Randomness!!

I'm so glad to have a break from school for a little while! I'm going to enjoy my break and not sure what all I'm going to do, but I know that "spring cleaning" will be done in the whole house! I tired just thinking about it! I also plan to read a lot this fall as well! Andrew and I have also planned to spend a week at Talladega going to the Hall of Fame, Truck Race and Happy Hour race practice and qualifying). I'm so excited about that I can't wait for that! I have always wanted todo that kind of stuff! It's our vacation this year! I also can't wait for Saturday football games! I love Alabama Football! Roll Tide!!
Over the week, I have interviewed for a new job which I got. I hope to start by the end of the month! I can't wait! I also got my grade for Microbiology! I passed with a C, and a C means continue! I was so glad to be done with it! It got boring to me after a while! I do have to say that I enjoyed lab the most!
Also since my last post, Lady and Casper have been to the Vet! They are doing great! Casper even lost weight from last year. Also, Lady has had the surgery! Let's just say that Lady isn't so much of a lady anymore! She also had her eye fixed. She had a cherry eye. It really started to bother Andrew and I noticed before she went in. She's doing fine now, and we both think that she has gained about a pound or two since!
Andrew's been busy with school and work. But just think he will graduate school next year and we can't wait! I'm so excited for him to finish and I know he can't either!
---------------------------
Also, my neighbors and I got together and threw a shower for one of pregnant neighbors! She's having a boy and she's so excited!! We all can't wait for Brody to be born!

------------------------------
Andrew and I have been so excited about our Missionary Friends Levi and Lindsey have been home for three weeks to visit family and a wedding of her brother's. We had a great time visiting with them at the Potts' house on Monday! We got pictures and I hope I can get them on soon but I got one of me and their son. He is like having a man's face on a baby's body! He looks so much like his dad!!

We hung out for about six hours just catching up with life since they have left and laughing until our sides ached!! It was just like old times and I can speak for all of us that I can't wait until they come home for leave in January for six!
I know this post was everywhere but this is just what life has been like for us over the last week and a half!

Life is going to get crazy...

Over the next few weeks. I being finals! I'm so excited and ready for a break! Next Thursday is my last day of Micro, and I can't wait! It has been a crazy class!
Also next week my friends, Amanda, Mary Beth, and I have our very first 5k!! We have new shoes and the will power to do it!
I also can't wait to spend some time with my great friend Christina who is getting married in January! She asked me to be her wedding coordinator!! I was so excited when she asked me that I almost cried!! She and her finace' remind me a lot of Andrew and myself. They have dated five years like us, they are about the same age as Andrew and I were when we got married, and they are so happy to have each other that nothing could make them upset with each other. They truly love the Lord with all their hearts and anyone could see it with how they treat and love each other!
I also get to celebrate with my neighbor who is pregnant with their first child. IT'S A BOY!! My neighbors and I are so excited about all the babies that are born or soon to be born on our street!! There will be four new babies for the Holidays this year! I can't wait either. I also don't need to drink that water!! I'm staying away from that one for at least two more years.
Andrew and I are so going to be aunt and uncle again! Andrew's younger sister, Laura, is pregnant. She should find out what she's having soon! I can get my baby fix and go on with life until God sees fit to give us one(hopefully, He will wait until I graduate!)
Well, I know this is a random post, but I know I will be really busy so I thought I would give you a heads up so you don't think I have forgotten about y'all! Hope the end of summer vacation has treated you well!! Until next time!

Snow Day!!

We were so surprised that it was going snow!! It started snowing on the 9th. We made the stupid trip to Kroger that everyone else in Hernando was making Sunday after church!! We came home and waited for the snow!! It finally started snowing at about 4:30 that afternoon. I knew I had to have pictures since I have the new camera and all!!



