| Just got back from TeenPACT it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it.
I thought that I learned a lot and that I grew a lot. I had been praying for God to give me direction in my life about what he wanted me to do. And I realized that I had been all wrong, I had for so long ignored his voice telling me something that became abundantly clear to me this week. You don't have to be a missionary or a pastor to serve God full time. And that God needs people in every arena. I still don't know what I want to do but I do know that it has something to do with civic involvement, politics, or law. I'll just continue to trust God and seek His will.
Just a little explanation about my last post about my dislike for the Department of Defense, my dad teaches contract pricing for the DoD and hes TDY (temporary duty assignment) out of town a lot. He's been gone almost all this month.
I get my casts off Monday I cannot wait I'm so tired of them. They're practically falling of my feet as it is. One of them is split down the side from walking on it and every time I walk my foot is shoved into the crack so my feet are kind of cut up... Oh well at least my ankles should be fixed now so thats great.
I'm real excited about my missions trip to Peru, I've got my trip totally paid for which is very exciting. God has been taking care of me.
Well I gotta go I'm tired
Amy : )

| When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun?
Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out.
All the love I've met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I'm set Standing on the rooftops
(Wait until the bombs drop)
This is all we got now
(Scream until your heart stops)
Never gonna regret
(Watching every sunset)
We'll listen to your heartbeat
(All the love that we found)

| Amy's Post-Op PostHere is an account of my surgery experience...
We arrive at the hospital about 20 minutes early. I was scheduled to start prep at 11:00 and surgery was to start at 1:00. The lady gives me my bracelet and makes sure that all the information is ok, which it is. They take me and my parents back to my room, I get to meet about 3 nurses, 1 tech, and 1 nurse practitioner in the space of an hour. I answered so many questions about my medical history. I had to list all medicine I had taken in the past seven days... They took my vitals several times. My BP was higher than usual but not bad, oxygen saturation was good. The Phlebotomist came in and drew some blood, didn't really hurt, he gave me some spiderman stickers when he was done. After that they put some topical anesthetic called lodican on my hands where they were gonna put the IV, and they had me drink some tylenol mixed with something they called 'happy juice' basically I got a sweet drug cocktail. The "happy juice" was pretty sweet after I took it I don't remember anything, the only thing I got was when they started to put the IV and when the Anethesiologist told me to use my inhaler. After that I remember waking up in recovery where they pumped me full of morphine and something else. Then they took me back to my room where they gave me vicodine because my ankles still hurt. At that point my mom decided to break the news to me that the surgery had not gone as planned I was supposed to be in walking casts but now I am not because the tedon on my left ankle has actually peeled of the bones and so the surgery was more extensive. So basically I cannot walk at all for at least a week and the doctor said probably in a wheelchair for a month...
the only other thing I've discovered is that vicodin is worthless. I am in so much pain right now it hasn't even really helped. I almost feel like its gotten worse.
Well I gotta go hopefully I'll talk tosome of ya'll later call me if you want I'll be here being bored.
<3 Amy

| Debate TournamentThe debate tournament was this weekend it was fun. I didn't think that my partner and I were doing very well at all the entire tournament. The only round we for sure won was the last round that we won on topicality. We then went into watch the rebuttals of a round which we thought was one of the semi-final rounds.
After another 2 and a half hours of waiting Mrs. Basinger finally announce the teams for the final round. Ben Wynia and Elizabeth Essley (surprise? I didn't think so) The second team was..... Paul Milliman and Amy Williams! Thats right my partner and I were in the final round. It was so incredibly crazy as soon as I heard that we had made it I thought they for sure were joking, then I started hyperventilating, I looked over at my partner and he just had his head down saying no, no, no, no.
Well we didn't win the final round. I don't think anyone was surprised about that but I was excited because it was my first time ever being the final round. I was real happy even though we lost because I'm a sophomore so I have several years to get better!!!!
