CHRISTmas time

I know that is has been a while since I have blogged. I have had no time to get on and post anything so now I am going to update it.
Let me start with Friday. Friday I went to work even though I was not feeling that good. Later on that evening I went with my brother to get rest of the Christmas shopping done. On my way home I stopped at Food Lion to get some stuff for Saturday dinner. Once I got home I went ahead and cut up the tomato and cucumbers that I needed for the salad. Once I was done with that, I got Scot to help me wrap some gifts.. I think that we finally went to bed sometime after midnight.
Saturday morning Garrett woke us up at 6:45 a.m. to see what he got from Santa. He was really excited when he saw that he got a new bike. Once he was done opening gifts that Santa brought him he opened up more gifts that were from Scot and I. I was feeling really bad still so I went back to bed and stayed in bed till about 2 p.m. Then it was time for me to get ready for rest of the Wright family to come over to Nana's for family time and a dinner. Once everyone got done eating we all gathered in the living room to open gifts. That was a full room. I was amazed that all the gifts and all of us could fit in there. The kids opened up their gifts first. Then Nana and Pa opened up theirs, then Mamaw and Papaw opened theirs. The parents waited last to open their gifts. Scot and Joy took some great pictures. When I get the chance I will post them on here. After all the gifts were unwrapped it was time for some dessert and relaxing time. I think that everyone started leaving around 8:30 p.m. But, Joy, Chad, Scot, and I stayed up till about midnight just talking in the kitchen..That was fun.
Sunday morning Scot, Garrett and I had to get ready and go to my parents house for a wonderful brunch that my mom made. I have pictures from then too, I will post them when I get them together.. Garrett got another gift from my parents. My grandma Maier was there so she opened up hers because for the first time in a long time she had to work Christmas day. We got done over there around 12:30 p.m. Scot, Garrett and I went to my brothers house after that to see his pup Ginger. We got back to Nana's sometime around 1:45 p.m. The rest of the family was there again to enjoy some really good food. I was not feeling good still, so I went upstairs and crawled into bed. I woke up sometime after 5. Lets see what else did we do after that. I think that Scot and Garrett played some video games and I stayed in bed..We finally crawled into bed around 11 p.m. again.
Monday Scot woke up early to play with Garrett before he had to go home with Lisa. She picked him up around 9:00 a.m. Then Scot and I got ready again and went to my parents house to have Christmas lunch with them and open more gifts. My sister was able to make it. Even though she had people calling her and asking her to go in for them. She told them that she couldn't because she wanted to spend time with her family. That meant a lot to me... Brendan, Lizz, Scot, and I played SKIPO till lunch was ready. Once we got done eating, I helped mom with the dishes. Then it was time to go in the living room and open gifts. I want to thank all my family for the wonderful gifts that Scot and I received from all of you. We love you guys.. I took a few pics. Once we got done with that mom, Brendan, Scot, and I went to MTMC to see my grandma and wish her a Merry Christmas. She was surprised to see us. I know that it made her day. After we got done visiting with her we went back home and played another round of SKIPO. My brother won that game. Scot and I left my parents place around 6:010 p.m. and went to see some friends of ours. We wen to see Mike Bain and Tiff.. We did not stay there long because Scot had to get home and get some sleep. He has to work the next morning.
Yesterday, Scot got up at 6:00 a.m. and went to work. I could only sleep in till about 8 a.m. I got dressed and went to Sonic and picked up some food for Scot and Carl.. Then I drove to Murfreesboro to go SALE shopping with my brother and sister..Scot called later on that morning telling me that he was off for the rest of the day. So when I got done in Murfreesboro I met up with him at the Walpers. Then he and I drove back to Murfreesboro and went shopping with my sis. The three of us went to IHOP, then to Hobby Town. (Yup, Scot spent his gift card that Charlie got him.) Then off to Target where I got a few scrap booking stuff with the gift card that my sister gave me. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and I got a new scrapbook kit with a gift card that my wonderful sister-in-law Joy gave me. (Thank you very much Joy). Then Scot and I went to Heather and Philips to have a wonderful dinner. Scot and I finally got home around 9 p.m. It was time for us to crawl into bed and get some sleep before we had to get up and go to work this morning. So that is how my last few days have been. I know that it is a little long. I hope that I did not keep you bored..
I just want to say thank you to everyone that has touched my life. The best thing out of the past few days was that I was able to spend a lot of time with my Wright and Bratcher families. I love you all very much.
I will post my pictures hopefully sometime tomorrow...Sorry that you have to wait...

