This is the day,

this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. I will rejoice, I will rejoice & be glad in it & be glad in it!

I have that childhood church song stuck in my head right now & I LOVE IT :)

because I mean, look outside.. today really is the day that the Lord has made. It's GORGEOUS. (Even if he does make all the rainy nasty ones too... we're gonna focus on the sunshine lol)

Today I woke up for church & got ready to go work in the nursery but to my lucky surprise! We didn't have any kids so I got to be a grown up & go to service today haha. It was graduate Sunday so the high school & college graduates were honored with a brief message of good luck/congratulations & a little present (Lauren, I grabbed yours for you & I'll bring it to Hville next weekend). After church I went out to eat at Newks with the Farish clan & Ron & Brenda which was delicious. I think Newks is one of my favorite restaurants. I got half of a smoked ham & cheese with mayo, lettuce & pickles with half of a Ceasar salad! They have the best ceasar dressing & homemade crutons.

Now I'm gonna go to the quad & run/jog/walk... a combination of all 3 lol & then get ready for the Wesley cookout at 5 for the people still in town. Which is very few... yay. Whatever though, it's free food :)

Tonight is the last episode of Lost. & It's a bittersweet feeling but I'm excited to see the 2 hour recap before the finale because I'm only caught up to the last episode of season 5 & I've come to accept the fact that I'm not going to watch the 6th haha.

Ok.. done rambling. Have a great day y'all! xoxo, Alex :)

I wanna go back

to the beach! It was a wonderful couple days there & although the beach isn't like, a big deal to me because of living in Pensacola.. I didn't realize how much I missed it and it was still a rockin' vacation!

Soooo.. back to reality: Everyone has been gone for the summer for a whole day and I already feel like I have nothing to do ha. I love the family I live with and what not, but I'm not keen on spending every second with them. Yesterday I spent alllllll day and night with them. And because no one is in town.. so far I've been doing the same thing today. BLAH! I'm looking forward to May 27th when I'll be Huntsville! Woooohoooo.

But until then, luckily I have the book Leah let me borrow, House Rules, to keep me occupied! It's pretty good so far :)

Ok.. going to read now while Allie Rae takes a nap! Byeee.

Allie Rae's favorite

baby food is now Apples and Blueberries. I thought I would let y'all know this because I now have it all over my shirt, on the floor, and her cute little self..........yay.

I really need to get this blogging thing under control. I love reading and searching other people's blogs but haven't found what I need to write my own and make it not.. well, LAME!

After this post I'm gonna do my best to add more UMPH to my blogs by actually adding some pictures and by trying not to bore y'all to sleep. (Ally if you are still have your insomnia problems, read my blog haha) I crack myself up.

Anyways, today has been a very chill day. I enjoy days like these oh so much. I woke up around 9 (got to sleep in, woooot!), got my favorite baby Allie from Nisha, then saw her and Andrew off for their day of errands and appointments. I laid Allie down for her nap and made myself breakfast around 12, an egg and cheese burrito, an apple, and some orange juice (apparently I suck at keeping my Lent deal with God when orange juice is involved), then vacuumed the house, called and made my appointment to get my hair cut!!!!! eeeek I'm nervous, and now I'm blogging while Al plays. Not a very exciting day, but that is just fine with me. Now I'm going to go get ready for my hair apt.

Hope everyone has/had a good Monday! :)

Hola!

I was going to do a really long catch-up blog covering Spring Break festivities and everything I've done since then.. But suddenly the phone rang and Nisha wanted to know if I wanted to go meet my fake family at Los Torascos for lunch. Sorry guys, bye! :)


PS: at least I KNOW I'm the worst blogger ever haha.

