You boys ever met a real country girl?
Talkin, true blue, out in the woods, down home, country girl

She's a hot little number in her pick-up truck
Daddy's sweet money done jacked it up
She's a party-all-nighter from South Carolina,
a bad mamajama from down in Alabama
She's a raging cajun,
a lunatic from Brunswick,
juicy Georgia peach
With a thick southern drawl,
sexy swing and walk,

brother she's all Country, (shoot)
from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country,
from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised,
she ain't afraid to stay, country
Brother she's country

A hell raisin sugar when the sun goes down,
mama taught her how to rip up a town
Honey dripping honey from the hollerin Kentucky,
getcha flippin kinda trippie like a Mississippi hippie,
She's a Kansas princess,
crazy mother trucker,
undercover lover
Thick southern drawl,
sexy swing and walk,

Brother she's all Country (shoot)
from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country,
from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised,
she ain't afraid to stay, country
Nothin but country

(thick southern drawl)
(sexy swing and walk)
(aw show 'em how a country girl does it one time now)

Brother she's country, from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
Nothin but country
Yea yeayeaaa
She's country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay, country
Yea she's nothing but country
She's all about the country

From the backwoods she's a homegrown,
down to the bone, she's country

girls...

noah and levi with me

just me and levi

a long story id like to forget...

Alban's visit

alban was here for 4 (?) weeks in august this year. it was alot of fun getting to know him! we were able to take him to do so much while he was here too!!

highlights include:

DISNEYLAND for brian's 16th

family camp

pismo

many trips to the pool

VFA 151 and seeing "the greatest jet in the navy"

and so much more!

so yesterday (and again today) i finally took off my eiffel tower necklace for the first time in a YEAR! i dont even know why but i have worn that just about everyday for 3 years now! when i say almost every day i mean it, in the 3 years id say about 4-5 weeks is all i have not worn it. i know its weird cause its just a necklace but idk its just weird not to wear it anymore. lol anyways i took it off to wear my new prety necklace! maybe now ill start doing it more often! lol

my new necklace! pretty!

what would i do with out this stuff!?

birdy

so last thursday i babysat the LeBlanc kids for a few hours while Kirsten went to run errands. well about 15 minutes after she left while the girls and i played a game and the twins napped we heard a bunch of noise and saw the dog and cat go running down the hall way chasing after something. something very small and scared...

its a little bird! it flew back and landed on this book case! at first i didnt know where it was and i was freaked out that the cat would get ahold of it... but after about 5 minutes of searching we found it there on the book case!

my phone is the only camera i had, but thankfully it takes GREAT pictures! and mind you this is not even zoomed in! it let us get SO close to it. im thinking it must have been in shock or something. it acted dead for quite awhile.

it finally moved a little after at least an hour hanging off the side!
luc and lon woke up from their nap and were so excited to see the bird in their house! they kept wanting me to pick them up to see it. they are such good little boys.
the bird started to freak out and tried to fly away, after slamming into the walls and light a few times... we were all screaming and going crazy, i did not want it to poop on me or something!

the poor thing only made it to the living room and landed on the curtains! it was crazy!! we left the back door cracked and went out to the park to wait for their mom or dad to come home so i could go to work. im sure it eventually made it back outside... i hope!

Naps! but not as in take a nap...

today i was once again reminded just how much i LOVE my job!
we were so busy, but in a good way. not the everyone is super stressed, orders are getting all messed up, people are rude and unhappy, all that. we just had tons of people and it was all going so smoothly. and tips were AWESOME! i think it was pilots come to naps day cause just about every table i had was pilots, hmm...
i just love it! i could not picture having anyother job. (at least not for awhile)
its crazy how even when other parts of life are not going my way i can still have a great job with good pay to depend on, and keep me busy.

could the weather get any better then it is today? i do not think so! i wish it would stay this way longer but i know that before long its going to be insanely HOT!! gotta love lemoore!

i have so much to say but dont know where to start other then to say i am so happy with the life i have!! i still think 20 is going to be a great age for me. i love my house and where i live, i have an awesome job, and amazing family i live with, live down the street from, and 20 minutes away. and i KNOW that in God's timing everything will happen just like it should!

im ok, really.

actually im more then just ok, im great.

