I have a break..... well sort of

This week has been nice. Classes are done but work is not, so even though I have somewhat of a break I am not just sitting around doing nothing. This week is going to be busy. I have Christmas parties and Christmas shopping that I still need to finish. It seems like this week is going by so fast. Tomorrow after a full day of watching kids I am heading down to my sister Casey's house to spend sometime with her and my brother-in-law and my niece Lyndsey. This will be Lyndsey's first Christmas she turns 1 in February. Then on Thursday Casey, Keith and Lyndsey and I, will drive over to our other sisters house. Kim and her 6 kids and Casey, Keith, Lyndsey and my parents and I will have our Family Christmas.

Then back with Casey to her house Thursday night. I am leaving Casey's on Friday and going to Riverview for the Christmas Eve Service, not sure yet what service I am going to so if you know what service you will be at let me know!! I am hoping that this year my whole family will join me at Riverview so that I don’t have to head over to my family's Church when I am done at Riverview. My parents are have been thinking about switching Churches they are just not getting fed where they are at right now. Then I wake up Christmas morning open the presents from my parents and then it is over to my Grandmas house. The whole rest of the day will be spent with my cousin’s aunts and uncles we will have breakfast sing carols and read the Christmas story. Then we sleep a while make lunch. Eat and then it is off to our yearly custom of going to the movies on Christmas day. I know that might sound crazy but we have done it for years. On our way home from the movie we will stop somewhere and get something warn to drink then we will drive around for about two hours and look at Christmas lights. Then next week it is off to Ignite I am so excited that I am going!!!!!! Then after Ignite is over work and school start up again and the break is over. :(

Mall

I was at the mall today and I finally found something to wear for Kristen and Jeremy's wedding. It has taken me forever to wear something but it has been done, I actually think that I will be able to use that as my Christmas outfit too. Now I need to find jewelry for it but I think that Shelby and Kelsey are going to help me with that either tomorrow or Friday. I as getting so excited that Christmas is coming the Music always reminds me that Christmas is fast approaching. I still have so many people to buy gifts for. Ok time to help Blake with his homework and study for a test.

New Car

So my parents decided that it would be the best idea for me to buy my Dad'd jsep. I am so happy!!! Even though wrecking my car totally sucked I am glad that I am getting the jeep out of it. I guess good things do happen in all situations I just didn't think that I would see the good results out of this situation so fast. The only down side with the jeep is that it sucks up that gas, and with gas prices being as high as they have been that can get a little bit expensive. I also need to clean it. Since it was my dad's car it is inside is not clean at all, not to mention the outside which is cakes in mud. Thats what you get when you have a dad who loves to hunt and be outside.

It smells like Sugar Beets!!! I guess deer like to eat them so my dad had to buy some to place around his deer stands so now the jeep smells like beets. I hate beets especially the smell of them. I guess I cant complain though it could smell a lot worse. It could smell like dead deer since one was in the back about a week and a half ago. Luckily that smell didn't stay. So if anyone knows of a place that does a good job cleaning out the inside of cars let me know!!!!

Life

Today was a good day. I really enjoy spending time with a family. Growing up I was pretty much a only child even though I have two sisters they are 10 and 11 years older than me, so growing up it was mainly me and my parents. Now living with my aunt and Shelby, Kelsey and Blake. I feel more like a part of a family again. Just being able to have someone to do the dishes with is great. It is so nice me and Shelby pretty much spent the whole night together. We cleaned the kitchen, put up Christmas lights and just talked, and watched some t.v. I love it!!!!


Tomorrow morning she will some in and wake me up, she is my new alarm clock until I get mine back from the apt. Then in the afternoon I will pick her up from her hair appointment, and we will go shopping, we both need a black shirt for a picture for my Grandma and Grandpa. We are also picking up the platter that we made for them for Christmas. Ok well it is getting to close to my bedtime. I want to finish watching Armageddon.

Busy Busy

OK today was a very busy but wonderful day!!!

