Had A Fun Weekend!

Tuesday, 20 April 2010 09:46 by Nikki

Some of the ladies from my church (including my mom and grandma), went to a few different flea markets and really had a good time together. First thing we did was eat at Cracker Barrel from breakfast and then went to a flea market about an hour south, then we headed towards home and saw another HUGE flea market that we all liked a LOT more than the one that we drove an hour to get to and this one is only about thirty minutes from the house. Like I said, it was lots of fun and I hope that we get to do that again sometime soon!

This week is when our church is having our revival and I am enjoying it SO much. It started on Sunday morning, then was on Sunday evening, and Monday evening, and will be again tonight and tomorrow evening. The pastor that we have preaching during the revival is doing an awesome job and I am looking forward to hearing him speak again tonight.

Next Friday, as I have mentioned before, I am meeting my dad up in Illinois at the Six Flags. I just know that it is going to be a blast! I enjoy spending time with my dad, plus my husband is going too, so that makes it even better! Looking at the weather, it looks like it is going to a little bit cooler than here, but still close to, if not, in the 70s. I am hoping for it to actually be a little bit warmer than that, but no matter what, it will be lots of fun! The park is opening this weekend and we will be there next weekend, so I am hoping that it wont be too crowded.

Well, I have a lot of things going on at work today, so I better get back to it.

Have a great day! Smile

This Weekend!

Thursday, 15 April 2010 08:36 by Nikki

So, as I have already said, some of the ladies from my church are going to this huge flea market this Saturday and I think it is going to be a lot of fun. The flea market is less than an hour away, so not too bad of a drive! Smile I get really bad car sick, so I hate being in a car very long...so I am very thankful that it is pretty close by (luckily I don't get sick if I drive, so I will most likely drive).

I am getting really excited about going to Six Flags at the very end of this month with my dad and his family. Hopefully it will be nice and warm weather...like it is outside right now (80s). When it gets a little closer to time I will check and see what the weather is supposed to be like the weekend that we are going to be there. All of this reminds me that I need to call my dad to see what the plans are as far as hotel room, location, etc... since I have no clue what the actual plans are besides meeting near Six Flags in Illinois.

I have an important announcement to make. If you have been following this blog, you know that my step-sister passed away last October due to a very rare and fast cancer. She was a sweet and very strong willed girl who NEVER complained about anything. She changed a lot of people just by telling her story, and even though she is not with us on earth anymore, she is still changing lives today. My step-mom and dad have started a non-profit organization in her memory that will take care of families as well as the children with cancer. This organization will help fund events for children with cancer, so they can enjoy life to the fullest as well as help out their families with bills, as we all know how expensive medical bills are! Having said all of that, my dad has built some nice bird houses that are being given away for a donation and as soon as I get some pictures I will post them as well as more information regarding how to get one. Hopefully I will be able to post the pictures and more information.

Well work has been pretty steady today and I am getting ready to head to lunch with my mom, so I better get going.

Have a great day! Smile

 

 

Lots Of Fun Stuff Coming Up!

Tuesday, 13 April 2010 08:32 by Nikki

I know it has been awhile since I have last updated my blog, but I have been busy with all kinds of fun and exciting things.

This past weekend we went to a place called Sand Rocks here in Alabama and went rock climbing, hiking, and got to play with one of my dogs a lot. It was a lot of fun, and extremely warm and sunny, which was nice. I think the high last Saturday was 75 degrees and then Sunday was low 80s. This week is not supposed to be low 70s or higher. I just love the warm weather! Smile

This coming weekend, there are a bunch of us ladies from my church going to a HUGE flea market a little less than an hour away. I think it will be a lot of fun, especially with the people that are going!

At the end of the month/beginning of May (April 30th/May 1st), my husband and I are meeting my dad and his family at Six Flags in Illinois. The drive for us and them is a little over six hours, which wont be too bad. We are going Friday afternoon and then meeting them at the hotel. We will spend all day Saturday at the theme park and then get up on Sunday and eat breakfast somewhere and head back home in time to be at work on Monday morning. It is going to be a ton of fun! Smile

Well, work is pretty steady today, so I better get back to it.

Have a great day! Smile
