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....
