So, because Ana is so demanding, here is an update, since I know everyone reads this.

Pssh. Yeah right.

I don't really know what to talk about, so I suppose I shall just give you a rundown of the past while. All of the information that most of you haven't been informed to.

Clifford and I started dating a few weeks ago. I had been grounded for a few days prior to the beginning of the relationship. I was supposed to be only grounded for a week. I got grounded on a Wednesday, we started dating the following Sunday, and I was scheduled to get ungrounded the following Wednesday. No biggie, but I got grounded for another week and a day after my scheduled release. Real downer. Cliff left the Tuesday before my final scheduled freedom to go skiing. That made me a bit sad. I got ungrounded Thursday, he came back the following Tuesday, which was this last week. He had a meeting at church that night, and then came over, and we watched TV that night. He brought me back this gorgeous horse figurine from his skiing trip. It's blue, with like, Native American painting on it. I am in love with it. The next day was Wednesday. He came over Wednesday afternoon. We were getting a new washing machine that day, so it was a bit crazy here, so we ended up going to the park. That was a lot of fun. Saw some pimpin' ducks there! Lol. Pictures to come shortly. They're all on my mom's phone. Then after the park, he stayed for dinner. Mommy made spaghetti. It was alright, I suppose. Then we ran off to church. I don't remember where we went after church. I think he came over, and we watched TV until 10:30, at which point my parents kicked him out. Lol. Then on Thursday, we went to the zoo. Decided to take my 16-year-old friend from Texas, Katie, with us. We could only stay for around 2 hours or so, because apparently the zoo closes at 5:00pm on winter hours. That was kind of a letdown. After that we went to QuikTrip and got slushies. Yum! Saw Chris standing in front of Jiffy Lube holding the sign. Lol. We took Katie home, I fed my neighbor's dog, and then Cliff and I started to watch The Dukes of Hazzard Unrated edition (since I own it on DVD and all). He left for a little while to go eat dinner with his family, and I ate with mine, since neither of our families had been seeing very much of us lately. Lol. After dinner, I went to his house until about 10:00 or 10:30. I don't exactly remember. We watched Dukes of Hazzard there. Friday Cliff came and picked me up, and then we went and got birthday cards for Andrew Nickle, then went to his house until time to leave for Andrew's party. His party was pretty fun. I mean, how could you not have fun with free pizza, cake, Olivet students, and enough helium balloons to make Jacob sound normal for once, and not Satanic. Lol. After the party, we went to go see V For Vendetta (We being Nickle, Sweaty, Turtle, Nick, Jeffy, Jacob, Samantha, Me, and Clifford). Very good movie. Seriously a "must see." After that, most of us went to Jordan Truly's house for a bit, then Cliffy took me home. I left the house at around 3:00 that afternoon, and didn't get in until 12:30 that night, and I must say, I had a marvelous time. I figured that I wouldn't see Cliff again until next week, since he was leaving for Mexico the next day (I was under the impression that he was leaving the following morning). Well, for some odd reason, I woke up at 11:00 the next morning. That was odd because I normally sleep until 1:00 on a saturday afternoon, even though I didn't go out the night before. Soon after I got up, Cliff called me, and said he wasn't leaving until that night, so we spent basically the whole afternoon/evening together before he left me for the week. He picked me up, and we went and got some food at Sonic. Yum! Then headed off to his house. He got on the computer, and I watched a bit of the basketball game with his parents. We then decided to go see Failure To Launch at the Warren. Another very good movie. I suggest seeing that one as well. After the movie, we went to Marble Slab and got some ice cream. I had Vanilla Cinnamon with Gummy Bears in it. Sooooo good. Seriously. I'm madly in love with gummy bears, but that ice cream was so amazing. After the ice cream, we just cuddled on the couch (awww! I know) until time for him to leave for church. Everyone loaded up in the Suburban, and we took Elaine's boyfriend home. Then all headed off to church to see Clifford and Elaine off. That was hard. I fought back tears the whole time. Mostly because I didn't want to look like a retard, or make Cliffy feel bad. But I got his cowboy hat, so it's all good. Lol. After they all loaded up on the bus, Cliff's dad brought me home. That was about 10:00, so I got to spend another 8 hours with Cliffy before he left for the week.

Pastor Ron said this morning at 11:00 that the youth was in El Paso, and they'd be in Mexico very shortly. Well, I got a phone call just shortly ago from Cliff. Apparently, Pastor Ron was wrong, and they don't go into Mexico until tomorrow. So, I just have to go Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday without talking to Cliffy. I think I can make it. It's a lot better than what I thought it would be. Lol.

Cliff's mom wants me to stop by one day this week, so I'm going to go by one day and hang out with her. Call me crazy, but I think it sounds like fun. I love his family. (Please don't shoot me for that, Cliff!!! Lol.)

So, that was more of an update than this xanga has seen in months. I hope you all don't get used to it! Lol.

I know it's crazy to hear, but I'm so unbelievably happy.

So crazily, unbelievably, and unfamiliarly happy. And I love it!!!

Godstrong?

Many thanks to those of you who have been praying and such for me, and my family, my shoulder, the divorce, and everything. Here's your update.

My shoulder: Last day of physical therapy was today. I'm completely done with it. Hooray! Unless I have another flare up, I just need to keep working on building muscle to help my rotator cuff. So, hooray for that.

The divorce: Surprisingly, called off! They started getting along amazingly last week, so things are great.

I know all of your prayers were heard, and that God is taking care of me, and us all. Thank you so much. For all of those who I talked to, your late night phone calls and me coming running to you crying just because I needed someone to talk to, you being there for me meant a lot to me, and still does. So, many thanks, and I shall be here to return that favor at any point you feel like you need someone to talk to. If I didn't come running to you, it's no offense, or anything. I probably just didn't have your number or address, or else I'm sure I would have.

Many thanks again, and I hope to be back with another update soon.

Pretty much what I told life when it tried to kick me down. As I always do.

I'm beginning to learn just how much I hate life.

Just found out my parents are getting a divorce. I have to leave the house I've grown up in. I have to move, my family's falling apart, and so am I.

I sure hope I get accepted to Dartmouth. I can't stick around here much longer.

*le uber sigh*

Please pray for me.

That shall be me in July. When I am finally out of here.

Thank you for the comments, everyone. I'm sorry I don't have the time to respond to each of you personally, but I have a lot to do, and I went to Hawthorne Heights last night, which helped take my mind off of things. Not to mention I got to take some anger out on some innocent random people. Lol.

Anywho, updates are usually posted on this page: www.xanga.com/BrandNewSpecial. That's my newest one. Go there for more frequent updates, and to read about the amazing show, and how awesome the guys are that I went with.

Much love to all.
