Crazy Girl

Lately, it seems like I have been a "crazy girl." Things have not been going so hot with the house I am supposed to purchase. Unfortunantly, it did not get a great inspection. I've just been a tad bit confused on what I am supposed to do. I thought this was God's plan for me. Maybe it was just my plan and I wanted God to tag along with it. Anyways, after much deliberation I decided to take a mental health day Friday or in school terms a day without pay. I packed up my bags and ran away...to Myrtle Beach. Lucky for me, my second family (the Nifong's) were already down there. Stephen and I hit the road Thursday afternoon. As we were driving down the road the song "crazy girl" by the Eli Young Band came on. I announced that I felt like a crazy girl and told Stephen that I had a lot of praying and searching to do. Stephen held my hand after I prayed and sang me "crazy girl." However, he didn't make me feel crazy, he made me feel very loved.

"I wouldn't last a single day. I'd probably just fade away. Without you I'd lose my mind. Before you ever came along, I was living life all wrong. The smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine. Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you? I wouldn't dream of going nowhere. Silly woman, come here let me hold you. Have I told you lately I love you like crazy, girl? Like crazy, girl!!"

I managed to get a few pics from our runaway weekend:

Buying Shrimp on the border. We happend to be in NC in these pics.

I walked into the room and found Addie watching tv. Check out her seat. LOL

Play time with uncle Stephen. I just realized I don't have any pics of Maddox.

These two were very tired. I found them in the corner at Bass Pro. One might be asleep.
