Sooooo at the beginning of this summer I was INCREDIBLEY excited about going to Heritage!!! i had been thinkin that I would NOT be able to attend because my brother's wedding in Bohol PI was scheduled for September and I told my lil brother okAAAAAAy did you HAVE to plan your weddin right then??? I won't be able to go to ANYTHING this summer cuz i'm gonna be savin my ALL money for THAT!!!!
Well then there was a turn of events and my brother ended up changing the date of his wedding to the beginnin of January 2012. (It was NOT so I could go to Heritage...LOL!) And I was like SUPER siked!!! I was like YESSSS!!! I am sooooooo READY to go meet NEW GUYS!!! LOL (Just bein honest..keepin it REAL folks;) Cuz I mean...lets face it...I'm NOT bein conceited BUT I have lost A LOT OF WEIGHT and this is the best i've looked since like 8th grade and I was READY... so when I thought I couldn't go I was like HORRIFIED...but then when I found out i could I was DELIGHTED!!!
But then after Old Time Camp meetin...Idk...I just got this feelin like it wasn't that of a deal for me to go anymore. I mean I was STILL plannin on goin...and its NOT like God directly told me NOT to go...it was just kind of like this feelin inside of me like...its not a BIG DEAL!!!
Then my sis was tellin me that my mom was really wantin to go to her Uncle's 80th birthday in Florida and she was like would you want to go? So i'm like, yeah sure, when is it??? She tells me the dates and its like THE SAME time as Heritage and I was like GASPIN inside and she was like, well if you went you would have to miss Heritage...BUT she said that if I put the money I was usin for Heritage towards my plane ticket she would pay for the rest of the trip...sooo without really thinkin about it MUCH I was just like okaaaaaaay SURE!!!
Cuz I mean...It was my great uncle's 80th birthday and that ONLY happens ONCE in a lifetime & plus I've NEVER been to Florida before sooooo a couple of weeks before Heritage my plans were switched and I was REALLY excited about it...then when we got there I didn't even relize that my sis was payin for us to stay at the
...HOW SWEEEEEEEEET is that??? Cuz I mean I like totally

(Sooooooo the point that I was tryin to make in ALL this, but got slightly carried away, is that I did my own little devotions in the morning at the the beach... and God really talked to me there...which is cool...cuz I didn't think I was gonna get my blessin without going to Heritage...but I guess God can touch you ANYWHERE...( like...DUH)... even at a five star resort at the beach...BUT ...I THINK i'll save that for ANOTHER blog post now...HAHA!!!)

Soooo anywayZ, i'm just standin there frozen, my eyes wide, with my mouth HANGIN open...I couldn't even say NOTHING!!! And the poor guy...I don't think he thought my reaction was cuz I thought he was cute...I think he thought I was like really FREAKED out by him...cuz its the south and lotsa people are all RACIST over there...He is just like...heres your towels ma'aam...and I felt REALLY bad that he thought I was scared of him...I wanted to be like...Heeeeeeey I'm NOT like that...but I couldn't cuz I was FROZEN...LOL...I was like awwwwwww man...I soooooooooooo shoulda been wearin my grape koolaid shirt...had I been wearin that shirt...idk ya'all...I REALLLLLY think I just might not be single right now!!!
