It takes time

This post is a hard one for me to write. A week ago today we buried my Grandpa. He was a good man that we all loved and respected. As Rachel said I can still hear his laugh. It's hard cause I will call mom and almost say "How is Grandpa?" but we all know he's in a good place and in no pain. The reason I write this is too say thank you for all of your prayers while he was sick, for our family and for supporting Rachel and I during this. People always tell that story about its not when you were born or when will you pass but what does your dash mean. My mom counted the sign in book and give or take a few name in 2 days 500 people came to the funeral home. He raised a great family and he loved us all and showed no favoritism among the grandchildren, we were all his favorites. I can honestly say my Grandpa made the most of his life. He has a noteworthy dash!

Sick days aren't what they used to be!

I remember when I was a little girl, every morning I would wake up and tell momma that I was sick and that I couldn't go to school( We're talking like play school through 4th grade here!) Then when I was really sick my mom didn't believe me!I do remember one time this scenario happened and then I threw up on the car port Rachel and Joey were disgusted and Mom said "Ok! You really are sick!" I was the little girl that yelled sick! But ANY WHO! On those days that I really was sick, I always remember my mom would let me lay on the couch and lay my head in her lap and she would get me Sprite and Chicken Noodle soup and though I was sick, I knew I would be ok cause Mom was there. Now that I am in college I really miss those days. Tuesday I woke up VERY sick!(I'll spare you the details) but I texted mom to tell her and I started crying because I wanted to be 5 again and have her play with my hair while I watched t.v. and drank Sprite. I guess this was all to say that I wish when I was 5, I hadn't been wishing that I could grow up and be on my own! As the famous Judy Garland playing Dorothy said "There's no place like home!"

Just looking!!!

Since I am graduating in May, I am starting to look around for houses and different places. I found this one little house in Hueytown. It kind of reminds me of a cute little cottage. Anyway! I am having fun looking at stuff for my future house and deciding on what colors I want to use. Mom and Rachel are helping me find stuff that I can use once I actually get to move in to a house! I hope y'all have a good rest of the week!!!




Let me know what you think!!!

My Best Friends Wedding!

This isn't really that interesting but I know ALL of my devoted readers (Rachel!!!) wanted a new post! So here it is! One of my friends got engaged over the summer and she asked me to be one of her Bridesmaids! I am really excited. This picture is the dress that I am going to wear. I am a little nervous. I've only been in one wedding (Rachels) so hopefully I'll look ok! Have a great day!!!

This is the dress I will be wearing!

YAY!! It's October!!!

I love October! It is the start of a very fun season! I have always liked October. As most people know Rachel and I really like Halloween and Christmas is great too! And I could never forget Thanksgiving! I guess I just like it because I get to pretend to be something I'm not! I know this is random I have been looking at Halloween costumes recently trying to figure out what I want to dress up as this year! I'm sure whatever it is, it will be good! Here are some pics of my Halloween costumes while I've been in college! ENJOY!!!

I love the weekend!!!

How is that you feel like you have had the most stressful week of your life and then in one split second all of your worries just melt away? This generally happens when I get to go home and see mom and dad or when I get to hang outw ith Rachel. That was this kind of weekend. At church camp (West Kentucky Youth Camp), we had the Teen retreat. I didn't tell my friends I was coming. They all thought that I had to work. Then they drove up and all of a sudden I hear "Merf!!!!"(that's what they call me)they were all running at me and that started a great weekend. This also happened on sunday when I was walking back to the cabin with a couple of the girls and they said "Meredith, isn't that your mom?" I was so shocked! She had come up to suprise me cause I generally have to work Saturdays and I'm not sure if I'll get to go home before Thanksgiving. It was just a weekend of awesome suprises! These are the times that I really feel loved and know that no matter what I will always have friends. It was a very spiritually uplifting weekend and was exactly what I needed after the last couple of stressful weeks I have had! I hope that you all had a great weekend too!!! Here are some pict's of my friends and us mud wrestling this weekend!

R.U.S.H

This weekend was RUSH weekend. It was a lot of fun. I hate it because I had to work this weekend from 12-5 and wasn't able to see everyone like I wanted to. I only got to see Pam like 3 times and the group from home I only got to see them for what felt like a couple hours.For those of you who were here: Sorry I couldn't hang out with you and I hope that you had a great time! One thing that really bothers me is the only thing I knew that I was going to be able to do with the group, they wouldn't let me in. They have a hypnotist come (he's been coming for 14 years) named Jim Wand.(That's his pic!) He is really entertaining but they told me I couldn't come in because I was a Freed student (they have a show for us Sunday night) It was just upsetting because like I said it was really the only thing I was going to be able to do with them. But oh well! We still had a great time and hopefully they can come back soon just to hang out and we can all just chill out and not rush, rush, rush! Have a great week!

I'm back and ready to write!

Hey everybody!!! I am sorry that I haven't been writing! Freed wouldn't let us get on here last year and it took me 20 steps to get to the page so it just wasn't worth my time! Senior year is off like a rocket! I got to got to a consert last friday ( Josh Gracin) and they had an illusionist last night (Jason Bishop) and this sunday they are having Jim Wand he's a hypnotist. This past weekend I was in Alabama for a ladies day and can I just say that the speaker did a FABULOUS job! Well she is my mom but hey! She did amazing and I am really proud of her. It seemed like every time I would call she would be working on the outline! This is going to be a busy weekend! R.U.S.H is this weekend and I have 8 people I think staying with me but we always have a blast! I hope everyone has a great week!