We went out with our neighbors, Brad and Brittany, to have some fun!! We road their four-wheeler, doing doughnuts in the street, and did a few sliding down the hill close to our house!! We had a lot of fun. We came back to our house to have hot chocolate and to play cards. We stayed up until 12:30 hanging out together!
The next day, we went out to do it all over again and to build a snow man!! The dogs loved it!! They had their sweaters on and had a blast rolling in the snow!!

We had a blast playing in the snow with our neighbors. We were invited to go to a friend's house who has a lot of hills to sled on, but we were afraid of how the roads were and decided to stay at home and spend some much needed time alone.

Dog Sitting, Camp, and Everything Else

I know it's been awhile since that last time I've posted!! I have done a lot these last few weeks. I've dog sat, went to camp, and have had a few interesting experiences. Our great neighbor's Brad and Brittany went out of town for vacation. Andrew and I offered to keep their dog, Abby. She's a Boston Terrier. She's just the cutest-sweetest dog. Casper, our dog, didn't know what to think about having another dog in the house for the week. Casper is very laid back after a few minutes. Abby on the other hand isn't. Casper looked at me like why is she here several times that week. She was fine!! I loved keeping her!! She was very easy! Abby was good until it came time to sleep. I have never heard a dog snort and snore as much as she does. The first few nights we let her sleep with us just like Casper does. One morning at three, I woke up by her snorting and snoring. I got her and took her down stairs to the cage, and she slept there the rest of the time that she was there. She even does this when she's awake. Here is what it sounds like:

------------------------------------------- The next week, Andrew and I went to church camp. It was a great time with the Lord that I really needed. This was Andrew very first camp experience. Andrew enjoyed it, and I'm glad he did. Andrew was asked by David Fields to help with music by playing the drums. We both were excited to get to go. It was just like camp when I was younger, but girls and boys where both there at the same time. It was different not sleeping next to Andrew at night. We were however in the same cabin. Andrew on the boys' side, and I was on the girls.

I had a lot of fun with the girls in my room. I was in a room with Anna, Mackenzie, Cora, Katie, Avery, and another lady. They asked about everything, and I was willing to share with them. I had told them what God was doing in my life and how He has changed me into the woman I am today. The lady that I was in a room with was Mrs. Vivian Jones. I had a lot of fun talking with her about everything. She and her husband, Russell, are the camp's Supervisors. They have worked the camp over twenty years I would say. They are truly compassionate about for everyone to know about the love of our Lord. I love to take pictures as most of you know so here are just a few of the pictures that I took. There are some from almost all the events that took place. There was quiz bowl, singing, playing, and worshipping.

The next picture is of Andrew and his shadow for the week. He's name was Ray. Ray followed Andrew everywhere. He even ate with us a few times. I thought he was just he cutest thing. Ray was also saved this week at camp. I smiled on the inside and out when I saw how much of an impact that Andrew was making on his life and all the lives of the kids at camp. I'm married to my best friend who really shows God's love to everyone.
Andrew also had some googly eyed girls that liked him as well. They thought he was just the cutest thing. I didn't get a picture of them. I wished I would have now. I picked on one. She came up just before we were about to leave and asked for his autograph. I looked at her and said, "So you have enjoyed my husband this week." She looked at me like I was crazy which I am if you ask some people. I still don't think she believed me. I wasn't trying to be rude just wanted to see her reaction when she found out that he was married. He had a lot of fans that week. Andrew wasn't to sure about all of it. LOL!!

Here are the rest of the pictures from camp. They included pictures of everyone in our cabin. Andrew missed the picture because he was helping pack up all the band gear that we brought. We both had a lot of fun at camp. We loved watching people grow in Christ. I had a tearful moment thinking about what was going on last year, what I was about to do, and how I have really changed over the last year. I was nervous about starting nursing school and what it would do to our marriage, but I left all my worries at camp because I know that this is God's will, and I have nothing to worry about. On the trip there, Arkansas has some beautiful mountains that we have never seen before. I didn't take pictures on the way so I took some on the way back. I'm going to leave you with a video from camp:
