[[ Ha ha...Good Times ]]

Ok wow. It's been a little bit since I last updated so I definately owe you all an update about what has been going on with me the past few days.

Well, I did go and take my Nursing licensure exam again. It was so flippin' hard!! I studied my tail off it was so hard. I told Josh the other day...it was so hard that when I got out to my car I just broke down crying. Everyone told me not to let it bother and me and that I passed. Well, I tried to being positive like everyone said...only to get my hopes up. I called the next morning to find out that I am not licensed, which means I did not pass. I was soooo upset. I couldn't believe it. I was going to have to go through this stress again. I'm trying not to let it bother me too much. I will not be going back to Thomas Nelson next semester so all I have to focus on is studying for my 3rd and FINAL time that I am taking this exam. I am just totally ready to start working and making money instead of having to ask my parents all the time...even though I do make some money working for my church.

Anyways, my week was sooo interesting, crazy, and great all at the same time. Dad got in a really bad car accident on Friday night. It was so bad that the whole front end of his car is totalled. It is NOT fixable. They would have to give him a whole new body on the front end...might as well give him a new car...so he's planning on getting a new car. It is by the grace of God that he lived...he said his life flashed before his eyes and it happened so fast. God is was definately watching out for him that day and is with me for much longer.

So, he doesn't have his own car and needed help so I drove him around places and let him use my car the whole weekend. Saturday night we went to church and it was good. I helped with the little kids in the back and it was actually a good night. We didn't have too many bad behaviors and it was somewhat quiet which is very unusual. Not alot of people were @ church. After church, Jeremy invited my Dad, Josh (my crush), and Pastor Freddy all out to dinner...so I ended up going to Olive Garden with Mary (jeremys wife), and Amber...and Mary's kids. It was acutally a pretty good time. Jeremy wanted to check out my dad's new place so I just had to meet them at his place. So I drive up in the driveway and guess who drives in behind me? Josh! Yeah! I didn't know he was coming too so I was a very happy camper. So they hung out our our house until 11:45 which was fun.

Sunday was the most crazy of all but I won't go into too many details. But I pretty spent most of the day with my friend and that night was our Christmas Banquet for church. It was sooo much fun! I have to tell ya. I played a trick on Josh that was priceless to me. I signed him up for the talent show (without him knowing it) to sing "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain. When he was announced it....he went up on stage and was actually going to sing...but since our MC, Brian knew it was a joke I guess he didn't let him sing which stunk. The rest of the night went well. Josh, Jessica, and I joked around on each other the whole rest of the night. Josh kept teasing me...he offered to "kiss" me but then jerked away. I was upset...and he told me it was fun to tease me (it wasn't a real kiss ya'll...it was a wrapped chocolate kiss he had sitting on his mouth). Oh well, I would of gladly took it from him...it would of been close to a real kiss.

Anyways, it was such a fun night and Josh and I definately got a little bit closer. I acutally really do thing that he likes me but again...does not want to rush into feelings and I totally understand that. As of now, I am willing to wait until he is ready. Because I have 2 people this past weekend tell me that Him and I would make a cute couple. =) So we'll see what happens. I have asked God to give me the patience to see what will happen with us.

By the way, I gave Josh a Jeff Foxworthys, "You might be a redneck If..." 2007 calendar and surprised him by leaving it on his truck to find after the Christmas party. He loved it and he actually have me a HUG for it!! I was surprised cuz he had never hugged me before =) I loved that thought. Anyways, so that's about it for now. I'll let y'all know more as it comes.

God Bless,

Christine
