So I haven't blogged in 400 years because I can never get this stinking website to work! But today, magically, it is up and running perfect so I thought I better take advantage of it while I can!
We went to Memphis with our parents the first weekend of October and had so much fun! It was a very much needed break from work, school, and church work! We went to these two awesome restraunts called Rendezvous which is a rib place and The Pier which is a fancier restraunt that looks over the Mississippi River. They were both so good so if you are ever in Memphis, you definitely should go to those 2 places!!
This past weekend was extremely busy. We went to Columbia, Ms on thursday (10.16.08) to have dinner with Mitch and Brandy Rose and to go to their church's outreach event for the local highschool called "5th quarter" after the football game. It was really fun! They had the Columbia high school drumline play then Royal Tailor Band did a concert and of course they were great! Their lead singer Tauren sang at our wedding if that helps any of you know who they are lol. After 5th quarter we stayed the night with Nate and Shera Rios the Student pastor of Woodlawn. He and Cliff were supposed to go golfing on Friday morning for Nate's birthday but we all stayed up talking until 5 am and when we finally woke up on saturday it was raining so they decided to stay in and play xbox 360 all day! lol! I had lunch with Amber Mac then came back to the Rios' house and chilled with Shera all day and played with their 4 boys! We went out for dinner at the Wingery and then came back to Meridian late Friday night!
Of course we boarded Elvis and I picked him up Saturday at noon. After I picked him up I went to get a pizza from Little Ceasars which is on one of the busiest roads in Meridian called North Hills St. When I opened my door to get out Elvis jumped out of the car and took off running as fast as he could!! I started screaming for him to come back but he didn't listen! He ran straight to the edge of the road and started chasing cars, never actually getting in the raod thank God!! He fnally came back to me when I yelled "Elvis do you want a treat!?!?" haha he will do ANYTHING for a treat! I was crying and shaking and so mad at him! I got him in the car and closed the door to go into little ceasars and this lady was standing there and said "Not exaxtly the best place to let your dog out for a joy run" ugh if you could of heard her attitude and the way she said it you would have died. I was already really upset so I kind of yelled at her...haha I was like "do you honestly think I let my dog run on the busiest street in Meridian? I'm not an idiot!" Then she smiled and made this humph noise so I was just told her that she better mind her own business and not say one more word to me and walked past her. When I came out she was gone whch made me happy because when I calmed down I felt bad and kinda embarrassed for snapping at her like that lol. Oh well!
School is going really well! I dropped my physics class because it was so hard and I was doing really bad in it! I was taking the one day a week class which is an excelled pace class and I need to take that stuff with the slow pace schedule! I am terrible at science and math. So now instead of taking 6 classes I am only taking 5! Midterms came out last week and I have 4 A's and a C! I am pretty sure I can get the C up though so I am not really worrying about it. We have only had 2 tests and I got a 74 on the first on and an 82 on the 2nd one and those are the only 2 grades we have in that class which puts my average at a 78! I should be able to get it to at least a B by finals! Well I think that is about it! Other than I pretty much lost all respect for Colin Powell yesterday when he came out and supported Obama...I am ready for this election to be done and over with! McCain-Palin 08!!!
Also, Cliff and I should be coming to town for Christmas December 19th if all goes as planned! I can't wait!
Hopefully I'll be able to update soon!

My Blog Is Back!!
So I haven't had access to my blog in like 3 weeks! For some reason I couldn't type in the post box to add a new post, and today it is magically working again! Woo Hoo! I have been so rediculously busy with school it's insane! I am definitely starting to regret taking 20 credit hours this semester...I am doing ok so far grade wise, it's just so time consuming! And a lot of the time, I don't have the time!
Rachel came here for my Birthday and we had so much fun! We didn't get to go to New Orleans because of stinking hurricane Gustav! We thought it was going to hit us until the night before, so they evacuated New Orleans and most of the Gulf Coast! We were thinking about going to Indiana but decided not to! Then we were supposed to get Hurricane Ike 2 weeks later, but as you know he went west and hit Galveston, TX. The weekend of my Birthday our church started a revival and so far we've had over 50 people receive the holy ghost! That's really awesome, but we are definitely ready to get back to hearing Bro. Mansfield preaching again! A month of another preacher besides your pastor is no fun! lol even though Bro. Plemons is a good preacher!
I am really excited about this coming weekend because we are going to memphis with Cliff's parents and my Aunt and Uncle! We are going to Graceland and hopefully shopping! haha what trip is comlete without a little mall time? I can't wit to get away for the weekend and see our parents! Well I have a bunch of physics homework and class tonight to I am gonna go!