as some of you know yesterday i told my boyfriend, justin that i need to take a break and have some space. i didnt break up with him, im not sure if i will be breaking up with him either.
i asked to do this because im not sure anymore if he is the guy from me. i know alot of people tell me im only 20 and ive only been with him a month so its not like i need to be in a big hurry and all this soon. but im not the kinda girl that just "dates" plus that is not fair to do that to him.

anyways i am just as happy with my life now as i was a little over a month ago, and i can tell you that honestly. i dont need to talk about it because there is nothing to talk about. it is what it is. :) so i guess if you want to help me in some way you can just pray that God's will is done!

i love you all, thanks for caring about me!!

some top fives

1. becoming a christian

2. being in the O.R. (at 14 years old) to see my little brother being born and then also cutting his cord

3. going on the tiger cruise

4. making a dream come true and going to france

5. meeting a guy i prayed for my whole life, then getting to look up into the sky and see him fly a jet right over me, turn it around and land right before my very eyes! and all i can do is just wonder how this has all happened?!

justin is the one going straight and douche is the one turning, he got to fly the cooler looking jet. its painted to match their squadron. im told its the "cag jet" or something like that.
pretty much it looks like the jet when you first enter the base is being painted to look like :)

true love waits

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
But God, to the Christian says,
"No, not until you are satisfied and content with living, loved only be me and alone to have an intensely personal and unique relationship. I love you my child, and until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will NEVER be united with another until you are united with me - exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Keep watching me, expecting the GREATEST things. Keep that attitude knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait, don't be anxious and worry. Don't look around at what others have gotten or who I have given them. Don't look at the things or relationships you think you want. Just keep looking up to me, or you will miss what I have to show you. When you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful then you will ever dream. You see, until the one I have for you is ready, (I am working this minute to have you both ready at the same time) and until you are both satisfied with me and the life I have prepared for you, you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with me - PERFECT LOVE. And my dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh of a picture of your relationship with me, and enjoy materially and sincerely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that i offer you - Myself. I love you utterly, I am God Almighty.
BELIEVE AND BE SATISFIED.

Birthdays in Lemoore

so every year i have lived in lemoore for my birthday we have had the lassen's and boyer's over so you can imagine it was sad when we all lived far away from each other. but this year i finally got to spend it with the lassen's again! on my actual birthday at disneyland, and a week later at my house for "lunner" and cake and ice cream!

BUT... this year was even more special because i also spent it with my boyfriend! what a great guy god sent me.

disneyland is just so magical

could i have picked a better way to celebrate my birthday!?

VFA 151

what a great squadron, i hear they have top knotch pilots in it... :)

i am one lucky girl

so how about you?

1. i'm a christian and that is the most important thing to know about me. in the end nothing else matters.
2. i have had about 7 jobs in my life so far (and i don't count baby sitting and pet/house sitting as a job) but working at naps is the best job ive ever had and i plan on working there until i move away from lemoore.
3. i actually LIKE moving to new places every 2-3 years and i can't picture myself staying in one place for the rest of my life.
4. paris, france is my favorite place to be in the entire world, but disneyland is a very close second.
5. i seem to always get stuck on about 4-5 songs and i listen to them over and over again until i get so sick of them. right now they are:
somewhere over the rainbow
cowgirls dont cry
girl america
white horse
canon in d
6. i enjoy doing things like cleaning & organizing. it makes me happy :)
7. i never believed in the power of prayer like i do now until a few weeks ago
8. my favorite things to watch on tv are either "jon and kate plus 8" or any bridal shows
9. i want to travel everywhere i can possibly go. that is my favorite thing to do in fact...
10. i can sometimes be a very impatient and mean big sister but i love my siblings SO much and i would not trade having them apart of my family for anything in the world.
11. i love making lists, for pretty much everything. and i truely feel like i can not function if i dont have my day planner everywhere i go.
12. i wear contacts some days and glasses other days. i also have straight hair some days and curly hair other days...
13. i just turned 20 on february 23rd and i really think that it's going to be a great year for me!
14. i was in the operating room when my little brother noah was born, and i cut his cord. i was only 14 at the time!
15. pink is my favorite color but i seem to almost aways buy clothes in black or turquoise.
16. i want to go sky diving, sailing, and skiing one day.
17. i love the navy and can't imagine what life would be like not being a dependent. i can't stand when people join and have no pride and respect in what they do.
18. i love having a reason to get dressed up nicely.
19. i have horrible spelling and wish that i could change it but somehow i never do.
20. i love treats and suprises!
21. my sister and i used to pretty much hate each other but now she is one of my best friends and i am so glad we live closer to each other.
22. i can't leave the house with out wearing my bare minerals foundation and eye make up.
23. i hear the sounds of jets flying over my house all day every day so much that i don't even notice them anymore.
24. i'm not gonna lie i screen phone calls/txt messages daily. :)
25. if someone told me i would be where i am in my life right now a year ago i would have never beileved them! but i'm happy this is where i have gotten to so far.

