AMA 2023!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll I was a LIIIIIIITTTTTTLE nerveous about camp this year BECAUSE 9 of THE GINTY FAMILY were staying in a room together...I was liiiiiiiiiike, OH NOOOOOOO!!!! Buuuuuuuuuuuut since we literally were hardly in our rooms at all, EVERYTHING TURNED OUT GREAT and I'm pretty sure we're gonna do it again next year and every year till Jesus comes!!! 

.

Sooooooo we get to the border of Tucson and Chelsea see's his mountain and says, 

"WE'RE THERE!!!" 

I'm liiiiike, uh, no we're NOT!!! She's like no we are! I'm liiiiiiike no Chellie we still have a LOOOOOOOOOONG WAYS to go!!! She's like, No look, A MOUNTAIN!!! We're going to A MOUNTAIN APART!!!

.

Dallas/Roswell/Carlsbad/Roswell/Carlsbad/El Paso Trip!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllll if your wondering where I've been for the last week, it's ALL IN THE TITLE OF THIS POST!!!! 

.

Wednesday night was church at my church and as we're going home I said to my sister, well the flight is at 5am but I need to be at the airport by 3am, do you think I should go to sleep tonight or take an over the counter sleeping pill to fall asleep OR just set my alarm to see if I fall asleep on my own??? You know what she said to me??? She said, annnnnnnnnnnnd I'm QUOTING HER WORD FOR WORD, she said,"What amazes me, is that, YOU ACTUALLY THINK I CARE!!!"

.

It all started off at 2:30 🕝 am Thursday, the morning on the 7th when my Uber driver picked me up and gave me his life story on the way to the airport!!! He didn't help me with my luggage, WHICH is an unwritten rule that they're SUPPOSED to do IF THEY WANT A TIP!!!! Buuuuuuuuuut as I was leaving, it was his parting line that ACTUALLY got him a tip!!! After giving me his whole sob story of rent being soooooooo expensive and he's also paying his sister's and her kids and possibly his sister's friend's rent...He said, WELL, HAVE NICE LIFE!!!! I don't know why but that really cracked me up!!! Liiiiiiike, we're literally NEVERRRRR going to see each other again!!! Sooooooooo I gave him a tip in the app to help pay everyone's rent!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

.

NEXT THING...My SUITCASE WAS FIVE POUNDS OVER!!!

 Liiiiiiiiiiiike literally...

 STORY OF MY LIFE..

.EVEN MY SUITCASE IS OVERWEIGHT!!!! 

🙄🙄🙄

Sooooooooooo they told me I had a choice to either get rid of the extra weight OR pay $100!!! Seriously, soooooooooooooo LAAAAAAAAME!!! Buuuuuuuuuut I got rid of five pounds of stuff and one of them WAS NOT THE 15 POUND LASAGNA THAT I FORGOT TO PUT SAUCE IN BETWEEN THE LAYERS ON!!! AHAHAHAHAAA!!! 

.

Sooooooooo I'm just telling everyone that I take Benadryl every night for two reasons. 1. Otherwise I would NEVERRRRR fall asleep 2. since 2018 ive had really bad allergies and sinus issues so that helps with it. Ive talked to the docotor about it and we dont think I have insomnia...I just like LITERALLY don't get tired!!! I don't take naps unless I'm sick or just soooooooooo exhausted...it's not that I don't like naps, I just wouldn't fall asleep to even take one!!! 

.

Soooooooooooo after church on Wednesday, I decided that unless I fell asleep naturally, I would just stay awake until it was time to go to the airport...annnnnnnnnnd I was kinda curious to know HOW LONG I COULD STAY awake before getting tired!!! Buuuuuuuuuut I have to keep schedule so I never actually find out!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll Guess how long??? I fell asleep, NATURALLY, on the airplane at 5:45 on the way to Dallas!!! Soooooooooo basically it takes me 24 hours to get tired enough to fall asleep on my own!!! Which is soooooooooooo weird because I remember when I was young I was ALWAYS TIRED! like In high school and college I was sooooooooooo UNHEALTHY, ALL I DID WAS SLEEP!!! I would fall asleep in class, in between classes, ALL THE TIME!!!!

