Weekend

I have had one of the best weeks/weekends.  I can honestly say that I have some of the best friends a girl could ever ask for.  My week didn't start off that great though.  I had early duty all this week so I had to be at school by 8 am.  Well, when I was ready to leave Wednesday morning I went out to my car and it wouldn't start.  This is when my mind started going crazy.  I ALWAYS call my Daddy when something goes wrong with my car.  Well knowing that he was starting chemo the next day got me to panicking.  I'm thinking right now, yes he can fix my car, but what am I going to do when he is sick?  Who is going to take care of me? Who am I going to call?  Because no one is going to drop everything they're doing to come pick me up or work on my car like him. Well... He fixed my car like he always does and went on with his day.
 The next day was chemo.  I had prepared myself for the worst.  I had prepared myself for him to be extremely sick and not himself.  I woke that morning telling myself I wasn't going to think about anything I was going to work and going wait for the text or phone call from my mom telling how awful he felt.  When I got to school walked into my classroom I found this....

The girls I work with gave my these beautiful tulips and a card they had all signed telling me they were all here for me and everyone is praying.  Have I mentioned I work with some of the best girls ever? If not I will say it again, I work with the BEST girls ever!  I love being around them, they are such an awesome support system and so much fun to be around.  We always have so much fun together.  We were in Fall Break mode Thursday.  That afternoon, 3:45 couldn't come soon enough.  So in the spirit of celebrating & getting geared up for 2 days off we made this.... Ya'll don't kill me for posting this! :)

Friday, I went to Memphis with Daddy to get his bone marrow shot.  He was feeling great.  Drove me all the way to Memphis.  We ate lunch at Chili's.  He ate really good.  Then we went and test drove cars.  (I'm in desperate need or maybe WANT of a new car) I had such a great day with him.  He did make me drive him around Memphis.  He said he needed to see how well I drove because when, and if, he gets too sick he wants to know who he can call and who he can stand to ride with.  He also told me that he felt good enough he could jump out of the truck if I did bad and that I'd be taken off the "To Call List" haha.  

I also discovered who I take my parking from.  I've had so many take pictures of my car parked in parking lots and send me pictures telling me I can't park.  I have come to conclusion that how you park is hereditary 

Our Motto: If we're between the lines then that is all that matters.  

Friday night I went out to dinner with 2 of my very best friends, Jessica & Ashley.  I have been friends with these girls since I was elementary school.  We use to call ourselves "JAJ" I could tell so many stories of us three together but I'm not sure they would appreciate it.  Haha.  We ate dinner and came back to my house to have game night.  I have not laughed so hard in a long time.  We played a game called "Quelf"  we had so much fun.  I'm so very lucky and blessed to have these girls in my life.

I would post the video of the game we played but I'm going to save that for my next post! I had so much fun with you girls! Thank you for everything and always being there with me through thick and thin! XOXO

Last night, I went over to a friend of mines house, Me and his daughter, Blaise, carved and painted pumpkins.  We had so much fun.  This would be Mine & Brian's 3rd time to carve and paint pumpkins.  We decorated pumpkins with my nephew Jackson last weekend too.  So to say that we have become professional pumpkin carvers (I carved way more than him) would be a huge understatement.  Brian's main job was to cut open the pumpkin and clean it out.  I get most of the credit for the awesome carving skills.  (I can so say this because it's my blog and he can't defend himself hahaha -Just Sayin) 

Pumpkin carved last weekend.  I don't have any pictures of our others ones lit up. That's on the to do list!

What letter comes after Q?  Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Jackson had a little Captain in him. 

Mine & Blaise's matching pumpkins.  Pretty cute huh?

Peace sign I free handed.  Not too shabby!

They both painted their hands while painting their pumpkins! 

Please keep praying for my Daddy he has had a great weekend and hasn't eased up yet.  Still running around just like he was before.  Hope and pray that he keeps it up.
