Holy Tornado!

So, if y'all didn't know, there were like twenty tornados in Alabama today. That was some scary stuff dude. Seriously.  There are over fifty people dead so far. At one point, one of the tornados that was on the ground was a MILE WIDE. What?!? 
Dude, thats like straight out of the movies scary. That crap does not happen here in Sweet Home Alabama. I mean we always get our fair share of thunderstorms and tornados very spring, but these were F5 tornados. Thats like the worst kind. 
One of the hardest hit places was Tuscaloosa, AL and a lot of that town was demolished. The school is said to be ok, but the mall got wiped out it looks like.
My cousins that live in Morris, AL found some medicine prescriptions from a pharmacy in Tuscaloosa in their yard...how far away is Tuscaloosa from Morris you may ask?
Approximately 70 miles.
Yeah, you read right. 70 freakin miles.  
That is ridiculous.
At one point, there was so much debris that it was 8,000 feet in the air! CRAZY!
So yeah, we need to pray for all those people whose homes were destroyed and for all of those people who lost loved ones.
This was one of the worst weather days Alabama has ever seen.








For those of you wondering, the tornado just barely missed Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Another street in Tuscaloosa was completely demolished though. The tornado in Tuscaloosa was the worst but there were several more tornados through out the day.  
One of my Dads' co-workers that lives in Pleasant Grove said that there were bodies everywhere there, but were not sure if that is true just yet.  
Tomorrow we should know more results of the damage.
My part of town was just missed tonight.  This morning was terrible though.  At like 5:30, it came through here and seriously, it was so bad.  Our house was seriously like screaming, yeah that doesn't make sense, but you weren't here. It was screaming.  The top of our chimney blew into our front yard.  The winds did lots of damage.
Well, thats all I got. 
President Obama declared us in a state of emergency.
Pray for Alabama.
See ya soon!

So....

I am definitely in a blog funk. I am so very sorry... I have been home for like... 10 days now...(I definitely just had to count on my fingers, lame)
Anyways, I just have not felt like writing on this wonderful blog thing that I have going, but then my wonderful friend Cailey scolded me for not writing, ok actually she didn't scold me, she just made me aware that I haven't written on here in forever.  So here I am, writing on my blog.
What have I been doing you may ask?
Well I started working again, so that is taking up some time, and when I am not working I am doing nothing but sleeping.  
But guess what? I haven't slept in three nights, I just lie awake a night....but thats because I have been put on this new medicine that keeps me awake.  

Anyways, enough of all that boring stuff....

GLEE anyone?

Did yall watch?  Because I did, and it was wonderful to have GLEE back on, why does it keep going on a hiatus...seriously, that needs to stop, like stat.  OK and what was up with that Sunshine chick coming back on the show? Also, is it bad that I am kind of happy that Will and Holly broke up and Emma and John Stamos broke up? I mean really, we all want Will and Emma to be together. 



So this weeks episode was great, but really I cant wait for next weeks episode! First of all its, gonna be 90 minutes long, and....wait for it.... KURT is coming back to McKinley!
WOOHOO!!!!!



That is so exciting! 

However, I miss watching GLEE with all my friends out in Idaho.  Also I miss watching psych, and How I met your mother.

Um, have yall ever seen that show?
Its basically hilarious and I watch i every time it is on TV, which, if you were wondering, is at 11:30, 12:00, and 12:30...haha its a different episode every time too! SO yeah...

Well I better get going, I need some sleep, like now, and I am going to make a resolution to blog! I.need.to.blog.more.
I am sorry!
I promise there will be more blogs to come!

Love and miss all of you!

Finals week...

...is kicking my butt. Ugh. All I wanna do is sleep.
But i cant.
Too much stuff to do.
I will admit though, I have taken a nap or two here and there.
My semesters are always so different when it comes to finals.  Sometimes I have eight HUGE tests, and then there are times like this when I have 3 tests and 4 projects and 2 papers to do...seriously?
Have I started on my papers? No.
Projects? Sort of...
Spanish test. Yes.
Voice Jury. Yes. (this is the one I'm terrified of)

And to top it off...finals week is ALWAYS the week of/during/after General Conference Weekend.
How am I supposed to do all of that stuff AND watch General Conference?
Come on...
We go to a church school, you would think they would take that into consideration
Am i right or am i right?

Oh well, bring it on.  Even though its stressful, it usually turns out well in the end.

So today is my lovely sister LILY's birthday.  
She is a wonderful person and someone I definitely look up to...well sometimes...just kidding.
She is turning 19, gees, I feel old.
She is beautiful, makes everyone feel included, funny, awkward, nice, smart, caring and she can cook.
She likes to sing, stay on the internet for hours, and loves HARRY POTTER. (We have that in common...) She cooks, loves Dr. Pepper, loves basically ALL foods.  She has hundreds of friends, who she stays in touch with, and loves the gospel with all her heart. She loves Chick-fil-a, Red Robin, and Jim n' Nicks, to name a few... She loves animals, painting/drawing/ doing art.... and messing up spaces...and last but not least, shoes and clothes.  Oh and the thrift store. She will kill for a bargain.

Things she doesn't like...

School
Usually the people I date
getting up early
chores
People (more specifically my parents) telling her what to do

Those are just a few.

Basically she is awesome and a guy would be lucky to have her in his life.  
I know I'm lucky to have her as my sister.
We may not talk all that much, but when I get back from school, or just from being gone, its like I never left.  She may be a slob, but I still love her.
Happy Birthday Lil. I love you!











Happy Birthday Sis!