.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd after a very, very long layover in Dallas, where we had to switch gates and planes and I took a 13 year old boy under my wing cuz he was traveling by himself and literally hyperventalating and sobbing cuz he was soooooooo scared!!! Apparently, I was the most motherly looking in the group heading to Roswell because he kept looking at me with pleading eyes! Annnnnnnnnd of course my Mar Bear heart was stirred....So I was like, hey everythings ok, your going to be fine and you can stick with me when we go to find our next gate....cuz the Dallas airport is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!! He was like, ThAaAaAnk you...allll stuttery...then we start walking over and I realize I don't even know where our gate is cuz I was calming this kid down when they said it!!!!! AHAHAHAHAAHAAA!!

.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut after all that....

We landed in ROSWELL!!!

Not wonderful, beautiful, amazing and fun Roswell, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut home to soooooooooooo many of  my wonderful, beautiful, amaaaaaaaaaaZing, FUN and Godly friends!!! We walked off the runway, which cracks me up, liiiiiiiiiiiiike literally, THE ONLY OTHER PLACE I've done that was in a little island called Bohol in a 3rd world country AND ROSWELL!!! Bahahahaaa!!! And guess what???? I'm sooooooooooo used to being a city girl, I ACTUALLY GOT lost in the airport BECAUSE IT'S SOOOOOOOOOO SMALL and THERES NO SIGNS annnnnnnnd I didn't know what to do without SIGNS!!! I asked the police officer where I should go to get my luggage annnnnnnnnnnd HE ACTUALLY STARTED LAUGHING AT ME!!! He's like, turn right and YOUR THERE!!!

.

Then Jenny came and found me in her mom's beautiful van...Thank you Jenny's Mom for letting them borrow that for me!!! :)

FIRST STOP TARGET AND BOBA!!!

Jenny had to remind me at Target to be careful what I was talking about because we were in a SMALL TOWN...I was liiiiiiiiiiiiiike OH YEAH!!!! not that I was saying anything bad...JUST GIRL TALK!!! Hee, hee!!!

Then we drove an 1.5 hours to Carlsbad, where Jenny and Ryan live!!! Yes, they drive that to church in Roswell twice a week and also doctor's appointments...Did I say Jenny is pregnant??? Anywayz we talked the whole time and I informed Jenny that I was really worried that after all this time of talking on the phone that things wouldn't be cool in REAL LIFE!!! That happens sometimes....Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike your GREAT FRIENDS with someone on the phone annnnnnnnnnd then you hang out in real life and your liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike OMW THIS PERSON IS SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!! (I'm liiiiiiiiiiiiike WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS AFTER MARRIAGE  to some bro and YOUR JUST STUCK???)

.

Anywayz, that night I made Mar Bear Tacos and then we played a board game and Ryan said rolling dice and killing monsters makes me OFFICALLY a NERD!!!! Buuuuuuuuut I lost sooooooo I don't think i'm quite there yet! Still holding onto my "Cool City Girl Shopaholic" card for now!!!!

.

Then we went out for a night tour of Carlsbad so that Rayden could fall asleep and they took me to all the mansions along the other side of the river and basically we just cruised around and wasted gas but it was super fun.

.

FRIDAY!!!

Was go, go, go, go!!! Which is exactly the way I like things!!!!

First we went to Blue House Cafe and it was sooooooooooo GOOD!!!

ANNNNND COFFEE!!!

.

Happy Brain-boosing Wednesday!!!

Here's your middle-of-the-week brain booster!!!

.

"Did you know???..."

What scatology means???? YEEEES, that is a REAL WORD!!! 

Soooooooooo we were playing games at the church a few Sunday nights ago, and the word was SCATOLOGY! If you you've never played  BALDERDASH, it is an incredibly FUNNNNN game where you make up definitions for extremely rare words, then they all get read and  you have to guess which one is the actual definition. The thing is, is that SOMETIMES, the definition is really crazy, sooooo you NEVERRRR know which one could possibly be right!!! 

Btw: I would like to add in that I WON the game, 

EVEN THO Stultz said it was UNJUSTLY...Psh✋

.

Weeeeeellllll THE WORD WAS SCATOLOGY and Denae came up with THE AWESOMEST definition everrrrr!!! 

