New Years Eve

Hey everyone have a fun but safe New Years eve. Be smart and make good decisions.

Oh what a night

ok so the Independence Bowl started strongly in my favor. Wilson and the offense came out ON FIRE!!! Come to think of it the DEFENSE was ON FIRE too. We were up 27-0 in the 2nd Quarter. That lead quickly changed 27-7 when Wilson thew an interception and momentum swung Colorado's way. We got the ball back and then fumbled and the lead was 27-14 at half. You get the point. BAMA didn't score again till the 4th quarter and the only points they got was a field goal. Even though it turned out ugly BAMA managed to win 30-26. Then theres my TITANS and it was ugly for them too but they won 16-10 and get to play in the playoffs. Way to go BAMA and TITANS!!!!!!!

TITANS/BAMA

Ok so tomarrow night is a BIG night!!!! The TITANS play COLTS and if we win we get 2 play in the playoffs. Because its such a BIG game they have moved it to the evening time. Well my TIDE plays 2marrow night as well. I'll watch a little bit of the TITANS and once the CRIMSON TIDE is on I'll be watching that. When Bama game is in commercial or half time i'll go back to the TITANS game. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!! GO TITANS GO!!!!!

Independence Bowl Weekend

A Visit to the Oatsvalls

This is sweet Maggie Tara Chang that arrived home on Nov 18th. Last night I went to visit the Oatsvalls for the first time since she had been home. I was a little nervous cause I didn't want her to throw a fit because I was there and she didn't know me. I went to take a Christmas present to J, Elijah, Emily and Maggie. I gave them HSM sing it. I was sooo excited when I got such a good reaction from them. We played it for a little while. Ok now back to Maggie. She did really well with me there. At one point she was standing on J's bed and held her arms outwanting me to hold her. I picked her up and carried her to see her daddy and said "Look who let me hold her" He looked and said"Wow she hasn't done that before". I was so excited that she was letting me show her some love the way the other 3 let me love on them. I love these kids they are the GREATEST!! J, Elijah,Emily and Maggie I love ya'll and Merry Christmas.

My boy Grant

This is one of my boys. He is half way through his first year in Elementary school. I babysat him and his sister in Saturday night. They are so much fun to babysit and they are good kids. As you can see this is Grant and I being goofy. This family is from Alabama. Yes like me they are Alabama fans. Grant started being silly and saying boo Alabama go LSU. I am cheering for LSU in the National Championship team cause LSU is my 2nd fav team. 2nd to my boys from Tuscaloosa Alabama. Grant is a great kid. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Independence Bowl BOUND!!!

Alright Bama is going to the Independence Bowl again this year. I am excited about that cause I'm getting to go. It will be my 3rd Bama game to go to this year. I haven't ever been to see them play in a bowl game. ROLL TIDE ROLL !!! Beat Colorado!!!

Its OFFICAL!!!!

Its OFFICAL!!! As of yesterday I am going to Germany for 2 weeks in a few months. I am even more excited now because I have my tickets and I know I'm gonna get to go for sure. Hopefully I'll be able to keep everyone updated while I'm there.

I offically hate Volks Wagon Cars

Ok so I have decided I hate volks wagon cars. I have a Jetta and its a cute car but it has costed me more money to fix and its driving me bananas spending my hard earned and saved money to get the stupid car fixed. Today I was on the way to work and all the lights came on at once. My battery, ABS, airbag,and brake light. so I made it to work. I called my mom and she called my dad. Later this morning my Bro and mom came to get the car. She made it 2 mi before it wouldn't go anymore. It had to be towed all the way to Franklin passed the old BGA to get it fixed. We found out its the alternator. Of course it would have to do this on me now. I have saved my money and about to buy tickets to Germany (after I get my next paycheck) and this happens. I told my mom I found tickets to Germany for less than 600 dollars. She said well that is a good deal and if you don't get them now the price will go up. She said that they would pay for my car so that I can buy my tickets to Germany and then I'll start paying them back. I LOVE my MOM and DADDY. NEVER GET A GERMAN MADE CAR!!!! THEY ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO FIX!!!

