Up in the Air

Visit to Richmond.
We took a "surprise" visit to Richmond. His mom expected it. We drove there and then crept up on the back porch. Viv wasn't impressed. Put on a show for Family. I played the bongos. Ate bad food. Saw the Neal's! Very fun. Woke the girls up in the bedroom upstairs. Talked about wedding stuff. Drove back.

That Weekend.
Claire was at the house. She made Bobby cupcakes. I told everyone I wanted a new wedding dress. Claire, Bob and I went to David's that night. I tried on a few, and so did Claire. She looked great in the beachy one. I decided i liked the mermaid style. Crazy. Tried to eat at Olive Garden. Thirty minute wait. Never mind! Ate somewhere else instead. Got appetizers and one horrible waitress. Left two napkin notes complaining. It was funny! Felt bad about it later though. Went to church then to David's with mom and dad. Cried the whole way there. Had a good time shopping though - found the perfect one. =) I love it. Casey will too. <3 Feel much better.

Bob's Bday.
Bought a cake. Football 19! Went to work. Went to mall with Casey. Had fun! He got me a surprise. A pumice stone! Bob told me he asked for a heart shaped one. I love him. Went to Walmart. Got decorations and gifts. Gracie picked out HSM card that sang. Tried to talk her out of it. Gave in. Was excited for dinner! Got to Logan's. Decorated table. Blew up balloons with Grace. Everyone else came. Not Casey - he was working. I missed him. Bob wasn't surprised! But he liked it. =) Gave him his gifts. He liked those too. He thought his cake was funny. Good night!

This Weekend.
Drove to PA. Had a fight in the car. Casey slept. Got there. Felt weird. Left. Came back second time. Casey carried me across the mud. People were nice. We ate dinner. Tacos. Got a tour of the camp. Gorgeous. And muddy. Casey went into the barn and was near horses for the first time. We were both scared. Blackjack bit everyone. Saw Seven Springs. Beautiful. Campers arrived. We felt weird. Hung in barn and learned archery from Jimmy. Still felt weird. Dinner. Service was good. Went to group meetting. I became a counselor. Did a devo with individual campers. Became "The Lost Boys." Didn't sleep much. Woke up. Went to prayer meeting. Did go-carts and horses. Casey was cute. Couldn't stop smiling. Horses were scary. We got Blackjack. Had evening service. Got to talk to staff. Met with Mark and Deb for three hours. Had a two hour conversation about words with The Lost Boys. Oil or Oil? Left. Unsure about whether we want to be there. Good place though. Drive back was fun. Cold. We were tired. Spent 16 dollars at gas station. Oops. Ran into snow near Lynchburg. Slid around. Car wouldn't stop when we tried to pull into Liberty Village. Parked in a ditch. Walked to the house in the snow. Our first kiss in a lot of snow like that.

SNOW DAY 3/3/09
Woke up. Hoped I didn't miss Gracie in the snow. I didn't =) Got dressed and went out there. Hoped Casey would come. Built half of an igloo and sled with Mom and Gracie. It was fun! Casey came out there with Bob. Made a ramp. Gracie's shoe came off. I rescued her. Her shoe came off again. Dang it. I took her inside. Ate lunch. Attempted to make igloo again. Failed. Spend the rest of the day inside with Sugar. Casey broke sleds. It's ok though.

Tuesday.
Casey's car was broken into. No more GPS. Met Ryan for study time at Tilly. Made a good grade on exam. Hopefully. Had good dinner mom made. Missed Casey. Dad asked me the best part of my day. I said the exam. I need a haircut.

Today.
Woke up. Tired. Wanted to sleep in. Got up. Got Buck out of the shower to get my hair tie. Went to starbucks. Was almost late. Casey called and asked if I wanted a chicken biscuit. I said no. Did our counseling homework with Casey. Got our favorite drink with the card I gave Bob. Casey gave me a biscuit. I was glad! Went to counseling. Was almost late. Chuck and Jo talked about section one and two. We opened up a lot. Talked about Casey not doing things and me nagging. Sock basket stays! I love Casey. I told him I wanted us to do what Chuck and Jo do. Chuck mentioned a job in Oklahoma. Good but far away. Been working today. Saw Bob. Glad he has a job now. Praise the Lord. Buck got in to UVA program. Awesome! Called for haircut. Going tonight.

Yep. Been good. Just stressed about what to do with ourselves. Trying to get Casey finished with school. So many possibilities. I'm really enjoying counseling. Even our Sunday School class is getting better. Casey spoke out and it was good. He talked about making changes when you see what you need to do better.

Snow day was awesome. Gracie loved it. =)

Tonight Gracie sings at church. Should be sweet.

Life is all up in the air, but God is faithful.
