Psalm 22:14-16

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jowls; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

If all of the raindrops...

were lemondrops and gumdrops...oh what a rain that would be...
Okay so St.Louis was AWESOME!!! Sometimes I wish there were a better word to explain what I am trying to say...maybe one day I'll buy a thesaurus...Anyway so I guess I will start with day one...So Friday morning I arise at 7a.m. and we start to pack things up at the house and eat breakfast and then we(my parents and myself) go up to church to pick up some food to take with us for the cooks to use...and we finally get going around 10...So we get there around 12:30and unload and I go to my room and set up and wait...anyway skip ahead a few hours and skip through the tour and the rules and then we have about an hour and a half to go eat so we are trying to find Arby's but the one we were told to go to was not there it had changed into a financial building...then there was a little fender bender on a side road so JJ needs to back the trailor out of the drive but the cop won't move his car so he has to try and back up with the cop watching his every move...so we get done with all that goodness...anyway Saturday was training day and since I am a leader this year I got to go into the leadership meeting which really was just a time to eat ice cream and evaluate ourselves...then someone pulled the fire alarm...fun...we had to go outside while our ice cream melted...lol...then Sunday finally arrives...the day we get to go out to our mission site and start canvassing...BUT God had other plans...it poured down rain...so we went to Wal*Mart to get supplies that we needed and we were like we might get 4 kids...Monday roles around and we have 41 kids show up...All day I led a team of 6(myself included) out canvassing...and Tuesday we have 133 children show up!!! WE WERE STOKED!!! In all of Global Encounter years they've never had that many kids show up to one site...so we sort of broke a record and we making people at Ferguson excited about their neighborhood...anyway so Tuesday was our free night so we went to the mall since it was raining and we couldn't go to the waterpark...then we went to Red Robins and they sang to Pete for his birthday...then around 2:30a.m. I start having a gall bladder attack I know this because we went in to the hospital and found out that I have gallstones and gastritis...then Wednesday I was half out of it and I would have stayed in bed but I couldn't sleep so I went ahead and went out to our site even though I had missed half the day...then Thursday was parents' night and we had a GREAT day all day...until that afternoon...we had a wreck so half of our people were out and we still had to do the parents' night because we couldn't just not show up...anyway it went awesome...Friday our last day so everyone as sad cause we had to tell all the kids bye and all our friends that we made goodbye...sad day...but Savannah, Jared, and I stayed that night and we went to the Arch and the Zoo on Saturday so that was fun...then we went straight to Cape for Savannah to go to Kenzie's final fitting of her wedding dress so Jayred and I spent that time at the mall...then waited and waited for Vanna to show up...and she finally did with Kenzie and Justin(he came a little bit later) and then we ran into Kenzie's mom, Lori Jones and sister Leah, and I ended up just going home with the Jones' cause I was extremely exhausted cause I had been going for 3 weeks...yeah so a busy week...but now I am home and I had another attack last night so we went to the hospital again cause they said if it happened again to go in...and the doctor here said that he didn't see any stones just the little crystals that are always there...but he said that I was having spasms...that is why I was having pain and vomiting...fun stuff...lol...anyway I am so sleepy so I am ready for bed tonight...

I'm an aunt again!!!

Cole was born on Monday morning around 6:30 and weighed 7lbs 6oz and 19" long. He is so cute!!! I got to hold him for the first time today!!! I had to put on a little gown before I could go in and see him because he is in the NICU. He was breathing to fast after he was born so they had to put him on a ccpap and he was on it for a couple of hours, then that was it, he also had an I.V. in i believe and some other wires, but he got all of that taken off either early this morning or last night. He gets to sleep in my sisters room tonight and will actually be moved into their as soon as the pediatrician has a look at him and gives him the okay and hopefully they will get to go home tomorrow!!!
Anyway just thought I would update about that...
