random blogging urges leads to nonsense blogging.

its not very often that i get a random urge to blog.

but for some reason i did today :) i thought it'd be nice since i like.. NEVER blog. i tried to think of something really interesting to blog about.. nothing. then i realized that i had blogged about needing a job... well guess what?! =D no. i dont have a job. BUT i do have an interview tomorrow morning at 10!!!! =D its at a place called Benefit Professionals & it's a receptionist job which is EXACTLY what i've been wanting to be for forever! im not sure what the place is all about. i know that's crazy, but all i know is that i am really hoping that if it's the Lord's will i can get it =) he knows i need it! lol thank God tomorrow is FRIDAY! i love weekends! on a normal weekend, i'd get to see Cory... but i dont think that's gonna happen this one :( it's been a while since we've gone this long without seeing each other. i hate every minute of it to be honest... but i know it'll pay off one day ;) our one year is a week from Saturday! i honestly can't believe its already been almost a year!! unfortunately, our one year is the same day as the annual rafting trip :( we were gonna go... but Cory informed me that he didn't want to =( which is okay! cause it is our anniversary. and of course i get ragged by EVERYONE saying "its not like y'all are married!" & "i can't believe you're not going because of some boy!!" lol so i know you'll miss me if you're going... sorry! lol anyways, i know people are gonna call me crazy, but i can not wait for winter!! i just love it! i hate being cold... but i love winter clothes! i have every intention to lose my weight by this Christmas so i can wear adorable clothes and be smaller. (i dont want to hear your comments on whether or not im fat. lol) so i know i mentioned this in my other blog, but we are just a few days away from figuring out that that little stinker chilling out in my sister's belly is!!! =D AHHH! i absolutely can't wait! well, if you guys could remember me tomorrow at around 10 am, that would be greatly appreciated! :) a quick prayer is all i need :) have a great weekend!

from the no good blogger, Rae

so yeah.. just wanna apologize for like NEVER blogging unless its a survey lol i actually started a really good one about revival & was gonna finish it forever ago.... yeah that never happened lol of course. anyways, things have actually been pretty good! Ash got married one Friday night & it was presh :) she looked gorgeous! and then Lizzy got married the next! it was so fun! :) well, sometime at the beginning of the week i got a text from Hilary saying that she wanted me to take a trip with her to see Jordan (her pretty much boyfriend now!! sorry Hilary, i had to tell lol everyone knows anyways!) and of course i was dying to go! Daddy decided to procrastinate once again and not let me know my answer till Friday night at the reception and we were leaving the next morning lol soooo she came over about 9:30 saturday morning and we headed off! :) our first road trip!! lol well, just as we are about to cross the state line Hilary has the sudden realization that she had forgotten her church clothes! so we wound up not even going to church like we'd planned. Jordan didnt want us to anyways lol we got there around 12:30 or so :) safely! Jordan looked great! his foot... not so much. lol he has yet to get his hard cast on bc they're waiting on the swelling to go down. anyways, wanna know what we did? watched movies :) lol yeah that's it. Jordan complained about how badly he wanted to go upstairs... so Sunday Josh & Logan helped him up the stairs! Jordan apparently lives up there, so he was dying to be "home" lol again, we watched more movies. Nothing, and i mean nothing, will wear you out more than just sitting around and watching 10 movies in a weekend! lol but i must admitt i had a blast :) Hilary will kill me for putting this, but its not like most everyone doesnt know anyways, she and Jordan are just too cute :) Sunday we got up (Hilary, late lol) & left Josh & Ashley's around 9:30. Hilary was gonna take me shopping for being such an amazing friend cause i went there and "did nothing" lol but in all honesty, i didnt care. the only bad thing was that i missed Cory really bad! and he wasnt able to come hang with us :( we're thinking a double "date" next time we road trip it up there :) lol anyways, we got up & went to Jordan's to get some movies... plus i didnt wanna deny Hil the chance to see her man lol so we accidentally stayed there for about an hour. (we had to leave at 12. Hilary had to get home) then we waited on Jazz and Ash & headed off the their fave restaurant, The Golden Eagle. lol the first time i tried it, it wasnt all that good.... so i was kinda like ehhhhhh... BUT this time it actually was pretty good! we ate and unfortunately didnt have enough time to go shopping :( which was fine lol we started home! i fell asleep :) which hardly ever happens for me on trips. some perverted trucker honked at us due to his inappropriate sign he had taped to his window... Hil and I sped on and laughed. lol when we got in Stevenson, we decided to stop at Mcd's. well, i ordered an ice cream and a sweet tea... and i almost changed my order, but decided not to worry about it. well, normally if i ever get an ice cream cone at mcd's they make them GINORMOUS! yeah. not this time. it was little lol we got home around 2 something and i came home to no one :( mom was getting the little sister at school! it was her first day of 10th grade :( that girl is growing up SO fast. not to mention, she's only 15 & already taller than me! & i know that's not saying much, but still! she's not supposed to be lol she's looking more and more like my older sister Rebecca EVERY DAY! speaking of Rebecca, most of you know that she and Jed are expecting a BABY! :) i grow more and more excited as it goes! she finds out what our little stinker is a week from today!!!! =D ahh!! everyone is saying girl. which is what im hoping madly for cause i know that's what she wants... even though Jed wants a boy. and even people are having dreams about her having a girl.. alas, i am the only one to dream of her having a boy. and now watch ME jinx it & her have a boy! lol id be happy as long as its healthy. but we do call "it" a girl a whooole lot. either way :) I will be an Aunt this coming January :) :) well, i am procrastinating as we speak (it runs in the family) and i have some cleaning to do! hope everyone has a great day!

