A Wonderful Week

This past week of Aug 31st-Sept 6th was exciting and fun! Monday I took my car to the shop to get my hood fixed and got a rental. It was an 09 Honda Civic. I liked it a lot. Kinda wish I had one. I went to FHE and played a little volleyball. I talked with the sister missionaries about going out with them once in a while. They said they would love for me to and I could even spend a day with them if I liked. That's just what I wanted to do. I was excited. They said they might get transferred this week though. Hopefully more will come in if they do so I can still go with them. I went with them that night to a firestation. They go there a lot and talk with the guys there. They seem to be pretty good friends with them.
Tuesday I started reading the Book of Mormon. There is an EFY BOM challenge to have it read by the end of the year. I decided to do it. Figured it would be really good for me. If we read 5 pages a day we will have it all read by new year's eve. I'm excited for this! I worked 2nd shift that day. I met a lady mom knew and was sending messages to from the church, Lacrecia Foster.
Wednesday I hung out with Sarah. She rode with me to Best Buy to get Heroes and The Used's new cd. I took her to Belk to look at shoes. I worked 3rd shift first on Westview then on Rehab. I talked with 2 ladies I work with that are Jehovah's Witness. I'm always intrerested in talking to others about their beliefs. It was interesting to me how we share some beliefs and differ in other things. They tried to tell me they have the truth and the only church with the true name. I told them we had the correct name (Jesus Christ). They made me feel a bit dumb by saying Jehovah was God. I was confused at first but moved on. I didn't want to argue then. But it kept festering at me. I looked it up later and found that they are misinformed. Jehovah is really Jesus Christ. They think Jehovah is the proper name of God. So I was correct. It was funny that one of them tried to convert me. She told me there were people I could talk to anytime about their church and I didn't have to let anyone know about it. They go to the church that is across the street from ours.
Thurday my car was ready from the shop. I reluctantly took back the rental and they took me to Watson to pick up my car. They did a good job. They replaced my hood and buffed up my front bumper. It looked as good as new. Now if only the rest of my car could be fixed. It's not even worth it to fix it. They even cleaned out the inside! It looks great! I stayed around the house that day. I got a couple more hours of sleep before I went to work for 3rd shift. I worked on Northview that night.
Friday I didn't go to sleep when I got home from work. Instead, I took a shower and got ready to go with Sarah and her brother to go shopping in Anniston. I drove us so we would have room Her bro is a pretty big guy. We went to Martin's. I spent too much money. Then we went to the mall and I bought two pairs of heels, one black and one brown pair. Then we went back to Talladega and I got a shirt at a store there. I spent way too much money but I guess that's all the shopping I'll do for a while. Sarah also worked 3rd shift last night so both of us were running on fumes. Needless to say, we were pretty silly cause of lack of sleep. Once we got back, we took a nap til Brent got home. Then we went out to eat at Logans then to Starz for karaoke. I was really surprised Brent went. Even more surprised he agreed to go up and sing. Sarah dragged me up. I don't mind singing, I just get nervous in front of people. So she did all the dancing around. Brent can't carry a tune in a bucket but it seemed like they had fun on stage. Sarah loved it all. She's been wanting to do karaoke for a long time.
Saturday I hung around the house til it was time for football. College football started tonight! It was mom's birthday. I wanted to take her out to eat but she just wanted something from McDonald's. I got her something then went to Sarah and Brent's to watch the Bama game. We went to the store to get stuff for rotel dip. Brent's dad and brother came by to watch the game with us. We swapped between games. Bama was playing VA Tech and I wanted to see the BYU vs Oklahoma game. I was surprised but BYU actually beat Oklahoma ranked number 3 I think. It was a miracle. They won by a point. The Bama game was good too. Got better at the end. They have a new quarterback who is pretty good but could be better. Bama won their game too. Auburn won as did Florida. I text Will back and forth. I was also texting Crunch. Brent's bro, Brian came by expecting to lay on my lap while watching a movie. Sarah proved him wrong. She doesn't want him anywhere near me. He literally has a new girl every week. We watched a horrible movie, Crank 2. It was full of boobs and bad language and violence. I felt so filthy after watching that. I felt like I had to repent. I spent most of the movie texting so I wouldn't pay attention to it.
Sunday was fast and testimony meeting. I was going to get up but we ran out of time. I talked with Pres Cordner about talking to the Jehovah's witness to get his take on what they said. He always makes things clear. There were only 2 kids in Primary today. After church I tried to take a nap but didn't get much of one. I went to Sarah's. Her, Brent, and I went to his parent's place on the lake to ride their sea doo. It was my first time. It was really fun and exciting. Sarah let me drive for a while. Such a neat thing. Like riding a motorcycle on the water. Right before we let Brent ride, she tried to throw me off the back. She almost did a few times but I grabbed her so she slowed down. I told her if I was going in, she was going in with me. Brent rode for a bit then we put it up and changed. I went out to eat with them and Brent's family. I wasn't going to but decided to at the last minute. Sarah's little sis, Emily, came over too. Scott called me so I talked with him for a while. I was getting into a really weird mood. It was kinda depressed and kinda like I wanted to seclude myself. I wasn't too talkative at dinner and hardly said anything on the way home. I'm not sure why it came on all at once but I think part of it might have been from Brent. He's a great guy but sometimes he says vulgar and rude things. I think I was letting it get to me and bring me down. I went home right after dinner. After being alone I decided I needed to do something to let off steam. I went to Sylacauga to play tennis with Sarah and Brent. That helped some. I felt better. Then went to their house to watch a movie that was better than the once last night but still not very good.
All in all, the week was good. I had my down moments but that's normal I'm sure. I'm human. It happens.
