Just two cups of water!!!

The other day I was thinking about a time waaaaaaaay back in my teens and I busted up laughing!!! There was this guy that like, absolutely ADORED ME!!! Like, anything I wanted he would do! He liked me for like, EVERRRRR!!! He bought me expensive stuff that my mom always made me give back if it was to high, he took me to banquets, he just pretty much kissed the ground I walked on...NO JOKE!!! LOL He went to our church at the time and was good friends with my oldest brother.

.

Well one day, this guy and me and my sis and my brother  and I'm not sure who else may have been with us, but we went to the drive through at Jack-in-the-box. I'm NOT sure where my mom was, but we had her van, which the transmission was going out on it so it was CONTINUALLY stalling! #poorLife

.

Weeeeeeeellll as we were going through the drive through, I don't know WHY, for some reason I was getting up and switching spots with someone in the van. Well when I got up, the VERY OBNOXIOUS guy in his big O pick up truck yells out to me, Fat @*^%$@ I was like, kind of embarrassed but at the same time I was just like, Dude, your stupid whateverrrrr!!!

.

 I didn’t even acknowledge the comment, But I mean, no matter what, comments like that still hurt you and put a damper on your spirits! No one in the car really said anything much about it just like, oh just ignore him, he's being stupid. But this guy that liked me just sat there and didn't say anything!!!

.

So when we got up in line to order, we all said what we wanted and this guy that likes me says, "Just two cups of water for me!" So we're like, your not gonna eat? He's like, NO! Just two cups of water! We're like, OKAAAAAAAAAY...I hope he's NOT sick because he was also known for having the most random bouts of sickness!!!

.

So we get our food and we're about to pull out on to the street and this guy says, No pull over in the parking lot and he starts to open his door! We're like OH GREAT! He's going to get sick!!! Now people are really going to say stuff! Well he gets out of the van and he's still holding his two cups of water. Then he looks my brother in the eye and he says, “GET READY!!!”

.

NOW we're like, OH NOOOOOOOO!!! He then walks DIRECTLY to the big O pick up truck, goes up to the passenger side where this rude guy's girlfriend is sitting and he says to her, "HEY!" and when she turns her face to look at who said that to him, he throws the first cup of water in her face! Well having NO CLUE what had just happened to her, SHE SCREAMS!!! Like,

AAAAAAAUUUUUUHHHHH!!!

.

Meanwhile, we're all siting in the van like, TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!!! Oh no, we're all gonna die!! What if this guy has a gun??? What are we going to do? What if he tries to chase us? What if the van stalls while we're trying to get away!!!

.

Weeeeeelllll...When she screams, of course her rude boyfriend turns to see what is going on and upon seeing water all over her, he's like, WHAT IN THE @&^%$????? Just cussing up a storm and like a champ, when he turns his face to look out the passenger window to see what is going on, this guy that likes me takes the second cup of water and throws it in HIS FACE!!!

.

 Which was EXACTLEY what this guy had planned to happen...he threw the first cup at the girlfriend, TO MAKE SURE, this obnoxious RUDE guy, turned his face to the passenger window so he could REALLY GET HIM...RIGHT IN THE FACE!!!

.

Well now this guy in the truck is OBVIOUSLEY IRATE!!! He's yelling and screaming and cursing, revving his engine, BUUUUUUUT there is NOTHING he can do BECAUSE, there is a car in front of him and a car behind him now...HE'S STUCK!!!

.

My devoted lover liker comes RUNNING BACK TO THE VAN at full speed, we have the door open and my brother just TAKES OFF OUT OF THERE!!! Thankfully, much to our relief, THE VAN DID NOT STALL!!! The Lord had mercy on us all!!! Finally when we were at a safe distance from Jack-in-the-box, we're like, LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!!! I can't believe you did that...that's soooo STUPID...that's SO AWESOME...your an IDIOT...buuuuuuuuuuut DUDE THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

.

He's just like, NOBODY, TALKS ABOUT MARY!!!! Awwwwwwww!!! Isn't that sooooo sweet??? Annnnnnnnd I have to say, had he had all his ducks lined up and been where he needed to be spiritually, weeeeeelllll I may have considered him!!! LOL!!! Cuz as idiotic of a move as that was, as a teenager, I was STILL pretty impressed by his bravery to do something soooooo STUPID, in order to STICK UP FOR ME!!!! Like seriously, AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

.