okay, so yeah its probably not the best idea that i am awake right now... considering the bad mood ive been in today and that i have to get up in less than 5 hours. =/ anyways, i was looking for something to do while i let the laptop charge... oh the things i do to be able to sleep. yeah, i absolutely HAVE to have a tv or some kind of movie playing... its habbit and i hate it =/ i wish i could get out of it, but i cant. there's always a constant ringing in my ear when i try to sleep without it =( anyways, so im on my friend's desktop while the laptop charges for a bit :) anyways, Lord... idk what to even blog about!! haha! i have been up to absolutely nothing but cleaning bc my mother goes CRAZY in the month of July and absolutely has to have every thing done 3 weeks before revival even begins. jk, but she does go crazy on us! she always redecorates the house & decides she wants to paint! smart right? WRONG!! my room is pink =/ like... bright bubble gum pink... not really suiting for me anymore... in all honesty, it never has been haha! anyways, so shes wanting to paint my room a "neutral"color.... revival is 2 weeks away.... yeah. we havent even chosen a color. not to mention, while we're trying to clean house... my older sister and brother-in-law have moved in with us due to air-conditioning problems. -_- not that i mind having my sister back! its just harder than i thought.... haha! mother got on to me saying that i dont need to make them feel like a burden on us... but honestly, who wants to share a bathroom with 2 other girls when its hard enough to share with one? not to mention ive slept with my younger sister EVERY night since they've been there! and she hogs my bed =/ no fun... besides fussing with my older sister like i always have, its not TOO big of a deal to have them there.. but i do wish we had an extra bed =/ lol well, Cory Lynn is in Orlando! loser went to Universal!! can you say LUCKY?! yeah, i would love to get away! luckily, after not seeing each otehr for a week and a half, he came to see me last wednesday night and went to church with me :) then he left thursday night & they stopped in GA, and made it to Orlando safely Friday morning :) i miss him!! we took a "ladies trip" to the smokies back in april & he just went on and on about how he wanted me to come home and junk. of course, i was having fun... & yes i wanted to come home cause i missed him too! but i still had a good time! lol anyways, i totally know what he was feeling now... i actually wish i were with him cause that would mean id get to see him all day every day and that id get to go to Universal! =D lol needless to say, im ready for him to come see me next wednesday! we're pretty emotionally attatched to one another :) which i guess could be a bad thing in some ways. but seriously, he's the best friend i could EVER ask for! like... i can go to him with absolutely anything :) back when the power was out for like... almost a week, my nerves went HAYWIRE. i cried every single night for like 5 days. it started on the monday before the tornado and Cory and I had went through something & so we cried together on the phone.... then tuesday the tornado hit & we acted like we were both dying & told each other we loved each other every 5 min.. lol then after that my nerves went crazy on me. i felt bad bc here i was my family alive, my boyfriend alive, friends alive... & all these people had lost loved ones in this... yet i could not get ahold of my nerves! it was awful... & in all honesty, Cory was the only person i felt like i could go to without feeling stupid. i cried to him every night for about 5 nights!! and he would try his very best to calm my nerves down or help me :) it really showed me what a best friend he really was to me. ive never been able to go to someone like that, other than my mother & even sometimes we all know how mothers are... they still dont understand lol, but i just feel so thankful to be able to have someone i can litterally call my best friend! and im not trying to go all mushy-blog on ya... im just saying :) he's the best friend i think God has ever given me :) & not to mention i love him very much :) (or so big, for Jenny's sake =P) so its kind of a 2-for-1 deal :) anyways! i think im actually starting to get sleepy =D yay! im pretty sure the mtn dew baja blast i had a taco bell didnt help... lol well, its off to try to sleep for less than 4 & 1/2 hours! goodnight & much love ♥

somewhere over the rainbow...

