My life=busy.
I had a great weekend.. and of course didnt want to go back to school:( but only three more weeks til Christmas break!!! YAY!!!
Saturday I went to my great aunts for a bit:) and then we all went to eat. it was fun getting to spend some time with my family:) i always enjoy it.
Saturday night I stayed home and wrapped Christmas presents:) my favorite thing to do this time of year.
Then Sunday was a funfilled packed day!! haha
I went to Sunday school of course:)
then next was the morning service... which by far was AMAZING!!! the choir was awesome. we had Communion for Thanksgiving and it was very reverent.
After Church my family and then basically my other family (their like my second parents) haha we all went to eat at AJ's with another family and Misty came in from Nashville:) she is hilarious and had us laughing ecspecially when the waiter was pouring two drinks at one... and misty looked at her and was like "now this skill". And the new thing is the animal bracelet and misty just found out about them so her dad went and bought her some now she is like (21 of so) and she has a bunch on her arm. so she goes to get her salad and is like i have to show you girls something kewl when i get back and it was her bracelets haha. she gave me two:) the hippo and the kangaroo:) when another waiter came up with one it was a duck and misty freaked out and wanted it so she tried her hardest to get the waiter to trade and had us all laughing. So it was a great lunch:)
Then i had to go home and was suppost to help pick up our yard (which some boys... im not gonna mention any names need to stop doing!!! haha). but we made them come pick it up. ( smart huh???) then I had to go help Garrett on his research paper and by this time it was 2:30. So i had to hurry and get done then come home and get ready for play practice at Church at 4:30. Then after Play practice I went to First Baptist in Cullman to hear Saran Stacey speak:) and all i can say is wow!! he is such an INSPIRATION. it was amazing.
The service started off with Praise and Worship:) which is by far one of my favorite things to do.. After all its the least thing we can do after all He did for us.
Then he began to Preach and he taught on Spiritual Gifts:) which was amazing and he did an excellent job. and during the alter call there were many who went down... and he prayed with each one individually and some were saved!!!! it was amazing.
So I had an amazing end to a wonderful weekend!!!
This week is going to be pretty busy.
Tests.
Play Practice.
Basketball games.
Getting ready for softball next week.
But it will all be fun:)
im getting off here so i can get some sleep:)
goodnight.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving:)
so fall is one of my favorite times of the year:)
the leaves, Thanksgiving (the food), football just about everythign abou it.
But anyways this was my first year home for Thanksgiving in a few years and I enjoyed it:)
so Thanksgiving morning I slept til like 10 something then i got up and my family went to my grandmas to eat:)
Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, rolls, sweet potato casserole:), baked beans, deviled eggs, gravy, potato salad, and a bunch more and then all the deserts (we had a wide variety haha). But it was all great and my oreo cake balls were a HIT:) everyone ate them.
Then I crocheted for along time cause my family was just sitting around and i love to crochet:) hehe. but my second cousin came up and surprise us all:) then my other cousins came in and they called me a grandma cause I was crocheting haha.
But i sat and drank coffee:)
and talked to my aunt and grandma for awhile. it was really special:)
later that evening the all the grandkids came to my house and a few others who are practically family came also. we had to do something for drakes new ipod.
Then we all decided to go play a game of hide and seek in the dark at my grandmas (a tradition!!! that turns out to be a blast:).
We played for a bit and Im a Pro I never got tagged:) haha
but after that my sister and i and my other sister basically just hung out for awhile. and i totally embarrassed myself.
So heres how it goes.. I was dancing in my grandmas front yard like a goof. then we was all just sitting talking.. so i decided to break out the Christmas carols:) haha but ya i wasnt actually singing and i had a wide range haha... then i was bout to get in the car and i was singing quit loud and i was like i think i should be on broadway... and my grandmas neighbors were outside on their porch and they were all laughing haha. i felt pretty dumb but O well:) we had a blast.
So i honestly have so much to be Thankful for.. so i started my day off Thanking God for everything he had done for me:) try it. it makes you realize just how much you truly have.

Tuesday. Bama vs. Auburn pep rally
Tuesday.
Every year for a few years now the varsity cheerleaders go to the child development center and do an Alabama vs. Auburn pep rally.