Thanks to Ally,

I thought that I had brain cancer yesterday/last night. I had the worst headache in the entire world. When my mom called to randomly check on me I was pitiful as could be, telling her all about how I felt awful and that my head was going to explode. When I told her I had brain cancer she assured me that wasn't the case and told me to press on my forehead and under my eyes then proceeded to ask me if it hurt. It surely did and she told me it was my sinuses. Well, sinuses.. YOU SUCK! Justin text me and said they were watching a movie at the dhouse and I usually do whatever I can to get out of the house at night because I'm here all day, but I felt too crappy to even get out of bed. Andrew and I ran errands yesterday from about 12 to 2 and when we got back, I took a nap because I was feeling so awful and I didn't wake up until Andrew was beating on my door (sooooo nicely....NOT) to wake me up for dinner at 7. I'm pretty sure if he wouldn't have woken me up, I would have slept through the night. The good thing about him waking me up for dinner, that I didn't even want to eat (which is RARE!), is that I was up to watch The Buried Life and My Life as Liz! After the shows I was about to pass out......so i did.

I woke up this morning feeling like death, yet again. But today it was different, my tummy was feeling funny. I ate a biscuit for breakfast around 10:30 and then an apple about 30 minutes ago. Other than that, I don't really want to eat anything else. I hope it's all connected to my sinuses being weird still, because I cannot be getting the flu! Tomorrow is my first day working at Noah's Ark Preschool where I'll be working Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week.. Then just Wednesdays and Thursdays the rest of the time. I hope I don't still feel bad, cause either way I'm going to work and I don't really want to feel like this surrounded by a million 3 and 4 year olds.

Hope everyone's week is going better than mine and pray that I feel better for my new job! Off to nap for a bit while Allie Rae is too! (Ohhhh the life of a teenage mom haha)

can't. keep. them. open.

and by that title, I'm talking about my eyes.

SHORTEST SUMMARY EVER (tomorrow I will edit & go into detail) BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO PASS OUT ASLEEP: woke up, work, home, 3 hour nap, shower, brownies, laurens, food, oscars (yay Sandra Bullock!!!!), home, facebook, short blog....... & sleep!

WAH!

Do you know what these X's stand for?!

Yesterday was a pretty sweet day. Woke up feelin' like P. Diddy, watched Allie Rae for a bit, took Andrew to his tennis lesson at the University, went to Target for an hour to waste time, took Andrew home from his lesson, and turned right back around to go to Plato's Closet with Sarah and Leah!

Plato's Closet was crazy full of clothes and other items. I'd never been in there before, so I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't find a whole lot but I just don't think I was in the shopping mood. I bought a shirt, a little jacket/sweater thingy, and a Vera Bradley make-up bag. I found a dress that I really wanted for Wesley Formal but my tatas just weren't having it :( Story of my life! Sarah and Leah tried on lots of stuff. Leah got a sweet zip-up by some mystery brand that we've never heard of, but it has a freakin' elephant on it and it is veryyy slimming on her! Yay. Sarah got a few pairs of shorts, a couple skirts, a one of those long sweaters (thanks to me!), a pair of shoes and I don't remember what else! But she claims to have needed them all so I think it was a very successful trip in all.

I went home after Plato's Closet to get some clothes to go to Brown's Corner with Leah and friends and then headed to Leah's to go eat dinner at Ichiban then get ready. We chilled and waited for Ellyn to get ready then went and ate some boss sushi! When we got back we started getting ready and she experimented with her teasing skills and "big hair" idea on my hair, but it didn't go over so well because I have SO much hair. It was a fun attempt though. We left Leah's, went to pick up Alexa and Sarah then made our way downtown. It was a lot of fun, even when we encountered the douchebag of all douches ;), and my tall glass of water did me right.

After many song requests denied, played and interrupted (our poor MMM, Bop!), and even some played all the way through by the old piano playing pervs, we were tired and ready for some... Taco Bell on Alexa? I'm thinking yes. After spending 15 minutes in the drive-thru line and 5 minutes trying to think of the name of the taco Alexa gets, we ordered, paid, dropped Sarah and our new recruit/Sarah's roommate, Janie, off at Campus Way, and went to Alexa's apartment to eat our Taco Hell! It was pretty great :) I took Leah home then proceeded to make my usual 20 minute commute back home to BFE and had a wonderful night's sleep!

Hope everyone's Friday night was as successful and fun as mine :) Have a great rest of the weekend, too!
