hello everybody

So I have realized that as I get older I seriously cant remember a thing. Last week was Im sure filled with many thoughts and fun times, however, it is soo stinkin hard for me to remember them. I sorta remember some fun stuff though so I suppose I will try to recap for ya.
At the beginning of last week my sister B and her husband drove through. She bought a sweet car in chicago because it was such a good deal and so they flew there and drove the car back. I was so excited to be able to see someone from home. I just love that feeling that something familiar is here with me. We had a really good time with them. We sat around and just talked about fun stuff and went to eat at BW3's and then I made B a big birthday cookie! And we drove around in her car with the top down even though it was freezing! us wilson girls, we are so crazy!
anyway, they left the next morning while i was at work and i was just so sad to come home and them be gone. oh well, i suppose they couldnt just live here, but it would be cooool =). So basically the rest of the week was the same. Work, work, small group on thursday, more work. But then the weekend came, hoorah!

Friday when I got off work I came home and our friends Adam, Rhett, and Emily were all here from out of town. We got ready and headed out to a concert to watch a band play. I ended up not actually attending the concert and had an oh so awesome conversation with my friend tori, but headed back later to play with all of them. Later that night Justins sister came in from Milligan and it was so awesome to have her here. We woke up the next morning and I made some breakfast and then we just went around town. I seriously havent laughed that hard in quite some time. Rhett maketh me laugheth with his odd happenings. Anyway, we came home and took a nap and watched Waynes World 2. That night we went bowling with Darrell and Lydia and then to hang out with Brian and Haley to meet her parents and play for a little while. Sunday we woke up late again, go figure, ran to church, and then out to lunch before Sara left. It was oh so sad to see her go, but we had a really awesome time with her.
ill post pics of that later
anyway, a big shout out to my emily who is 23 today! I love you em!

have a good week everyone!

valentines, painting, olympics, and family

So this past week was pretty good you might say. I didnt have to work Thursday or Friday, I got off at 3 on Wednesday, got to hang out with Justins mom since she was up here, and it was Valentines day on tuesday and well I always love days where you show an extra amount of love and affection. I really had just a fun fun week. Tuesday I went to work and then when I got off ran some errands to finish up Justins vday gift and then came home and waited for him to get out of class. We exchanged gifts and then I went to Jennys to take a shower cuz we didnt have hot water yet. anyway, Justin was really really sweet and gave me an awesome card with something in it to the effect of "you make my time on earth just like heaven," and then gave me that movie Just Like Heaven. Also he made me a DVD with a sweet letter on it scrolling the screen like star wars and it made me shed a few tears. it also had a fun song with pictures of us flashing on the screen. I gave him a bouquet of candy with a cd and some boxers and a home made card. I really do like the cheap from the heart gifts, they mean so much! Plus justin bought a massive TV so big gifts were out of the question.

Wednesday, Justins mom came over from Indy where she was visiting her brother. It was soooo good to see her again. I just love having our friends and family up here, its so fun! Anyway, she took us to eat and loved on us and I had a great time. She also was able to come back on Friday with Justins grandma and uncle and we had yet again some more fun with the fam.

thursday night was small group. we focused on prayer and discussed times when we feel inadequate praying. Someone mentioned how quickly we go into prayer without really realizing who we are talking to. The Lords prayer begins, Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. It begins with us recognizing who God is and His holiness. I really have been trying to take more time to meditate before I just start speaking prayers at certain times of the day out of habit. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you.

Last night was girls night, which I love. I love just laughing and eating bad and hanging out with fun fun girls. It was spa night and Jenny gave me a pedicure because she is so sweet. It was awesome. Then we played some fun games and watched Elizabethtown.

Well the house is almost done. A lot of people have asked for pictures so I will post them shortly. Still decorating some so Im gonna hold off for a bit. The painting is all done so thats a load off. Now we just have to get some organizing done and it should all be done, yay!!! Its quite a journey moving and all, it takes a while to get everything in order, but i feel a little better every day as I progress in my putting away of things. well Im gonna get back to the olympics now. Have a great weekend and an awesome next week!

PICTURE TIME!

this entire post is basically just pictures i wanted to put up with previous posts but couldnt find my camera cord in the move and now i have it! so here are some pictures of alex and other random stuff. that first one is of me giving blood. WAH! enjoy!

move in day

well its move in day here with the Manny fam. Its a little stressful you might say. I just keep staring at everything thinking what should i do. There is just too much stuff and I feel as if it will never come together. All of the boxes and chaos will defeat me. It was supposed to snow today so Im very glad that the Lord allowed it to be a gorgeous sunny day with NO snow! yay! My little Justin is driving to the house now with a car load of stuff however I really worry about that boy carrying all this stuff on his broken ankle. He is either going to hurt something else because he'll fall or something, or he will only hurt his ankle worse and the thing will never heal. I just need him back in perfect health, its been hard doing all this stuff by myself or worrying about him because he wants to try and do everything by himself.

Well, not only has the moving been crazy but its seems as if everything else going on has just been extraordinarily weird. Odd things have happened of which I shall not elaborate via the internet and I have just had and I have had a very odd feeling in my spirit. I dont really know how to explain it, its just strange. It could be the stress and the urgency to get everything done. Im always soo tired. These past few days have been sooo long and I come at night just exhausted. I do sleep well however because i am just so tired. I know Im gonna stress myself out next week too because Justins mom is coming and so is my sister, so Im gonna want to set everything up before they get here. Im nutty like that. I really feel as though I should sit back for a minute and just be still. Im not good at that, I always wanna go go go but I know I should just relax and be quiet and listen.

Also this week I have found myself really missing all of my friends back home. I was just thinking about the normal things that all of you do everyday and think nothing of but when you arent able to run get some lunch or hop on over to their house to borrow a shirt, you will realize how awesome it was and cherish those moments. Like for emily, tori and ash, i hate that i cant be there and do more and support you more or just run errands with you for all your wedding stuff. I love you all soooo much and wish that I could show that instead of just telling you it from five states away. i know all of you understand the depths of my love and that i count you all so precious, even if I dont get to hit up Target with you or help you make any decisions about your wedding or come fix your hair because you just LOVE having someone else straighten it for you.

Anyway, off that now. Valentines day is coming up and well, justin and i have been so wrapped up in all the painting and moving I havnt had time to do or even think of something. I dont know if he has or not Im just needed to begin some sort of thought process as to what I should do. any ideas, let me know.
