of all, thank you to all that commented on my last blog. I really do love blogging...I just like to hear from people...so Amanda, tell me how you do the thing you wrote about...I'll try to figure it out.

LIFE...wow! There is so much about this life that I don't understand...why do people that you love so much, hurt you? Why does it seem that they like to see you sad? Why are people selfish?? Why does God give you something and then allow it to go away? Why do you have to grow up? Why does your heart get torn into, but you still manage to love the person that did it?

It was definitely a Monday. I don't know how to explain it, but I am glad that it is almost over. I had a rough day...can you tell??? I just don't understand why guys have to be heartless and hurt you so much?? Why do women fall for the guys that are so hard to please and the ones that are good as gold, women usually don't know what to do with them.

I have wanted nothing more than to find my soul mate and I just don't know where's he's hiding. I have one of the greatest friends in the world, Billy Rushing, and he is someone I couldn't go a day without talking to. He reminded me of God's love, which is the most important, and that I need to fall in love with God and myself first and then the one I am supposed to be with will fall in place. That is so true, but SO hard to do. He also told me that God will be my best friend, if I will allow Him to. How great is it going to be when we all get to walk with God in Heaven??? I hope that He will forgive me and have enough mercy that I get to walk with Him. He is such an amazing friend and I need to be more like him and maybe my life would better...

I don't have a bad life by any means...just down days...and today was one of them... :)

Okay, since this is just depressing, I am going to quit blogging. I love all of you!

Talk to you next time.

LOVE!!!

Why blog??

Okay, Amanda, why do I need to blog if NO ONE is going to comment on my stuff...

You say that this blogging world is fun, but all I do is keep myself entertained and get to see how fast I can type. :)

So answer that...IF YOU TRULY ARE A BLOGGER.

LOVE!!!

SATURDAY!

BASKETBALL, BASKETBALL, PAINTING, BASKETBALL, FUN WITH THE GIRLS...

That is how I started my day and then some fun with the girls tonight is how I am going to end it. I woke up at 8:00 this morning getting ready for a middle school tournament...went to Bonham and watched the 7th grade "gold" girls play first and they lost; then I watched the 7th grade "silver" and they won and are going for the championship game on Tuesday night. The game was exciting. It came down to 1.7 seconds left of the clock and they were tied and it was Bowie's ball. Coach Brandstatt called a time out and put on a perfect in bounds play and they pulled it off with a winning shot at the buzzer. It was awesome and I was jumping like they had just won the state tournament...they deserve it and I can't wait to watch them Tuesday night...

Then I went with Emily to Wal*Mart and she is letting me paint my "new" room...and it's going to be PURPLE! It is awesome. We started painting and then I had to go watch the 8th grade "gold" guys play in the championship game and Em stayed at the house and almost finished everything. It is soooo pretty and Amanda is going to be jealous!!! :) ( in a good way ) So, family, come see it and help me move into our new house! It is going to look so much better with 2 girls living there instead of a guy...we are already planning what we are going to put in our flower beds too...

Now we are at my apartment. Em 'finally' got a shower... :) he he... and we are going to go out with Taryn and Ragan and have some fun...I think we are going downtown to see how many hot guys we can talk to. :)

It seems like everything that God has planned is working out just like it was supposed to...I was very hesitant at first to live in Em's house, but now I can't wait to get moved and can't wait to decorate my "new" room. It will be so much fun living with her again. Like I have blogged about before...slumber party EVERY "SINGLE" NIGHT. I need to go get ready and start singing to Em. That is usually how we start a night when we are going out on the town...ME singing and dancing in front of the mirror to Em, making her laugh and usually joins in a time or two!! :)

I hope everyone has had a great Saturday. I will be blogging again soon!

LOVE!!!

Drama...Drama...Drama

I just got home from my basketball games that were at Bowie tonight...we WON by the way. My girls played so good, but, in a way I am ready for track season to start. Don't get me wrong, I love basketball, but track will definitely be a breath of fresh air.

School these days are SO different than even when I went to school. The kids are different, parents are different, teachers are different...do you get it, JUST DIFFERENT. I do NOT know how teachers teach for 35 years and still want to continue. I know it is a passion, but I promise I am going to be gray by the time I am 26 and that is in two months. :)

I am going to get a few things off my chest tonight...so bare with me and if your opinion is different, I understand. Maybe I just need SPRING BREAK to get here...Kids are just not the same anymore. They are never held accountable for the things they do because they think it is never their fault...but, I guess I might have went through that stage as well. I just know that God needs to grant me more patience until May. Another thing is that every coach is not a bad person and they honestly have the kids 'best interest' in mind when they are coaching. If they don't, then it eventually surfaces and people know that they need to be assigned to another job in life. But, every coach starts out with new ambitions, new hope and lots of eagerness to teach and coach kids...which brings me to this...it doesn't take much for all of that to be taken away from the coach. I have never felt so worthless and ran over as a human as I have this year. It has been very trying and I go to school dreading what the day will bring me...if you can't tell, I NEED A LIFT. So any of you that have prayers our there...send one up for me.

Enough about that...I just want to say that I have the most awesome MOM in the world and wouldn't be anywhere without her guidance and PATIENCE. She is the entire reason why I stand on my own two feet everyday and thank God that I have such a base to stand on. I said a long time ago that the song "Wind Beneath My Wings" was definitely how I feel for her. She never complains about things and she always is there for me ANYTIME I NEED HER. I know my sister, Amanda, is great with words and I "ditto" her blog the other day, except I can take 10 YEARS OFF of the number. :) JK Amanda.

I will definitely not leave my Dad out. He was my hero as a little girl...no one could mess with my "daddy" and no one could ever do the things like my dad could...AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT. God blessed this world and my family with a man that will make Heaven a greater place.

So, I know tonight was a lot, but I just needed to vent. Please don't take any of the things I said about coaching or kids negatively...just a new generation. There are still great and wonderful kids out there that will definitely make a great and lasting impact in this world.

I hope all of you have a great night...and thanks for reading.

LOVE!!!

Emmy

Well, here it is...Monday night...and it's another slumber party at Sarah's apt. Me and Emily have had SO much fun the last three weeks. She has been staying with me and we are acting like we are in elementary again...because we sleep in the same bed EVERY NIGHT. We watch movies, laugh, cry, laugh, play games, laugh and sing. Sometimes, I wish that this life we have right now would never change...

No one will ever replace my sister and the times we have together...INCLUDING A MAN!!!

We are seriously thinking about living with each other for the rest of our lives and buying a huge house that has a pool and just throw slumber parties all the time...would that not be awesome??? If we ever follow through with that plan, please feel free to join us anytime...

We are fixing to watch "Sleepless in Seattle", so I need to sign off...

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday and hopefully I will be back on tomorrow night.

LOVE!!!!!!

First blog

Well, Emily started blogging and usually it's the little sister that follows the bigger sister, but in this case...I FOLLOWED HER!

I don't understand what the fuss is about blogging, but maybe I will get into as much as my sister, Amanda, and love it as much as she does...or this might be something that I forget about in 2 weeks and my page will be blah...WE'LL see.
