I guess it's time for a real update...

Today I went to Jay and Christy's new house. As I pulled up Isabel with, get this- a PUPPY. And it wasn't the neighbor's puppy. It was her puppy. I was so shocked I almost checked to see if it was really Isabel. The one time Christy had a puppy she kept it for two weeks and then gave it to Taylor's family. But no, it really is their puppy. Craziness I know. And it is so adorable. It's a purebred beagle. I want to keep it.

I had fun over there. I just sat on her couch and talked and laughed and watched the food network. She says that I should get either a yellow, a light turquoise, or red dress. Jay agrees with the yellow. What do you all think? I'm going dress shopping tommorow. And Adair and Tae I know you want me to wear purple. I need opinions people!

Youth Retreat

First, I'll start with pictures of the retreat that I did last weekend. I haven't felt like posting them until now.

I LOVE SUNSETS!

Mallory and Ange

Yep, we played twister...

Jenny and Courtney

Mike and Matt

I forgot these girls' names... =(

(Left to right) Big Neil, Courtney, Laurie, Ashley, Dori

Marty and Mallory

(Pastor) Mike playing guitar while Natahsha (Kid) Mike,  and Matt watch.

Crazy Courtney and Mallory (This one is definatly getting printed.)

I forgot what happened here... hehe.

Now come craziness with tackle football.

There are two things VCC is famous for on retreats, Nonny Lorretta's homecooked food and tackle football on Friday nights.

Mike looks like a phychotic ninja cat ready to pounce on his prey.

 

Marty is just crazy....

I don't know why I enjoy taking pictures of people's wounds. I don't know why people are so willing to let me take pictures of their wounds...

This picture = genius! My best picture yet!

This would be good if I got Mike's entire face in.

Hahaha. VCC is so unique. I don't know what's so interesting to them about wrestling. I don't understand it! I've been going since I was eight and I STILL do not understand it! When you say hello at my church you get a punch on the arm... and if Jay or Eric do it...it hurts!

Another one of the best ones I've ever taken. I love it.

Natasha and Mallory being weird.

Julie and Mike's beautiful baby, Bella!

Good picture of everyone.

DJ in the weird game we played. This pic is good too. I'm proud of myself.

The kid I don't know.

More weird balloon game pictures.

Natasha and the baby

Laurie and the baby.

The dude I don't know and Mike walking over to the other building.

Pretty camp LRCA

I love this baby!!!

I guess she doesn't love me as much as I love her because as soon I was done with the picture she started to cry.....

ANYWAY....

So, I think that the reason why I passed out and a siezure was because of the medication I took the night before for my previous toothache. I looked it up and Coedine CAN cause siezures if it's not taken properly or if you're allergic. Emily, do you remember when I was in your car and my chest hurt and I was all warm after I took that medicine? Yeah, that was a big sign right there that I shouldn't have continued to taken that after that.

The test results will be back in about 5 buisness days so I'll tell you all what happened when I can. Adair told me that you all prayed for me yesterday morning which I am SO grateful for. Thanks to all who have prayed for me and given me encouraging words!! I love you all!!!!

I hate being scared.

and being in the center of attention

and the phrase "ignorance is bliss."

Edit: But if you think about it, ignorance is bliss. I think I would have much rather enjoyed walking around all normal thinking nothing was wrong with me than be worrying if another ciezure or fainting was going to occur. My dentist and friend, Dr. Garza said that when something is wrong she wants to know right away and she wants people to tell her everything. I don't know if I can agree with her anymore. I hate worrying about me 24/7 which is what I'm doing know. I had bad dreams all night and woke up at 4 a.m. because I couldn't sleep. It's now 5:19 a.m. and I'm already halfway done getting ready for school.

I don't understand this, God!

So Close

So close, I believe

You’re holding me now

In Your hands I belong

You’ll never let me go

I’m so secure

You’re here with me

You stay the same

Your love remains here in my heart

You gave Your life

And Your endless love

You set me free

And showed the way

And now I am found

All along you were beside me

Even when I couldn’t tell

Through the years

You showed me more of You

More of You
