Hmm.. SPRING BREAK!!! So Karen was here with me for some of it. Today we went to Baltimore and walked around. Kinda chilled in Barnes and Noble and then went on board a lot of the ships there. On the TARNES (coast guard ship from pearl harbor) a guy from the NTSB was saying how they still haven't found the bodies from the water taxi that flipped in the Inner Harbor on Saturday. Sketchy. So then we came home just in time to go off to TGIFriday's with my parents. Haha, they drilled her on Africa with 1,000's of questions. It was kinda funny to watch that. I'm so glad she came and got to see the real me. It's kinda different from the Charleston me! My dogs liked her too which was fun!

However, today ended on a different note. Josiah called about when to come get her, and ended up convincing her that he should come tonight. So, of course, she did what he wanted. It was like 11 and I was in PJs and it was just kinda rude and insensitive. So I'm upset, yeah, and frustrated. Kinda feel shafted. Irritated. But I am praying that God will take this anger and hurt I am feeling and get rid of it. Because anger can do nothing but harm. While she was upstairs packing, I just sat downstairs and talked to Nan who helped point me to the Lord. So I just prayed to Him, seeking His advice. He was completely with me when I went up to her to talk... Because everything I said was not something I would have normally said. I told her I was angry and that I hope its not unrepairable anger. Also that I would do this for her because she is my friend and its what she wanted. Finally, that she cant be mad at him (like she said she was) because ultimately, it was her who made the decision to allow him to come. So, continual prayer for this friendship would be much appreciated since it is one that I want to keep growing. I love her, you know, and she was upset about how she abruptly left me when we drove up to meet Josiah and was confused about how to handle that relationship. So hopefully she can just figure out what she wants to do with herself and that God will just use me in anyway needed to be whatever she needs me to be!!

So this is a long entry, sue me! I have a lot to say! :) Mom let me drive the Z3 CONVERTIBLE ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!! SO MUCH FUN! I get to drive it again tomorrow bc it needs to have its belts checked, but who cares the reason, I GET TO DRIVE THE SPORTS CAR!!!!!! Did anyone notice that the mints from TGIFridays have funny sayings on them? Like: "Your friends will thank you for this" "don't drop me outside. I have being run over" and "Yukon I could have ended up on a pillow" That seems to me to be just the oddest/funniest thing ever!! haha makes me laugh. Well time for bed. til next time...