twenties

i have offically entered them!
crazy stuff!
its gonna be a good year :)


ill blog about my birthday later when im not so tired though...

this time tomorrow

i will be on my way to DISNEYLAND with the 3 youngest kids!
and let me tell you i cant wait to take them!
i hope they have the best time of their life!!!!!!!

i love disneyland.

lately i have been wanting to blog about all the things going on in my life but there is so much i just can't say yet.
i must say though i never realized just how much god answers prayers. i can honestly say i with out a doubt believe in the power of prayer.

anyways its friday night, well actually it is saturday at 2:20am! i had to much coffee, can you tell? so that means i have been laying in bed for hours trying to sleep but im just not tired! i want to sleep so much because i do not want to be tired all day tomorrow but looks like i will be. sunday we leave for disneyland too! i am SO excited to take the little kids for their first time ever! its alot of money but oh so worth it. i know this sounds silly but i cant believe im going to be 20 too. time has gone by so fast. im so excited to see what life will be like for me in my 20's i think good things will happen though. im excited to see. i decided to stop being worried about whats going to happen when i turn 21 and am no longer my dads dependent and just trust that god has a plan for me. and i feel great about it.

well thats all im going to say for now, i think ill try to sleep once again!

monday blues

what do you do in your boredom?

its been a boring day all day long! i woke up counting down the hours until it was time to leave for work. and now that i'm at work im counting down the hours until its time to go home. and once i get home i'll be laying in bed for hours waiting to be able to fall asleep!

oh mondays...

i realized i have not blogged for quite sometime. maybe its because ive been SO busy with work. ive been picking up alot of extra shifts which is great!!

or maybe its because there has just not been anything to blog about lately?

i do have some exciting news and things going on lately but i cant share them on here... yet at least so you will have to stay tuned i guess!

what a pretty flower :)

superbowl sunday

i know of a great place for ya'll to "watch the big game" and a great waitress to wait on you :)

Proverbs 31: 10- 31

10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

it finally hit me

after over 4 months, i realize how much i miss my friends in virginia! :(

aww ...

how did you start your new year?

i for one had high hopes but about the time i got to the dudleys house for a new years eve party my car started to have smoke come from the hood. and you can imagine that was not a good time for me. the night was... well interesting. but thankfully it "only" ended up costing me $220.00 to get it fixed and i had it back in less then a week.

thanks alot car!

can you handle this?

he is some kinda cute!

guys out there

Ok here is the deal, I am a very hard headed, set in my own ways, and just down right stubborn kinda girl. I know I’m crazy some times and very complicated but I know what I want and I won't just settle for less. I know what I say you think "yeah right she says that now but she does not mean it" but the thing is I do. I’m not trying to say that there is a perfect guy out there that will believe in everything I believe in and have all the same opinions but I am saying that there is a guy out there that will have the same ideas and things important to him that I have. Sure there will be lots of little things we disagree on but when it comes to the biggest most important things we will both be on the same page. I know that God will bring this guy to me. And until then I have no problem at all walking away from the other ones. The thing is most people don’t really know what true love is because they get so caught up in the "being in love experience" and the reality its just lust.
So to all you other people out there that feel like me keep your hopes high cause it will happen and that guy will find you in God's time. I for one and not worried that it won’t happen!
And to all you haters out there that think I’m crazy, well you will see what God is going to do in my life.
With that being said, if you guys are still wanting to ask me on dates and can handle all of my rules and standards well then I have a great idea for our first date.
btw I of all people have a great book recommendation to every one it's called "The 5 love languages". And I'm telling you you should totally read it! It really applies to everyday life situations, co workers, brothers, sisters, parents, & friends. It's really helpful I love it!

DISNEYLAND!!

What will I celebrate?

February, 23 2009

I will celebrate my 20th birthday of course!
