2010-08-09T11:42:00.000-07:00

ok so its been awhile...CRAZY CRAZY THINGS HAPPENING IN LIFE.

I moved to Greenville 11 months ago and life could not be better. God has worked in such an AMAZING way in my life. I am thankful for his 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances. I am now a member of Mount Calvary Baptist Church. I am learning so much from Pastor Minnick. I love the people. I have become friends with several families and am thankful for them also. I got to help out in a youth activity in June. Which helped me to get to know A LOT of people.

Samantha is so big. A whopping 22lbs...LOL she is very tall. 30inches i think. She isn't walking yet. She tries but it just isn't happening. She is very funny and loves animals. She likes it when you bark at her, she also loves panting like a dog..she sticks her tongue and just goes crazy. She got a new bike for her birthday and she loves it. I will post a picture. She will be 14 months old by the time i leave her :(

OK SO THE BIGGEST WOW NEWS OF ALL!!!!!!
AS OF 8-9-10...I AM OFFICIALLY attending Bob Jones University. God is AMAZING. I am getting a 2nd chance at school. I am very excited about this direction in life God is taking me. Its scary BUT God is in control and knows what is ahead. I am taking 7 classes this semester. i NEVER even took that many at Hyles Anderson...SOOO i am a little scared about that. WHAT TIME I AM AFRAID I WILL TRUST IN THE....AND let me tell ya easier said than done :-)
I think i have classes picked out:

Freshman Seminar - 1 credit
Bi 230 Hermeneutics - 2 credits
FA 125 Introduction to the Arts - 1 credit
Com 101 Fundamentals of Speech - 3 credits
ECC 141 Maturing Child Elective - 2 credits
CPS 105 Computer Science - 3 credits
ENGLISH - 3 credits

I didn't even take this many classes the first time around. :-) God will give me grace :-) I have to take my english placement test tomorrow. Classes start on Wednesday. First chapel service is on Tuesday :-) I think that's all. I can't believe its here....its time....GOD IS GOOD!!!

NO DIRECTION

2009-07-24T23:08:00.000-07:00

WOW its been forever!!!!!
Nothin exciting going on here.
I have had a ton of ups and downs. I still have no job...i had one but the guy i was working for tried to hit on me. SO that one went away!! BLAH

I am looking into cooking school but can't get anyone to call me back and when i call they put me on hold then i get an answering machine. BLAH so...IDK maybe its not meant to be.

I need to go to school for something and cooking school seemed to be "IT" but now i wonder what i should do...I have no leading...i DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.....i have prayed, talked to other ppl.............noone can tell me what i should do.............I just need direction!!!!!!!! But can't find it.................

ummm

2009-02-10T19:47:00.000-08:00

Nothin exciting going on in life right now as usual....I have some personal things to work through.............I am really sick and tired of being suckered into things and then not wanting to do them and then when i don't i get fussed at when i tell them i am sorry i changed my mind. I am tired of being looked down on because i don't listen to a certain kind of music.
We ALL have DIFFERENT standards and convictions...why can't you leave me alone on what i feel is right for me.......
BLAH...other than that i think i may get a job soon so we shall see!!!!

THE WEEK OF DOOM

2009-02-01T22:47:00.000-08:00

SOOOOOOO this is the week i have been dreading...in 4 days i will be 25
I have no life
no job
no boyfriend
no prospects
no nothin........
so i am not really looking forward to this birthday..............
I thought getting the job at WKJV would be the turning point in my life i needed....I was making enough money to move out, and i was happy and POOF its gone and i still to this day don't really have a clear answer on why.
I have been trying to get a certain job for about 2 months now and i have no luck..i am qualified and i don't have a job and the 2 ppl he has tried to give it to DON'T want it...I DO I DO I DO....SO i find out tonight some other person is doing it AND THEY HAVE A JOB and they stay busy...I DON'T GET IT.....what do i have to do to get a real job....NOW i am not saying the babysitting i do is not a real job BUT its not enough to live off of......
Someone asked me yesterday are you happy...i wanted to cry because honestly when i look at my life i am sooo unhappy i don't even want to get out of bed......if i were to dwell on it i seriously wouldn't get out of bed......there have been days were i don't get out of bed.
Everyone tells me oh read your bible and pray....WHY...everything God has given me he also takes away...job wise....so i mean WHY pray for a job when God will probably just take away the next one i get....I AM SCARED!!!! I am scared that i will be 30 yrs old and have no job, no life, and still living with my parents in the basement...like some retard who can't make it in life....
I JUST WANT HAPPINESS....THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-01-25T21:42:00.000-08:00

