Today I met the ToothFairy! That's right! The Real One!! She came to Chick-fil-A for our Kids night. She was beautiful, witha a huge pink dress and a tiara and fairy dust that she sprinkled on everyone, and she gave out rings and toothbrushes! She even drove a pink car!! (Her magic doesn't work in the day time so she can only fly at night, so she has a pink car). We had so much fun! I think I had more fun than the kids! It was so very fun to watch the expressions on the kids faces and listen to them talk to her. They say the funniest things! I read something on the internet today that was kinda funny. It said that in life there are three fazes.......#1 you believe in the tooth fairy #2 you don't believe in the tooth fairy #3 you are the tooth fairy.
Well, I think it would be the best job to be a tooth fairy for a living! Ryan even got fairy dust sprinkled on him. We had fun! Then we went to our friends, the Bundy's, new house and hung out for a while. We miss seeing them. They used to be our neighbors, but they're still good friends!

Again....sorry for the shortage of journals. This weekend was really good though. Friday night we went downtown to feed the homeless. Someone brought Chick-fil-a there and I passed it out, well really I stood there while everyone rushed to me and grabbed all the food I had. It was gone really quickly! This week Ryan got to help one of the guys get into his locker, which was a blessing. Imagine if all the you owned was in your house, but you lost the keys to your house and could never get in to use anything you had, that's how this guy was. All he owned was in his locker, but he lost the key and couldn't use anything he had for 9 months!
Saturday I worked, and then we hung out with Matt and Suki. We couldn't decided whether to go swimming (which Suki and me wanted to do) or play poker, or have a theological discusion (which the guys wanted to do) or go to get ice cream. We ended up going to a very fun ice cream shop called Pokios! We talked forever into the night and got home late. They're great friends!
Sunday was wonderful too. I have really enjoyed being able to sit in church the last few Sundays and listen to the sermons. And also go to Sunday School. The Lord has had lots to tell me! Sunday we also went to lunch with our Sunday School Class and then I did some Chick-fil-a work at church then we came home and I napped for a while. We were going to go to a baseball game, but it rained.
Today was busy at work, but then I got to scrapbook with my friend Jennifer tonight, which was really fun.

Yesterday was the greatest day! Ryan took me on a date last night! We went to Olive Garden, and he took me to the store to buy a movie I have been wanting. He's so great! Over all it was just a great day! Today was a good day too. I went into work early, so I got to leave early, and came home and got to spend some extra time with Ryan, and we cleaned the apartment, which reminds me...I have laundry in the washing machine.....
Oh, and yes, we're still alive. Perhaps you've heard about the explosion, well, it wasn't near us. We're praying for the people involved though. It has been nice to talk to loved ones today who called and asked if we are okay.

Well, today has been a busy day! It seemed like I was constantly going. It was a good day though. I am really liking marketing.
Yesterday church went well. I think I mentioned that someone had stolen the light computer at church this week. Well, it wasn't bad with all of the lights on this Sunday. The Lord still worked and we still sang praises! He is not dependant on lights, it's a good thing! And it was nice for me to have a Sunday off too from doing the lights.
We got to come home early and take naps too! And we went out with a bunch of friends for lunch.

There's not a whole lot going on here. Ryan got back from Wisconsin, and it is the best thing to have him back! I missed him a lot, but he had so much fun being with his family! You can read all about it on the home page. Friday he spent most of the day at work. It's so sad, the light computer from church is missing, and we don't know if someone stole it or where it is, so you can pray that it gets returned one way or another. Who would steal from a church???!!! Friday night we went to feed the homeless too, and that was fun. It's so fun to talk to people there. And thismorning Ryan went to helpout one of the guys from downtown. Then thisafternoon we rested, and Ryan worked on computer things. Oh, and it's not raining anymore...incase you thought that maybe we floated away....

I have been busy these past few days. Yesterday I worked almost 12 hours, and today I worked too. I also got my hair cut today, and ran 3 miles and walked 3 miles, so I am worn out. I am going to bed tonight super early in hopes of getting some rest.

I have been really bad at writing journals lately, sorry. This pasat weekend was pretty good. Church was good Sunday. I really like our Sunday School. Right now we're brainstorming what we want our Sunday School class to be like, and I really think that it will not only grow in number (which really isn't important), but also I belive that God is going to use the class to do great things in the lives of the members and others. It's fun to think about possible ministries and ways to encourage one another and help one another grow.
Sunday I had dinner with our friends and neighbors, and then I cleaned our apartment too. And then today I worked and then had dinner with a friend from church. It was fun to spend time with her. I am so thankful for the friends God has blessed me with!

Well, yesterday was Cow Appreciation Day! It was very fun! People all day came dressed as cows and they got free food. My favorite little cows were our friends Zoe and Grover! They're so very cute! Zoe is almost three, and Grover is almost two! They came complete with cow tatoos on their bellies!
Ryan went to Chatanooga to mee with our mission board yesterday, and he got back today. Pray for us as we make decisions and hopefully move forward on how the Lord leads either towards Eleuthera or Freeport.
Today was super fun! There's a place that gives out free books for teachers here and my friend and I went thismorning. You have to get there a few hours in advance and stand in line to get books, but it was worth it! We left at 7 and the doors opened at 9 and everyone streamed in and grabbed all the booked they could hold in their boxes! I got some fun books! And it was fun to go with my friend!
Then today I worked for a few hours then I got to pick Ryan up at the airport! It's so wonderful to have him home!

My favorite part of today was when a girl that I work with walked up so excited and said "I've got the best news!!!! My friend just gave her life over to Christ!!!!" I love working at a place where I am encouraged and blessed! We got to talk about it for a while, and her excitement about her friend becoming a Christian, and to see other people I work with share in her excitment was awesome! God is so very good! I had a really good day today!

This weekend has been pretty good. Today church went well, I really lovge our Sunday School class. I am so thankful for the believers that the Lord has put in my life. They are all so encouraging and I am excited for the plans that Lord has to use us.
Today we picked our friends up at the airport, it's fun to have them back.
It's still raining every day. I like the rain when there's no tornados.
God has been encourging me lately with the thoughts of how He leads us in life. He leads us a step at a time, giving us just enough light to see the next step. It's hard sometimes to not see ffar out in life, but I'm encouraged to know that God;s leading me step by step in His perfect plan, not mine.

What a great week this has been! July fourth was fun! We had dinner with our neighbors, and we watched the fireworks from our window. There were like 5 different sets of fireworks that we could see at once! It was great! Also that day we did a Chick-fil-a event at our apartment building, which was fun. The kids were painting the kids room, so Ryan went as the cow and we took food.
Today I am scrapbooking our Disney trip! It's very fun! Today is my day off, but I still worked for a few hours from home.
We went to see the movie Ratatoulli this week! It was very fun! You should see the movie. I loved it! And Ryan liked it too.
Last night we had small group. Our Pastor came too, and it was good for our group to get to know him better.
Yesterday I worked a normal shift in the store for CHick-fil-a, and boy was it stressful at lunch! The computers broke so the register wasn't working, and we had cars backed up forever! It was crazy! I'm glad that is over!
Well that's about it for this week. It's been great!
