So I watched 50 First Dates last night and now I wonder...

would you still love me if you knew that tomorrow i would have no idea who you were? if tomorrow you had to teach me to love you again...would you still love me if we really couldn't create memories together, if everyday you had to tell me what we had done the day before.

man i watch that movie and it makes me think of old couples in which one of them gets alzheimer's and the other sticks beside them and does not ever leave them, just loves them in the moment even though their spouse may wonder who in the world they are. now that's love...to love when the other doesn't even know who you are.

i collect those love is cartoons by Kim Casali and today i think maybe love is...loving them when they forget you.

So I haven't really had time to post because I've been working insane hours at work. I open & close and during the day I nromally try to go to the pool so really I am not home but for 30min. to shower and turn around to leave again. The other night I stayed at work till 5:30am making cakes because we had tons of orders put in for Father's Day, it was crazy! It was just me & Oscar and we listened to his music, we had fun but when it was all said and done with we were beyond exhausted. So last night I closed the store yet again and I worked with this guy Bob. He told me to sleep in today and when I said that I wouldn't miss church he was just in awe...he didn't understand how I could love church so much. I told him he should go with me, but he said the only getting him into a church is lots of food. I think I recall someones testimony as they went to a youth event because there was free food then they started going after that and well today I believe they are a pastor or something to that nature. So if I could just get good ole Bob in the doors maybe some miraculous could happen. My eyes have been opened a lot now that I am getting to know Bob pretty well. Although I am not at a camp, or doing missions in Cali this summer I am pretty sure I have a purpose at work. Pray for me & Sarah, pray that we could be vessels in our workplace. I've been getting to know a lot of people at work really well and one of the high school girls really looks up to me and I take her out all the time. Sometimes I think I am not doing missions this summer liek everyone else, I am just working and being useless...but then you have to realize that sometimes the place where you are needs just as much help. And if you ask me looking around this town it could use a lot of help. Comment and tell me what God's been showing you wherever you are this summer: Cali, Chicago, Lubbock, or a camp. I wanna hear it all!

So it's 5am and I am just getting home from a fun filled night. I first went out to chill with Kylee at Daybreak and go over the book we are reading this summer. Then I took Sarah dinner and as I was leaving Oscar told me to come over so we could go to dinner not that I was hungry. So I get over to his house and we decide we want IHOP but we must wait for Sarah & Linda to get off so we go back to Coldstone so Oscar can get ice cream to hold him over. Our boss is there and talks to us about all sorts of stuff then we get some ice cream, the store closes and we peace out. Me & Oscee just drive around eventually ending up at Wal-Mart. We're bouncing balls to each other and hoola hoopin', having a grand ole time. We buy some kites to go fly after IHOP which by the way is a surprise for Sarah. Oscee gets Batman, Superman & some other dude, while I get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and we buy Sarah Yugioh?!? He's a topping for our cakes at work, sounded good to us. Dinner is good and fun as always, but here comes the real fun...you ready for this?! We go to the park and assemble our kites and we fly them for awhile, eventually we end up lying on the ground staring at the stars. Man what a gorgeous night! So after kites we decide to head back up to Walmart to buy TWISTER! So we're walking around looking at all sorts of stuff. I decide I need to buy a new frisbee because my old one disappeared and then we get into some stuff. We haven't even began to do anything destructive when Mrs. Walmart starts staring at us. So I assume she thinks I wanna still something...what the crap am I gonna do with a huge frisbee & a Twister game board, seriously?! Shove it where the sun don't shine? So after she's completly stopped doing her shipment and is just completly staring at us, I decide I should ask what she wants. I am the outspoken one: "ma'am what the crap are you staring at us for?" Lady: "you can't bounce balls because one time a kid did it and knocked over a bunch of stuff" Sarah: "sorry ma'am". So where the crap is this ball we are bouncing anyway, what a Walmart Stickler. Then we go to the next aisle where the hoola hoops are, mind you we just hoola hooped two hours ago. We are doing our thing when little Mrs. Walmart says "ya'll are going to break something" Jana mumbles: get a life! Then we leave...stupid Walmart Sticklers! So we dislike the Walmart woman very much so. We leave Wally World and head to Oscee's to play Twister. Twister turned out more exciting than I expected, infact it was amazing! I won't lie some of those possessions were a little awkward, but it was fun none the less. So this week is dedicated to hopping back to my childhood memories: hoola hoop, Twister & kites. I wanted to buy a Skip-It & Carebear, but I think that might have been taking it too far. I wish I could be a kid forever, anyone else miss being a child as much as I do? I miss riding my bike around the neighborhood all the time and building forts or just hanging out in our secret clubhouse. I miss walking around in the sewers and playing with legos and teenage mutant ninja turtles. (See even my kite design brought back childhood memories) I miss not having any responsibility! Man I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid!!!!!!