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT DEATH
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about this. Very interesting, read until the end.It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON: Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ,
was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even
God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he
got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): During a show in Canecï¯ ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT THE TITANIC: After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

MARILYN MONROE: She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

BON SCOTT: The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005: In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU."
She responded: "ONLY IF HE(GOD) TRAVELS IN THE TRUNK, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL". Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.

Christine Hewitt: A Jamaican Journalist and entertainer, said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.JESUS!!!P.S: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this? I have done my part,

Jesus said "If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.""What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul? What can man give in exchange of his soul?" (Matthew 16:26). AMEN

It's Your Birthday...

Visiting Friends

Brendan and I decided to go see some friends of ours that we have known for the past ten years. We left right after I got off work on Friday. WE got to the Hooks house about 9:30 our time. We sat up till about 12:30 or so just talking about what has been going on in our lived.

Saturday morning we woke up around 9a.m. and had wonderful breakfast that was prepared for us. Mrs. Hook had to go to work at 2p.m. So Brendan and I left around noon and headed to Gatlinburg to go do some shopping. We walked around for a few hours. Believe or not I did not find anything that I really liked. On the other hand Brendan found a few things that he liked and got. We started heading back around 5:30p.m. When we got back to the Hooks we had a wonderful dinner prepared by Mr. Hook. After dinner we just sat around again and relaxed. We also got the chance to learn about Bee's. Plus I learned that honey never goes bad. Brendan and Mr. Hook left around 11p.m. to go pick up Mrs. Hook from work. She works at the hospital as a nurse. Once they got home we stayed up till about 11:30p.m. talking about cats and family.

Sunday morning we had a big breakfast. After that we just enjoyed each others company. We watched birds on the porch. Then Mr. Hook took us outside and showed us how he fed his bees. And some other neat things. Mrs. hook gotready to go to work again, and Brendan and I packed up the car and got ready to getback on the road to go home. Brendan and I had a wonderful time.

Mr. and Mrs. Hook,
Thank you so much for allowing Brendan and I to stay at your place. Thank you for the wonderful meals that you prepared for us. Also thank you so much for the honey. I had some when I got home. Hopefully we will see you soon. Next time we are going to make sure that the whole family comes including Scot. :P.

Crab...

Last night my sister took me to eat at Chef Wangs. She asked me to try some new things. So I did. I tried Ginger. Let me tell you that stuff is nasty. The thing is, I asked Lizz what does it taste like before I tried it. Well she told me that it tasted like Vinegar. She was wrong...It has a really bitter taste. The other thing that she wanted me to try was a beef thing that looks like a dumpling. That was not that bad except that it was really really greasy. Lizz I enjoyed eating dinner with you. You are awesome. Thank you for listening to me and being the sis that you are. We never have a dull moment anytime that we are together. I am looking forward you getting on myspace. That is going to be really fun. Es milu tevi masa.

Hey guys I just want to let you know that there is a yucky thing going around. I know that Abby is sick. Last night Scot was not feeling that great. He did not go work out with Philip like they usually do. Instead he went to bed at 7:30p.m. This morning he woke up sounding really bad. So he stayed home. I hope that he can get a lot of rest. I know that he was not sleeping that well either. So please pray for everyone that has the bug. The weather does not help any either..I know that I am going to do my best to make sure that i don't catch it.
