  • This weekends the big move...finelly moving all my stuff from my parents house to my apartment.(if you're interested in helping me, let me know..I'll give you free food and a hug for helping!!!)

    I'm happy, yet sad. Happy that I'll finelly have all my stuff at my apartment(like my bed..I've been sleeping on a fouton..aaah..and my tv...all my books and cds...oh and my super nintendo I got when I was 12! lol)and yet sad that after this sunday I can no longer ever step foot into the house I spent the past 6 years living.

    My parents sold it...which was really a good thing because it was too big for my mom to keep up in her bad health...but still..it's sad leaving behind something you love. It really was a nice house, with good, and bad, memories.

     I actually cried last time I drove there because I realized there wouldn't be many more days i'd be driving down that street I'd driven on so many times. But sometimes you have to move on and leave behind things you love.

    Change happends, and there's always good and bad things about change.

    I really love living in my apartment with Amanda(the bestest room mate ever !!!)living close to all my friends and my nanny job and being indepedant, yet it's hard leaving childhood behind and stepping across the line into adulthood.

    In reality I made that step 6 or 7 months ago when I first moved into my apartment, but since half my stuff was still at home with my parents I could go back there alot and spend the night there and pretend like I was a kid again and nothing changed...so it's really now that I'm forced to wake up and accept reality of growing up and moving on.

    No more pretending.

    I'm a grown up now. (can anyone tell me how to get back to never never land?)

    (ps. i'm not depressed or anything incase this post seemed that way - I'm actually quite happy with my life - my apartment, jobs, friends, family, everything is going really well and I love it...God has blessed me so much, so I'm not complaining...just saying goodbye to an old life and hello to a new one. It's just hard saying goodbye to old things sometimes)

  • Xanga is being INSANELY slow today...I just spent forever trying to comment on a friends xanga and then when I finelly wrote out a nice long comment, guess what, it didn't go through and erased it. Makes me want to switch to facebook for good! :-p

    This saturday is the radio station I work at's 24th birthday party...from 10am-3pm, there will be free food and stuff if any of y'all want to come by and see where I work and get some free food, let me know and I'll give you directions!

    (don't leave a message on xanga though because i might not check it again for a while, just call me or facebook me and it'll text my phone)

    Also my mom is moving all her stuff this sunday after church and could use some help so if anyone feels in a helpful mood let me know! I'm moving mine the next weekend, the 10th.

    Moving is such a pain, I seriously HATE moving. grr..

    Speaking of which I took the morning off from babysitting to pack so I'd better go do that.

    Hope you're all doing well my fellow xangans!

  • Amanda, Christine and i lead worship at a women's conference yesterday in Alpharetta, it was really fun...the speaker was really funny, I kept trying hard not to laugh out loud too much...

    Afterwards they gave us a free yummy Italian lunch and the 3 of us were in SUCH a silly mood, we laughed so hard..it was fun.

    And two different ladies came up to Amanda and I and asked if we were sisters because we both have almond shaped eyes..that was funny..(i had never even noticed that our eye shapes were alike)Amanda was like yes, we both have eyes like anime characters! We're anime...ANIMEEEEE!!! LOL

    And Christine asked Amanda and I if we had ever compared hand sizes to see who's fingers were longer, she thought we would've since we were room mates and all(What?! Since when do room mates compare hand sizes?!)I thought that was really funny so I said sarcastically, "YES, every night before we go to bed, we hold up our hands together to compare finger length" lol okay maybe you had to be there but I thought that was funny.

    It also could be the fact that I went to bed at 3am and woke up at 6:45am. lol.

    Today I am at my mom's packing up all my stuff from my old room...ugh i have soooo much stuff to sort through..and give away...

    I'm officially moving it all out to my apartment on the afternoon of the 10th of march, and could def.use all the help I can get so if you're feeling helpful, pleassse contact me! I will buy everyone who helps pizza for dinner!

    And on that note I need to go eat breakfast. I'm going to church tonight instead of this morning so I can get more done through out the day.

    By the way Amanda and I are going to trinity vineyard tonight if anyone wants to come let me know.