So today after church me & Sarah went and had pizza at Ashley's and after lunch we went into the garage to look at a "junk" box. While we are out there I spot three amazing hoola hoops so I grab one and have at it. Of course Ashley & Sarah grab one too, little did we know Sarah can't hoola hoop. So today we taught Sarah how to hoola hoop. Congrats on your new ability Sarah! You'd be right if that's all I have to say...

This is for you Kelsey, I found this on the back of my Kellogg's Fruit Twistables...it made me think of you! Posted by Hello

So I went to Denton for a few days for my best friend, Chelsey's wedding. Wednesday night she decided to call me at 10 to tell me that I needed to be at lunch at 12:30 the next day which meant I had to leave at 7am...SICK! So I wake up and get out of here, unfortunately my first hour of driving was in the rain and I HATE DRIVING IN THE RAIN! I made it in town just in time for the bridal lunchean and things went great. After lunch I went to Lewisville to find me a new outfit to wear to the rehersal dinner. I made it home in time for dinner so I went out with my parents then I came home and took a nap then I headed over to Chelsey's new house and we had a party over there. First we just put together the party favors for the wedding then we had fun! The guys all came over and we hung out with them, but I eventually had to go to bed because I had to wake up early Friday morning too. Friday I had my very first spa treatment and now I've been spoiled! My mom boyght me the spa treatment for my birthday and she got me the full package. So I had a facial, a full body massage, and a spa manicure & pedicure. After my treatment I went to my moms office and told my mom how smooth I felt and made her feel my baby butt smooth arms. Man I could handle that everyday, too bad that won't ever happen. Friday afternoon I napped all afternoon and woke up just in time for the rehersal. My pastor gave me greif as he always does, I love my pastor! After rehersal I took Kristen with me to the dinner, that's Chelsey's little sister. Dinner was good except our waitor sucked at getting us our drinks so I got one Dr. Pepper for the entire Wedding Party to share. After dinner we headed to Beau's parents house to finish wedding announcements. I had fun talking to Lori & Phyllis. Too bad Beau's taken because I could enjoy having Lori as my mother-n-law. After we finished the announcements we went over to Chelsey's to finish the favors. Me & Kristen got there and just sat and talked while we waited for Chelsey & Britney, we talked forever then there was a change of plans. It was after midnight so I had to go get something from Beau because Chelsey was no longer allowed to see him. Then we headed up to the church to help her parents decorate. We touched up Chelseys slide show and put out all the party favors then went home to get some rest so we weren't sleepy during the wedding. Woke up bright and early Saturday morning to get my hair done, then I went to Chelsey's to talk with her & Kristen for a bit. Then ran some stuff up to the church and helped out for a few minutes, but had to run back to the hosue to get my stuff and to eat some lunch. Back to the church at noon to get ready for pictures. I'll have to show ya'll pictures when I get them, especially now that I know how to post pictures. There was one point that we were taking pictures and I started to get teary eyed, I knew I wouldn't survive the wedding. Forgot to mention I cried in rehersal too, but that's okay because me & Lori (Beau's mom)both cried. We had a bet to see who would cry the most, she ended up winning because I was actually able to gain control over myself. So the wedding starts and I am doing fine, I make it down the isle suprisingly enough. I made sure to smile big because pictures were being taken like crazy. Then I get on stage and the flower girl & ring boy make it up then here comes Caleb, Chelsey's son. And I start crying, dang it...I was doing so good. So I get myself cleared up and then here come's the bride and I completely loose it. Don't worry I gained control again and then it was just an occasional weep. Good thing there is prayer during a wedding because it gives the bridal party a chance to wipe our