Every time we play this game, there is usually ONE definition that wins the BEST DEFINITION EVERRR AWARD from me annnnnnnnd DENAE ONE THIS TIME!!!! She said: Scatology: The Study of getting rid of boyfriends!!!! Get it??? Like, SCAT, get out of here? SCAT??? AHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! 

Good one Denae, 

GOOD ONE!!! 

"...Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll NOW YOU DO, annnnnnnnnd don't you FORGET IT!!!" (AIO BTV quote;)
♥Mary Frances :)
P.S. If you want THE ACTUAL definition of scatology go HERE, but it's not nearly as exciting as Denae's!!!

ROSWELL!!!

Sooooooooooooooooo it's time to go back to the beginning of JULY and blog about ROSWELL!!!

I saw this shirt at the mall and I said to my sister,

And plus we all had so much fun together!!! Daisy and I had several laughing fits about who knows WHAT!!! So then Stultz is like REALLY GOOD at taking large group pictures, so we were saying that he's like the King of GROUPIES!!! And I'm the Queen of selfies and how the next time Stultz preaches its going to be about how its NOT all about your SELFIE, you NEED to include the whole GROUPIE...annnnnnnnnnd then I come running to the alter laying down my cell phone...LOL...Well you had to be there!!! Plus we had a REALLY funny waitress that was just adding to the craziness with her own funny comments!!!

OH annnnnnd the ICED THAI TEA WAS AMAZING!!!

Friday night we all had a BLAST at Perkins, buuuuuuuuuuuuut no pics!!!! I told a few life stories and we got to meet, THE PENTECOSTAL SANTA CLAUSE!!! LOL (Inside Joke!) Oh ANNNNND THEN when I was talking one time, unbeknownst to ME, the guys decided to COUNT how many times I said, "LIKE" they said 14 times in like 20 seconds...WHATEVERRRR!!!  

♥

Then after that we went back to our hotel, we got there at like 2 AM and Jonathon and Aaron were like, should we go check out the ballroom to see if anyone is still up there??? I was like, I think they said that it closed at 2 am, buuuuut we went up there anyhow and let me tell you something, THE PARTY, was STILL ROLLING in FULL SWING!!!

I finally got MY FIRST, LATTE ART!!!

Starting the LOOOOOOOOONG drive home!!!

I just noticed that Colorado Springs is BEAUTIFUL!!!

My toes talking to Stultz...they were saying turn on the audio story...

He said he don't talk to FEET!!!

I said, YEAH, buuuuuuuut

YOU talk to my PALM

ALL THE TIME!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

♥

We listened to audio story dramas all the way home!!! I was surprised that Stultz's favorite story was "Jessica's First Prayer" anyway, As we drove Jonathon said that we couldn't listened to "The Haunted Room" till it got dark!!!LOL And it was super cool cuz it was storming in the story while they were driving, THEN it started storming as WE were driving...Buuuuuuuuuuut then my sis and MJ got freaked out when we got the part where the house servant is talking about the "ghosts" LOL

Soooooooooo we listened instead to "The Hiding Place" Which is an ABSOLUTE amazing story!!! I now want to go one day to Holland and visit The Ten Boom's home where they built their secret room...that would be AWESOME!!! Anywayz, we listened to that story til we literally GOT HOME!!! ALL In all it was an AWESOME TRIP!!!

Can't wait for Heritage 2017!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

West Coast 2015!!!

West Coast!!!! Who's ready to hear about the rest of this trip??? Sooooooo Hanna and I headed to Starbucks before we left...OF COURSE!!! LOL

Then Hanna started listening to her audio book and I was trying to take a nap but you can see that since I'm taking a SELFIE of my self "Sleeping", obviously I was not to successful with that!!! LOL

Hanna's GPS took us ALL OVER THE PLACE off the paved road to some crazy back road in the middle of NO WHERE!!! Buuuuuuuut it got us there!!! LOL

.

By the time we got there we were SUPERRRR LATE, so Hanna and I RUSHED to check into our room and we got ready in like 8 minutes!!! LOL You don't gotta do much to look good when your ME AND HANNA!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! ;))))

.

Then check this out...

Jen and Hanna just HAPPENED TO MATCH in the exact dress!!! They had NO IDEA the other was going to wear that...I guess that's why they're kindreds, I wouldn't be surprised if Anali was over there in Roswell wearing the same dress!!! Bahahahaha!!!