    Peace, love and rock & roll,

    <>< Amy

  •  Does anyone want to visit trinity vineyard church in Atlanta with me tonight at either 6pm or 8pm? If so call my cell, and if you don't have my cell then send me a message on face book cuz when you do that it sends the message to my cell.

  • Wow, it's been a while, xanga! I can't get on xanga at work and normally I work from 10am-midnight monday through friday and just go to sleep when I get home, so that doesn't leave much xanga time anymore..I'll try and update at least once a week though, to satisfy my faithful readers. Hope you all are doing well.

    My parents house just sold so I have 4 weeks to get the rest of my stuff moved out of there and into my apartment. I basically only have about 25% of my things at my apartment which means I still have 75% left to move(yes, I am a procrasinator) not fun. :-p I'll be glad when that's over! Pray my mom can find a house to rent with in the next 4 weeks, too.

    Also please pray for my grandma, she has cancer and the doctors say she might only live for about a month longer...especially pray for my mom because she's been through so much this past year, I hate to see her have to deal with another loss.

     

  • The women's conference we played at on saturday went really well! Thanks to Nancy, Lucy and Amanda the worship was awesome and thanks to Melanie Covert, Rachel and Jennifer for coming out to see us.

    Now it's just another manic monday...*sighs* why can't we have 5 day week ends to follow 5 week days?! That'd be nice...

    It's SO cold outside...I'm ready for spring. Yes, I do believe I've got a case of the mid winter blues... :-p

    Tag!

    I was tagged by PersonOfGod2184

    (Tag you're it! THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the 7 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 7 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a Comment that says "you are tagged" in their Comments and tell them to read your blog. Almost forgot :  post who you tagged on your site too.)

    1.) It used to be 6 weird things but I changed it to 7 because I have this unexplainable hatred of the number 6 and love of the number 7. Yes, weird, I know. But hey, we're supposed to list weird things so it fits right with the game, right?

    2.) I'm addicted to reading beverly lewis christian fiction books about amish people. Amish people mesmerize me, because I love electricity/computers/music/art/movies etc so much it fascinates me that people live with out it by choice.

    3.) I pace when I'm thinking deeply about something or daydreaming about something not so deep.

    4.) I've become a vegetarian but not because I love animals(although Wilbur WAS pretty cute in charlotte's web..)

    5.) Most of you already know this about me, but if you don't...I have this odd fondness for foreigners. I just love listening to them talk!! Accents are awesome.

    6.) I love fried dill pickles! Sometimes I get a strong craving for them and will drive out to the pizza farm waaay out in the boonies in rockmart, ga, just so I can get some fried pickles there lol.

    7.) You may not know this about me, but I'm an avid book worm. I can read through an entire book in one day(depending on how many pages it has) like a 500 page book, I can read through that in a day. One of my favorite childhood memories is my grandma and mom taking me to the library.

    Tags; I tag fairytalebelle, osuwarinuyasha, symphony_in_yellow,  belgogirl, comictragedy, SealOfServants and YOU!!!(Whoever is reading this)

  • I'm very ashamed to admit this, but I'm totally addicted to watching American Idol...and this year, since I'm working at night, I can't watch it live so I have to tivo it and wait to watch it on the weekend.

    Well, for some reason last nights(wednesday)episode DIDN'T TIVO!!!

    So...I was wondering if any of you happened to tivo or record/tape/etc last night's episode and if so if you would let me either come over to your place and watch it or if I gave you a VHS or DVD you could make a copy of it for me...pretty pretty please?!

    i'll love you forever!! (wow, it doesn't take much to please me, eh?)

     

  • I'm at work and I was just looking at this poster we have of Georgia that lists all the counties, and does anyone else find the fact funny that Coffee, Bacon & Atkinson counties in GA are all connected ? Also Bulloch and Effingham are connected..I thought that was funny, too. Those sound like they should be curse words... "I have to go to EFFINGham tomorrow, BULLOCH! lol.

    The things I find amusing while at work.....  (getting close to the end of my shift, especially)