As for that rude-obnoxious guy, first of all, I HOPE that his girlfriend realized she was dating a JERK and dumped him and second of all, I hope that every time in his life since then, when he goes to make fun of a fat girl, I HOPE HE REMEMBERS...

TWO CUPS OF WATER

Annnnnnnnnnnd THE MOST STUPIDEST ACT OF CHIVALRY EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

P.S. And I'm honored that the act was done FOR ME!!! Hee, hee!!!

The Walker Family!!! (repost from December 2020)

(I wanted post and repost as many memories with Bishop!)

Sooooooooo about a month or so ago, my pastor was telling the church about a message is dad used to teach to the church about a family called The Walker Family!!! (Representing all the people that continually get up and walk around, going in and out of the sanctuary during the service!) He said his dad would talk about this family whenever people started getting up so much during the service for every little thing that it was becoming a distraction during the preaching...he then proceeded, like his father, to tell us basically that he noticed lately that The Walker family was back at church and to basically keep the movement and getting around to the minimum! (Of course if your child is screaming bloody murder or throwing up, please take them out! LOL) 

.

As a 3-4 year old child, I VERY MUCH remember Bishop Abbott preaching about this family! That night, a group of us went out to eat for Stultz's birthday, and Bishop Abbott and Bishop Sister Abbott, (That's what we call Elder sister Abbott...I think it sounds better than Elder Sister Abbott, cuz elder sounds old! Or as Odin calls her, The OTHER ABBOTT! LOL)

.

Soooooo we're all sitting there eating, and Bishop and Bishop Sister Bishop Abbott and I was like, SOOOOOOOO about THE WALKER FAMILY, I don't know if anyone else was listening, buuuuuuuuuuut I KNOW MY MOM was!!! I KNOW BECAUSE I peed my pants after TWO OF THE TIMES The Walker Family was preached about because my mom wouldn't let me go to the bathroom during the service when I said I HAAAAAAAAAAAD TO GO!!!

.

The Abbotts started laughing so hard...I was like, and remember how the church off of Highland in Scottsdale, you had to walk across the front of the church to get to the bathroom! They're like, YES!!! And we all started laughing again!!! You just have to know my mom...thinking, you can wait Mary, just hold it....she was sooooo determined to do the right thing...

ANNNNNNNNND 

THEN there's me...

even as a child...

I was the exception to the rules!!!

THE REASON WHY THERE ARE CLAUSES IN THE RULES!!!

.

*For Example: Liiiiiike, don't get up during the service, UNLESS you really are going to pee your pants!!! OR, Always stop at the stop sign, UNLESS it means that the car behind you is going to crash into you!!!! (If you hear screeching brakes and your thinking, NO way she's actually going to hit me, MOST LIKELY, SHE IS!!! Jus sayin! ;) annnnnnd yeeeeeesss there IS story of someone you may know…oooops

Mom's treasure box!!!

Recently I found something that I absolutely adore in my mom's room...

HER TREASURE BOX!!!

I remember when I was a little girl, any chance I had to look in her treasure box, I would. Sometimes I would offer to dust her room, and take extra time on her dresser, just for a peep in the treasure box. Other times I would just sneak in her room when I knew she was to busy to find me. Her treasure box was filled with all sorts of little trinkets, it was just so interesting to me, and I would think, when I grow up, I'm going to have a treasure box, JUST LIKE MY MOM'S!!!

.

As I was going through her treasure box now as an adult, I realized that most of her treasures would have no value to anyone else...

Memoirs from her childhood family, travel trinkets, little things to remind her family and things she accomplished...

Buuuuuuuut almost EVERYTHING I found in that little treasure box had to do with family, her children. I remember when God gave my mom the vision of heaven, she was in such absolute awe of what she saw, there was such a longing n her heart to leave this world behind her and go to what she had seen, and YET, I remember her also breaking down and crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she said she wanted to so badly to go to heaven, but she didn't want to leave us...We were THE ONLY THING that she longed to hold on to, the only thing that caused her to hesitate...

♥

WE WERE HER TREASURE!!!

