friends

Tis Sarah, Nathan, and I at the Knox's... Departing from fellowship meeting. Or at least he was.

Open Arms-Journey

I was @ a army thingy at Ditto Landing last night, and one of the Army guys sang this song. He had an Awesome voice, but that wasn't the point. He dedicated this song to all of the spouses that had loved ones serving our country. I never realized how much this song went with that. Here are the lyrics. I recommend listening to it if you have the opportunity. It made my heart swell with pride being a part of that last night. It was great.

Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Thanks to all the men and women who are in the military. We love you much

Blondie

I know that I'm blond... As in my hair color and everything, but I'm starting to realize how much I am really blond in my actions.

Today (or a couple of mins ago) I told Rhiannon to go to my room to get my shoes. I also told her that they were in front of the dresser. She ran downstairs and brought up the shoes. They weren't the ones I wanted, so I sent her back down there to get the OTHER ones. She came BACK up stairs saying "THERE WEREN'T ANY SHOES IN FRONT OF THE DRESSER!!" She looked in front of the door, but STILL didn't find them.

Guess what??? They were in FRONT of me, under the computer desk where I have been sitting for the past 30 to 40 minutes.

I could go on and on and on about stuff like that that has happened in the last couple of days. Like at the mall when I wanted to see the price of something and was getting VERY frustrated when I couldn't find it.

Good thing I have Cassie, she ever so gracefully pointed out that it was RIGHT in front of me the entire time.

HAPPY DAY CASS!!

Last night I had fun watching the AlabamaBrand Kiddielids, and we accomplished various different crafts (including "No girls allowed: Except For My Mom" doorhanger for Matthew)which was very fun. Paige made me a note, that I thought was VERY sweet... They were all sweet though.
Thanks Morghann, Haley, Matthew, Paige, Lexi, and Sadie for being so good! (I figure that their mommy will read this sooner or later...)

Anyways, the Knox's just got home for their FOE EVA trip to ^ North about 3:30am this morning, and I am so glad that they are back!! I will hopefully be hangin wit them soon, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSAFER!! Gettin old on us, lol

Many Happy Days...

Let's start with President bush.... His birthday was yesterday, he turned 60.

Amie's birthday is today, and I think Lisa Quillion's is also today.

I also want to remember Bro. Buddy Owen (my great uncle) on his birthday today, he was a great man.

Wedding Bells are ringing

I am ENGAGED in my old age....  

Mexicanos

Last night, a bunch of us went to Point Mallard, to watch some fireworks... We got there about 7 something, and figured the fireworks started @ 9. They didn't. They started at 10. There was a beauty pageant going on, along with a small fair, so we sat in the soccer field waiting for the fireworks to begin.

Then we noticed something.

We were more of a MINORITY there. There were hundreds of Mexicans running around with their 25 kids, and 1 woman with every 5 guys.

Josiah, Tesia, and I got REALLY annoyed. WE WERE celebrating our history, our heritage, our LIBERTY!!! What were they celebrating I wonder???? Most likely getting here illegally.

Everyone knows how much I despise Illegal's... I just sat there fuming, on the blanket. Josiah said that the border patrol should surround the place and pack everyone that didn't have their correct ID into a bus and deport them back to there home place. I say if they didn't have their ID to do something worse to them... But that wouldn't be politically correct would it?

Then the fireworks started, and all was dark. The fireworks were really pretty.

But another thing was wrong...

They only lasted about 20 minutes, when we had waited several hours for this SUPPOSEDLY best firework show.... I'm not sure WHO they were comparing them selves to, but it WAS NOT the best by far.

We had to wait really long for everyone to get out of the park, and THEN I got bit by a little creature, and I wish I had a picture to show you how swollen some of my hand was.

That was my night. At least I had fun hangin wit my homies.


BTW... Dylan is now beginning to Blog. http://dmcanally.blogspot.com is his linkage

HAPPY 4TH

That was really cool...
I just was reading Timmy's post, (which was really good by the way) and commented 3 minutes before Heather. I thought that was interesting.

ANYWAYS... Today is the 4th and I'm really thankful to be in America. Go to Johnathan's blog (http://themoderntimes.com) to read a really more cooler post about freedom. The one that Bro. Cornwell referred to in his message.

In other news, I need to go...

They have been here for awhile now, but it seems like NOT very long at all.

You guys will be missed much.

~Softball~

After Church this morning, Benjie and I went to Walmart, and then went to the Ball Park so the guys could play some Softball. I didn't think to get any pictures, but here is one of Daniel Friday night @ the park.
Vanessa was @ chruch this morning which was REALLY cool to see her come, and by the way nessa, I think you had enough people sitting by you in church!! 

Baby Griffin

Amie, I love Griffin SO much!!

Fun Fun

I got a couple pics from last night, but they are on Benjie's camera, and I haven't got them uploaded to Picasa yet. I did have a lot of fun though.... Eating, hangin out wit my homies, and watching a few fireworks (occasionally a couple of God's natural Fireworks in the sky, namely LIGHTNING!)

After the Fireworks, we decided to go to Starbucks and drink hyper in size grande (at least I did... Grande Frapp Mocha, with a shot of expresso).

After having a great time there, we went to Walmart ( we can't go anywhere without stopping at Wally world on the way home ) and hung out until 11:30 pm, then made it home 4 minutes before my extended (thanks mom) 12 o'clock curfew.

I wanted to post this picture again, because I thought it looked MUCH cooler after my alterations that I made.

Here is Drew, Joseph and I outside the church building @ lakeland campmeeting:
 

Happy 4th!!

Tonight is the 4th of July party @ Brindlee Mountain Ball Park, at 6pm. Ya'll are Welcome!!

This Post Has No Title

Kelly, you made me think twice when you commented on the pic...

I was thinking "Is this really me or not??". I knew that mom had told me that it was me as a baby, but I thought I could have had it mixed up. So, Kelly, you had me worried that I didn't even know who it was. That's sad.

The Arkansas Youth Jubilee is coming up and to anyone that has the chance to go, I would encourage it. Last year was my first time to go, and I enjoyed it much.

Changing subjects yet again, you don't know how much you are friends with someone, until they go to Vermont and Maine (Vermaine as I kept calling them accidentally when I was there). Sarah and Cassia Left from Lakeland, going to Maine for one week, then leaving today for Vermont. AND they won't be back until NEXT Saturday. I did get to talk to Sarah for awhile yesterday though, and she was VERY VERY excited that she learned to Knee Board, and that today she got to go jet skiing. And that cassia couldn't drive them because she wasn't 16, and on and on. Yeah.... But, there is one good thing that comes whenever they are gone, EVERYONE makes sure to make use of their pool. Oh yeah, Sawah, I gave the puppies some love for Cass. They aren't neglected.

The picture is of Me Me (the E sounds like A, and it's not May May!! It sounds more like Mem Ay), Sarah, Cassia, Grandpa, and I in the Burlington, VT airport, in Febuary 2005
