[[ 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

[[ Tomorrow Is the Day ]]
Hey Everyone!
Tomorrow is the DAY!! I'm going o take my Nursing Licensure Exam for the 2nd time tomorrow.I am very, very nervous! As anyone would be. I only have 2 classes today so I'm trying to spend my morning relaxing and doing whatever other stuff that I need to do before I start doing more studying for the rest of the day. I'm not gonna be studying as intensely as other days because it's the day before and I don't want to burn myself out.
I take it at 9:00 am tomorrow. So keep me in your prayers. I should be able to call in and get my results on Friday morning so...I'll keep y'all updated!
Thanks for your support and prayers!

[[ One Final Week ]]
Yes, I am very happy to announce that this week is my FINAL week of this semester!!!! I am so darn happy...you have no idea. No more classes...studying...early morning hours...essays...quizzes...tests...none of that until January! I thought this week would never ever come but it is FINALLY here! Thank God!
Next week is exam week but I only have to go in 2 days out of the whole week! Monday for my Algebra & English Composition exam stuff. Then on Wednesday for my Biology 101 exam...and that's it! Cuz my Bio 101 lab exam is this Friday! Yeah!! I am so exstatic! The only thing is...this Thursday is my Nursing Licensure exam which I am VERY nervous about. But, I am believing that I will do better this time and I'll be trusting God more than ever. I have alot of people praying for me and I will have alot of people to call when I get my results...hopefully on Friday. But yes, I will definately let y'all know on here what happens.
Well, I guess that's about all I have to say right now. Really nothing going on right now. We may be selling the puppies and a few of the dogs...which will be kind of a good thing but I won't go into details why right now.
Talk to y'all soon!
Much Love,
Christine

[[ My Feelings & Emotions ]]
Yeah, so I don't know if it is the time of the year or what but...I am going crazy with all kind of emotion here lately and I do not know if that is the way it is supposed to be or not.
Here it is...right near the end of the semester. Next week is our last week of classes for the semester and I only have to come in on the days that I have an exam the following week! Sounds easy like I don't have much left right? WRONG! On top of finishing up my semester I'm trying to spend every spare moment I have to study for Nursing Licensure exam which I am taking for my 2nd time on December 7th (next Thursday). Ugh! I feel so stressed out about all this and I'm only 19! I've been told I am not "supposed to be" stressed. Well, try to do everything I'm doing...then tell me if you'd be stressed or not! I'm really scared/nervous about taking this exam again. I'm trying to keep myself confident and positive and do the best I can. I was talking on the phone with my friend Josh yesterday and he says, "I don't envy you at all. That's a hard test." Well, I know that's for darn certain. Nobody envies what I am doing at this point! Hopefully, after I take my exam...everything will calm down and I will be stress free until the semester begins in January.
I also told myself about my whole recent crush situation that I wouldn't take it hard. Well, I didnt take it hard necessarily. But I was still pretty upset when finding out he didn't like me back...ya know? He said to me, "I know. It sucks when you like someone and they don't like you back." No joke Sherlock! I mean....geeze...what does he think he did to my spirit?? I was out at the store last night, and I thought about the whole situation and I just wanted to let out a big ol' cry. I really think that would of helped me to feel better...but I couldn't, I was in the store. I am trying not to let the whole thing bother me though. We still talk on the phone every now and then...we talk at church and there is never a dull moment. We can always find something to talk about. There are never those awkward silences on the phone like there usually are when I talk to guys on the phone. He's definately different from any guy I've known. There isn't that one thing on their mind. I'm glad that he's willing to get to know me...hopefully...there is hope for us in the future. If not, then I'm willing to stay just friends for life. Cuz that's what I'll have to settle for.
Lately I've felt that every aspect is my life is not where I want to it be right now. I mean, I am very thankful for the life I have...growing up in a Christian home...a family who loves me...a great education...etc. But, I just feel like I need to change alot of things in my life...my life needs some kind of a transformation. I would definately like to improve physically...go on a diet and lose some weight. Not only for the sake of wanting to be attractive to others but to also feel good about myself. I want to look and feel healthier than I do.
Emotionally, I want to try to learn to control my emotions better. I mean my anger...and impatience. Because I can get annoyed very easily...and sometimes I show it way may than I need to. Then...spiritually, I am not with God where I want to be in my relationship with Him. I have not talked and spend time with God as much as I should lately and I want to get into a really good relationship with God like I never have before.
Also I would like to improve the way I take care of things...cleaning my room better...certain aspects of me physically...keep my car cleaned out...and all that. I want to look and feel responsible.
I guess that's enough about me to tell to you all right now. I could go on and on. Talk to you later!
Much Love,
Christine