OK so this is me at my heaviest.....

this is me after 41lbs....

2009-01-25T21:29:00.000-08:00

Well next month i turn 25!!! BLAH i am not looking forward to it...it will be the hardest birthday i will probably go through!!!!

On the other hand i have lost 52 lbs...since i started all this dieting in October!! I was very excited about that!!!!

Life stinks right now...I am very frustrated with things. I can't find a job...I AM SOOO SICK OF NOT HAVING A JOB and i do Babysit TWICE a week...but i only make 60 bucks and that is NOT enough to live on...People ALWAYS say when God closes a door he opens a window..WELL all i see is doors closing and windows being locked...SOOOO i don't know....I suppose there is some insane reason i am not being allowed to find a job.....MAYBE God does not wish me to be happy, maybe God does not wish me to live alone, maybe God does not wish me to find a job i love...I DON'T KNOW but i do know that i am sick of everything......I GIVE UP.......................I DON'T CARE anymore...whatever happens happens!!!!

Nothin goin on

2009-01-12T16:01:00.000-08:00

This is my little Emi. P. Boyer and Emma Kate Hefner....they are my girls :-) When i have kids i hope my kids are this cute...LOL

It has been awhile...nothin exciting going on in this life.......

I got a new digital camera for Christmas and because retarded me did not format the disc so now i am just having issues...it loaded half of them...BUT need to load the rest. SOOOOO as soon as i figure all that out...i may have to take it to wal-mart and get the photos put on a disc and so on.....BLAH
For christmas i also got a new Bible and cover OH and my bible is PURPLE!!!!!
a sweater
tshirt
bath and body stuff
2 pictures for my room
a bookmark to match my bible cover
i also got the last movie for the love comes softly series.....
I am pretty sure i got more stuff but can't remember...LOL how sad

My 25th birthday is 2 days away.............AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
DEFINANTLY NOT READY FOR THIS......

I had an interview for a live in nanny job i am pretty excited about...I should know sometime next week if i got it or not......

2008-12-13T12:39:00.001-08:00

Life is not cool right now...I feel like i am in a downward spiral of POO....I can't find a job, I can't go to school...I am sick and tired of being everyones everything. I stay up late listening to my single friends WHINE about there love lives and how they don't know what to do about this problem or that problem. I am sick and tired of listening to my married friends whine about how they don't have time to do this or that or they wish they could just stay home with there kids and there husband or how they don't have money. I AM SICK OF IT ALL!!!!!
I would give anything to be able to take care of a man. Do his dishes, laundry, clean the house he has provided for me. I mean is that such a big friggin deal?? I mean i see these girls who are 18 and 19 getting married and having kids and then all they do is whine about how they want there childhood back....WELL THEN YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED!!! DUH!!!!
I mean i don't get it. I want Gods will, I want what god wants in my life...BUT is this what he wants.....for me to have no job, no education,no life, no nothin???? I don't understand!!!!
I have ALWAYS been the "good girl" and my brothers and sister are technically doing better than me now everything is not perfect but they all have jobs, families, homes.....Why does ME the "good girl" suffer...CUZ I AM THE "GOOD GIRL"?????
I GIVE UP....whatever......

