Well hey! I know its been forever since I've posted, for those of you who actually read my blog, but here's what's been going on. Last Wednesday I got a job at Lone Star Grill as a dishwasher/running the ice cream parlor/everything but a waitress. At first I was just nervous that I wasn't gonna like Melissa (the owner and Nichole's mom) but I like her alright. Mostly I'm being trained to replace Robert cuz he's leaving in May. But now I think I'm gonna have to quit. Mostly cuz I don't think I can multi-task as much as she needs me to. I've just never been a good multi-tasker and that's something she definitely needs. I'm gonna tell her on Thursday that I can't work anymore. It interferes with my school work too, I know everyone thinks I don't actually do any, but the little that I do do, it interferes with. I kinda feel bad quitting but I just really don't like it that much and its not like I really need the money or anything. And I'm not quitting because of Nichole's mom!!!! She told me to tell her if I felt like I needed to quit and well I do feel that way.
But onto a happier note, I'm going to Six Flags on Friday!!!! Yea!!! It's gonna be like so much fun.  :-)  I can't wait, it's gonna be me, Ryan, Chels, Daniel, Chris and Jon.  I know Ryan, me, Chels and Daniel are all gonna be on a fast pass together but I don't know if Chris and Jon are gonna be on one with us.  Becca might end up going, but I have no idea for sure.  I'm soo going to get a tatoo again, cuz that was fun, I enjoy doing the tatoo thing.  I think I'm gonna get a bigger one this year.  The concert is going to be schweet.  There's going to be Audio Adreniline, Kutless(my fav), Disciple, Stellar Kart and one other that I can't member for sure, maybe Hawk Nelson. I dunno I just know its gonna be awesome, oh yeah, and there's 10 new rides there now, which is also gonna just be so cool.
Only seven weeks left of school!!! OPA OPA OPA OPA  I just don't think I can say it enough.  There are not words to describe the happiness I feel about not being in school.  I only have to worry about TAKS, but I'm not really that worried about the ones coming up.  Maybe the science one, but that's about it.  Man but Ryan's going to be graduating in a few weeks and I'm prolly gonna cry at that and when he gets his academic blanket, which he gets tomorrow!!!  His uncle's going to be the one to give it to him, I can just feel myself starting to cry now.  He's going to college over the summer and all of next year, then after he's done at Panola he's going to transfer over to UT Tyler and I'm going to miss him so much!!!!!  Like its crazi how much I"m going to miss him.  :-(  :-(   But I'm gonna spend as much time with him as I can before he leaves, he'll prolly be so sick of me that he'll be glad to be gone. 
Well I think I've bored you enough with my strange/boring life, so I'll let you get back to yours!!

I want to thank all of you that prayed cuz I do believe they were answered.
On Friday Ryan went to Poetry UIL and got first place and what makes this better is that he thought he might could get disqualified cuz of something that was in it. But obviously he didn't cuz he got 1st place, it made me so happy. And I'm sure it made him even happier.
Well we went to a movie tonight, we went and saw Ice Age 2, it was hilarious. There were these two old ladies behind us though who laughed at like stupid stuff that wasn't even funny and their laughs were annoying, like seriously. I just wanted to turn around and be like "Shut UP!! You're so annoying!" But I didn't, Ryan wouldn't let me. And Ryan wanted to hit the two lil kids in front of us, but I wouldn't let him.
Well that's about it. I'm not gonna put a quote at the end of this one, Sorry!!! I just don't feel like looking through a lot of quotes and trying to decide if I've used that one or not, and I'm really tired. And since I'm losing an hour tonight and going to church tomorrow I need some sleep. So Laturz!

Well I'm not going to the Key Club convention and I'm rather disappointed about it. *sigh* It makes me sad. But there's really not much that I can do about it.
I also feel bad cuz the one-act didn't advance yesterday. Apparently some people messed up on purpose so that they wouldn't advance, cuz they didn't wanna risk missing prom. Needless to say Ryan was less than happy about it. He was like so freaking angry about it, I mean it was bad. I didn't get to see him yesterday and I barely talked to him. I miss him like crazy and as far as I know I'm not gonna get to see him today either. Heck I doubt I'll get to see him at all this week. He's got a lot of UIL stuff going on and he's so worked up over it by Saturday he's gonna be so tired he can't do anything. I hope he doesn't have to work Saturday, that would be awful, he'd be like soo angry, he probably would end up not going.
The fact that I'm not gonna get to see him hardly or at all this week makes me sad and depressed , but they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I just hope that all things go well for him this week. So if you're reading this pray for my Ryan!!!! He needs strength to help him through.
I know like this whole post has been about Ryan but thats what I have on my mind right now.
Good day to you all and don't forget, pray for my baby!!!!

Ok so I really don't have like a lot of stuff to do, but still its more than I'm used to.
I have to do my speech, my research paper and R-tar cards. R-tar cards are actually NOT what I'm least looking forward to doing right now. Now that a big surprise, even to me.
Well I went and saw Ryan's play twice and it was ok both times, but I know they can do better. They went over their time limit both times too, but they've cut some stuff so it should be ok now. I certainly hope so. I kinda want them to go to Area, but Area is the day of prom and I don't really want there to be a chance of him being late. But I want them to make it cuz that would be really awesome and he's a senior and so is Bagley and she's like totally put her heart into this and it would be bad if they didn't make Area. *sigh* I'm torn between the two. But I guess if I had to choose I would pick the success of the play.
I went shopping this Saturday and it was awesome!! It was so very productive, even though I didn't think it was really going to be. I got like 4 suits, a skirt outfit, and two blouses. I had to get suits cuz as of right now I'm going to Dallas on Thursday with Key Club. Of course my sponsor is so completely unorganized and she doesn't know for sure yet who's going but I'm pretty sure that I will be. And at this "convention" you can't wear any denim, none at all!!! When my mom told me that I was like, then I have nothing to wear, cuz like the whole of my wardrobe consists of some kind of denim. But like I said, that has now changed and I have some good clothes, that don't consist of denim. But I am going to miss my denim the four days I'm there. Yeah....
I also got my prom shoes and jewelry while we were out shopping, so I'm all set for my prom stuff. Except the reservations, I still need to make those, but I don't know if the people that were going with me and Ryan are still going with us. So much drama, its annoying.
Well I guess I've bored you enough with my life at the moment. So laturz!!
