I thought I would update because I had an amazing afternoon and night. I am truly blessed with the friends that I have. I was reminded of this tonight both at church and then again at Starbucks with Marta and Alyssa. I so often take for granted the people in whom I can truly connect with. I think sometimes that I just don't have any real friends that I can just talk to and them just listen but I know I do. I just hardly see them or what not. They are a great blessing to me and I thank them for everything they have done for me whether I liked it or not. They tell me what needs to be said whether I like it or not. I love them so much.

Another great thing about today:
Let me just say that God is amazing. I know that it goes with out saying but it should be said because of how true it is. He continues to amaze me and leave me in awe. He reaches out and touches my hand and lets me know that it will all be ok. He blesses me with great friends, family, my job, and so much more. Tonight at church I felt His hand upon my shoulder as I did back at Super Summer. The omniscient power He has calmed me and let me worship Him with no fear of who was watching or what others might be thinking. As I was on my knees with my hands clasped together, I started to tear up and realize how I've been hurting. God loves me so much and I pay Him back by screwing things up in ways I have said I never could. I can never really pay Him back for all He has done for me, but the least I can do is live for Him. That is what I choose to do from now on as best I can. It is a tough thing to do so all the encouragement I can get is appreciated. I write this in hopes that you, all of my lovely readers, will help to keep me accountable in all I do. Some know more than others of what I do and what not, but what you do know confront me on it if I shouldn't be doing it. Please, don't be afraid I am going to bite your head off because you said something. I will respect you more for it.

This is all for tonight. I'd just like to end this post with a note to all of my friends and family:

I love you all and could never forget you. You all mean so much to me and I will always hold you close to my heart. Thank you for everything you have ever done and will do. You mean the world to me.

Wow! So my birthday and the days surrounding it were nothing like I thought they were going to be. They were absolutely amazing. Thursday I was supposed to be taken out by Christina when in fact in was a way to get me and her somewhere so that my rents and Adri and Amy could surprise me there. It was so cool. We were at the Magic Time Machine and had the tooth fairy as our waitress. She was cool and had this great attitude. We had a magic guy, who was pretty cool, and a balloon chik, who was awesome. She made me an elephant. It was orange and spiffy. You should have seen him. His name was E.R. No, not as in emergency room but yet for EleRabbit. If you don't get it, don't ask you won't lol. Well all cept the rents got our pics drawn. That was pretty cool. I got some awesome presents and that was only Thursday.

Friday, was my actual birthday. It was amazing. I started my day with getting to school late which is always good lol. Then I received some flowers from my Adri through the 'valagram' thing. The day went on and was good and I went to lunch and my mother was there and brought me Chikfila. Let me just say Yummm. It was really cool and yea. I ate that and went to the elementary school and it was cool. We had our lil Valentines day party and that was cool. I saw my boss after that and she told me happy bday and what not. I also found out right before talking to her that I was allowed to get my cartilage pierced. I was thrilled about that seeing as I had wanted it since like 9th grade. I went over to Alan's house and chilled with 'mommy' for a while and then headed home to supposedly go out with CK. Well much to my surprise I'm just chillin at home and my bro walks in the door. I was like woah. OK you live in Waco, Why are you here, Chuck? He came home to surprise me and to take me out to dinner and a movie for my bday. It was awesome. We went to Macaroni Grill and then to the movie Hitch. Awesome movie, so hilarious. you need to go see it. And well I shouldn't even have to say that dinner was good but of coarse I will. It was fantastic, delicious, scrumtious, all that mess.

Saturday, I went to work and came home to get ready and go out to eat before Dustin left. I also got some more presents. They were so cool. It was a lot of 'Bill' stuff. I then took an insanely long nap and it was awesome. I woke up and two hours later went back to sleep. IN other words, good day.

Today, I went to church and lunch there for the anniversary and what not. Tonight is SNAC and we're goin skating. That always takes me back. Back to the days of being a kid. Seeing as I'm an adult now. Craziness. Oh get this...I was excited today when I went to Walmart not only because I was going and I love Walmart but I bought some Sharpies and you know how you have to be 18 to buy them? I was. HA! That amused me so much. I love Sharpies. They are cool.

Oh! I never told yall about Regalia. It was so much fun, like wow. I had an awesome time with all the people I went with. We had a blast the entire night. It was just great. I took tons of pictures and we went to three or four different places and it was so much fun. We also hung out the next day for the super bowl. Not that I actually watched it or anything but it was a lot of fun. Those kids are great.

Well all is well and I'm good. Just thought I'd update and let people know what was going on in my life. Hope all of you are doing well. G'day!