well hello there!! its been a good bit, has it not? i believe the last time i blogged was right before Plevna's revival! which was about 3 weeks ago... i guess im not the best blogger =P lol anyways, Plevna was great! =] i did NOT wanna leave at all. i absolutely love it there!! i stayed with Cory's sister & parents and i felt so at home! i absolutely love them! i cried when i left... of course. i seriously think that the older i get, the more emotional i become! ive always been a total drama queen.. but geez. do i have to cry all the time? lol anyways, after that was Park City/ Scotsburro... i only made it to Park City... sorry Kenna. lol it wasnt so bad there! i went sunday night and... thursday night! Sunday night someone recieved it! the girl was speaking in tongues SIDEWAYS!!!! no joke. i saw it! it was crazy lol thursday night was good too. i went with my friend Callie and then we went to best buy for her mom and KRISPY KREAME! =D all i had to do was mention it and Lorie was like "OKAY!" coolest. mom. ever. i love that woman! she's called me before to talk to me about some stuff and no joke we talked for FOREVER. it was great! anyways, Oak Grove was this past week. i went all day Sunday! Sunday morning was the singing & i must say that even though Cory is my boyfriend he did a GREAT job on the guitar :) i absolutelty love that he plays and the fact that he's so good at it! :) anyways, before i start drooling, lol Sunday night was really good! i went Wednesday night too.. it was good. we went out to eat & dummy me misunderstood my mother & thought she was okay with me going to eat in scotsburro which is the complete opposite direction of my house! lol it was okay though :) & i havent done anything interesting these past 2 days. until tonight... i went to a cookout at Lizzy's :) it was fun! well, i guess i've bored you all enough for now! ;)

hey you. (: im so bored and should be cleaning my room... but we all know how that goes :) so i decided to blog. if nobody knows, my older sister, Rebecca Sims, makes the most adorable flowers! Her business is Blossoms by Becca :) they're adorable! and she just made the cutest Damask print flower that i am more than stoked to wear :) just thought id share that and if anyone ever needs a cutesy flower, i can get you some pics and show ya :) anyways, i honestly have no reason to blog.. other than the fact that im bored and procrastinating on cleaning up my room. im so lazy (: haha! i cant believe Cory will be off of work in less than an hour... he's been working a lot lately! im so proud of him :) myself, not so much! :/ im such a loser! haha i seriously need to get my fat end up and get a job. im just scared! if you know me, you know im like... the most outgoing person you've pretty much ever met! and you know that i can talk a LOT and to just about ANYONE! but when it comes to confrontation, i freak. i am the most easily intimated person... applying for a job completely tears my nerves to pieces! :( maybe ill get over it. lol one day. anyways, im so ready for this weekend & this coming week! Plevna's revival starts!! and Uncle Matt AND Uncle Ollie (yes, Bro. Ollie Taylor is my uncle!) are running it! :) im really hoping for a good one! :) if everything goes as planned, ill be there for pretty much the whole week! you know what i need to do? go on a diet. i can hear you all out there that are reading this say: "OH MY LORD!! NO YOU DONT!" ha! for those of you who thought that or anything to do with me NOT going on a diet... thanks :) for those of you that might've thought the opposite... stop reading now -_- haha! jk jk. i completely agree. my mom is on weight watchers and for some odd reason im getting motivations to diet! so i think i might start. i may blog about it :) i actually lost around 8 pounds back in march! i felt awesome! then i went to the Smokies... let myself splurge and....... well we all know how that goes! i quit the diet thinking "hmm.. im sure if i just keep cutting back, ill be okay!" NOT! :( ugh. anyways, maybe one day ill lose all my weight :) my aunt got Zumba & i simply love it! its hardcore! lol but i looooove it! my mom wants to get it which totally makes me psyched! i love to dance! i remember the good old days when me, Kendra and Kayla would come up with the CHEESIEST (or should i say... Cheetah-ist, Kenna. ha! she'll get it) dances and think we were the coolest girls ever! just cause we knew how to make up dances. nothing made my life better than those moments :) i truly do miss it! i remember the VERY first dance we EVER made up! haha i have a video of it! and pictures :) we were so chubby and cute! haha and to look back on that hair!! hahahaha!! oh man. those were seriously the days. and who could forget all the times Chelsea and I had those "emotional talks"? haha! we were talking about that the other night & just laughed :) im glad i can look back on that stuff and see how i grew from it.
one thing i especially remember is the day that Hilary, Ashley, Becca, Me, Chelsea, Kayla and Kendra ALL decided we were having too many problems and we were gonna talk them out. so we did :) all 7 of us sat in a cirlce in Becca's room & told each other what our problems were with one another. before hand, we all promised that no matter what was said we would try our very hardest not to get mad & that we'd just try & fix the problems :) & we did. i believe that helped us! we cried and laughed & seriously told each other what we disliked about each other. the thing i remember them telling me the most is that i was hateful... haha! shocker there. im proud of the things like that. and im proud thatr my friends and i were able to overcome such silly, petty little things and talk it out :) but Lord knows that if we did that now..... oh goodness. there's no telling what would be said! anyways, i remember a time when all Hilary & I wanted to do was talk on the phone. that's all we cared about! and when we were penpals! that and we were all like inserperable! ahhhh :) good times! idk why im "reminiscing" on the old days....? guess like i felt like boring you guys some more :) i guess i've went on and on enough for right now...
expect another survey and maybe another blog! im thinking... old pictures :) maybe!
