NOW..My plan is to print out all the quotes on bright colorful paper and some with backgrounds on them and put them on every diaper. I want each diaper to have a inspirational quote on it so when she actually uses them with baby Grant she can pull out a diaper and read the special quotes I have found for her. It is just something that hopefully witll encourage her when she has a stressful day.

After I put the quotes on the diapers I really want to make it into a small diaper cake, but if I can figure it out is another story. This is what I want it to turn out like:

This but in a smaller version. Any suggestions?

So I got a few days off from work and I was very excited about that so Cam and I had planned on spending the evening together just the two of us, ha did those plans change!

Cameron got off of work at four and stopped by my house we watched t.v. for a minute and then he was getting ready to head down and help Mr. Tom. Well I walked him to his truck and I shouted oooh look at all those deer running in the next door neighbors field! He was like oh man, do you think your dad would get mad if I shot one? I replied idk lets go see if we can see them, so we hurry to the back porch and the deer are not that far at all most definately in shooting range. Cameron runs inside my house and grabs my dads gun I call dad, and ask (in a whispered tone) "Dad is it okay if Cameron shoots a deer in Mr. Gerald's back yard?" Dad-Well I guess as long as you make sure he can make the shot, let me know what happens. Me-Okay! So I shake my head to Cam and give him the go ahead, next thing I know BIG LOUD BOOM. I call dad and said, "Dad he just shot it!" He said ALREADY? that was fast? haha Dad was really happen for him. Cameron was excited too so we get on our boots and run into the field he drags her to the edge I pull her over and we load her into the truck. I do have to mention that my dad had seen this doe yesterday and she was injuried really bad and when Cam went to take the shot he had to shoot her inside of the bigger does, because she was having to suffer. We got everything done and dropped the doe off to Brown's and went to his house. We watched tv and cooked and then I came home. All in all a good day. I finally got to spend more than 45 mins with Cameron he started a new job and has been working alot lately. But thank you Jesus for blessing him with a job!

Savannah is coming home tomorrow and we are having lunch and going shopping at Goodwill yippee! I am excited I do have alot of things I need to finsh up in the morning (studying) so I guess I will wrap things up. I hope everyone has a blessed day!

I was being a big girl and helping Cameron load the deer into the truck. COUNTRY.:)

I need to be doing so many other things then blogging!

So there are so many things I could be...well NEED to be doing at this moment, but I watched T.v., sang to my webcam, and tried to study but couldn't concentrate. So I guess I will tell you about my weekend. I worked at Sassafraz Friday and Saturday and made pretty good money, after work Saturday Kayla and I went to eat at Applebees. And guess who showed up, my parents and sister! Yay I was excited they came to eat:)

Yesterday I went with Cam to Tobey's 1st birthday party
Here are a few photos from the day:)

Cameron and Lexie, Cameron begged her to take a picture and she pretty much was trying to get away so he said please, please take one good picture with my Lex. In the words of Lexie FINE! lol she still tried her best to get away lol

Hehe don't they look so sweet, he just loves Iz!

Last but not least Harper and the Birthday girl! She was excited to get the cake!

I can't remember what I talked about before I started dating Cameron, because now all I can talk about are his precious nieces!

Now I am sitting at home by myself watching Bogus and I am fixing to study!! I have to :) Goodnight everyone!

Baby shower!

Well this week has been a very productive week for me. I'm throwing one of my best friends a baby shower, which by the way no one warned me how much work it actually is! So I have been running around like crazy trying to fine things that match and what cake style should I choose, what color table cloth, plates, forks, napkins, INVITATIONS, who to invite?! Ah haha well I think I finally have mostly everything worked out for the most part.
Here are the ballons, plates, napkins, and innvites!

Her sister is making the cake for me so this is what I think we have decided to go with, but with a few more boy colors!

So I think I have everything done for that expect the invites, but that's ok because I already sent out a message on facebook so yay!

Well I guess I skipped a few things, Monday Cameron, myself, and Miranda drove up to Memphis because Pepaw was having Triple bypass heart surgery, all went well and we all had alot of bonding time while we were there. Hopefully he is getting to come home today! What a blessing. While we were at the hospital I got registered for my classes in the Spring semester my schedule is as follows:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday-Anatomy and Phisology 10:10-11:05
Mondays only I have a lab from 11:15-1:15
Tuesdays and Thursdays- I have Microbiology from 8:00-9:25
Math for Nurses from 11:10-12:45 and after that I have Micro lab from 12:45-3:45
I definately have a tough semester ahead of me, but the good news is if I can make a B in all of my classes I will be finished with all of my basic courses and able to apply to the Nursing program!

Wednesday was Tobey's 1st birthday! Saturday is her party, and I have to say I picked out a pretty awesome gift I think lol.

Tobey and myself on Halloween she was a cute little monkey!

Well I have a big to-do list to finish up so everyone have a great day!
Philippians 4:12
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abdunace and need.

Relaxing day :)

Today was a Lauren day, I got to spend pretty much all day in my cozy house cooking homemade potato soup, researching things on the computer and watching Grey's Anatomy! I needed to have a day like today, it made me so calm and I truly felt better and refreshed. I did have to go to work at five o clock but I was the expo so I only had to work back in the kitchen sending out food. What a great day! Oh yeah and to top it off Cameron stopped by around 2 something and had a couple bowls of the soup I made and just spend some quality time with me. :) I am so excited because we have plans to get professional pictures taken by our friend Amber Next Sunday! Now Cameron is not the biggest fan of having his picture taken but he does like to see me happy so he agreed to get the pictures taken ha ha, what a wonderful guy.

