Ok. Starting from Sunday...I've had the most TIRING weekend I think I've ever had. I was so tired yesterday, it wasn't even funny.

Sunday--Got up and got ready for church. Then Holli called and asked what she needed to do with her clothes, because she stayed with us all day, because of the play. She came out to the house, then everybody got there for Sunday school. We had snacks, mom read the Christmas story and then we played a game. We went out to church, it was SOOO good. Daddy didn't get to preach. Man, there were some people there who really needed to get saved, but, they chose to walk out the same as they came in. I prayed and prayed and prayed for our youth group, I mean, literally. I don't remember crying that hard while I was praying. Church was over and Brandon & Holli came out. We ate, we made candy, while I watched Indianapolis get beat...after going 13 & 0 they lost to a pretty BAD team. Oh well, Seattle won and that's all that matters. We went out to the church and practiced our songs, then came back out and it was time to get ready. I did Holli's hair and makeup, she looked SOOOO pretty. The play went great, Miranda didn't mess up, I didn't mess up, Holli didn't mess up, Brandon didn't mess up. The drama's went GREAT! I was so proud to say, I TAUGHT THEM THAT, or I HELPED THEM WITH THAT! LoL. Charlie was there, it was great to see her. But that afternoon while we were eating lunch, the phone rang. I thought it was my aunt asking me to do a drama at her Christmas play Monday night (last night) but it was a friend of ours, Jamie. A few months ago I had found out about this thing they were going to, with, Casting Crowns, Newsong, BarlowGirl, Building429 and I wanted to go to that, instead of WinterRAMP so bad...well, it fell thru and I said to God, IF IT'S MEANT FOR ME TO GO, YOU'LL MAKE A WAY. Well guess what? He did! They had a guy drop out, so they called me...I'm going too! I'm SOOO excited. It's in Gatlinburg and GUESS WHAT? Whitney almost DIED when I told her this, MY PARENTS AREN'T GOING. Can ya*ll believe that? I'm going to be leaving NEXT Friday coming back NEXT Sunday. The WinterRAMP stuff fell thru, so I am just taking this from God. He made a way, and I'm going to enjoy that way. LoL! So I got, the Carrie Underwood CD, ALOT of Bath & Body stuff, a lipgloss set, a purse set...and a WARMNESS set (LoL...scarf, gloves and head band) for Christmas Sunday. Brandon got me a pair of fuzzy, Alabama flipflops. I like them...they are warm. LoL.

Monday---I dreaded work more than usual, because my weekend was SOOO crazy, and I was SOOO tired. It was fine, but I did almost lose it once or twice. It was CRAZY! I got off and we went to Ryan's to eat. Then we went to the mall because I had to get my memory card put in my camera. Well, the dude had sold my parent's the wrong kind. He sold them a SD and I needed a XD! So we got that fixed and I now can take, 130 pictures...but my 'rents aren't letting me take it on my trip. I'm SOOOO mad about that, but I'll just take my $20 one. I'll prolly pick up a dispos. too. LoL! I got me a pair of New Balance (FINALLY) they are black and red (and white of course...Roll Flippin' Tide) because Jamie said I would need some GOOD tennis shoes. Oh and guess what? It's going to be FREEZING while we are there, they are predicting SNOW. Yeah, crazy. LoL! Anywho...we went to my aunt's play last night. It was called, CHRISTMAS AT THE PARSONAGE. They really needed my family for that. LoL. Then we came home after some other events. LoL. I was so tired, but I couldn't go to sleep and I was to busy listening to the Kirk Franklin "Hero" cd that Amber sent me. It rocks! I love it. So, I spent my $15 gift card @ Wally World yesterday, but kept it because it is reloadable. I got some fleece pj pants, some toe socks, some undies...LoL...and some gum.

Today...I'm staying home. I have to finish my math for the past couple of weeks, and I'll be done until January the 4th! WOOHOO! I have to help mom with some more Christmas stuff, and then who knows. Tomorrow---staying home, then church. Thursday I have to work, then um, we are going to Fibbers' with Mama Chick and Granddaddy. Friday, I forgot...Saturday going to my Mom's parents house...then Sunday, I'll wake up, do gifts, then have to get ready for church...my WHOLE family is going to be there, from my dad's side. His brothers, sister, all their family...then we are going to Mama Chick and Granddaddy's house. So, yeah, comments please. This is a LONG entry. Later! AmBeR

12 days until Sweet 16

8 days until Christmas!!!!

Hey ya*ll! I had one of the best days of my life today.

Today I had my Sweet 16 birthday party. 12 days early, I know, but I had to have it, because I'll be gone on my birthday.

