Very Very Extroadinary....E is even more than anyone that you adore....
Name that movie?????

So, you all should be proud..it only took me a week to update my blog this time!

Last weekend I went with my mom and dad to try on ski boots! And guess what?? Yep...it still hurts. I just don't know what is going on! It's really confusing...but my opinion is that its my calves, and the fact that I am out of shape! So I have been flexing my calves and will hopefully be able to handle it for two days...skiing is my favorite thing in the world and I'm not about to let that go this easily! So everyone pray for me that I might make it through our ski trip next weekend! Can you believe one week from tomorrow I'll be driving up there??? AHHH!!! It's so close...im not packed! haha!

So anyway..then Saturday night I went to a LEGO Party!!! How awesome is that?? I met some new friends and made some great memories...sadly my BFOTB wasn't there. She was at home sick...so sadly she didnt get to enjoy the fun! Here are some pictures of our wonderful lego land that we invented....

This is obviously our park...(hence the title) you can see the basketball goal in the background..some slides...a teter totter (sp?) on the far back right...and just some fun toys,,and of course trees!!!

Thats Melissa and Jen!! They were the co-creators of the wonderful IDAHO!!! (We chose idaho because we thought it would be less likely to go through natural disasters)
We have a Zoo for animals...and jail for the people...an icecream parlor (complete with an arctic snowboarding policeman, horses, and a drive through window!!!)...and a mcdonalds!!! You can't see it..but there are 2 video game arcades, and a simulator that is a pink rocket ship!!
And then on Sunday..after church Nathan, Monique and I went to the Coliseum to help pack food for people in Haiti!! It was a lot of fun...and the best part was that we were actually there when they hit 1,000,000!!!! And by the time we left, they were almost up to 50,000 on top of that!!! It was so great! Our group specifically packed 1296 meals and we were on table 42!! just think about how many people were there and how many people we fed with just 45 minutes working!!! It is a great opportunity to help others!! There is another event that is going to happen at Wichita State on February 5th through the 8th! Go to the website.... http://www.numanainc.com/ to find out the specific times so you can help too!

This week had been pretty busy for me as well...on Monday I had a pampered chef party!! It was so cool! Not many came..but we had a lot of fun!! And then it was time to watch all of my shows...getting back into the seasons it gets pretty hectic!! especially when monday night i have 3 shows...tuesday i have 1 show (eventually)....wednesday 2 shows...thursday (nothing yet!!)...and the weekend i dont have any...but still thats a lot!! maybe i should stop my addictions?? but its ok...i have dvr so i dont have to worry about it too much!

Then on tuesday....caleb and i went and finalized the wedding place!! I'm so excited...me as the maid of honor had to approve of the venue! And let me tell you...its so pretty! I love the vaulted ceiling!! So that was exciting...im flying to washington on february 24th so i can drive back with janet and then all the wedding plans will start getting accomplished...

Wednesday...church of couse!! and i helped my friend with Statistics before that...my skills cease to amaze me!! lol! It's odd how much i like to do statistics...im one of those nerdy math people..and im ok with it!

Well today is a new day...lunch with the parentals...and then this weekend should be pretty exciting! Tomorrow briawna and I are actually going to go to an art show...i think it should be fun! its all about healthy relationships! I'm curious to see what it is going to be!

I guess I better be going now...hope you all have a fantastic day!!!

Here's my thought for the day....

Understanding...

I hope you all are understanding that I haven't updated this in like forever!!! Lots has happened since i last posted too!

3 Months...21 Days...is a long time to catch up on ! Lets see..in November, I turned 22! Crazy right??? Who knew I would ever make it this far...I'm can't believe i am this old either! For my birthday, nothing big happened lol....On the actual day anyway...My best friend and I did our laundry!! It was awesome! lol!

But a week or so after the actual day, the guy i was dating at the time took me to see Jeremy Camp, Natalie Grant, and Bebo Norman! It was an awesome concert! I loved it...I'll be honest..I was so touched by God's presence at that concert that i cried...unbelievable!

Natalie Grant is amazing! Her inspiring words and voice are irreplaceable! I will be honest...on her CD its not that great...but in concert she is wonderful!!