Last year was my first time to do it and honestly it made me realize just how blessed i truly am:)
When we first get there they start bringing all the kids in to the gym and then we do a few cheers and some stunts then the fun part comes when they turn on the music and we dance with all the kids. They are of all different ages so of course it is so much fun:)
Honestly i was a little bit nervous about it this year only because last year one of the little girls kinda just grabbed me and wouldnt let go. But I still enjoyed it so much last year:) So this year was just as much fun:) All the kids are dancing around and they are pulling on us trying to get us to dance with them:) But in another sense it is sad when you look around and see some of the kids who are in the wheelchairs who cant get out. They took two of the little girls out and one was teeny tiny and held her the whole time:) One of the little girls was just standing there so I asked her if she wanted to dance and she just smiled:) so i talked to her asked her what her name was, was she an alabama fan, and told her my name. and i danced with her and she was clapping to the songs with me then i saw another little girl and asked her to come over there with us so she danced with us too:) it was so much fun.
Its sweet when the little boys run up to you and hug you:) or when one of them yells out im gonna marry number 2(that was what jersey number i had on haha) everyone laughed. but it was so much fun.
I wish we did it more often:)
Since my mom worked there forever and she was a special education teacher at vinemont for awhile i know alot about it and have been around it for awhile so i enjoy it:)
When it was all done and over with it made me realize how blessed I truly am and I thank God for all the abilities he has given me and want to live to glorify Him:)

So friday after school they came down:) that night we didnt get to spend that much time with them because I had to cheer for two games again and my parents had to take me since it was an away game. But saturday morning we all slept in and then we just sat and all talked for almost two hours. haha I felt like an old person cause i was drinking my usual morning coffee:) hehe. but anyways at about 11 they decided to go shopping so i went with them:) we had a blast. we went to decatur then to huntsville then got lost ( i honestly had no clue where we were... I was like Drew.. i umm... have never seen all those lights before haha. they died laughing and then we realized we were lost) but it was so much fun:) that night my sister went to the movies so we were suppost to all go to eat but my dad came in from hunting late so i just went and spent a little while with my grandma:) Sunday we were suppost to go to Church but my mom wasnt feeling very well and we hadnt got to spend much time with the my cousin and Dez. so we stayed home and they left around 12:) but it was so much fun getting to spend the weekend with them.
So... later on Sunday i went to see new moon:) it was really good. I went with hannah, lisa, sybil, and emily. Its the first time i have been to the movies in ages haha.
Then finally:) i have been waiting all week for itt..... I put up our Christmas tree. I had everyone excited and we were all gonna put it up. but the movie plans changed so we only put the tree up before i went to the movies then when i got home we finished it. Did i say we??? Haha. yah. so we were all going to put it up. but it ended up being lets watch mallory put the tree up. But anyways Christmas is my favorite time of the year:) so i fixed all the different layers and they put them in. but my mom did help me a bit:) And when i got home we put all the lights on it(cause i made them wait on me haha) and we used to put all the different ornaments on it that we made when we were little but we changed that around a bit.. and now we have a dark red and gold colors on it:) it is beautiful. we still have to go find the big ball ornaments (gold) and the rest of it is bows and these really pretty big flowers.
I'm gonna put a picture of it on here later:)
Anyways I had a great weekend by far:)

My legs are in pain haha:)
So its been a bit since ive been on here:)
but seems to be that i am busy all the time.
basketball season has officially started its two nights a week possibly three. and i cheer 2 games a night:) thank God not three like last year.
School work is keeping me busy... for sure. just like tonight i had to read four chapters in cold sassy for a test tommorrow on it, then I had 4o history questions to study for a test tommorrow, and lastly i had a math test to stufy for tommorrow. Along with all that I had to make cupcakes for the basketball team (I cheated and bought them this time haha) but then I had to make time to tutor Garrett on math. So i had a busy night:)
Seems to be that i am always involved in something that takes time. Just like yesterday I went around selling tickets to support National honors society and I had to be at Church at 6:30 for play practice. :)
But even though my life is filled with tons to do:).. .I wouldn't trade it for anything.
SO....... our softball coach came back monday and well lets just say it wasnt so great haha.
He is the football coach this year and we have seventh period softball while he has seventh period football the first part of the first semester. So he was at the field house all year with the football team and he left us to workout on our own.(he actually gave us a list of things to do)
So the first few weeks of this year we worked out with the basketball team then they started practicing for their season so we got a list of things to do from our coach. Well....... the first week we did most of the workouts and then the next week.....we prob did it one day.......then from there on you can imagine how it went:) we sat in the locker room and just talked haha. but some of those days we really were busy with cheerleading stuff. haha
So anyways point being he came back this monday. and just listen to the things we had to do.
1. run from the gym to the football stadium
2.run two sets of bleachers(we run the steps on the bleachers)
3. carry each other piggy backs up the bleachers.
