Yeah, That Happened to Me

     On my way to church yesterday morning I was thinking about my blog, and how I should start a 'series' of stuff, instead of just random things. I ended up coming to the conclusion that I should call them 'Yeah, That Happened to Me', because I had this one story that I just crack up at every time I think about it. And I'm sure as I go on, I'll have  many more stories to tell(:


Enjoy(:




     Before we moved to Oklahoma I  was looking at the map, and noticed a place called Slapout. Yes, that IS the real name.It was pretty close to the panhandle on the Southern side. Well for a long time I had told people what little I knew about Oklahoma's geography,  "..there was a place called Slapout near the panhandle.. blah blah blah."
A few months ago I was at my Bestie's Birthday party.  There were a few people that had come from our Church ( But they had to leave early) and there were some people from another church in Bixby. Her Nana and Papa, Aunt and cousins were there too.
I was sitting at a picnic with three kids from the other church, and her Papa. My Bestie and the only other girl from our church had gone to take her presents to her car. So, since I didn't know the other kids, and they didn't start a conversation, I did. Our conversation went something like this:


Me: "So what kinds of things does your youth group like to do?"


"All kinds of different things you can imagine."


Me: nodding my head, "Thats cool... So I know you guys go to Church camp later in the summer, we go in June, to the camp in Talihina."


"Yeah.."


Me: "Well I bet you guys had fun! I love church camp.."


"Yeah we really did."


Me: "So, where so church camp? I only moved here last year, and I still don't have everything placed."


"Haha, well I've lived here my whole life, and I still don't have everything placed!"


Me: "That's understandable, I didn't know everywhere in South Carolina-- where I'm from. Did you know that theres a place called Slapout near the panhandle?"


"Really? I never knew that! What a weird name!"


Me: "I know right? Imagine If you lived there, it would be like, 'So where are you from?' 'Oh, I'm from Slapout!'"


My Bestie's Papa, who has been sitting here the whole time: "Have you ever been to Slapout?"


Me: "No, only heard about it.."


Papa: "I had a friend who used to live there, I grew up near there too."


*Awkward silence..


Me: nodding my head, "That's pretty cool. I never knew that."


Papa: "Yeah, It's a nice little town."


*Awkward silence... Yeah the conversation was over now, thank goodness my friends came back.




Yeah, this happened to me(:


Guess it's only fun to make fun of something when there is little to no chance of knowing someone that could be form there. Oh well. I haven't made fun of Slapout since then(:

Football

     I love to watch football. College football. It's something that everyone can do, talk about and have in common. Of course, when sports take over your life, I have to back away. Nothing besides being a Christian should take over your life.
     I don't really have a favorite team. I don't really base my  favorites on how well the team plays or if I know someone who goes to that school. When I lived in South Carolina, I always said that the Gamecocks were my favorite because I liked the sound of the NAME. Now I have to say my favorites are OU and Alabama. They both have similar colors (which I like Lol) and I like the names. BOOMER SOONER.. ROLE TIDE!!(:
     I plan on watching the 'bama game tonight.. here's to a good game!!(:

TGIF

     Yes! It's the weekend and I'm oh, so excited. Up until this school year, weekends weren't all that exciting to me. When I was little, I remember that Saturdays were always our weekly cleaning days. So as you can imagine, I didn't like it very much. The past few years weren't all that exciting because of no particular reason I guess. Saturdays just felt like any 'ole day of the week to me. 
     But this year, weekends just speed by way to fast. During the week I feel I can't get anything done besides school work, so I feel like the weekend is my 'catch up days', where I can watch t.v., read books and just relax. Oh, and SLEEP IN. That never happens during the week anymore. Lol. 
     This weekend I plan on, watching Captain America (one of the best movies EVER! Since Dad bought it, I still haven't watched it!!) Make more Jewelry ( I just went shopping for supplies on Wednesday, and haven't been able to sit down and look at it..) Get my room cleaned ( I did however get most of that done last night though(: ) 
     So, here's hoping I get all of that done this weekend(:

     Oh! Happy 11/11/11 guys! This morning we were doing school all together, and I tweeted on the very minute! Lol. 60 seconds never went so fast(:

Guess What I Saw?!