Lets see at the end of November for Thanksgiving...my cousin Kasey got married to his best friend Ashley! Their wedding was in Fort Worth, Texas and it was beautiful! So we spent all of Thanksgiving break in Fort Worth! We shopped on black friday and my cousin, Jessamyn and I went to see "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carey!! I'll be honest...its a little scary...lol! I guess I should have taken my mom up on all those years watching "Scrooged" so I would have been more prepared! lol! It was in 3D so it made it more exciting! And at that theatre...it wasn't just Dinner at my seat...we had tables and reclining chairs..and cup holders...and it was awesome!

Then in December...I finished my Literature class and received my Associates Degree...its not much..The degree is an Associate of Arts! It's pretty much nothing. I am taking this semester off of school and working full time and looking into schools for the fall! I have decided that I am either going to get my degree is Computer Science or Management Information Systems! Because I am really interested in Forensics! But not just forensics...Digital Forensics! And there is an awesome Master's program at UCO that I might look into... But lets remember all of this will come in due time! Now, I am just deciding where to finish up my bachelor's! I am looking at WSU (of course), K-State, KU, and UCO. UCO is the one with the forensics master program so thats why its a part of my options. I will keep you all updated when some final decisions are made...dont assume anything though! Remember...I change my mind way to often to bet on it!

So many things happened in December...for one...one of my best friends, Janet, got engaged!!!! And I was there!! I was so excited! Her fiancee's sister and I traveled to Kansas City and video taped the whole thing! It was so cute! And she asked me to be the maid of honor!! So they are getting married this summer! It is going to start getting really crazy over the next few months planning it! I'm so excited for her too!!

Another wonderful thing happened in December....I was blessed with a nephew, Rosson Drew Byrd!!! He is so precious! Here's some pictures of him...

Here's Rosson at 4 Weeks old!! Isn't he precious??

And here is miss jaylen with her baby brother...she loves him so much!!

And then here is my wonderful niece macy!! she's just precious!

Oh and here is a few pics of the girls from Halloween!! Jaylen was a Labdybug and Miss Macy was a Skunk!!

I personally dressed up for halloween myself!! I dressed up with the boy I was with at the time...and we were Mario and Luigi! It was awesome!! We almost won best costume! Because both of the costumes were homemade by me!!!

So anyway...that was my October, November, and December....so far in January it has been pretty crazy as well! New years I went to an awesome party! A girl from another church threw this huge party and I definitely made some exciting memories!

And then a couple days later I went to my Aunt Susies and the grandchildren met there! We all had fun just relaxing and having some fun cousin time! And then of course the next day, we all traveled to grandmas house! And had christmas! I made my cousin an OSU blanket! I hope he liked it! I decided that since I was an OU Sooner fan that I should at least wrap it in OU wrapping paper!! So I found an awesome OU bag and put the OSU blanket inside of it! It was great!!

Now that we are back to normal around here...no more holidays..no more babies coming...its getting a little bit normal lol! Briawna and I have acquired an obsession to a new game on my wii...Just Dance! Its fantastic! We use it as a work out! And our favorite song is on it too...Wannabe by the Spice Girls! Yep! Thats the best!

Last night we went over to our friend danny's house and watched What Happens in Vegas! It was great! He was an awesome host, chips, salsa, and queso! And peach tea!! YAY!! Thanks to Annie for introducing us to it as well!!

Well, this weekend...theres a girls night tonight that I may or may not go to...i don't understand why girls like to have girls nights...i mean all we are going to do is just watch sappy love movies (that are good don't get me wrong) but all they are going to do is remind me of how single i am and i'll be honest..guys are more fun to hang out with! Now, if it was one of those women's bible studies or something..i would be totally up for it! But really...a friday night to be with just girls...i don't know if i am the only one that feels that way but im not about to ignore guys my whole life!

Anyway...im off my rant...and tomorrow night im going to a LEGO PARTY!! How fun does that sound??? Yep...we are going to take all the legos that everyone owns and build an entire lego empire!! It's awesome! And creative right?? I'll take some pictures and put them up next time...

Well I guess I better get back to work! My mom and dad took their old 1947 chevy pick up to the inspection office and were going to lunch when they get done so I gotta be ready! Hope you all have a blessed day and I will leave you with one thought....