4. karaoke twice up the bleachers
5. hop skipping a step up the bleachers
6. hop on one foot up the bleachers
7. run one more up the bleachers
8. then we had to run up the stadium seats (big diference)
then after we was all bout to die. and we thought we was done. NAH!!! he says go to the hill
so we had to run 4 hills!!
up and down=one.
finally he said that would be it and then we were suppost to run back to the gym.
yeah.. so that was our first day of workouts.
Tuesday- arms in the fieldhouse
wednesday- running
thursday- legs in the fieldhouse
friday-bleachers. or just run
Today was legs. My legs are still hurting and i cant imagine how they are gonna feel when i wake up in the morning (I remember the way they felt after gymnastics workouts:(.
My legs were cramping so bad haha we had to do something where you sit in a chair and the weight is on your feet and you are laying on a chair and you feet are in the air and you have to bring you knees to your chest then put the straight (2 sets of 12). so ya he takes the little weight off after the first person in my group goes then puts 90 on there for me and the girl behind me... (that doesnt sound like a lot but thats almost all my weight haha and its been a long time since iv worked out). and it didnt help that he was standing right behind us watching haha.
But anyways despite all the hard work it all pays off in the end:) and honestly i love to run.
He may be a really hard coach but he has had a great history as a coach. and you can ask the football team everything he does has to do with God. after almost every practice last year he basically preached to us honestly:)
But anyways enough of my pity party:)
Oh Yahh!! I cleaned my room spotless this week. I always clean my room every night before i go to bed cause its just a pet peeve of mine. But i hadnt actually dusted and cleaned stuff out in along time. so Sunday afternoon I cleaned it spotless:) it looks amazing. I put my pink Christmas tree up and listened to Christmas music while I was cleaning:) my room is brown pink and blue:)
so now it is all really pretty i love it. and while i was cleaning my room i made two homemade cheescakes:) yummmy...
So thats about it for my week so far:)
Its been by far great. but slow at the same time. hehe
A few things happened this week
But i personally am not a big fan of drama:)
and I try to stay out of it.
But one of my bestest guy friends anthony asked me to ask somebody something today.
and i asked her and then he said to meet him in the gym behind the basketball thing haha
and well what do you know the person walks out while im telling him what she said.
it was crazy we both laughed but i dont think she heard.
But things have been said about people this week.
and honestly my advice was dont let them get to you.
Cause so many people have done or said stuff to me that hurt me
but.. I didnt give them the attention to let them know it even affected me:)
Who are they to judge You???
if they have enough time to try and ruin your life. then something is wrong there:)
Anyways its late and im gonna get off here.
Night everybody.
but seems to be that i am busy all the time.

What I am thankful for???
What am I thankful for???
First and foremost I am thankful that God has given me the chance to live and the fact the has let me realize the only reason worth living is to Worship and Glorify Him.
I am thankful for my family and never could ask for a better one:) I thank God for them everyday and the fact that my family is still together. it breaks my heart to see broken up families.
I am thankful for my friends. these people get me through so much in life. they are there to make me smile when i do not even feel like it. they make each day bright
I am thankful for the house that i live in and the food I eat:)
I am thankful that God has given me the ability to play softball and be a cheerleader:)
I am thankful that God has given me A wonderful Church family!!! (moving Churches was extremely hard for my whole family and i couldnt stand seeing my parents worry so much like that:(..) But I wanna thank God for the fact that the Church we attend has made us feel so much at home and like we belong there.
I am thankful for peace that i have:)
the last few months have been extremely hard for me... honestly.. i had never been so upset. and I thank God that I have peace that everything will work out for the best and I pray everyday for His will in the whole situation:)
I am thankful for Hope:)
Hope keeps me going each day. Gives me a reason to keep going.
I am thankful for Faith:)
Faith is a huge part of my life. Sometimes we just have to stop worrying about everythign and have faith in the Creator of our life. "Cast all your cares on Him, for he cares about you." 1 peter 5:7.
I am thankful for Gods love most of all.
no matter where we go in life his love can reach us:) and we are never to far away from HIm. and i am thankful for everyday of life that I get to life. I am thankful that he forgives me of my sins and forgets about them and puts them as far as the east is from the west. I am thankful that he willingly gave Himself for us on the cross.