1.THE LANSING CHRISTIAN GIRLS BASKETBALL IS THE CLASS D STATE CHAMPS

( for the second year)

The game was awesome it was back and forth the whole time. Finally it went into over time and Tiffanie Shives came through with a 3 pointer well not only was it a 3 pointer but it was easily a NBA 3 pointer. Than they fouled her and she was on the line and made both of her shots, to be honest I don’t really remember much more besides the fact that they missed a basket and we had a few more points and we ended up winning in overtime by 4 points I don't remember because I was so nervous and so excited at the same time. What a wonderful ending to a awesome season. I am so happy for Tiffanie who was named Miss Basketball for the State of Michigan in case you don’t know what Miss Basketball is I'll try to explain it the best that I can. All the Varsity coaches in the state from A B C and D class schools vote on which girls basketball player they think is the best Tiffanie Shives had the most amount of points. So she was given her rightfully earned title as Miss Basketball which means that she is the best basketball player in the state of Michigan. She will be playing next year for MSU and I cant wait to watch her play there. ok here are four websights about Tiffanie and Lansing Christian.

I'll post some later about the State Championship game.

2. I moved out today and thanks to Ross and Ashley and their truck and to my Mom and Day and their jeep and a Uhal and to Mike and his Jimmy. I was able to get pretty much everything moved over in less than a hour and a half. Then Angela came to my aunts house and we were able to get my room set up and all my cloths put away. The only thing that we were not able to fix was the cable but we need to have someone else fix that because it need to get re hooked up from the basement and it was way to confusing when we went down there to try to look at it to get it fixed.

Well it has been a very busy day and I am really tired, I am going to go to bed in my new room for the first time. But first I have to go say hi to my cousin Shelby and her friends Alyssa, Lindsay, they just got back from their first High School Formal dance. They all looked so cute.

I hate Insurance companies

OK I am getting really frustrated with everything with my car. They keep leaving me messages on my cell phone to call them about my car but when I call them they tell me nothing different it is the same thing over and over. I am starting to get really ticked off!!!


They wanted to know wether or not I wanted the cost of my Cd player that I had put in my car for my birthday, added to the price of the vehicle, but since the car is "totaled" why would I want that added to the price of the car, I just had it put in so I would not be able to take it out and use it in the next car that I get if it is added into the price on the car, if it is added into the price of the car than they would be able to just sell it to someone else.


Also since there it only "cosmetic" damage to the car and the engine is not broken or anything than I might want it added to the value of the car because if they give me enough money back for my car than I might be able to just get the car fixed, and just have to pay a little of money out of my own pocket to fix it.


But before I decided on wether or not I am going to be able to do that, I need to know how much money I would get for my car and how much money the repair shop wants to fix it. But the repair shop tells me that they need to know how much the insurance company is giving for the my car first before they decided how much they will fix it for. Which makes no sense at all.


The insurance company is sending over another person to look at the car to tell how much I will get for it even though two other people have already looked at it. It is just driving me crazy, I will not know anything for at least four more days. Which means that no decisions can be made before than, and that I am out of a car for that many more days. I just don’t know how people do it. I guess it just gives me a reality check of how lucky I have been to have a car, and how lucky I am that I am even alive. Well I am still doing good, but my back is still really stiff and I cant lift much so I have no idea how I will be able to move out this weekend since I cant lift anything that weighs that much, so if anyone wants to help please let me know it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you eveyone who was praying for me!!!!!

Please Pray!!!

ok so one more reason that I hate slush. I got in a car accident, don't worry I am ok and so is the other lady. Her Big truck is fine but my poor little Saturn well that is a different story. I think that it is totaled, which is the last thing that I need right now. I need to remember, Romans 8:28 "God works good in ALL situations for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. " Well it is one thing to say that and to think about it, but it is another thing to believe it. I know that God is going to show his hand in this situation but sometimes it's hard. It could have been a lot worse if my car had gone off the right side of the road, I most likely would be dead because there is a huge ditch and my car would have rolled down the ditch. And at one point my drivers side was in front of the truck but at the last second my car slid around and the truck hit my passengers side instead. So I have many things to be thankful for. As my mom said "Things could be a lot worse instead of getting a call from you I could have been getting a call from the Police telling me that you were dead, a car can be replaced you can't." I am fine but my back is really sore I sure it is just from the impact but I need to go see the chiropractor and have my back but back into the right place. Well if you could please pray that some how God will provide a car, my Dad is hoping that he can get a new truck and I would just have his jeep, so please pray that everything would work out.
