cant a girl catch a break

i know ive gone a little while without posting, there just hasnt been too much going on that was interesting enough to write about. i did however promise my fourth of july story so ill start with that =)

so on the 4th, justin and i worked a certain communities carnival for all the residents there. at this carnival there were two blowup rides. one was a just a regular bounce house and the other was this ship that was tilted, it was supposed to be the titanic sinking or something. the kids would climb up the middle and then slide down either side. so first of all, i had to wear these bold white and red striped pants 8 sizes too big, white suspenders, a hat, and a red t, there is a pic of justin wearing it a few blogs below this one i think. anyway, ridiculous outfit. so justin decides he wants to stand at the bottom and send the kids up so ill sit at the top and send them down. well i climbed on up and we waited for children to arrive. we had been having problems with the generators that the blowups guys were plugged in to, but we thought we had it figured out, until they turned off again. let me just tell you how fast those things deflate, especially with about 140 pounds on it. i kind of felt it get a little too soft of there and said, "Justin, IM FALLING!" and so he ran over to the generator but couldnt get it back on so i just started crawling down the side, it was too mushy to actually slide. anyway, i made it about halfway down and then just rolled off the sides because the barriers on the sides were now deflated and not holding me in. i fell about 6 feet, it didnt really hurt, i just thought it was sooo insanely funny. later, after about an hour of being up there and sending kids down, i started to get nauseous. it was just rocking back and forth with the kids on either side of me, so we switched places. justin got a little sick too, there was a strong scent up there, and with all the moving, its not so much fun. So, to wrap it up, on a fake boat i got sea sick, and on a fake titanic, i sank! ridiculous

well since then its just been the same ole same ole. work, small groups, church, attempting to run, roy rogers, you know. i laid out the past couple of weekends, did a little shopping. i did go see harry potter, that was very good, im gonna read some of the books this week hopefully so by the time justin buys the 7th and finishes it, ill be ready to read it! oh, and i did find out that i have a week off and its the same exact week the church wanted me to go to Big Stuf youth camp with our youth, so now i get to go and i didnt have to take off, or go that week unpaid! God is Awesome. So we will be in Panama City in a couple weeks. the beach again! YES!

ok, well justin and i have this bet that every time he says iPhone, I get a dollar. i am getting so rich. can someone please tell that boy he does not need one. i dont know how to make him understand he is not getting one, at least not right now. i really dont understand why he thinks he needs a phone that is $600. he can get a perfectly good one for like $50. i tried to guilt trip him and make him see that we could feed an entire aids orphanage for whole year with that much money, but that didnt even work. anyway, its just driving me crazy bc i dont get him and all his gadgets, but he doesnt get me and my shoe obsession so ill just have to try and understand and pray that he gets over it. why do you need a phone that does all that, why can you have a phone that just makes calls, you know, what phones were made to do???

well thats all i really have today folks! im gonna take a nap, too much Wii and too late an hour. have a great week everyone =)

Ha ha! I liked your Titanic story! Sounds like you and Justin had alot of fun working and getting sick!! And I totally understand about guys wanting stuff that is way weird and that we don't need! Rhett and I were at BB&B and we were fixing to use a gift card to get a pot (that we would use quite often) when Rhett says, "I know what we need...an electric knife"! I'm thinking we are never going to use an electric knife! Boys just don't get it!

Justin does love his gadgets! Thats ok, everyone has a weakness! :) I loved talking with you today my love. I want to get caught up on the last couple Harry Potter books before I read the 7th one too, and since our book club is going down the tubes, we should make that our new plan! haha! I LOVE YOU and will miss you sooo much the next few weeks I will be MIA, I will email!
