Oh man, I thought my week 3 weeks ago was drama-laced…this week has been even worse. I can’t believe that it’s already been an entire week since my horrible weekend that started last Friday. Believe it or not I’m not going to talk about it because it was basically a weekend of hell. I don’t think I’ve ever cried that much in those 3 days than I have in, like, 3 weeks! It was a horrific weekend. Look up horrific, that’s the perfect word. Seriously, prayer is the only thing you guys can do for me, and I would really appriciate it. And to those of you that I've already asked to be praying I just say thank you, thank you so much. It means way more to me than you know. =] Anyway, Andrew and Amanda Hein and baby A.J. came down for the week, they got here late Thursday night I believe it was, it was a ton of fun having them in. even Joseph came down on Tuesday for a few days, he left on Thursday though. Andrew and Amanda have been married for a little over a year now, and A.J. is 7 months old. He’s so cute! I got some awesome pictures over the weekend. All of the Vaughn’s are great friends with the Hein’s so they were all over here almost all week. Hannah stayed at our house probably 4/5 of the week. It was awesome. =] Andrew and Amanda stayed in my room, I wish they didn’t have to leave but I’m really glad to have my room back. Today is the first time I’ve really been in it in 8 days.-laughs- I ‘recorded’ some of my favorite moments from the week, they might not be funny to you guys but they made me laugh. I’m going to post some of them. =]

Daniel Vaughn regarding nose rings- “I hate those things, they’re not attractive and they look like frikin boogers.”

Andrew’s comment to my “why-wearing-stuff-with-skulls-on-it-is-so-pointless” argument-“Why do you have pictures of an insane psychopathic murderer on your wall hmmm?”

Bethany on our way home from Wal-Mart-“I hate sneezing when I drive.”

Daniel regarding the movie The Patriot-“Danielle have you seen The Patriot?... Oh wait, it has Heath Ledger in it so I’m sure you have…”

Amanda regarding my room-“Danielle I love your room! It’s so cute! I took pictures of it!”

Some DannaHannah one-liner jokes-

“That was definitely not candy…”

“OOOH! That felt sooo good!”

Baby A.J. was so happy, Hannah and I had so much fun with him! I taught him stanky legg and Hannah and I taught him The Potion, it was hilarious! He would do this baby cackle thing at exactly the right time for the beat, it was awesome! X] So much fun.

So last weekend had its low points and it had its high points. The basketball “kick-off” on Monday was really good, though not really for the basketball part, more the before and after parts. Basketball has been pretty good so far, I’m really sore today.-laughs- but it’s been going good. So far anyway. =]

The song Fly Away by Grits is my God song right now, it’s kind of how I feel God is speaking to me right now, there’s a line that says I wish we could fly away, I’d take you somewhere far away and that’s what I feel God is saying to me right now. Telling me that right now at this point in my life I need to focus on him. That’s hard but I’m working on it. =] I like to answer the question How’s Life? with a strong Terrific! but right now life is just OK. Tolerable. Bearable. Endurable I guess. It’s a little sucky in parts, and really good in others, so that makes it endurable instead of just plain Not Good. I’m working through it though, there’s a ray of hope shining through, to sound like a song lyric. X]

I hate growing up. Certain points in growing up. I really hate ‘em. But then other things about growing up are awesome. Absolutely awesome. There’s a happy medium. Somewhere in there, there’s a happy medium. Just a thought.