noses and eyes clear. I kept trying to make Lori smile so I stopped crying and was smiling at her, but it didn't help any. Too bad my mother was balling hysterically...you would have thought it was me getting married up there. Everything went well and the wedding was over in a flash! Beau's family kept telling me that when they were looking at me and I started crying they all started to cry, my bad...I guess I have a contagious cry. Pictures finished quickly then it was reception time. I had to make my toast, I was ready for it and I figured I wouldn't get choked up which is great. Then Chelsey's dad made his little toast and he got really choked up and I lost it and new there was no way I could regain control. Beau's dad, the Best Man went and then it was my turn. So I get up there and tell everyone I thought I could make it till Doug got choked up so they would just have to forgive me. My mom said she turned her head away from me so I wouldn't see her crying because she knew it would get me. So I looked right at Chelsey & Beau as I talked to them about perseverance, me stuttering trying not to cry and Chelsey looking right at me crying...I could hardly make it. Afterwards everyone told me I made them cry again, what's this with me being able to make people cry like that?! I survived my toast, wahoo! We went outside to put Chelsey's stuff in the getaway car...which was a corvette, it was amazing!!! Russ let us shoepolish it too, so that was awesome! We didn't have much space so it just said Just Married! Congrats! And there was a heart around Beau's space. I stayed afterwards and cleaned up with Chelsey's parents. I took a lot of fruit and some cake home. Then I took fruit over to Lori's house and Beau & Chelsey were there so I stayed and hung out. Beau's grandma & Chelsey took down my hair for me. I spent all night over there. Lori adopted me, yay!! I was going to have to marry her younger son if I wanted in the family, so she adopted me instead. I stayed over there till about 10:30 then I went home to hang out with my mommy. Sunday I slept in, then went to lunch with my daddy then came home and took a nap. My mom was sick Sunday so we didn't get to hang out. So really I didn't get to see much of my mommy, but she's coming up July 4th, wahoo!!!!! So the wedding was wonderful, I love Chelsey and sharing her wedding day with her was amazing. I did a lot of reflecting on our friendship and man how I love that girl. Sometimes I wish I lived near Denton so I could see her & Caleb more. I loved being a part of her family again, I always feel so loved by her family when I am with them. And then Beau's family was so great too. It was amazing! Makes me miss my family, and when I say that I mean the entire family. The only thing that gets us all together is funerals and well I wish that wasn't what it took. Anyway, long blog but it's the only thing thats gone on in my life lately.

This is me & Sarah at IHOP!  Posted by Hello

So late night IHOP runs are always fun! I won't lie, we ate a lot of food. Our table: two large omlets, one child sized omlette, a club sandwhich and three pancake stacks. Me, Linda & Sarah can sure eat our food! So if your a IHOP person and you've been to the loop at night then you probably know Fatimah, I met her my first late night IHOP adventure. She knows how to say thank you in a 143 languages...ring a bell? She's amazing! So Fatimah is by far the best waitress ever. She said she was proud of us for eating like we did, nice! So Fatimah told us this joke, I think Sarah might have wet her pants she was laughing so hard...ready? Are you sure your ready for this?? "What happened when the indian drank too much tea? he drowned in his teepee!" Okay here's another one, that Fatimah is one funny woman. "Hey did you hear about the naked ghost? No Sheet!" Ya, that one made me laugh pretty hard. Then me & Sarah were doing Austin Powers stuff and we were doing the Macarena like Dr. Evil and Fatimah was like, "ooo i like that teach me". She's amazing, seriously! So if your feeling a late night IHOP run make sure Fatimah is there and you'll have a good time. Then again anywhere me & Sarah go we have a lot of fun! You should see the pictures we took on Linda's phone, stinkin' hysterical!!!
