The other day I got locked out of my house and Katie had to climb in the window.......it was soooo funnny!!! Here she is in action!

Dinner with my Grandparents

I don't get to see my gradparents(my real dad's parents) very often so I thought it would be nice to take them out to dinner. After all I am the oldest grandchild, but i'm a very busy person and they live here six months out of the year and live in Florida six months out of the year. So my cousin Chris(the 2nd oldest grandchild) and I took them out to dinner tonight before they leave for Florida in a few weeks! They were really shocked when I called them and asked them out.....they made jokes tonight that they thought we were up to something ...like wanted money or something...lol. too funny!

Busy Weekend!

This weekend was super busy for me!

My friend Ryan came in from Tennessee. Ryan is an awesome friend, we met several years ago at a church retreat and have staid in contact. He is the one who actually introduced me to World Ventures www.krystelkemper.worldventures.com His dad has a church in Paris, TN and Ryan's the youth pastor there. Anyways we met up with some of his friends. Let me say that dinner was interesting! Ha..All five of his friends including Ryan work in the funeral home business. They all had some interesting stories to say about their jobs. It was rather entertaining~!
After dinner we went to Baxter Ave morgue and that was pretty weak...I've been to better! Then we went to the boat...i know i know ....I've only been to the boat 3 times in my life and I don't like throwing away my money but that's what he wanted to do while he was here. So i told myself that I was only gonna play with $20..I played around on some of the penny slots, and then Ryan came over and was like i just won $30 I was like where..that's when he showed me Wheel of Fortune...

.I ended up spending the rest of my $20 in that machine...I was down to $2.50 when I hit the big winner..I won $500...I was toooo pumped! I never win anything! So now Ryan thinks he's my lucky charm....we'll see! ha


Sat....I went to the UofL game...they seem to win every time I go to their games.....Katie looked at me and said "How long till your a full U of L fan" ....I said "I was just thinking that" Oh Lord please save me....I'm a UofK fan...lol

Sat night....I went on Danger run with 4 girls from work....need less to say........I will NEVER do that again! I drove...and they drove me nuts! We went through two haunted houses....well I did...they pretty much acted like total foolss...lol fell on the floor...screaming.....pulling my clothes....peeing on their self...I had to drag all 4 of them out..we almost got kicked out of one of the haunted houses....b/c they were soooo scared and crying it was sooooo funny!!!!!

It has been a crazy fun filled weekend and I'm exhausted!:)

Taylor Swift

When I went to Taylor Swift/Rascal Flatt's concert, I heard Taylor Swifts new song that is coming out 11/11/08. It's awesome! I really like her songs, she has a lot of spiritual words in her lyrics/songs.

This is the lyrics to her new song Change!~Love it~

Change

And it's a sad picture
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets
What you wanted again
You know it's all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history
And you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight
When the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now
Found things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared

You can walk away
Say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this
'Cause these things will change

Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

Tonight we'll stand and get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for
All these years
The battle was long
It was the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up, champions tonight
It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?
The walls that they put up
To hold us back
Fell down
It's a revolution
Throw your hands up
'Cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah
We sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

My niece and I are leaving for New York City in the morning!!! I'm so excited!

Today is: International Day of Older Persons

Today I want to recognize my papaw James Offutt. He's 73 and a very hard worker. Can't nobody stop him! My papaw has been working his whole life for Kaufman concrete and until a few months he was still running the jack hammer. He's also the most sincere person you will ever meet. He's always telling everyone about the Lord. He will just walk up to anyone in the grocery store, neighbors, at the gas station, etc. and witness to them and tell them about the Lord. He surely isn't shy when it comes to being a witness. I wish I had the boldness like him. He also is a giver..he gives all of his money to every television evangelist that is on TV. Along with anyone who sends him mail. He has every thank you gift that Benny Hin has ever sent out! It's crazy!
My papaw is amazing! Every Christmas he dresses up as Santa clause for the kids and hands out presents. He's sings to us this song that he's been singing to us since we were little called "Little Rosa" also another song called "How much is that doggie" It's so rewarding to see them get all excited! This man is truly a awesome man and I don't know what I will do if something ever happens to him! Love you papaw!
