LONG TIME NO POST

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I have not posted in like... two weeks haha but HERE I AM! There is alot of exciting and maybe not so exciting news I am able to share with you. Well I will start with the not so exciting news before I go into the happy stuff that way I won't ruin your happy mood or something...

Okay so the non-happy news is my great-grandmother passed away this weekend. She was like 81 though and was really old and she was constantly saying she wanted to go on to heaven. She was a great christian woman and I loved her so SO much even though we were never all that close. I will miss her soooo much but I am also happy for her. A few years ago she began having less minor heart problems and a few almost strokes/heart attacks so we were already worried about her for that but later after some time she sadly became stricken with alziemers or however you spell that and was not doing well from that point onward. She moved away from being neighbors shortly after maybe a year or two ago and moved to another town in Mississippi to live in her OTHER daughter's house. We went to visit them as much as possible but sadly that was not very often. Then last year my grandma and her daughter passed away 5 days before Christmas which was very very saddening to our whole family. But my great-grandma was already forgetting alot of her memories and things so we never told her although somebody else may have. More recently she has had to move into a nursing home. She did not like that place that much that I am aware of and it broke my heart every time we would go visit her. Then about a month ago we went to see her and we got her to remember some stuff about her life but all she was able to do was hold our hands and hug us every once in a while. It was very difficult to wake her up. And then we got the news that she went to sleep the other night and never woke up. Bless her heart. Rest in Peace Gran-gran and enjoy seeing Jesus! That is where my mom, grandpa, and little sister are now. (her funeral NOT heaven)

So after the sad news there is just alot of other little things going on around this time. First off its ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I am very excited about that! I only have three more days of real school until Christmas Break Yeahhh! And also this Friday is FESTIVE FRIDAY! Thats going to be lots of fun! I am not quite sure about if I got the Solo for the christmas choir program yet though. I will be posting tomorrow all that i know!(: Ashley was able to get the medication she needed and they took her in to get her started on that and she has come home from that already. She is doing alright and their family just feels it is a blessing they still have her here for the holidays and they are soooo thankful she will not be spending all her time in the hospital for the time being. I am starting on the movie my class is writing called OBLIVION. It is going to be soooo wonderful and I hope everybody gets to see it if its a success! I am still babysitting the Tarkington's babies alot and also this holiday break I will be helping to babysit the Curfman's foster babies too. Please pray for Mrs. Kara who just had surgery. Also continue to pray for Ashley, the adam's family, Lee and Leah Webber, and all the requests God already knows.

Well I am very super tired tonight and I am hoping to go to bed early tonight. The dog is snorting and snoring on the couch right now... I really want him to stop cuz its annoying me. God bless you and your families during this joyful time of year! Never take any of the things you have for granted. Praise God and say your Prayers(:

LUV, SHORTCAKE