The Craziness Begins...
So, I started school last Thursday and I love it! =) I was a little shocked though that EVERY teacher gave me homework on the first day! Who in the world thought of that bright idea I'll never know! Needless to say this is the first chance to sit down and write about anything! I am really loving all my classes except for physical science and geography of course lol the two sciences! It is all so boring to me...but I am sure I'll make it though! That is really all that I have been doing lately is going to school, work, church, and home the last few weeks! I have never had so much homework since I have been in college and I have only had a week and a half worth of classes! I am gonna need to be MAJORLY focused this semester, I can already tell!
I am so excited about next Saturday though!!!! A) It's my 21st Birthday! and B) Rachel Anderson flies into Jackson at 12:24pm for a Rachel/Sheena Birthday weekend extravaganza!! It's going to be craziness all weekend! Cliff has already informed me that college football starts that day so me and Rachel better take it somewhere else since as he says "you are ridiculous together"! haha so we are trying to take the party to New Orleans! I am trying to work it all out to go on the Monday after my birthday but we shall see! Don't worry everybody! There won't be any real partying in New Orleans for the newly 21 yr old =) Unless you count a concert on the river, live acrobats and theatrical performances next to Cafe Du Mont, fabulous shopping, and delicious meals at cute little hole in the wall cafes!! Honestly, whoever said they could feel the evil spirits as they crossed the bridge into New Orleans were way more "spiritual" than I ever wanna be! I love it there!! Every town has it's crazies and nut jobs right? HA! But that's all for now ! We are having dinner with Lynette and her family then weare taking the youth bowling tonight from 11-2am so I have to go get ready! I am going to be dead tomorrow! Thank the Lord tomorrow is Saturday!
PS. Happy Birthday tomorrow Aunt Frieda! Love you and wish I was there! =)

Happy Happy!
So we have a ton of catching up to do! Since I last blogged Destined08 came and went and so did our trip to the Commune-ity Meeting in Cincinatti! Also, BMG asked me to stay changed my position and downgraded my job so I have way less responsibility! I know that sounds like a negative but it was actually the Lord answering prayer! As usual =)
Destined went perfectly! The singers and our music was incredible, Ryan did a FANTASTIC job (he preached "Destined Generation"), and the "Aftershock" after hours event was a blast with a 3-on-3 basketball tourney, pizza, a coffee shop, and music! All our hard work, especially Cliff's, definitely paid off! Cliff had everything SO, SO, SO, organized! Everything went off without a hitch and no one was asking any questions about what they had to do or where they were supposed to be! Cliff had iteniraries for everyone MCing and all the volunteers with their individual job responsiblities and duties haha it was rediculous...I don't think I have ever met a more organized person than my husband. I really wish I was more like him! We were so tired after our long weekend but it was great fun! Cliff had a lot of fun with Ryan and Jordan, so I was glad he got to have some guy time which he never gets!
We rode on a van with the MS district youth committee to the Commune-ity Meeting in Cincy and we really enjoyed ourselves. The ride there and back was aweful because there were 11 of us and our luggage in a 12 passenger van but we tried to make the best of it! The church paid our way to go which was great and we are so thankful because we wouldn't have been able to afford to go on our own! We had fun hanging out with a bunch of different Student Pastors and hearing some good preaching! Tim Rutledge did AMAZING! So did Nate Rios and Russ Cripps...they were great messages. Tim preached about the 3 temptations of youth ministry Nate preached about having a vision, and Russ Cripps preached about love with no regrets! They were my 3 favorite and the 2 other speakers I honestly couldn't tell you anything else but their title! hehe Oops! =) The bad thing is that we had to put Elvis Presley in the Kennel and even though he loves it, I hate it! I need to find out what Hotels let shmuppies come along so we can take him everywhere!! He did however make a friend with a ginormous Great Dane named Rosie. It was the funniest thing she would just lay there and lick Elvis while he jumped all over her! It was the owner of the Kennels Great Dane and she told me that they just sold the last of her puppies last week and they were about the same size as elvis and some of them were black so she prolly thought that he was one of her pups! How sweet, except next time I don't think I want my baby mingling with other dogs...especially ones that could eat him for a snack in one bite!!! lol Even though Rosie was super sweet and stood up to give me a hug and lick my face! She was about 4 inches taller than me when she stoof on her hind legs! IKES!
Another really exciting thing is that I start school tomorrow! I am ready to get going and start getting some credits that actually matter under my belt! This semester I will be getting a 4.0! No more of this 3.8 buisness(at least taht is what I am praying!!!) ...Also Rachel Anderson is coming into town for my birthday on August 30th and I cannot wait!!! And my auntie Frieda got me the new iphone 3g...I can't wait to get that in the mail next week!! I know I am spoiled but oh well! haha =)