I got my birthday present today, guess what it was??? A REAL DIGITAL CAMERA! With SCREEN and ALL! It's an Olympus. We've got to go to Sears tomorrow and get them to put the memory card in because we can't get it in and I'm affraid if I shove it down in there I'll tear the camera up. I was SOO happy. I have played with it ALL FRICKIN' DAY!

I had to model at Chiffon Bleu this morning, which turned into more of a standing there in a pretty dress, talking to Mary, Deana and Christina, sorta thing. It was fun. Deana did my makeup, and I got two new shades. It's great! So anywho, yeah, it was fun!

Came home and finished getting ready, and Nikki and Kaci got here. Anna was next, then Kayla. The Whitney and Aimee was last...we had so much fun. We went out to the Limo and rode around for an hour and half. I opened gifts and we ate in the Limo. I got $$$, a gift card to Wally World, a hat, a belt, toe socks, and then for Christmas from Nikki I got Bath and Body stuff. We ate, then they asked if we wanted to go anywhere particular. I said, DRIVE-THRU AT CHICK-FIL-A SO WE CAN GET ICE CREAM! The lady said she had NEVER been thru the drive-thru anywhere before. It was HILARIOUS! Mark was working window, and when he saw Mom it was funny. We rode around for a little while, then went by my grandparents house. Twas cool. We had alot of fun. Then we arrived at Chiffon Bleu. We had a BLAST! Dresses were EVERYWHERE! I got some good training in for when Prom season gets here. When it was all over, me, Whitney, momma, Nikki, Kayla and Kaci all had to pile into the car and ride home. Whitney left right when we got back but the rest stayed to look at the pictures and I had to print them one. Luv ya*ll! Comments PLEASE! Later! Amber

Hey ya*ll! Sry it's been so long. Yesterday was my trip to the RAMP! OMG! For all my friends who have been there, or go there often, ya*ll know how great it is, but it's never been THAT GOOD...it was GREAT all 3 services. Mrs. Karen even got up and told it had never been like that there before.

Holli & Aimee went with me & Momma. It was FUN! We left at 7am because we had a stop along the way. We got there at like 15 'til 10am and didn't leave until 1pm. That's how GREAT the service was. Therefore we had 1 hour for lunch. We walked down the street to KFC and it was YUMMY!

The 2pm service was AWESOME! Chosen did MAKING GRAVY!!!!! They did He Reigns & Revolution. After Revolution they were talking about the man who did that track and they played a track of a bunch of 7-11 year olds praying. It was amazing, those little kids sounded like they were about 17 or older...they were soooo anointed as they prayed...I had never heard anything like it before...EVER! The spirit fell and right as Chosen was fixing to do Oh How We Want You to Come...it turned into a prayer service.

Eddie James & his group sand at the 10am and it was GOOD! We found us some songs we want to do.

MALLORY----SUMITON WAS THERE! BLAINE WAS THERE. It was weird seeing Blaine anywhere but Campmeeting, Camp or Teen Talent...LoL!

The 2pm service never really let out. They told people if they felt like they had to go eat, they could but that they weren't gonna let out a service like that. We ate right there at Cafe a la Ramp...bought what we were gonna buy in the bookstore and went back in. By then, everybody had kinda already left but about 50 kids or so.

I bought the 2005 RAMP poster...and the Selah Project CD which ROCKS! It only has 6 tracks on it...I paid $15.98 for it...but it's worth it. I wanted to buy the SORRY I'M TAKEN shirt...but due to paying for mine and Momma's lunch yesterday, I didn't have enough money. Aimee bought it tho. She got a poster and a LIFE band...Holli got one too. They had SOOO much fun! You would have never known Holli had been Baptist her WHOLE life, until like 4 r 5 months ago.

We left the 7pm service at 9pm...right as Damon Thompson was getting up to preach. I wanted to hear him preach SOOO bad...and see what else God had...but we had to leave.

I had a BALL...it was GREAT! They did Bring Me to Life/Breathe Prophesy last night...it was AWESOME! I love that one. Chris, Josh, Stacy and some others have quit...so it's weird seeing Chosen without them, Abbie, Hazem & Chase...then the new kids. It's weird...but anywho...God still moved GREATLY! I was sooo touched!

Eddie James sung this song yesterday morning and we're gonna try and learn it...it's SOOO much better with them singing it and the music and everything too...

You are the Lord, the famous one, the famous one, GREAT is your fame in all the earth. The heavens declare, you are glorious, glorious, GREAT is your fame in all the earth.

LaTeR! AmBeR *Roll Tide*
