Today (Tuesday) was probably my favorite day so far. Because i had the chance to go fishing(: I was up early like usual getting everything together. I love that place so much. As i was walking towards the end of the dock,i felt the rays of sun on my skin and just smiled. As i looked up, i envisioned my dad sitting there in his wheelchair with his baby blue umbrella and fishing hat. It made me happy to think about. I was there for a little while but nothing seemed to slow the wind down so i came in about an hour before i was planning too. While packing up, i layed my pole down on the fence still in the water and put everything together. I went to go reel in my hook when all of a sudden, it felt stuck. I thought to myself, oh great so i started jerking it around a little to see if i could get it loose. Then it became easier to get. Then i noticed, i had something on my line. But i had absolutely NO idea what it was. It appeared to look almost like a baby alligator which made me stand in shock at what to do. It was still halfway in the water and i was just looking at it. Then i noticed the rush of kids running down the dock to see what it would be. They started yelling; it's a salamander! And taking a bunch of pictures. I just stared at it freaked out because it looked so gross. So i started reeling it in slowly and when it was about 2 feet higher i noticed something that changed everything. This "mud puppy" i later discovered it was called, was about a foot long, had a tail and four short legs, and it also; had teeth. Seeing the teeth made my decision clear, i was not going to reel this thing in any more. Against the want of the kids, i took my dads pocket knife and cut the line letting it splash back into the water. I don't regret my decision at all lol. It was long, slimy and IT HAD TEETH!!! Hahahaha, the teeth alone were enough for me! I did luckily get a picture of it, which i will most certainly post below(: When i solved that catastrophe i ended up discovering it was a "mud puppy" Pretty much an over grown Salamander, that lived in the water. It had paws and was capable of living on land, but they don't they are bottom feeders.
After, i came over to my cousins to spend time with them because their mom; Nicole has been doing a lot of clinical and no one was able to watch the kids. So i'm pretty much here for the rest of break, well at least at nights and early mornings. I love spending time with Rylee (:
And spending time with her just puts me in a good mood.
Easter.... most people know it's one of my favorite holidays simply because of the message. This Easter was weird though because i woke up thinking about where i was a year ago in my religion and where i am now. The place i am in right now, is like a ledge. Don't get me wrong, i believe in God still, but i just don't get why i'm put in the trials i have been through sometimes. Before this year, i would have sucked up the pain and tried my best to turn in over to God. All my pain, tears and hurt. I would have prayed for everything imaginable, for the people who hurt me, and people i didn't know. Now.... the last time i prayed was before my ACT, and it wasn't even a real prayer. It was more of a bargain. I remember telling myself that if God got me through the test with a score that i needed, i would do everything possible to get re-involved with church. Well, that didn't happen, either of those. The last time i actually opened up my Bible, well i can't even remember to be honest. I can though, remember the last time i felt God was trying to connect to me through a message at church, or a song. And it was Easter Sunday. It's the first time i've cried during one of our songs in a really long time. It felt nice, but at the same time, i was confused on how i could be touched by a song when i hadn't been a good Christian, let alone a good person recently.
I've been finding myself re-watching things on Vimeo, that involve out church. It makes my heart ache but sometimes it makes me feel better. I like watching our most recent baptism video. Because i remeber that feeling, of being submerged in the water and being lifted out. It was one of the proudest moments in my life, and i love watching the video to see people that go to my church endure the same feeling. We were also introduced to a new promotion video for our church on Easter, i love this video also, so i decided to post the link to them both below.
I ended up working on Easter after church and it was probably the funniest day at work in my life because we literally had no cars.
I actually fell asleep while writing all of that, and it's Wednesday night now, and i just got off of work. Rylee's snuggled up right next to me watching one of her movies and every things perfect right now. This is what i'm going to miss about spring break, is Rylee. I've spent so much time with her, and i don't want to leave. She may wake me up at 7:30, and keep me up until midnight playing either Barbies or Just Dance, but i love every second of it<3
This week, has been really great. Monday, i was working and i saw this older lady that i've seen quite a few times. I've talked to some people about her, because she reminds me of my grandma. My grandma was 16 when she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. For people who don't understand what it does to you, it pretty much deforms your body. Her fingers were going every which way, and her legs were narrow and her back crooked. This lady was very similar. She lives at the drug infested apartments on the corner of 23 mile and Gratiot, right next to where i work. I see this lady leave her home, and about an hour later return with a bag from Arbys, White Castle or another fast food restaurant on our block. She occasionally comes into Bk to get something also. Monday i was having a really bad day, and i was sad and frustrated at the same time. I saw her leave her house and head towards White Castle which is right next to us. Business was slow and i went to the front cash register to buy a $25 gift card for Burger King, i then asked my manager Sandys permission to run it out to her when i saw her. She was confused at first but told me i could, so when i saw her even though i was a little nervous i walked slowly towards her introducing myself at first so she wasn't frightened and gave it to her, and her shocked look on her face, and sweet response made my day end so much better. It's the littlest things i've noticed that cane change the outcome of my day(:
I'm especially excited for Friday. It's as my friends and i have been calling it "S day". It's the day that my best friends little sister goes in for surgery. And it's going to be a day filled of things for us and a few other friends to do together. It's starting at 10:40 am we're all going to see "Spring breakers" at the movie and then going to PF Chang's for lunch, followed by shopping at Partridge Creek. I have to be at work at 5, so she's going to stay at P Creek with some friends and then at 10:30 when i get off work, i'm going to spend the night at her house! It's one of the things i've been looking forward to most because we've been getting a scavenger hunt ready. It's going to be nice to distract her from everything while at the same time i really hope Abbys surgery will be going well. When Abby was first born, 12 years ago they didn't think anything was wrong with her and then they started noticing things and they discovered the left hemisphere of her brain had not formed. Leaving her unable to actually walk, talk and do most things girls her age could do. She's the sweetest little thing and i love going over there when Sarahs watching her because we always put her in her wheelchair sitting up so she can laugh at how bad we are when we play Just Dance.
So far, it's been a really good week, and in some sort i miss school, but i'm in no rush to go back. I like being able to spend this time away with no homework, and no extra stress!
