this is just an update to let you know im alive...i really dont have time to tell u ALL about what's been goin on. I can tell you that this week was VBS @ church && i was a crew leader this year...it was sooo much fun.

i went to my dads on the 4th of july wknd and met my WHOLE family. the BBQ i thought i was going to ended up being their annual family reunion. it was kool though because i've got a krazii uncle who is a certified tattoo artist!! he's really kool...my dad && his wife, marlese, were great hosts and we're hoping to hang out at least once a month.

i will write back when i get another chance...i promise!!

love yas like krazyy!!

Me?? i've been good...i guess...ok time 2 b real!

---i moved out!! yep, that's right...i FINALLY moved out...its been a long time comin && it finally happened

---i dont have my car right now...in the beginning of the month i got it towed away...i went 2 philly and made a wrong turn then i found out my reg. was suspended! what kinda mess is that...so its been a whole month and no car but its still in impound which means imma end up owing tons of $$ to tha philly traffic court

---on Father's Day i called my dad && later that day he called me back && we talked for a lil bit...then on tuesday HE called ME!! is that not tha koolest thing you've EVER heard...ya, i know!! so he asked if i would like to spend a wknd with him...i said ya...most def, no doubt!! so he wanted to know if i wanted to spend july 4th wknd with him bcuz his brother has a party every year in N. Jersey!! i cant believe this mess!! i was sooooo exitd!!! he even said he was gonna come down here && pick me up...thats totally even better!! ;) i was so elated, that kinda went away tho bcuz stuff happnd this wk

---since im not livin @ hm A LOT of mess has been goin on: my mom wont talk to me, Lexii (14) wont talk to me...theres jst some tension, i mean its no big bcuz i kno im doin what i NEED to do but geez!! i jst wish they would understand that i am enjoying my life right now and instead of being a mother figure i can finish being a teenager!! i only have 2 yrs left after all!!

---some upcoming events!!: September: my 18th bday! - October: Guatemala missions trip - January: Experience @ SCMC - June: Graduate HS!! ya its gonna b gud!!!

i wont 4get yall...i promise...its jst hard sometimes to write about my sitiations...some stuff i jst dont wanna talk about right away...its kool tho...yall will eventually find out!!

ok so i know its been a while but ive been busy...ya right!!!

i dont have a life and most people know that...im staying pretty occupied with work and stuff...im psyched because i know what im doing after high school!! SCMC babii!!! South Carolina Master's Commission...its tha best...it REALLY is one big happy family...bros and sis' from all over tha place...

ok so nothin else really exciting to write about...same old stuff different day...its been hard trying to stay focused on what i have to do but im gettin there...im reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren...its a book that takes you through a 40 day spiritual journey towards finding the purpose that God wants for your life...im doing good...staying on top of the reading...its actually kind of funny bcuz i read it at night b4 bed and the emails come during the day so i think imma change my routine

tonite we had our monthly prayer mtg @ church...it was REALLY kool...but of course it always is...i was running the sound booth and the powerpoint...everything ran smooth this time!! ;) last time the powerpoint didnt work and i was upset but it was all good...at these mtgs there is a sense of togetherness at the end and i dont wanna leave...theres just such and overwhelming presence of God that you just wanna "grab a sleeping bag and fall asleep in His presence" ~PB

something im starting to realize more and more is that i need to start waking up...i need to start living, talking, && acting the way im supposed to...i know im a Christian and other ppl know it too but i need to start living like it...if i say im one thing and act the other im a hypocrite and i cant stand that...im pretty sure that nobody else can either...its not gonna be an easy thing to do but it HAS to be done...tonite i got a deeper sense of that understanding__some things just cant go unsettled...and denying the only person that sees the whole me for who i truly am is the wrong thing to do

i know this post is a long one and i wouldnt blame you if u skipped the whole thing but if u did read it i would like to say thank you and im sorry all at the same time...u see i want to thank you for caring and sorry for taking up soo much of ur precious time...which by the way really isnt urs...but im still sorry...oh and i would also like to say that next time i wont wait so long and therefore they will be shorter!! love yall ~~ peace out
