An Apple A Day...

...Doesn't help keep the dentist away =(

So I haven't written my boyfriend blog because this week Arizona has been out to get me.  FIRST I had a bad run-in with a cactus this week.  (Pics and full explanation coming)  And now...drum roll please...I may have to have a root canal.  Yes folks, the dental hygienists daughter has to have a root canal.  

I have had an ache in the top, back of my mouth for about a year.  My mom and I assumed it was just my wisdom teeth coming in....I don't have wisdom teeth on top.  So this week my mouth was throbbing and it kept giving me headaches.  I felt to the back of my mouth and was pretty sure I felt a hole.  I called mom and after lots of yelling (haha if you know my mom she doesn't really yell)...I went to the dentist.

I called a local dentist in Sierra Vista and they were GREAT...saw me that day AND were SO nice.  They confirmed my fears...there's a big hole.  The dentist there thinks I need a root canal so he referred me to a local endontologist.  After talking to them this morning I have a consultation Monday to make sure I need a root canal.  Mom thinks maybe I don't since he didn't look at my roots.  However, if I do need one they told me they could schedule it for the following week...so we will see. =/  Lets hope for no root canal!

Welcome to my life this past week...ugh.

Happiness.

Porter Sentell makes me happy like no other.  I just had to share this precious moment....

So mom calls me the other day to tell me that Porter had went to the corner of the living room (where my senior portrait is sitting in the floor...it's been there forever haha) and he picked up my senior portrait and carried it around the house shaking it, laughing, and talking to it.  At one point he thought mom was going to take the picture away from him (she was just telling him to stop chewing on the plastic) and he got UPSET.  So cute.  Samm got a pic of it on her phone...it's kind of blurry, but precious still.

So our Tombstone trip might be postponed.  Kelly, Luke's girlfriend is flying in tomorrow...we all thought today for some reason.  And due to the boys work schedules and the fact that it's suppose to RAIN tomorrow!! YAY! ...We are probably going to postpone the trip.  However...no complaints here =) ...i love the rain.

I've also started running again....lets see how long this lasts haha.  

Roadtrip 2009

So like I said at the end of my last blog, Emilie Stephens, Emily Medlin, and I left Montgomery at 8 a.m. May 8th!  I was so proud of their packing skills!  They each only packed one small bag!! (This is a big deal for Em!)  With our printed out mapquest && google maps directions we began our 24 hr drive to Sierra Vista, AZ!  We stopped at all the welcome centers haha =)

Hello Mississippi!

Hello Louisiana!

Us finding out we had 976 miles to go on I-10 =0

Hello Texas!

Hello New Mexico!

Yayyyy for Arizona!

Finding out we had 976 miles on I-10 almost made us want to cry! haha.  Really though, the first day went by super fast. The drive wasn't bad at all.  We only had one fight =) haha.  We stopped that night in Texas (outside of Abilene) and left the next morning around 5:30 a.m.  The Saturday drive seemed to take FOREVER!  New Mexico was the prettiest state!  And we got stopped by border patrol!  It was pretty much hilarious!  We made fun of them all the way to Arizona.  When we were finally at the Arizona line we were only about an hour to an hour and a half from Sierra Vista.  

All in all it was a great trip.  I'm so lucky to have such great friends who drove the 24 hrs with me!  I will post another blog soon of some pics of us IN Sierra Vista.  I will also post  blog introducing the boyfriend. =)

Nothing on my mind but Georgia...

Here are some pics from my week at home =)

True love.

Porter-man walking.

I have so much blogging to do!  So much has happened in the past few weeks and I haven't been on here to blog.  First of all...I passed all my classes =) 3 A's a B and a C! Woo-hoo.  Next...I turned 21 =) so much fun.  But most importantly I have moved to Sierra Vista, AZ for the summer! However, I will blog about AZ later...for now I will stick to my week at home!  I will do the AZ trip in several blogs.  

After I finished my finals on Thursday April 30th...I was DYING with the flu.  It was awful.  So Casey and Lindsey helped me pack up all my things and pack my car so I could go home.  I really do have such amazing friends.  I was home for 6 days...I kept Porter that Monday-Thursday and we had a BLAST.  My little man is walking and talking jibberish...and it is PRECIOUS!  I spoiled him to death!  I couldn't stand seeing him cry so I let him sleep with me holding him instead of in his crib! =0

I just love him so much. That Thursday, May 7th, was my 21st birthday!  I am so blessed!  One of my closest friends from high school that I haven't seen in 3 years came to the house!  Then Ashley drove from Athens to see me on my birthday before I left for AZ =)!  So our house was PACKED!  It was my family, the Reaves family, Casey, Christy, and Ashley all at the house for my birthday dinner.  It was so great!  Shaleen and Patrick came too!  (I almost forgot!)  I had to leave at 7:30 that night and head back to the gump to meet up with Mimi and Em.  We left for AZ at 8 am the next morning!  

My best friend..

I have a best friend of whom I have failed to really mention in this blog.  I love her more than life itself and although things between us are not great right now...she still means the world to me.  I just want everyone else to know why it is she means so much to me.

1.  She is one of the most caring people I have ever met.

2.  She will do ANYTHING for her students.  She makes them cupcakes and cookies on their birthdays and she even keeps bread, peanut butter, and jelly in her desk in case they're hungry.

3.  She is athletic enough for the both of us.  We all i know I have two left feet...but Miranda is pure athleticism.  (I don't think I used that word right but hey, thats me)

4.  We share a love of history =)

5.  We have gone to camp together for at least 10 years.  I know its longer but I don't know when we actually started going together.

6.  We have always dreamed of counseling in G-4 together. 

7.  She is THE funniest person I know.

8.  Going with #7 she always makes me laugh and makes me feel better if I have a bad day.

9.  We don't care to make idiots of ourselves.

10.  She's my partner in crime.  True story.

11.  She is really and truly an amazing Christian woman.

12.  She is one of the best Aunt's to Lilly...ever.

13.  We love to hate the same people.  It makes it that much more fun.  haha.

14.  Late night talks with her in the bunks at camp are the best.

15.  She is RIDICULOUSLY creative.  It's amazing really.

16.  The games she and Philip come up with at camp are SO fun...you can't help but love them.

17.  She always has a shoulder for me to cry on.

18.  She always has a smile on her face.

19.  She's the only person I know that's as crazy as me.

20.  She's the only person I know, aside from me, that enjoys being modest.

21.  Along with #20...we like to be the "modesty police" at camp.  too fun! We always bring enough gym shorts and t-shirts to go around =)

22.  Cornerstone signs.  Enough said. hahahahahahhahahahaha

23.  No one can "shake their bushy tails" quite like us.

24.  We understand each other...and always have.

25.  She and I are pretty much soulmates.  We're just both girls...=/

26.  She can always make me happy when no one else can.

27.  She is amazing.  And I love her.