Speaking of having pictures taken I am kinda sort of a FAN of this website so called PINTREST! Who isn't? Anyway, I have a board on my account that is named: "pictures I want to take," well I am so excited to actually get to use that board!

Last thing I want to say is today as I was relaxing by myself at home, I got to looking up careers in Nursing that I may be interested in, here is my list I came up with: (Listed in order of interest)
1. Surgical Nurse
2.ER Nurse
3. Labor and Delivery Nurse
4.Pediatric Nurse
5.Cardiac Care Nurse
6.Travel Nurse

Let's just say I got very motivated after looking into all these careers! I am actually going to be a Nurse one day!
God Bless everyone!

11/11/11

What a cool date huh? 11/11/11! The thing I choose to be thankful for today is all of the Veterans in the world. I know a few people who are serving in the Army, and Marines but other than that I don't think I know many others on a personal level. I am so very thankful to know that I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave and it is all thanks to our military.
Today was a really good day, I went over to Cameron's dad's and spent time with my future sister-in-laws and nieces. After that I went to work and made pretty good considering we were not as busy as we have been. And now I am at home just had a shower and relaxing, I also have my pecan pie candle lit so it seems like Christmas, and I love it!

Tomorrow I am hoping to wake up fairly early and start a pot of warm potato soup:) It looks like I will be the only one eating as of right now because, Cameron is going duck hunting, Payton will be home until 12 than she has try outs for a travel softball team in Dyersburg, mom and dad are going with her, Savannah is going to be at MTSU for a cheerleading competition, and well that's pretty much leaves me! I may call my Granny to come over and have some soup with me who knows!
I have been feeling much better the past few days and hopefully now I am good to go after all my sadness at the beginning of the week!

Last night I started searching for the ultimate Christmas gifts to give people, (something that they have wanted for a while, that I know they will like, and most of all something that is meaning full to them!) I started with Payton and this is what I have in mind for her:

Personally I think she is going to be super excited about them!! I am going to pay a girl to paint them, and they will be custom designed for her!!

-I should note that I typed this out after work, I was extremely tired so I had to finish everything up this morning. The title is still going to be 11/11/11 because that is awesome!

Learning to be thankful for the blessings God has given me

I have to say I have been down in the dumps over the past few days, but I am trying very hard to change that streak! I have been sad all week and tonight Cameron told me he wanted me to come over so we could spend some time together, well I went ahead and came over to his house and let me tell you HE IS THE SWEETEST. He cheered me right up, he also cooked me supper and listened to me pour out all about my day. All in All, Cameron Turner Jones is an amazing Fiance, and I am so thankful that God has placed him in my life.
After saying that I have been doing some thinking, and when I say thinking I mean I have been thinking WAYYYY WAYYY to much. I have decided that I whine way to much, I need to be more thankful and appreciative of the things I have in my life, because some people are not as fourtune as I am. Thanksgiving is coming up and I am going to try and say the things I am thankful for everyday until Thanksgiving.
Today I am thankful for my wonderful family. My mom helps me make decisions about things I am unsure about on my own, she is helping me learn about keeping up with your bills and how to do things a certain way to keep things smooth. My dad is always supporting me and encouraging me, one thing that my dad does that is very special to me is he sends out a text to me my mom and sister everyday telling us how much he loves us and usually he includes something inspiring or funny. My sister is always there when I need her, she is only 15 but is definately a very smart girl. My granny is amazing! She is a strong independent woman and she inspires me so much!! My momo is a great woman who has over come breast cancer she is a fighter, and my grandfather is a sweet man who is very intellengent. He is always on his toes. I love them all so much they mean everything to me as well as the rest of my family does aunts, uncles, and cousins. I love family! Thank you Lord for a wonderful, loving, and caring family.

Hard time

Well here again, it has been awhile since I have blogged, things here lately are very stressful for me. I had tried time after time to hold my thoughts, feelings, and words to myself but today for some reason I feel like I am about to explode. I only go to school two days a week this semester, and I really like it. I am so close to applying to the nursing program, but at the same time I feel as if I am SO far away. Do I really want to have the responsibility of taking care of a patient all by myself and helping them become well again? Well yes I do, I am just scared. I am so afraid for some reason that I am going to do something wrong. I have been trying to study hard and make good grades. I have passed every test that I have taken this semester. I love my anatomy teacher because he has seriously helped me understand how to study. I love my math teacher because I have struggled with math all through college, and now I am finally understanding it!

I just feel like putting my heart on my sleeve right now. I am stressed out, I have been worried and stressed before but I don’t think it has been as bad as it is lately. I have been having stomach attack, after stomach attack. It is not a funny little problem anymore it is serious. I have been going back and forth to the hospital and doctors office since before my colonoscopy. I just want things to stop stressing me out! It is a serious problem that no one understands, I mean my sister has something that is close to the same problem as mine, but mine happens a lot more than hers, so she understands for the most part. School is going good if only I could study without having a panic attack that would be nice. I love Anatomy and learning about the human body, I want to be an amazing Nurse when I finish school. It seems like everything gets to me, it can be a joke at first but the more I talk about it or read it or even listen to people talk about whatever it is I can’t handle it I feel like I can’t sleep because my stomach hurts so much at times. I am just going to start praying so hard, because God is the only person who can help me through this. I strongly dislike being so sad all the time, I am ready to be a happy person again!
