Since I've been away...

Hey friends!

It's been 3 weeks since I've written and boy oh boy has a lot happened! Well, not really, but kind of. :)

On the 15th of this month, Jessi and I took the kids on an adventure of a lifetime. I guess not really an adventure, just the longest car ride of their life! We drove from Fishers, Indiana to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. What were we thinking, right? Well Jessi had a wedding to attend in Fargo, North Dakota and since my mom's house was on the way, they just dropped me off for the weekend.

Now as most of my friends know, my 21st birthday weekend was by far the BEST weekend of my life, well the weekend I was in South Dakota has to be the second best! I can't even express how much fun I had. South Dakota was never my first choice when it came to places to move after highschool, but over the years I lived there, life definitely got better for me! 

So back to the weekend! Well we got into town on Thursday morning. My mom greeted me at the door and welcomed me HOME! Being the amazing mom she is, while at the fair the previous week she got me a shirt! And if any of my friends know me, they know EXACTLY why it says "SWAG" on it in graffiti letters! So excited about it! After my 4 hour nap, my mom, sister, and I went to go get lunch. We also got our nails and toes done. :) While getting pampered, Jessica Leigh came to see me! Thursday night consisted of seeing Jessica, Alicia, and 2 of my favorite Young Life leaders, Jamie and Jess! Jamie, Jess, and myself did our usual Thursday night BDubs date! (Missed Kari a lot though!) Overall, an amazing day!

Friday was great, too! I got to see and hang out with some really fantastic people! It was my cousin's friend, Tommy's birthday! He got a party bus and you best believe I was on it! But before the party began, I went to a Young Life event where they announced Marty as the new area director! (Mark, you'll always be missed!) But so excited for Marty and to see what Sioux Falls Young Life has in store the next year! With the leaders, it's seriously going to be amazing no matter what! 

Saturday was more of a chill day. Just hung out with the family and friends!

Sunday was also a very chill day. Hung out with my mom, sister, and favorite cousin EVER!<3 Damon Lee Bailey. If anyone knows me, they know him. We're bestfriends! 

In a nutshell, to ALL the people I saw last weekend...THANK YOU so much for one of the best weekends I've had in my lifetime so far! Without y'all I don't know what in the world I would do! 

Momma, Amanda, Damon, Devonne, Paige, Jess, Alicia, all my Young Life friends...

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TONS!

After I got back from South Dakota, it was time to start SCHOOL...COLLEGE...OMG! I'm taking two classes online and one at the school, and boy has this week been insane! Didn't think I could do it, but I would LOVE to announce that I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED MY FIRST WEEK OF COLLEGE!<3

That's it for tonight, folks! It's bedtime.

But before I say goodnight, here are a few snapshots of the weekend! :)
 

 

 GOODNIGHT, BLOGGEES!<3<3<3

 

Ohhh, phobia!

As I'm sitting here on my bed, in a new place, I've realized I have a lot more phobias than I thought. I used to think I wasn't scared of anything, besides small things. Now that I'm actually thinking about it...I'm a lot more scared of things than I used to be.
These are a few I came up with...

Number one: Spiders.
I hate spiders. I don't care how small or how big they are, I hate them.
I don't like to kill them, I don't like to be near them. I freak out when I see them.
Once upon a time, my mom told me that when you see one spider, there's usually 2+ close by. I truly believe that! Because it never fails that I see at least 3 spiders hanging out at once. Not just one, but multiple!!! Either way, 1..2..3...10 I hate them.

Number two: Any flying insect.
They're all pointless anyways.

Number three: Disappointing my parents.
I think a lot of people can relate to this. No matter how old I get or how far away I am from them, just about every decision I make, I pray it doesn't disappoint them.

Number four: The future.
There's not even a name for this, but I am so afraid for the future. Not because I think the world is going to end, but because I like the way things are right now. Maybe you could say I'm afraid of change. Then again, I'm not afraid of the world changing or people changing, I'm afraid of me changing. Things in my life going wrong. I'm not sure, kind of crazy to even think about.

I've named a few of mine, write me a comment and name a few of your fears. I'd love to hear! And if you're afraid of the same things I am, then I'm glad I'm not alone!<3

Until next time, bloggees...