All the time it seems like people are never happy and want more and more in life of the wordly things and they seem to fall into the ways of the destructive world. But I thank God everyday that even though i go to a school full of it and live in a world full of it for the fact that I try my best to stand strong and Be BOLD for what I believe and to not let the ways of the world take over me. I thank God that I have no desire to drink or do drugs or cuss. I mean honestly I do not see the sense in it??? it has never occured to me why people wanna go and hurt thereselves and people around them??? I belive God has a beautiful plan for my life and I see no reason in ruining that now:) I have no problem with staying home on friday nights with my family rather than being out partying it up:) I thank God for that with everything I have.
I am thankful for all the romodels that God has put in my life to be Godly examples.
here are just a few... (my grandma, both my grandparents on my moms side, misty, my mom, jamie, lee, amber, rebecca, dean, and so many more)
I am thankful for everything i have in life and the little things that sometimes i forget to mention.
But nyways just thought I would post that. before i went to bed. Im new to all this and still trying to find friends and not sure how to add them???

Im gonna be home this Thanksgiving which is very unusual. Because usually I am always in Ohio:( Im gonna miss seeing all of my family and ecspecially miss going shopping on black friday. (Miranda) its so much fun most the girls except im the youngest cause i love to shop, but anyways all the girls get up at about 3 in the morning and we go to tons of different stores. last year it was snowing which was BEAUTIFUL:) it was amazing. we stayed in toys r us for 2 hours in line waiting for wiis. & get this... my mom and i waited the whole time in line while they shopped and we get outta line for like 5 minutes and my aunt stands there for us and she gets on tv???? haha But I will for sure miss everyone and the amazing food:) my great grandma is the sweetest great grandmother ever she makes like 15 pies and then there is tons and tons of food. the whole family comes on Thanksgiving and she has a little bitty house so its cramped but after we eat all the boys and dads go out and shoot for along time. Since my family comes in from Alabama and Missouri we all stay in her house for the week and the rest stay with there family who lives there. last year we got to sleep in the house since some of my aunts and uncles didnt get to make it up there. but the year before we slept in the Horse Trailor outside. sounds crazy right??? but it was by far so much fun. it was one of those horse trailors with the living quaters in it (2 beds kitchen). but the craziest thing was my cousin had a horse stuffed animal from builda bear with the built in sound and it made the horse noise and noone knew bout it and she forgot about it. so she slept in there with my sister and i and she rolled over in the middle of the night and that noise went and my dad freaked out cause he thought they left the horses in there:) haha. But the next morning we got up and walked out the door to the house and when we opened the trailor door there was snow everywhere:) it was so much fun and we didnt really have good shoes on so of course we all got wet:) but it was worth it all:)
So i really will miss Thanksgiving in Ohio:(
But i will love getting to spend it with my grandma down here:) she is the craziest and best grandma anyone could ask for. I know for sure she is a blessing from God:) she makes me laugh all the time and i love being at her house. Im over there atleast twice a week. I know she gets bored sometimes and I like cheering her up. Everytime I go she asks me to walk with her around her neighborhood and she always says i cheer her up and never fails to ask when im comign back:) After my grandpa passed away a few years ago. Holidays have been pretty hard. but they get better each year:) cause we know he is smiling down from above and will all see him again one day. So I'm still looking forward to Thanksgiving and the shopping after:)

Football comes to an end:(
I absolutly love Friday night football:)
I love being a varsity cheerleadr. I remember being a little girl in elementary and looking up to the varsity cheerleaders at the pep rally and wanting to be one of them one day. Well my dream came true. and i love every minute of it.
Lots of work goes into being a cheerleader.. its not just put on you uniform and go scream and hollar for every game.
First off it cost a bit of money to buy everythign from camp clothes... to two different uniforms.
Then every cheerleader has their own cheerleader and this year we each had two. and every friday morning we bring stuff to go with the theme for that week for our football players. such as candy, and gatorade.
Then we have to spend time practicing.
and on top of that we have to make signs for the game which takes a bit of time.
Then Thank God im a junior this year. but if you are a soph. you have to carry the run through sign every game.
Also we have pep rallies frequently.. which are so much fun.
My favorite pep rally is the black-out pep rally:)
it is so much fun.
we start off by selling the black out tshirts.
then on friday we sell glow sticks and we sold around 4 thousand i think this year.
then it takes some time..but we have blackouts all around they gym floor and a tunnel with a fog machine for the team to run through. we cover up all the huge windows thank God for our cheerleader sponsors husband:)
then around 2:00 on Friday the whole school gets in the gym.. and they turn off all the lights and their are hundreds of little kids on one side and highschoolers and middles schoolers on the other. and thousands of glow necklaces everywhree. the band starts playing and the team comes in through the fog. the cheerleadres glow with paint of whatever on them. and the whole pep rally is spent like that. its so much fun to hear all the little kids go crazy when the lights go out:) it makes everyone super excited about that nights game.
