My step dad says the craziest things!

Stepdad: "Hey Krystel why don't you walk on my back"

Me: "I dunno, I may be too heavy I weigh like 145."

Stepdad: "No your mom is tooo heavy, it took me 20 minutes to get my breathe back the last time she did it"

Me: (drinking a glass of milk again,he always gets me when I'm drinking)
"BAHAHHAHAHHAH", and milk went everywhere



Another conversation tonight as i'm getting ready to take a shower;


Stepdad: "hey don't be using my razors"

Me: (with a weird look) "R u serious???"

Stepdad: "Yeah"

Me: "I have my own...thank you! (I wonder if my mom has been using his razors?...lol....Like who uses other people's razors? weirdo~)

My folks know nothing about Myspace!..ha

The other day i was talkin to my folks about myspace and the conversation wen like this

me- " i can't believe your pastor has a myspace"

Mom- "what?..i think your being rude"

me- "no i meant i think it's cool, b/c he's older and all"

step dad- "the guy who made myspace is prob old .

me-"no, Tom's not old, he's like around my age"

Mom-"Ohhhhhh sooo you know Tom, your cool!

step dad- "ya right how do u know it was a guy named Tom?"

me-"well if you had a myspace you would know b/c he's on everyones friends list"

Mom- "Oh brother....whatever"

me- "Just get a myspace...........ha yeah right"

Living with the folks....

Living with the folks hasn't been that bad soo far, they keep me laughing!

Mom seems to like to hand out chores when we (me and my step dad)get home from work while she sits on the couch.. Knowing she hasn't' done a thing all day b/c she's off in the summers.

Last night their conversation went like this:

Mom: "I'm fat"

Doug (stepdad): "Your not fat...you passed fat up a long time ago"

I was standing in the kitchen drinking some milk when I busted out laughing soooo hard! It was hysterical! She didn't have anything to say.

NVMC is awesome!

Church was unbelievable yesterday!!!! I sat on the bleachers...wondering where the service was going to go..the presence of God was sooo thick in the house...i wanted to let go soo bad but I know how the service changes so much so I was fighting my gut feeling of letting go and letting God take over. I started to sing the "Rain" song in my head as I was worshiping and talking to God.. Then suddenly pastor Curtis started to sing the "Rain" song.(how ironic).i lost it.. i knew right then that God was wanting to pour out over the whole place.. I immediately let God take over in my life and begin to bless me. I'm soo glad that everyone was in tuned with the spirit and God was able to move in the house!

Going on vacation anytime soon?

It's been a year~

Well this Friday July 25th will be a year that i have been single! I was in a 3 and a half year relationship and when it ended it was like a divorce. It ended pretty bad, and needless to say it wasn't in my favor. It has been a hard year! But i have learned sooo much through this past year! I have truly found myself, but most of all I have found my walk with God to be stronger than before. I have faced many emotions and I have dealt with all the stages of grief. Yeah I have my days but I have learned to forgive my ex and go on. He is now my friend! We can now talk to each other without yelling or trying to make each other jealous. I'm glad it's this way and I'm glad we were able to stay friends. I am now at the stage where I am ready to date again..and to move on with my life, I wasn't ready for that at first which made it hard to date anyone and ruined my chances with several guys. I'm sorry to those guys, but I had to get myself together first. Who knows what the future holds, only God and now I'm putting my trust in God for him to bring me the one who he has for me. I did that with my ex and God brought him to me, and when we left God out of the equation everything fell apart. I don't want that to happen in the future!

My weekend ..if you call it a weekend~

I crammed 40 hours of work into 2.5 days (Friday thru Sunday) as a Production Assistant for American Idol's Louisville Auditions, plus I worked a 42 hour work week.... To say I am tired is an understatement!!! I ended up calling into work yesterday and sleeping most of the day away!

I Had a blast meeting the producers, production managers, security, production assistants, and judges. I'm looking forward to working with them when they return in Sept.

God help those who are Spiritually Blinded!

Last night I went to UPC Kentucky Camp. I was pretty excited about going because I hadn't been there in over three years and I wanted to see my old friends that I grew up with. I was raised UPC my whole life and I went to all four weeks of KY camp every single year. (Family, Junior, Teen, and Senior) I loved it... needless to say I met so many people over those years and I like to go back and see them every year. Over the past few years I have changed some personal beliefs in my own life and have decided that UPC isn't for me and I have found a church that is more on my level and that I'm comfortable going to. I don't like to be judged going to church for wearing make-up and pants and jewelry, etc. My mom still goes to a UPC church and I totally respect her for that, I just needed something for ME and that I felt comfortable with.

So last night on the way to the campground a guy that I grew up with rode down there with me. We had a discussion about the churches in general and how the standards are so different between my church now and the UPC. I told him that I was probably was going to be judged for having dyed hair and for having on makeup on. (I wore my skirt out of respect though) He on the other hand is torn between my church and the UPC church right now and is going to both. He told me that he didn't think they would say anything.
Well we get to church and yeap I had some heads turned, many people stared at my tattoo on my foot. Which I can handle that.. Then as the alter call was being called a pastor that I have known all my life came up to me and the guy who was with me and said "I just want to let you guys know if you ever need a bible study just give me a call, we also have some Bible's if you need one" and handed us a business card with his name on it. I about died.. (did he not recognize me b/c my hair was a different color, i wanted to say brother i have about 10 bibles at home,and i do attend bible study at my home church every Wednesday night...i also wanted to quote a Scripture about judging ....but i didn't all i could do was laugh... b/c he is sooooo spiritually blinded.) All he saw was our outwards appearance and thought Sinners... i need to get them in church... he could have approached it a different way..and if he really did look at us ..he would have saw that he knew me.. It really ticked me off!!

Funniest Pick up line ever!

Last night Brittney was approached by this unattractive guy with this pick up line:

Guy: "Hey gurl, you engaged, married, gotta dude?

Brittney: "Gotta dude"

Guy: "Aww for real?, because you know, I've been eyeing you all night and you've been eyeing me all night."

Brittney: "Aww for real?, because i ain't never seen you!"

(the guy disappeared)..hahahahahha too funny

Brittney looked at me and said "What was that? If i was looking at anyone it definitely wouldn't be him! ha

Karen you will never be forgotten!

This past Saturday marked 2 years that my best friend Karen passed away from Cystic Fibrosis. I was at the lake Saturday, and it was really hard for me to fit in with everyone else..I kind of just sat on the boat in the same spot all day long and laid out in the sun and thought about all the memories that we had shared together. Last year Karen's mom put a memorial in the newspaper and she did again this year. I still have her obituary clipping and her one year memorial clipping in my wallet. It's so hard to just go on, the memories are still planted deep in my heart. Her death played a exceptional place in my heart. I will never forget Karen for as long as I live!
