New Year's Eve

Today is the last day of 2010, wow it seems crazy to me that a new year is already fixing to begin. 2010 has been my best/worst year so far I think everyone has one of those kind of years in their life. I lost someone who was the closest thing to a brother I've ever had, I got a new job with so many opportunities for the rest of my life, I passed all my classes with good grades, I bought my own car, I got engaged, my boyfriend's brother and sister in law were blessed with a little miracle who is just precious, my dad's uncle passed away, my little sister entered high school, my mom and dad and myself have gotten closer, and I balanced being a full-time student with two jobs...what a year! I was so blessed to have gotten to meet so many new people this year. I feel like 2010 was my year to break lose and come out of my shell. I took on two jobs to try to support myself I was a full-time student and pretty much started paying most of my bills. Yes I do still live at home and I know that is kinda like cheating but hey if my parents are still allowing me to live here I'm not going anywhere this house has been my home since I was a baby. I love it here, the crazy thing is just seeing how much things have changed since we first moved here. When I was a baby Ryan lived right down the road from me and my friend McCall lived beside me all of us grew up happy and just enjoyed being little kids, dang don't I miss those days. All you want to do when your young is grow up grow up grow up, but when the day gets here to actually be the grown up it sinks in....reality sometimes sucks. I decided on my own that I wanted to get another job and stop playing softball I liked working and having money called my own. Just to know I actually got up and worked hard for my money gave more meaning to everything I do in my life. If I want to buy someone something I do it because I work hard for the money and things I have. I hate when people think I am bragging or being a spoiled brat when I show off the things I get, but I am not trying to show off I just am proud because I worked hard to buy things that are mine. Growing up this year has thought me to give more than I recieve even if I don't want to do it, don't be selfish, be there for the people who would drop anything at any moment to help you out. Love, Love, Love, be with your family and enjoy the small things. So I'll be bringing in the New Year at work working and hopefully I'll make it to my someone special before 12:00 to get my New Year's kiss! God Bless and Happy New Year!!!

One unforgettable night

Last night was so amazing, the concert was great getting to spend one on one time with my boyfriend, and geting to see one of my favorite singers of all my life was AWESOME! I don't think I could have asked for a better ending to the Zac Brown concert Alan Jackson came out and sang the song they have together, (Don't be falling in love)..it is a wonderful song! We didn't get home until two o'clock in the morning Cameron did great staying awake to drive. As soon as we got home we fell asleep, only to wake up a few hours later to celebrate Christmas at Cameron's mom's house, it was great. All the babies came over except Tobey she's still not allowed to get out yet. We had a huge breakfast, and a fun time opening presents, Mrs. Linda always has a huge Christmas, that is awesome. I stayed at his house for a while and just talked and laughed with his family then I came home and talked with Payton for a while. After we watched T.V. and talked about the concert we both got showers and went out to eat with our mom, dad and grandad in Fulton. Grandad takes us to dinner alot and we like to have fun talking to him and bonding, he just can't hear that good so its like we are practically yelling at him in the resturant. lol That's ok though he just laughs at us. Now I am back at home listening to my new Taylor Swift C.D. it is AMAZING if I may say so lol... and I am trying to study for the Compass test I have to take on January 3rd. I have to do well on this test so I am hoping that I can make myself buckle down and study for it. It's just so hard because I'm on break but I have to get my butt into gear and suck it up. So I guess I am going to wrap this up and make myself study thanks for the encouragement lol. Let's see how this goes! Whooo

A special Christmas gift!

Today is a very special day for Cameron and I, we are going to a concert! I have not been to a concert since I was like 13 and that was a Brittany Spears concert haha. Hey she was the bomb at the time lol. Anyways back to the concert, well Christmas was four days ago and I was with my family opening gifts and Cameron came over with an envelope in his hand can you guess what was inside? That's right, tickets to go see The Zac Brown Band! We both love country music so we are pumped and very thankful to his parents for giving them to us. We are heading out about 2 this afternoon yay! Funny thing though on Monday of this week we were suppose to have his family's Christmas at his mom's house well I woke up in pain and very sick so I went to the doctor early that morning and found out I had strep throat..Strep really?? I was upset because I haven't had strep in close to nine years! Then Cameron text me and said Christmas was cancelled because his mom, brother and himself were throwing up with the flu. Strange right? Well I am on antibiotics still but I'm feeling better and Cameron is feeling back to normal today so we are going to Nashville! Thank you Jesus!! After I found out I was sick I had to go to work that night I'm horrible I know but I have to have money..Right before I went into work my dad called Payton and said my dad's uncle was sick and in the hospital and they weren't expecting him to make it much longer. That was a crazy day, but I made it through work, my dad's uncle was still alive, and Cameron was sleeping finally. I thought okay hopefully tomorrow will be a great day. Well the next day my mom and I went to see Payton play basketball in Newbern, she did great she scored her first three pointer!! Then we get back home I'm resting on the couch and dad called and informed us that his uncle had passed away. He was in alot of pain so now is gets to be with the Lord and out of pain. They aren't sure when the arrangements are going to be yet so I decided to go ahead and go to Nashville tonight and be back for his funeral. Death is such a hard thing to deal with, but you can't stay mad at anyone or God because dying is a part of life. We live our life to please God because he loved us enough to create us and put us on this earth and he has a plan for each and everyone of us. Please keep my family in your prayers. God bless.

First-time blogger :)

Hey! Well where to begin? Um I guess I could start with my name haha. I am Lauren Robertson I'm 19 years old and a sophomore at Dyersburg State Community College. I decided to start off at this college so I could follow my dream to play college softball. Well I lived my dream for a year and it was great! After my first year as a college softball player I decided that this truly wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE softball, it was all I did for 14 years!! I put my heart and my soul into it, softball was everything to me I worked so hard for it. I was on travel teams, high school teams, Troy league teams, I even got the chance to play on the same team as my little sister one time. That moment was so special to me. Now that you'd listened to my blast from the past, here's my present day life. I am a full-time student, I work two jobs, I'm an assistant during the day and a waitress at night. I enjoy both of my jobs even though they are stressful at times. Now to my family, they are the people I love the most in this world. My mom is always willing to help me with anything, my dad has always encouraged me to have the drive to get the things I want, my sister is the best sister in the world yes she is five years younger than me but she is great. Now to my boyfriend, well fiance Cameron Jones. I am so in love with him and thank God for blessing me with him! We have dated for four years now. He is so wonderful to me, and I am so thankful for my family and friends. My friends, I have two bestfriends Savannah London and Clarissa Hayes. I've know Clarissa since the first grade, and I have known Savannah since the eighth grade. They have both been there for me through thick and thick and I am so blessed to call those two my friends. I have been through alot in my life but I'll tell you about that in another post, I don't feel like talking about that right now. Sorry. I hope everyone has a great night! More blogs to come!
