Goodbyes and I are like asparagus and ice cream

Things have just been so crazy around here! I've been so busy, and I'm going to be even MORE busy during the next week.

Tomorrow (well today): I'm spending the day with some my fabulous girls (Jessie, Alana, and Gretchen). They are amazing, and I can't wait until our photoshoot around Columbia/Cayce. It'll be a blast!

Saturday: We're having my birthday party with my family. Since I'm going to FL for my birthday/Thanksgiving, my family and I are having my birthday party on Saturday. I love my family so much and I especially love when we get together like this! I love you guys!

Sunday: I'm going to church and we're having our church's Thanksgiving dinner that night. CAN'T WAIT!

Monday: phewww I'm scared and anxious about this day. I have an appointment with my neurologist at 1:30 on Monday and I'm praying SO SO SO hard that I'll get some kind of date to go down to Charleston. It's been a long journey the past year from battling school to going on leave of absences from school, from test after test to ER trips, and from having to battle getting insurance to putting up with all this pain in the mean time. SO I'm hoping and praying that I'll get some kind of answers on Monday where I won't have to wait much longer for this.

Tuesday: I'm going to lunch with my Mawmaw for my birthday. I love my Mawmaw and spending time with her! and then Tuesday night, I'm spending the night with my cousins so we can head out to FL the next day.

Wednesday: MY 20TH BIRTHDAY! My 3 cousins and I are road tripping to FL for our Thanksgiving family reunion. My mom, grandparents, and everyone aren't able to come which bums me out terribly but I'm glad I get to go this year. I love my family so much!

Thursday: idk what I'm doing but my cousin Christopher and his mom, Amy are picking me up so I can stay with them the rest of the time I'm there and OF COURSE we're going to our favorite chinese restaurant like always one day that I'm down there (hopefully Thursday or Friday night) :)

Friday: I have the pleasure tp do my little cousin's Christmas portraits. Victoria is the CUTEST and I love her too death. So me, her, and Maria (my cousin and Victoria's mom) are heading to this pretty spot to shoot her Christmas portraits. CAN'T WAIT!

Saturday: Our Thanksgiving family reunion at my Aunt Bobbi and Uncle Buddy's house! I LOVE our family reunions. This reunion is on my Nanie's side of the family (my mom's mom) and I love it every year when we get together! My Grandpa's side of family has big reunions too (my mom's dad) which our Christmas reunion on that side of the fmaily is December 11th, and I can't wait! I love love LOVE being part of such a big family. My Nanie is 1 our of 9 and my Grandpa is 1 out of 7 or 8 BOYS! phewww I couldn't imagine growing up with that many siblings but I bet it would definitely keep you on your toes and be a lot of fun! :)

Sunday: I'm sadly going home :( I'm probably the WORST at goodbyes. Goodbyes and I are like asparagus and ice cream; they just don't mix too well.

Well that's my week in a nut shell pretty much. My head is spinning just thinking about it all but I CAN'T WAIT! <3

My How Time Flies....

So I haven't updated in almost a week. There's been a lot going on lately that it feels like I can't keep up. Not much went on on the 27th or 28th but Friday I hung out with my friend Jackie all day. We went up to the high school to visit two of my teachers (aka my 2nd mommas). I got the chance to sit down and talk with Mrs. Ray some. I missed her so much! I miss our talks everyday when I was in high school and then the talks and movie nights we would have once I graduated and went off to college. So it was really great to see and talk to her. I didn't get the chance talk with Mrs. Moore because she was in a little meeting with another teacher but we're gonna get together soon and catch up.

Friday night I went to Lexington's Homecoming game with Jackie and I got the pleasure to meeting little 4-year-old Bobby, his dad, and some of his little friends. Bobby is the cutest little thing. He's so precious! Lexington won their homecoming game 69-20. I love Homecoming. I get to see so many people I went to school with and it's just a time to go back to where you came from. I love it!

Saturday afternoon, I babysat Dakota for a little bit while my mom went shopping. Then Saturday night, we went to our church for Fall Festival. I had a photoshoot I had to do at the church the whole time so I was unable to join my mom and brother on their adventures through our church and other churches, but I DID manage to earn $135 that night. I hung out with my friends Jessie and Michael afterwards and Jessie slept over and we watched the Chucky movies with Dakota until 3 in the morning. It was a blast!

Yesterday was a blah day. I was unable to go to church due to lack of sleep and headaches being real bad. So I just relaxed pretty much the whole day while I babysat Dakota and hung out with Jessie before she had to leave at 2. When my mom got home, her and I went to Michael's. I love love LOVE that store! I spent $62 in there but it was all worth it. I got some stuff to scrapbook and little props for fall pictures and what not. I ALSO got some ZEBRA PRINTED DUCKTAPE! I got way too excited over this lol. Then we went to Firehouse Subs (but I went to Tokyo Grill and got a shrimp bowl DELISH!). And of course Dakota got Burger King. So we all had something different lol. Then me and Dakota watched some Halloween movies which I stayed up WAY too late doing and editing pictures.

Today, I was still blah and it was kind of a not so great day to be honest with you.
My mom took me to Best Buy to see if I could get a new charger. I got a new one in the mail Friday but it was destructive. The part where you stick in the computer was a separate piece from the actual cord that plugs into the wall and it kep on popping out when I moved my laptop just a tiny bit. I lost the dern thing twice and just got fed up with it. So of course the geek squad dude wouldn't give us another one. Instead, he stretched it and pushed it really hard together and told us if it pops out again that they could order me another one and use this one until the new one got here. URGHHH!! Why in the WORLD would they make a charger like that, REALLY?!?! The geek squad dude was an idiot. So for right now, I duck taped the dern thing (with my new zebra ducktape of course) so it won't go anywhere and I won't lose it in the dang couch again for the third time! We're gonna call them tomorrow and ask if they'd send us another one but one that does NOT come apart in 3 different places urghhh!

I'm also upset that my insurance company has yet to send me a letter with my insurance card and stating that I can actually use my insurance. We paid them the first payment almost 3 weeks ago and it went it cleared that they got it almost 2 weeks ago. So it's been very frustrating. We're gonna call them tomorrow and ask them what's up with all of this because I DESPERATELY need to go down to Charleston to get this procedure/surgery done. I've been waiting a long time and I'm getting very impatient. I know it's all in God's time and in His hands and not mine. I just pray so hard I can get this letter soon. It's all I'm waiting for and it seems like the insurance company is taking their sweet time. By the time I get it, we'll have to be paying the 2nd payment and that's just not right. I've had such bad luck with health insurance since I turned 18 and it's just ridiculous. Just because I'm an adult, why should I be treated differently? Urghh! I'm just praying real hard about this!

I also have to make a doctor's appointment and see if she can't help me with my asthma. I stopped taking my asthma medicine a year ago once I started having seizures and taking medicine for that because it seemed like my asthmas was going away with occassional little asthma attacks so I haven't needed any of it but I've had the hardest time breathing the last 2 days and I'm getting really uncomfortable. So hopefully I can get an appointment for Wednesday. Phewww!!!!

Ok, enough venting. I'm really tired, and I'm thinking about going to bed but I doubt my brain will let me. So I bid you all goodnight and sweet dreams. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Hoping I don't get too frustrated with these calls I have to make tomorrow. <3>