2008-12-03T20:13:00.000-08:00

Going Crazy

2008-12-01T10:28:00.000-08:00

OK sooo apparently i am NEVER going to be able to go to school. I can't get a grant because i am not on unemployment and i have not been laid off. I don't know what to do. It seems the closer i get to the thing i THINK God wants me to do..it gets shoved far far away.
I get sooo upset BUT then i try to think HEY maybe God has something so AWESOME for me that i can't handle it right now and when i am ready he will give it to me and then i will appreciate it more :-)
It is hard to think that. I feel like a giant failure. I want to go to school, i want to work and NOTHIN i am not doing either. I have applied for like 100 jobs in the last month NOTHIN from noone....I don't know what to do. I am just praying the Lord shows me SOMETHING soon!!!!

Wonderful Family

2008-12-01T09:32:00.000-08:00

FRUSTRATED

2008-11-20T09:55:00.000-08:00

OK soooo going to BJ is out because i don't have the money like i thought i would....SOOOOOO
i am frustrated i don't know what to do. I can't find a job. I have applied EVERYWHERE and nothin....not even holiday help. Apparently God is trying to teach me SOMETHING because this keeps happening.....I get a job and keep it for awhile and something happens and then its like 6 months b4 i can get another one......I DON'T GET IT....i am trying to pay attention to what God is trying to teach me. I don't know.

I am trying to figure out what to do for school. I had a long talk with my sis in law and friend Beth and i think maybe i may go talk to a counselor at ab-tech and see if they have something for a high school history teacher and/ or maybe computers. I love history and i love teens sooo i think it should work. I am scared about having a hard time with the school work...BUT i have enough ppl around me that can help me. SO i think i should be ok!!! So i will let you know.

I just want to be happy and if i am honest with myself i am not happy not even a little bit....

Please Pray

2008-11-19T08:02:00.000-08:00

I found out yesterday one of my good friends at the daycare i used to work at has breast cancer. She has 2 small boys that are almost 2 and one is 3. She is having a masectomy December 9th. Her name is Jolene....I am sure she would appreciate your prayers!!!
THANK YOU

My diet plan!!!

2008-11-14T18:02:00.000-08:00

Ok so everyone has been asking me how i am losing weight so i thought i would take some time and tell ya :-)

I am counting calroies and exercizing :-)

I am doing it biggest loser style. I count calories.You take what you weigh times 7 and that is how many calories you should eat a day to lose weight. When i started i actually had a hard time eating 2000 calories. I eat ALOT of 100 calories packs and and it is not that they are low fat they are just portion controlled and i eat the cheetos and cheddar chex mix the most..LOL
For exercise i do the biggest loser videos 3x a week and 3x a week i walk for 45 min....The videos are cardio max and power sculpt. (pictured below)
Which is perfect because it helps tone your muscles so i am not so icky flabby as i lose weight :-)I like doing it and the more ppl are finding out the more support i am getting. Which is GREAT everyone needs support!!!!My biggest thing is i make it a game..ya know like how little calories can i eat this meal?? or how little cheese spread can i get on the cracker...OH and a little secret Laughing Cow cheese(also pictured below) the light is only 35 calories and it is soooo good i put it on bread,bagels and crackers and that is my cheese. I find it in my deli section and it is about 4.50 BUT its got 8 wedges in it and 1 wedge is 35 calories so if you don't want to use it all you can wrap it up and put it away BUT it is really good on WASA bread (pictured below) i found mine in the cracker isle..i have only had the multi grain and i eat it for lunch...i take a wedge of of the laughing cow and spread it between 2 crackers and put 2 slices of lunch meat...i eat chicken breast...i don't really like turkey...and that is my lunch that and a piece of fruit and water...AND it fills me up and its good.

38 down!!! 12 to go!!!

2008-11-03T17:41:00.000-08:00

I am sooo excited about my weight loss again this week!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have lost 2 lbs since thursday!!!
That means i am down 38 lbs and only 12 more to go til my first goal!!! I am lovin it..I feel so good!!!