     Christmas lights!! I'm so excited! Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
 I know we still have Thanksgiving-- which is my real favorite time of the year. Or, theoretically anyway. See, I was just talking about fall-time with mom a few weeks ago. Hay rides, face painting, pumpkins, leaf piles, potlucks, all things you would think about when you mention fall is just my favorite. But, now-a-days when people think of fall, it's usually associated with Halloween. But now I'm off subject. Lol.
     Christmas is my favorite time of the year because:


Christmas lights
Christmas music!!
The smells
The cold weather
The 'Christmas Spirit'
And most of all because we are celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.


     I do believe in the Christmas spirit. Taking out the bit about LYING TO YOU KIDS concerning SANTA, the Christmas spirit is something with-in its self. It has it's own smell, it has it's own look, it has it's own music, it has it's own meaning. Christmas is participated by so many, everywhere you look you see it. Christmas makes me happy inside, warm inside, thankful inside, I have so much inside I feel like I'm gonna bust with happiness! Can you say Spirit or what? I can't wait!!

Proverbs 31

I wanted to take a few minutes, to talk about my Mom. My Mom is pretty awesome. I know I tell her that all the time, but it's truly not enough to measure what she deserves. These are some of the things my Mom is to me:
Teacher
Best Friend
Role Model
Chef
Christian
Helper
Business Manager (It's true, we both know it;)
and, above all, my Mother.

I myself have been described as the perfect Proverbs 31 woman, (besides the bit of being married I'm sure;) and, I hope I get those qualities from my Mom. We may argue a lot, and get sick of each other, but at the end of the day, she's my Mom, and I'm her daughter, and I love her very much.

Mom, you are so awesome, and I love you so much<3


¹⁰ A wife of noble character who can find?
   She is worth far more than rubies.
¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her
   and lacks nothing of value.
¹² She brings him good, not harm,
   all the days of her life.
¹³ She selects wool and flax
   and works with eager hands.
¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships,
   bringing her food from afar.
¹⁵ She gets up while it is still night;
   she provides food for her family
   and portions for her female servants.
¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
   out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
   her arms are strong for her tasks.
¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
   and her lamp does not go out at night.
¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
   and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
   and extends her hands to the needy.
²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
   for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
²² She makes coverings for her bed;
   she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
²³ Her husband is respected at the city gate,
   where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
²⁴ She makes linen garments and sells them,
   and supplies the merchants with sashes.
²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come.
²⁶ She speaks with wisdom,
   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household
   and does not eat the bread of idleness.
²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
   her husband also, and he praises her:
²⁹ “Many women do noble things,
   but you surpass them all.”
³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
³¹ Honor her for all that her hands have done,
   and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Let's Try This Again..

     Okay, I decided to make a WHOLE NEW blog, since I couldn't set my old one the way I wanted it. Not to mention the fact that I hadn't posted since AUGUST! But, I'm gonna try and keep up with this one.
     I am still SO tired from this weekend. Never in my life had I pushed myself to stay awake for as long as I did this passed weekend. For those who don't now, I was awake for a grand total of 37 hours. Boy, I was tired. I even slept through the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Oklahoma. It was a 5.6. Last night was an aftershock of 4.7 that lasted aobut 15-30 seconds. Facebook exploded. It was acctually kinda funny, haha. Only Oklahoma can contain a blizzard, a record low of -31 degrees, a drought, record high of 121 degrees, intence storms, tornados, AND earthquakes in 1 year. Gracious. All these crazy weather disasters everywhere are kinda freaking me out. But, a can tell you, these are only the birthing pains, I'm sure.
     I think, Bro. Neil teaching aobut Eshatology (sp?) is happening at just the right time. I really wanna know more and more about it everyday.
