DEAR SIX FLAGS OVER GEORGIA:

Why in the WORLD would you ever make a ride like this?? I cannot even look at it without getting nauseous (sp)and sweating :-(

If you ever decide to invent a device for the GOLIATH that goes over my shoulders and straps me in I might give you another chance. I gave you a chance that one time remember?? You failed me with your little bitty LAP thingy! Like that is gonna hole these hips in that seat!!! Thank goodness I had the hubby and the BFF on the sides of me so I could hold on to there little rinky dink lap belts :-) I mean look at the people in this picture. They are barely even in their seats after the 90,000 foot drop they just went down.



THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this ride in the park. It is my FAVORITE ride at 6 flags!!! Shoulder straps and feet straps!!! What more could I ask for?!?!?!



Oh and while we are at it, could you PLEASE install a Dress Code policy please?? Just tell the visitors that if they spen all day picking the clothes out of various crevices of their bodies that they probably should not be wearing that in your park!

Sincerely,
Leslie powers (recent visitor to your park)

12.....

Since I have been married for 12 months now I thought I would go ahead and write 12 reasons why I am SO glad I married James and why, 2nd to being baptized, it was the BEST decision I have EVER made.

1.) He is my VERY best friend
2.) He makes me laugh harder than ANYONE I know
3.) He is so handsome
4.) He is going to help me get to HEAVEN
5.) He does not fight/argue with me
6.) He LOVES my family
7.) He is SUCH a good dad to our Dogs :-)
8.) He will be and EXCELLENT dad when the Lord decides to bless us with Children!
9.) He loves me for who I am, and does not try to change me
10.) He is the funniest dancer I know........and I am glad that I am the only one he dances for, but I really wish others could see it because it truly is HILARIOUS!!!
11.) He is the Christian man that my parents prayed that I would find
12.) He was worth EVERY one of the 7 years that we dated and those who say they will not wait that long for someone to marry them may JUST miss out on the wonderful blessings that come from waiting.

These are just a few of the reasons I am so glad that I married him. I am so grateful that he chose me to marry and cannot I imagine my life without him in it. I hope I get to spend atleast 80 more years with him!!!

This time next week.......

I WILL BE IN JACKSONVILLE!!!!!!!

This is my city!
I was born and raised here
My family lives here
I HOPE to live here again one day!!!

I WISH.......

that my husband had NORMAL working hours,

that I lived somewhere OTHER than Montgomery,

that my parents lived closer to me,

that my brother and his wife lived closer to me,

that my new puppy was potty trained,

that my car would buy itself new tires,

that it was football season already,

that i could force myself to order water everytime I went out to eat........$2 is too much to pay for a drink,

that people did not celebrate Christmas and Easter as RELIGIOUS holidays......and if they want to, i'd like for them to show me evidence of it in the Bible. Last time I checked Easter was not even on the same day every year...........idiots!!!

that there was a water park close to montgomery that is better than the one in Auburn,

that Christian woman would stop dressing like street walkers,

that people would not ay OMG.........that is so disrepectful to God,

that my best friends baby was alreay here for me to spoil :-),

This is not supposed to be a negative post. Just some things I was thinking about.

PREGNANCY..................

They say it's in the water around these parts................................That's why I'm drinking DIET COKE :-)

COLE

This is my new nephew Cole. Isn't he the cutest!! He is the first boy grandchild for my parents. There are 3 girls before him so it was time for a boy! I love him so much already!!

My DAD.....

He as to leave the Monday after Easter because my sister-in-law is being induced Monday (march 29th). Oh well......he will only be gone for 2 weeks and then him and mom are coming back through Montgomery on their way back to jax. Here are a few pictures of my dad..........I just love him!

My dad the Gator fan........yells WAR EAGLE just for me!!!


He's a BIG KID at heart!!


Some say we look alike....


The day before he "gave me away"......he said he never really could....


He loves Bob Ross......he paints better than him though!


We LOVE each other a little bit :-)


One of my FAVORITE moments


BFF's


The real reason he is coming to see me this weekend is so he can babysit George for a week!!!!!!! I'm on to his tricks :-)

my BEST friend........

IS HAVING A BABY!!! I have been telling her for months.......scratch that YEARS that I was ready for her to have a baby. I know I know that is very selfish of me, I mean afterall it is her decision and not mine. So anyways she invited me over for lunch yesterday and gave me the GREAT news. I AM SO EXCITED that I do not know what to do with myself. This baby will ABSOLUTELY be spoiled rotten by me! I can promise you that. I have 3 nieces already and a nephew on the way that I NEVER get to see so this will hopefully make me not miss them so much. I need to throw in here that I think Taryn will be an INCREDIBLE mom. She is so great with kids............maybe not itty bitty babies, but when they get to be 2 she will be good to go ;-) I am so happy that I get to be here for all of her pregnancy stuff. I cannot wait to find out what she is having. I know what I hope she is having but I will keep that to myself so maybe I won't jinx it. Taryn, when you read this I just want you to know that I love you so much and I cannot wait for my new little niece of nephew to get here. This baby will be so loved. To baby Brodie........HURRY UP AND GROW ALREADY.......I WANT TO MEET YOU!!!

Darcy Lou

I get to spend the weekend with this girl! We are going to CHUCK E. CHEESE. I am so excited. I think James may be more excited than me and Darcy!

Leslie........GEORGE RAN AWAY!!

So today Started out with a bang! James called me while I was at work and told me that George had ran away.........um......EXCUSE ME??? Ran away??? George the dog that practically walks under my feet when I go outside, the dog who HATES to be by himself, the dog who last time he got out of the back yard fence went around to the front door and cried and barked until we found him at the front door?? At first I thought James was kidding......Which was not a funny joke!! I soon realized he was not kidding. He could barely talk and I could tell he was out of breath. When I realized he was not kidding I started crying! I mean this is my little buddy, my baby, my SON!! That may sound super dramatic, but I do not have kids............HE IS MY KID! I digress... So I said did you check our neighbors yard? he LOVES our neighbors dog LIZZY. He was not there. James is running around our neighborhood while I am on the phone bawling at work.I need to throw in here too that at this point he was crying. If you know James at all you know he is NOT A CRYER AT ALL! That should show you how much we LOVE this dog. So at this point it has been about 10 minutes since he has been looking for him and he is on the next street over. I all the sudden hear, "GEORGE COME HERE"!!! I was SO relieved. He was on the next street over about 6 houses down. He only weighs 6 pounds and he is just a little bitty puppy. That was a LONG way for him to run away. When James was trying to get him he thought James was trying to play with him and he kept on running. James finally got him and took him home. I asked James if he "spanked" him when he got home and he said he did. My favorite part of this story is that James said the "talking" he gave to george probably hurt George worse than his spanking. I asked him what he told him and he said, " I said to him George, WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY?? IS YOUR LIFE HERE THAT BAD"??? I laughed so hard because I can just hear him saying this to him. Anyways George is home safely and I am GLAD!

Isn't he just the CUTEST thing you have ever seen?? I would have seriously had to have been committed if something would have really happened to him!! So anyways I have some other exciting news involving this little puppy.......

Her name is Ginger. Stayed Tuned for more info.