SCHOOL

Well this is my newest thing..LOL
I would like to go to Bob Jones or Maybe even Ab Tech here in town and see if i can get a 2 yr buisness degree and a minor in baking and pastries. I am thinking of opening a coffee shop!!! My friend and I were brain storming!!! I am soooo excited i can't stand it!!!!
It will be called Flutterby!!! We were thinking of 2 different themes and one is a country modern theme and the other is a paris theme!!!! I will have baking classes in the back for teens and kids. I will play christian piano music and sell music from liek The Wilds, Crown, BJ and HAC. and maybe even folk stuff like Il Divo and Irish Tenors!! Things like that. I will also have coffee and juices of course :-) It would be a very kid friendly place BUT cozy enough for adults.

2008-10-31T08:57:00.000-07:00

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2008-10-06T20:58:00.000-07:00

Facts about Breast Cancer *Every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. *This year more than 211,000 new cases of breast cancer are expected in the United States. *One woman in eight who lives to age 85 will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. *Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. *1,600 men are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 400 are predicted to die. *Seventy percent of all breast cancers are found through breast self-exams. Not all lumps are detectable by touch. *We recommend regular mammograms and monthly breast self-exams. *Eight out of ten breast lumps are not cancerous. If you find a lump, don't panic-call your doctor for an appointment. *Mammography is a low-dose X-ray examination that can detect breast cancer up to two years before it is large enough to be felt. *When breast cancer is found early, the five-year survival rate is 96%. This is good news! Over 2 million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today

I really really wanted to try Taco Bells new crunchwrap..LOL BUT the line for the drive through was like out on the street...so i was like forget this...i went up to the church sat and talked with pastor and amanda for 10 min and then was going to go on my way. Well i went back down and line was still out the street...BUT something told me to go in...GOD maybe???
So i went in AND there they were...Dr and Mrs. Runion and Angie and the boys. Well EVERYTIME i see them it is ALWAYS an hour conversation..LOL we don't see eachother all that often :-) They went to church with me when i first moved to asheville.
So we were chatting, we talked about HAC and why i left and why i didn't go to Iliinois and he had asked me what i was going to do in illinois and i said i was going to go college. He asked me for what and i told him secretarial and he was like hmm ok..Well angie and i started talking and then he was like well sister when would you like to talk to come talk to me about a job at the radio station and i was like ummm whenever...LOL and he was like how bout today and i was like OK. He said how bout 3pm (PPL IT WAS 2:15PM) and i was like well sir i am not appropriatly dressed and he said well thats fine i know you were on you way to clean houses and such so its ok. SO not having enough time i ran to CVS and got a travel toothbrish and toothpaste and brushed my teeth and stuff at the store and went straight to the radio station. I had a jean skirt on and my broncos t-shirt and flip flops and not make up hair a mess..BUT HERE I GO TO A JOB INTERVIEW....lol
So i went to the station at 3pm...GOT HIRED AT 3:20 AND GOT PUT ON THE CLOCK and worked til 5:30 that day. I also worked the next day from 9-2:30pm:-) That happened because I was going to be the only person in the office for the next week. Brad was going to go to youth conference at Crown college and would be gone all week so he had to train me in those very few hours. I went on vacation wednesday night til monday morning. I came back to work my first full day of work and was alone all day and all week. It was interesting at first and HARD BUT i got into the groove and was ok. It was a rough first couple of days BUT bradley will be back next week so i should be ok. LOL he will show me other things i need to do :-) I AM VERY GLAD OF THAT...........I LOVE MY JOB. IT IS MY DREAM JOB. I have prayed for a REAL JOB forever :-)
The Lord is GOOD

Well after lunch we all went back down to the church to have and early evening service. Amanda Hefner and I took all the 4 and 5 yr olds downstairs to play with them because they were all so tired sitting through a service would not have been fun. So we took them downstairs and played with them and read a Bible story. Well after the Bible story Amanda told the kids how she got saved when she was 5 and she was explaining to them how to get saved. Well later that night one of the girls that was in our class Jenna (my youth pastors daughter) got saved last night..