Recently, out of curiosity I was researching about a certain religion that highly values motherhood. Upon my research, I came across the writings of a disgruntled ex-member of this religion. Now, I don't personally agree with a lot of the teachings, because they do no follow what the Bible says, I DO AGREE on their take on motherhood, however, this previous member did NOT!!! He said, my sister is SO SMART, she COULD HAVE been ANYTHING, but instead of pursuing a career, SHE IS JUST A MOM!!! When I read that, I just thought, WOW!!! It blows my mind that anyone could say something like that!

♥

I am SO GREATFUL for a mom that put MOTHERHOOD over her CAREER, we weren't just a check on her bucket list, she TREASURED US!!! My mom knew the secret of THE ONLY things you can take with you to heaven, SOULS!!! Truly we were THE ONLY treasures she wanted to take with her!!!

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)

What I always wanted to be...

I LOVED playing baby dolls!!! I would play with them all day long and literally had to force myself to stop playing with them when I was 12!!! I would say in the picture below that I was between 9 and 11 years old!!!  All I ever really, really wanted to be my whole life

was a MOMMY!!!

Growing up, I LOOOOOOVED playing with my baby dolls!!! I had SOOOOO many dolls and I would play with them and dream about ONE DAY when I was ALL grown up and had REAL BABIES of my own!!! I dreamed of when I would read books to my kids, make them blueberry pancakes and teach them about Jesus!!! *I still haven't ACTUALLY learned how to make blueberry pancakes yet...hmmmm...maybe that's WHY i'm still single!!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

Yes... ALWAYS!!!

I ran across this picture the other day and was showing it to people at church. It's me on like my 7th or 8th birthday with these little quint dolls I had received! I looooooved them because they were soooooo little annnnnnd SOOOOOO CUUUUUUUTE...annnnnnnnd well because they were CHOCOLATE!!! (DUH!;)

 

So Denae sees the picture and is like, are those little black babies? I'm like YEAH!!! She's like, WAIT, Soooooo you've ALWAYS been this way??? Even when you were a kid??? I started laughing...Then I said, YES, ALWAYS!!!! I don't know why but I've always had a really special place in my heart for chocolate people!!! 

.

For as long as I can remember, I've ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY!!! I don't know when it first began,  but the earliest I can remember is at 4 years old!!! I was ALWAYS into baby dolls. That was MY THING! Well that year for Christmas, my sis got a REAL BABY DOLL and it was Asian looking!!! I was mesmerized by this doll, my sister coulda cared less about it, she would much rather have been outside riding bikes with my brother and beating up the neighborhood boys!!!  She was NEVER interested in it, UNLESS I TOUCHED IT!!!! THEN she wanted it!!! BAHAHAHAHA!!!

.

Sooooo I decided that for my birthday that year, I wanted MY OWN Real Baby Doll...buuuuuuuuuut I wanted mine to be BLACK!!! At four years old, for 6 months straight, I begged my mom for a black real baby doll!!! Annnnnnd for my 5th birthday, my wish was granted...I was estatic!!! I GOT MY FIRST BLACK BABY DOLL!!! Have I always been this way??? YES!!! ALWAYS!!!

.

You can't tell me that a four year old in love with black people, is just a COINCIDENCE!!!! I believe it was ordained by God!!!  Its something God planned for me from my very beginning... I think When God made ME, he must have put a

CHOCOLATE MAGNET

INSIDE MY HEART!!!

Purrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Blue jacket!!!

I found this picture of me with this blue jacket!!!

Oh the BLUE JACKET!!!

My mom had bought my sister and I identical jackets...EXEPT mine was blue and hers was PINK!!! I was SOOOO disappointed with BLUE instead of PINK!!!! "But mom, I want pink like Theresa!!!" But Mary, you have BLUE EYES!!! I had NO clue what that had to do with ANYTHING!!! My mom tried to explain to me that it was because the blue jacket made them stand out!!! I coulda cared less about MY EYE COLOR...I wanted PINK!!! Theresa didn't have pink eyes...buuuuuuut she still got a PINK JACKET!!!  Blue was for BOYS!!! Pink was for girls!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

.

NOW I understand WHY my mom wanted me to wear the BLUE jacket!!! I REALLY DO LOOK GOOD IN BLUE!!! And ACTUALLY, my TWO favorite colors are PINK ANNNNND BLUE!!! Why??? Cuz I LOOOOOVE PINK annnnnnnd BECAUSE I LOOK GOOD IN BLUE!!!!