The senior pep rally and the pep rally before the playoff game was tied together. Our theme was roll over the devils. So we brought tons and tons of rolls of toilet paper and during the pep rally we rolled the gym. of course everyone had fun throwing it everywhere ecspecially the little kids. But the after effect was insane. there was toilet paper everywhere and guess who had to clean it all up???? the cheerleaders:) we had so many bags of toilet paper it wasnt funny.. and get this our school is having to do fundraisers for toilet paper in the elementary????haha
Anyways...
Its kinda sad that this years football season has officially ended. It seems so unreal that this was my last year cheering before being a senior:( feels like just the other day I tried out for my first year as a middle school cheerleader. I have cheered for 12 years this year:) and i loved every minute of it. I am a top and not scared a bit. Camp was lots of fun this year with the wallace state cheerleaders. My group dominated. For the first time ever I fulled down from an arabesque:) we did switch libs and tons of other stuff it was so much fun. But i have to say i was scared once when the two guy cheerleaders on our squad and one of our really strong girls, and one of the wallace state cheerleaders who used to be a football player threw me in a basket toss. No joke.. I went so high that it hurt a bit when they caught me. but it was still fun & I would do it again:)
But back to football. we had a good season this year:) and we made it to the first round of the playoffs. the paper had predicted that we would win and even some of the elkmont people thought we would win. Our guys were so pumped Thursday because the coach said if they won they would all get to keep their white jerseys. But unfortunatly things didnt turn out so great at first they scored.. then we scored. so i thought alright maybe well hang in there. but unfortunately they ending up scoring one after another. It was a sad way to end the season for the seniors.
But i really had a blast cheering this year. and its gonna be sad when march comes around and its my last cheer tryout:( but for now its basketball season... which starts tom.

Halloween:)
So yes we are a little old but we still love to have fun:)
So at the beginning of this school my friends and I decided we were going to be the Jackson 5 for Halloween this year:)
We looked all over the internet at pictures and each of us got our names.
So I was micheal.
The monday that we were out of school we all went that morning to walmart and got our wigs and the makeup. Then next we went to thrift stores around town to find the most random clothes. Well finally we just went to the salvation army and ended up staying for an hour or so.
We almost all found our outfits it was fun trying on the stuff over our clothes even though we hoped they were washed. But i bought the red and blue plaid bail bottoms, and a red and blue vest. Then it was back to walmart because some of us needed shirts to under our vest. So we bought the shirts and hannah took them home and tiedyed them. Thank God for Leah who let me borrow her white danceline boots.
The day of halloween we all went to hannahs to get ready. well it took awhile since we had to make ourselves dark. They laughed and said sadie and i wouldnt have much of a problem. haha.
But everyone did each others and then we had the bright idea to put the makeup on our hands??? well it didnt turn out so well. because everythign we touched ending up turning black and brown. So it was around six when we left.
First we went to hannahs aunts and she took lots of pictures of us. and i gotta a little freaked out by her ghost haha(you would have had to be there). After that we went to some trick or trunks and people stared like crazy. and some guy asked to take our picture. Then we got to the VNW to cash a check... and well we had a suprise there that we were not expecting haha. Next we went to some neighborhoods. then finally we ended at Faith Baptist Church where my family was and they were having a trunk or treat. My mom laughed so hard and one of our family friends didnt even know which one was me. We made our way around the circle of cars and ended up having to do our dance atleast 5 times in the parking lot in front of everyone. (btw i didnt even know we had one til i got to hannahs aunts, so i was off most the time haha) That was our last stop cause one of them left us so we couldnt be the jackson four???
So we still had tons of pictures left to take, so it was off to ingle park at night to finish the pictures. At first we were scared and ran to the swings. we took all kinds of insane pictures. But the craziest thing was when we was all taking a picture and we were jumping so it was my turn and i jump and my wig falls off. We all busted out laughing again. and then we were runnign back to the car and i lost my bandanaa. so me and hannah went back in the dark and found it in the middle of the park:) Next it was to walmart to get the pictures developed which we found out we were a little to late for so we decided to come back and pick them up the next day after we went to a Church that Chase and Josh invited me too.
Me, Hannah, Lisa, Sybil, Sadie.
Me.. it wasnt the greatest one but the others were printed.
So we had lots of fun.. and got lots of candy:)
