Well folks, It's almost time for this kid to go to bed . . . but.. I had to make a post first. So I started out my day by getting up at 9:45..mom was supposed to be here at ten.. and she was right on time.. and not too happy because I was just getting in the shower. Oh well. She picked up my room a little while I got ready. We head off to murfreesburo to find something for my cousins wedding. Found something at the first place we went to... called my cousin.. lavender won't work.. has to be yellow.. DAMNIT. . . so finally, after an entire day of shopping.. we found the perfect outfit.. too bad it cost $85 bucks.. mom wasn't really thrilled about that, but considering it had taken us all day to find it... our options were limited.. So, we come back to cookeville, I go to zebs, we get pizza, watch cold mountain which might I add is a great movie, and here i am. So.. some things have been on my mind today.. and Have actually brought me to tears more that once today.

I think that sometimes I am so ungrateful for the amazing life God has given me. I don't know alot of people who would drive an hour and a half to get to me, then an hour and a half to take me shopping, an hour and a half to bring me back to cookeville, and then an hour and a half to go home. My mom sure did. I had so much fun with her today. She really and truely is my best friend.. we can talk about ANYTHING.. I am so lucky to have such an amazing mom. And another thing, like, growing up you never really realize the sacrifices your parents make just to see you happy. I can only hope that when it's my turn to be some little girls 'mommy' I'm as good a 'mom' as mine is. So she was considering spending the night with me tonight. She said she would only spend the night with me if I would go out with Zeb tonight like I had said. She said if I wasn't going to go out with zeb on her account, she was going home. Well.. I told her that if she stayed I wasn't going out with Zeb tonight.. because I didn't want to leave her here by herself. She said she didn't want to interfere with my plans so she'd just go home. I wanted so badly to tell her to stay here and hang out with me and that Zeb could wait until tomorrow and that she could never 'interfere'. Instead I just let her leave and cried for 45 minutes after that.. about like I'm crying now. I think that's the hardest part of this new life I'm leading.. my mom isn't here. Yea, call me a momma's girl, or a titty baby, or whatever you want to call me.. Part of the reason I'm even in school is so I can make something of myself and repay my mom and dad for all of the things they have given me. I don't think they realize just how much I love them. I tell them every day, but sometimes I just don't think it's enough. And, ya know, my biggest fear isn't failure or anything like that, it's something happening to my parents. I really think I would lose my mind.. Ok, well.. My eyes are hurting so bad I'm done with this post.

Got a shit ton of homework to do tomorrow and two softball practices, meeting, going to the TKE house to discuss greek god, and back to do more homework so probably no post tomorrow. I LOVE YOU *MUAH* 

"You were so hot when we got married back in 1952.."

So after we watched Ladder 49, which is now on my list of favorite movies, I headed over to Zebs. . . where. . . we watched tv..layed around.. but mostly... we....... . . . . . . goofed off. . and I LOVED it. He really is so much fun to be around. I'm not gonna ramble on about it though, because I'm sure you guys don't really feel like hearing it so... Mom's gonna be here in 6 hours. . . We're going shopping in Nashville.. as I've told you once already. I'm excited about that. I LOVE hanging out with my mom! She's the coolest.. sorry cayla, but she's my BESTEST BEST friend... you're my first best friend.. lol. anyways.. I better go to sleep because I sure don't wanna be cranky when mom gets here.. goodnight... I LOVE YOU *MUAH*