Plans for Germany

Ok I know this is several months early but I'm super excited about it.
I will be buying my tickets for my vacation to Germany this weekend after I get my paycheck. I'm not going till the end of Feb. I'm going for 2 weeks. Hopefully I'm going to get a laptop for Christmas(thats the only thing I want) so i can download my pics while i'm there and keep you all update about where and what i'm doing if not every day at least every other day. People make the comment of how i always have to be going somewhere. I'm not a homebody. I haven't been someone who likes to stay home ever since I went to college in Texas. I had to grow up a lot being so far from home and now I like to go on adventures with people other than my mom and dad(ex. friends or by myself).Its a good time in my life to exprience God's beauty outside AMERICA. I'm not in school and I'm not married so why not see more of what our AMAZING God created while I can. I am going to Germany to see a good college friend, her husband, and their new baby boy. I'll get to go to places like Switzerland, Paris, and London. I put pictures up here and tell you about each place. I'll be over there on my Birthday. Yes I get to spend my 25th b-day in a foreign country. I'm SUPER EXCITED!!!!

Happy Turkey Day

I hope you all have had a Wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I have a lot to be thankful for. My brother came home from NC and my older one came by. We had a nice Thanksgiving lunch and now I'm going to babysit 2 great kids while their mom and dad go to the Predators game. Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I love you

Trust Him

The only survior of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, unihabited island. He prayed fervishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements,and to stre his few possesions. But then one day, after scavanging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happed;everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a shipthst was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?"asked the weary man of his rescuers"We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart because God is at work in in our lives,even in the mist of pain and suffering.
Remeber, the next time your little hut is burning to the gound-it just may be a smoke signalthat summons the grace of God.

For all the negative things we have to sayto ourselves, God has a posative answerfor it.
You say: "It's Impossible" God says: All things are possible(Luke 18:27)
you say:"I'm to tired" God says: I will give you rest(Matt 11:28-20)
you say:"Nobody really loves me" God says: I love you(John 3:16& John 13:34)
You say: "I can't go on" God says: My grace is sufficient(2 Cor 12:9)
You say: "I am afraid". God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear(Tim 1:7)
You say: "I feel all alone". God says: I will never leave you or forsake you(Heb 13:5)

He is in Love with you

He created you in his image
He is always with you
He is in love with you

Struggles in your life are
there to strengthen your faith
He doesn't give you anything you can't handle

He is there to help you
He delivers you in times of need
He is in love with you

He is full of compassion
He is a Gracious God
He protects you from harm
He waits for you patiently
He is in love with you

Any weapon formed against you
Will not prosper. No one can stand
against you. He is for you
He is in love with you.

My 2nd Family

First I would like to say this is an AWESOME!!! family. The 4 kids: Jeremiah, Elijah, Emily, and their new addition Maggie Tara Chang are WONDERFUL kids. They have a GREAT mom and dad. I love this family to death. They have been a WONDERFUL blessing to me. I have several fond memories with this family. The first one I'm going to tell you about is the night Jeremiah and Emily told me that they loved me. I had gone over to their house to see Mrs Oatsvall before she left to go get Maggie. Coach O was installing web cam on the computers to talk to Mrs Oastvall and Maggie while in China. It was time for them to go to bed. Jeremiah came and gave me a hug and said,"I love you Staci and goodnight" Emily was taking a bath so I went in to say bye. As I was leaving I said, " I love you Emily" and then she said, " I love you too Staci". Jeremiah and Emily told me that they love me in the same night. I went home with a heart FULL of excitement. I look forward to the day that I get I love you from Elijah and Maggie. Some more memories that I have involve going to the lakehouse, doing concerts.

Coach O and Mrs Oatsvall are great Christian people and have done a FABULOUS job raising their kids. As my relationship with this WONDERFUL family grows my love for them grows too. Coach O, Mrs Oatsvall, Jeremiah, Elijah, Emily and Maggie I love you BUNCHES!!!!!

P.S- Mrs. Oatsvall and Maggie I'm glad you are finally home!!!!

