Hugs and prayers for both of you. You both really are some awesome guys and I'm glad to know you (even on your bad days).
Thank you, Cinder! You're an awesome sister too. Evening church in an hour and then more prayer for my friends. This time with some wise church mummas.

Thank you too, Cmarieh. God bless you. :)

In spite of bumps in the road of life, I have some really exciting things going on. So, my dad and basically my future step mom have been talking about living situations and trying to find a solution to where they can get married in the near future, and no one has to get rid of any pets, and we can live in a more central location to colleges, work places, and church. What they're proposing is sounding VERY appealing. Like it makes me REALLY excited and happy to think about it. So I told them I'll keep it in prayer and I also told them to keep that in prayer, because it sounds like it'd work really well.

No phone yet, except a go phone :)
But I do have insurance on that one too, so I get to get a new one again (the exact phone I lost), haha.

I also am out to get new running shoes too,
Because this mamma just got a super cheap gym membership at planet fitness.
20.00/ month
..........
Free pizza.....I think one Monday a month.


And they have massage chairs
and I am going to learn how to tan.

:3
Yah.
I guess it's this season of my life.
;)

Hmmm. A fitness center giving free pizza. I think they might have some ulterior motives on that one. Not that that would stop me from taking advantage of said free pizza.

After all, a woman has to eat... Whether the Lunk Alarm goes off or not.

God you are the Great Healer! Thank you! I haven't received much sleep the past week. It's been about 5 weeks of life's crap all packed into half a week. Thank you for your provision. Thank you for friends offline and on and for their prayers and encouraging words. Thank you for the massive healing you did in my friendships last night. You're the God of restoration. Thank you for unity and your truth. Thank you for your joy, Holy Spirit. I really needed that after the week that's been. Thank you Jesus!

Talked more with Dad about this. I asked him what kind of time frame we'd be talking. If we can get things rolling, it'd be relatively soon. I think what we're gonna try to do is get everybody sat down and see what my oldest sister and her husband's plans are first before we make a move. There's some decisions that are dependent upon them and what they plan to do in the future before we make a move, because they will NOT be moving with us when we move. They will be living on their own. But if we can get things figured out...it might happen very soon. My guess would be this summer or fall (hopefully summer so I can get things moved in and organized before I go to college).

Last night I woke up around 2:15 AM. Not really sure why I woke up, and thinking back, I could tell something was slightly off. I heard my dog start to whine a bit in her crate in the other room, which she never whines at night. I decide to look at my phone to see the time, and there's a notification on it that said "Tornado warning in your area: Take shelter immediately." So I threw off my covers, turned off my fan (I sleep with it on every night) and sure enough, I could hear the sirens. I know the sirens do their job, but I hate how they sound. So eery and foreboding. I looked at the weather radar on my phone and it showed two red cones of tornado warning headed my way. I muttered some less than God-glorifying words as I threw on some tennis shoes, grabbed my pets, a blanket, and my pillow, and closed us into the bathroom. I sat on the floor shaking as I called my dad. I had him look at the radar and just talk with me. He assured me that they were further north than I was, but I asked him to stay on the phone until it was over, so he gladly did (I love my dad).

I'm fine, I don't think there were any touchdown tornadoes after all, but it was still scary. I LOVE storms but not when my life is possibly in danger, and not at night, especially living by myself with no basement. Even after it was over, it took me a bit to calm down enough to fall back asleep.

This is the second time I've slept through tornado sirens. The first time my sister woke me up, this time my dog did.

Since tornado warnings seem to be everywhere lately (I just had my own tornado warning on Tuesday. That's why I lost power that day), I thought I'd give everyone some tips for when a tornado comes your way! ;)
