jello

well, theses last few fays have been kind of amazing.

tuesday:
we worked till lunch then went over to the printers. it was so awesome to see all these things being printed! oh my word. i really have to add pictures this time.
after we went there, we went over to walmart and big lots. i got a vitamin water at walmart. they were one dollar! i havent seen them that cheap. it made me kind of happy=D and we played jello the whole ride home. which is amazing here, since we live out in the country, so the road are really curvey.
psalmody, amanda, and i

the moon. it looks cooler big. but- if you click it....



wednesday:
we finised another day of work! and caught up the whole company! yesss... so we have hardly anything to do. yesterday, was the lunar ecplipse. (sp?) hannah, lisa, amanda, and psalmody and i, stood out on the balcony and watched the moon and stars disapear. so so incredable. oh my. once the sky went dark, we all went inside and played pit. it was my first time playing, and let me tell you, it has become one of my favorite games. haha! its kind of a loud game. psalmody is gonna platt braide my hair one night. i think this weekend. im excited. i had that done when i was like 8, for summer one year.

today:
the day isnt over yet. its only lunch time. but- the day has started off amazingly! i got my package from my mom. and- she is pretty much amazing! she was amazing anyway. but- you know what i mean. AND since we caught up everything yesterday, we have seriously nothing to do today. haha! no joke.

well, il add on laters i think. i have to go eat.

trick doors

creepy window of the house

me in the house

actual picture from inside the house



hey hey!

i think i decided what my favorite jobs are here in the office. i like restocking, and orders. the copmuter stuff is cool too. its pretty chill. i just decided that those were my favorite. lol!

so all ive just been in the office and hanging with all the girls and kids. its been chill. which is nice since ive been sick.

i did the scariest thing ever today! well, im sure i could have done something more scary but- you know what i mean. okay, there is an abondoned house up the street. and well, i went in it today. i didnt go alone! i went with amanda. we went in together. it was so trippy. okay, so on the outside there are two front doors. one on either side of the house. but when we went in where the living room was, there were no doors in the corners, but a door in the middle! so so weird! so there are three false doors!! in one of the pictures i took, you can see like a line where the doors would have been; the two doors, that look like they lead inside from the outside... ya. and there is no visable line on the outside, for the one in the middle of the wall on the inside. so weird! after we were done, we kinna ran out. haha! cuz we noticed a hole in the ceiling, and it was scary.

more pictures

hello all! sorry for not posting about these picturess=) i was trying to upload more, but the computer wouldnt let me. so- the pictures of me are with the other amanda. we have matching beanies that hannah made. twinners=)
then theres the picture of the office, and the little heater that heats the office. or at least heats one side of the office. haha! uless we turn it up to like 100 degrees then the heat reaches the other side... mrs campbell usually turns it down to 63, no matter what heat we have it up to. we could have it at 65 and she would still turn it down. haha!

and,then,before,after...& the mystery smell.

so ive had a pretty busy day.... this morning, i finished up the thank you letters. they had been so backed up from previous months that it took me two days and a morning to finish them. then i answered the phones for a while, taking orders and fixing accounts. after that i moved on to doing pay pal, which is online orders. so i just print them out then package and mail them. i added the orders i had done to the "book", then i started squirrel mail. which is where i print out people with three or more kids under th age of 10, OR they have requested more than one magazine, OR they have a prayer request, OR all listed previous. if they dont have any of those i just write their name on a mailing lable, slide it in with a magazine, seal it, and mail it. also if the the requests are from outta country i have to look up the above rubies head quaters there, find their email, then forward the message to them. lol! wow, thats very detailed of me....

we may go over to vanges tonight. im not sure. lol! we shall see....

i think im getting sick again... not fun. see all four of us girls sleep in one room. as you saw in the pick a few posts ago.... so when one of us gets sick, we breathe in the diseased (dont think thats a word, so i just made it one) air. so when one gets sick, it tends to circulate. yay! hannah was just sick, and before that amanda and i, before that carrie was sick... so yes im sure you get the pattern. lol! AND nrs. campbell is sick.

okay so- in the office we kept getting whiffs of some disgusting smell. we looked through the cupboard where the smell was coming from,and couldnt find anything!!! so for a week and a half we just went on dealing with the gross smell. we just couldnt figure it out! then today, the smell got stronger, someone calls out my name, and i turn around to see lisa holding a plastic bag. i look at her and then amanda says," they are sardines." rotten sardines were stinking up our office. how they got put in the supply cupbord, i have no idea.

tornadoes

last night there was a tornado. it went right through the town that i am living in. i was so freaked out! needless to say, i didnt sleep well last night. at all. a house right next to us got hit. so, we werent hit specifically. we did, however, get crazy wind, hardcore rain, and massive thunder and lightning. AND we lost power. its so sad, there are 48 reported deaths in a 60 mile radius from us.

the weather all over the place is crazy. i got on weather.com today... wow. you guys should check that out (if you already havent). yay! i hear more wind, thunder and rain.... oh my. the storm is gonna be over in this area again today, getting worse at night.

other than that, nothing is really going on. we'll just be down in the office again today. ill most likely be on weather channels on lunch break. oh ya! we might go into town for a few things... if the weather isnt too bad.

update

sorry all, the internet is not being very friendly so i cant add any more pics right now. sorry mom=( i got two more in).. ill try again later=/



me dressed up like pride and prejudice


a little house we saw on our walk

john

hey everyone!
sorry ive been lazy about posting... hehe.
pretty much just been down in the office working eveyday. lol! which is what im here for. mostly ive been writing a lot of encouragement letters. they were backed up from like months ago, so there were a lot to write.
for my birthday (yesterday) i went with my friend (the other amanda) and her mom, sister, and friend into franklin. we all went out to sushi and thai food. it was so so so so good! though. i think i need to take them one more time, to real sushi. cuz all they had was a roll with no REAL raw fish. lol! they liked that though. amanda has agreed to eat the hard core stuff=) after that we all went to the hotel they were staying at, and hung out. all we did there was watch tlc shows like 'what not to wear' and 'say yes to the dress' it was pretty cool. the following morning we went to the franklin mall. they have some GEWD stores there. it was fun! although all the girls here say that the nashville mall is better. but- im pretty satisfied with the franklin mall. its better than the santa maria mall. thats for sure. i think that any mall is better than the santa marias.

okay. scary story. this just happened like ten minutes ago. we were coming home from being in town agian. it was one of the other g irls, lisa, birthday. so we surprised her and took her out to ice cream. then we get lost on the way home for 45 minutes. no joke. in the dark too. everything looks different in the dark. after all that, we get on the road to home, and some guy is following us. literally! i know mom you migjht think that we were are being dramatic. hahahaha! but for sure. he drove past us. then we turned into the wrong drive way, so he turned around and like stopped right next to our car as we backed up. so by then we were freaked. then! he turns around and sticks his head outr the window, and just looke at us. nothing came out of his mouth. i dont think he was lost or needed directions somewhere. so i told the driver ( amanda holbrook) to not pull into our REAL driveway. so we passed it then turned around. he had turned around with us. then back around again and was just sitting there. we pulled into pearls driveway and took the long way to our house. then literally ran inside. i was hanging onto one of my shoes with my toes.... seriously. it was scary. uh! not. fun.