T- TOWN ALABAMA

These are some pics from my day in Tuscaloosa to see the BAMA/LSU game. Tuscaloosa is one of my favorite places in the USA to be ecspecially during football season. I can wear my BAMA appearal and have my flags waving on my car and not worry about it. Last season my dad and I started a tradition. We go to Tuscaloosa for certain games. We don't buy the tickets ahead of time because my dad likes to scalp them. Sitting in Bryant- Denny Stadium for my first time in 06 against Vanderbilt was AWESOME!!. I loved it. Our seats were down by the field we walked in and I was soo excited about getting to see my CRIMSON TIDE boys play for the first time in Tuscaloosa that I was like "oh daddy". There is nothing like getting to watch you favorite team play in their home stadium for the first time. There is a picture of Leigh Tiffin our field goal kicker, the BEST band in the form of a UA, lots of BAMA fans on the other side of Bryant-Denny and yes I have the good,the bad and the ugly. We haven't played the bad yet. We play them next Saturday and we KILLED the UGLY 41-17. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

Flip Flop Summer Tour

The picture on the right is my good friend Marci that i went to Cancun with and we traveled to RaleighNorth Carolina

to see Kenny Chesney in Concert.

The picture on the left is Kenny. You might have to llok close to see him. He's not very big. Marci and I had so much fun. It wa as hot as it was in Cancun so we felt like it was anyway. He opened the show up with his song Beer in Mexico and showed Cancun on the map. That made us want to go back even more. If you have never seen him in concert I would suggest you go cause he is a really good entertainer. He did win entertainer of the year at the CMAs for the 3rd year in a row.

He will Rescue You

When you feel like your in
a pit and you can't get out
He will rescue you.

When things get tough and you
feel like you can't fight anymore
He will rescue you.

His mercy comes down
He wraps his loving arms around you

He makes your dark days
into brighter ones
He is there faithful and alive
He will rescue you.

Our AMAZING God

God has an unfailing love for you. No matter what you do he is never going to love you less. he is with you where ever you go. He is with through the good times. He picks you up and helps you through the bad times. He will wait on you to callhim no matter how long it takes because he loves you and he is your friend. All he wants from you is to love him,call him, depend on him, spread his love to everyone and be more like Jesus every day.In his eyes everyone is equal. No one is worthless or a mistake. He made you and he loves you the way you are.
I read this my Junior year of high school and it was a BIG encouragement to me. Let me just give you a little back ground of my middle school and highschool years. To be honest I was MISERABLE at the school I went to. Overall its a great school but I got treated like crap. People that I graduated with were so MEAN to me. The first thing is I graduated with 70 people and out of those 70 there are about 10 people I would call my friends. the other 60 were JERKS!! They treated me like I was a worthless mistake. My 6th grade year to my Sophmore year I held it in and everyone thought I was the happiest person when on the inside I was hurting. My sophmore year it started to come out. I started saying that I was a worthless mistake and I eventually convinced myself that I was. I had also convinced myself that no one would miss me if I wasn't around anymore and I started having thoughts and trying to do something (No I DID NOT DO DRUGS!!!) Obviously I was unsuccessfull at what I tried to do (i'm glad i didn't suceed NOW). My Junior year I read the words that are in blue over and over and talked to some of my older friends about it and got encouraged. I finally realized that I'm not a worthless mistake. When I realized that I wasn't a worthless mistake I started asking God why I was unsucessful in what i tred to do. The answer to that came to me my Freshman year of college @ ACU. What a wonderful place to be ACU was a major blessing in my life.
P S: If you want to know more in detail feel free to ask me.

Gene Stallings Weekend

This is Legendary Coach Gene Stallings. He is a former coach of the ALABAMA Crimson Tide. He was a GREAT! coach to. He holds BAMA's last championship so far but Saban(coach right now) is bringing back the glory days of BAMA Football. Gene Stalling is one of the most down to earth, classy and a great Christian guy. I always had a lot of respect for him and after meeting him I understand why. One of my dad's friends growing up gave me an ALABAMA football with his autograph on it and I will cherish it for a long time.

My favorite little boy at Holly Tree

This is James. I Love this kid. He was my favorite little boy in my class @ Holly Tree. Every morning when I got there and took them from the Pre-k class to my class he would always ask me to put High School Musical on. He is a good kid. I love him and miss him a TON!!!

These are some pictures from Cancun Mexico this Summer. I had a Wonderful time. We won't get into details cause what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico.
