These are the days.

Life is coming at me like a speeding train! i just want to slow it all down and savor every moment! recently in the life of Shelby. well last Sunday Tate (my brother) got into a car wreck, he was not injured at all but the car was :( oh well i thank God that he was okay! then that week was all kinda a daze! but like i said it flew by! then i started a fresh new week! and i don't know how much better this week could have gotten! I feel blessed way beyond what i deserve. really there was nothing too special about the beginning of the week.... well i take that back on Monday, school was pretty so so you know just same ole' same ole' but after school i went home and did nothing until 5 :) then i when back into town to pick up the siblings i wasn't too excited about it but we went to sweet home because my mommy had strength training class and all the kids sat in the jeep! fun right! well believe it or not it was VERY fun! i got to talk to my brothers and sister like i haven't done in a long time :) on the way home Tate and mom and I were talking about my grandpa and how much we missed him and we were just recalling all the memories we had with him! it was really great ( but kinda sobering). then on Tuesday i felt prepared for anything that came my way! but nope God show me that! in sixth period our teacher was finally there after four weeks of having a substitute! he was away because him mom was dieing. :( when he returned he told us a little about his trip and how he had gotten to spend so much time with his mom before she passed away! it all hit home! it was crazy i didn't think that i would have gotten upset at all maybe just a little sad but it brought back all those feeling of when my grandpa had died. i remember after my grandpa died, that Christmas i got a picture of him and i remember times when i would cry and hug that picture and cry some more! i had a hard time watching this man who is a great teacher and who is a very wise guy break down and talk about how his mother just wanted to go home... how she just wanted to see her husband again. i don't know why it got me so up set but it did. what made it all better was the boys basketball game that i got to watch on Tuesday night. even though they lost I'm still there for them and they did great in my eyes! (I'm glad none of them will read this). Wednesday um nothing to spectacular happened because i cant remember it. i do remember that i made cookies and i was at Stephanie's a lot that day but i don't know why? huh weird! then Thursday was the bestest out of EVERYTHING!! on Thursday i woke up and i was so stoked for the game that night! at school i had to finish a writing test during first and second period! that was no fun but it didn't ruin my day! third period i was asked to be a model for the fashion show at the end of the year! how cool is that! i was stoked! then fourth fifth sixth and seventh were all a blur! then after school i was unexpectedly picked up by my grandpa, i get in the truck and he tells me that mom had a flat tire on the rental car! and everything else in her day went wrong too :( poor mom! he took me to Stephanie's and we got ready there for the game!!! we went to the game and we were a little late!! but it was all good! i found some friends to go and sit with and then they announced the other team and then they announced our senior boys on the basketball team! Tate was a senior so he got to start in the game along with three other seniors! :) after they did that then the team did something i had never seem them do before the WHOLE team came over to the student section with a bouquet of tulips and LT started to go up towards the top of the stands and i ask him where he was going as he handed me the flowers! and the WHOLE team thanked me for all the cookies i had made them and for coming to their games!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) I COULD NOT STOP SMILING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT! I have a love for those boys like no other! its something you just wouldn't understand! and i got to watch my brother make the first three point of the game! :) and he was also high score of the game! :) after the game i gave all the boys hugs and told them thank you! and then to top that off! i got to go to Shari's afterwards and hang out with some pretty awesome people! then i woke up this morning and was sooo tired but was loving the idea of going to school! :) these are the days that i live for! thank you Jesus! and for now i leave you with this!
