This will most likely be my last post for a little while.
Tomorrow will be my first plane ride! And Brea's, too!
I'm really excited, but stressed. These past few days have been crazy stressful!
I'm going between super excited to see Melinda again and be there at her wedding, and then sad because I've never been away from Andy for so long. :( I know, 5 days doesn't seem long, but it's still hard to imagine!

But then Andy will be driving up to Kentucky the same time that Melinda, Scott, and I will be driving down from Massachusetts.. a 16 hour drive! phew!

Then we'll be there with momma and daddy, and Brandy is going to be there too! We're all going to get a HUGE family picture taken on Thanksgiving that we're going to print out and have here at our place and hopefully everyone else will too! ;)

So far day wise I think the main things we have planned would go like this..
Monday: We all arrive at momma and daddy's!

Wed: Brandy rolls in from IN!
Thurs: Thanksgiving!
Friday: Black Friday shopping! wow! Probably leaving Brea home with her daddy and Peepaw in case we're trampled.. ;)
Sat: Brea's first birthday party!! It's going to be so fun!
Sun: Visit Andy's family up in IN in the morning and hang out with his uncle for a while, hopefully, then drop by Charlestown Rd, and afterwards hang out with Brandy for a little while until we have to get home!
Monday: leave at the crack of dawn back for GA. :(

The week is going to go so fast!

I am getting off the bed now for my 4 hours of sleep.

Leave messages for me!!
(and pray for safe traveling please!)
eehiabehiaBe safe and have fun! 
fireboltwow...be safe and have lots of fun!!! :) 
singforjoyPraying for a safe flight, fun time, and safe returns!!! 
onelittlecandleWill do! Have a wonderful time! 
Arwen_UndomielWow girl! Tell your sister congrats! Please be careful. Specially on Black Friday! It gets crazy!!

And a very early Happy 1st Birthday to that sweet little Brea!

Love you girl! GRITS!! 
buckarooAwww First Birthday!!! On my first Birthday my mom baked me a small cake with lots of colorful iceing and a huge candle in the middle of the cook for good cute taping I reckon and taped me eating my first cake and taped all the iceing I put all over me... 
buckaroo*cake 
blessings_of_a_momEnjoy your first plane ride. I hope neither of you get air sick. 
crystalizedHave fun!! 
be_with_me_lordHave a great time! 
princess_laughterenjot the plane trip and at least its only 5 days. my mom, siblings and i had to go without my dad in the house for 3 or 4 months and we only got to see him twice (mom 4x) for a few days it was pretty bad for my mom 
mommarnHave fun! We'll be praying for you all.

Goodbye... 11-04-08 11:45pm EST
to the America we know now.

All that's left to do is pray and remember God is always in our future.

be_with_me_lordSad 
dominicI'll be surprised if that gets passed, even with such a Democratic majority in the Senate. 
field_mouseReally I'm not trying to start anything by this; it's just a comment, but...
I'm actually surprised to see that question posed. If millions of innocent lives aren't something...I don't know what is. Not that abortion would have ended had we had McCain or another president been appointed other than Obama, but the more gruesome forms (partial birth, for ex.) would still be illegal. Obama has openly stated the first thing he plans to do is sign the Free Choice Act, lifting the ban on Partial Birth. To me, that's more than enough one evil man can do in a lifetime, let alone four years. 
dominicRemember, a significant amount of Democrats supported the Partial Birth abortion ban. 
dominicNot to mention the unnecessary killing McCain would very likely have instigated with his "bomb, bomb, Iran" attitude. 
field_mouseI just can't wait to see how Obama plans to end the war (sarcasm). 
dominicHannah, have you even read the Freedom of Choice act? The only case of abortion after viability that is allowed is in the case of the Mother's health being in danger. That doesn't sound terribly different to me than McCain's own position on the matter. 
dominicIts not so much about ending this failed war, its more about attitude toward future foreign policy. 
dominicMy point here isn't to argue for Obama. It's just to make the point that people are grossly overreacting. 
field_mouseyeah, and I'm sure "mother's health" could be stretched to quite a few things. Even McCain said the whole "Mother's Health" thing was bound to get stretched too far to mean pretty much anything. What health? Mental? Emotional? Physical? in danger of death? Seems to be too many loopholes to me, and still not act worth disregarding. 
dominicAh... the slippery slope fallacy. How unsurprising that should come up in a debate about moral issues. 
field_mouseI suppose it isn't worth arguing anymore, and I'm really not trying to argue. :P I still don't like the idea of the Free Choice Act among others...I'm really hoping his health plan doesn't go anywhere. But we shall see. 
dominicI agree abortion is horrible. I agree that Obama has a woefully wicked position on abortion. I'm just not sure that morally, he's that much worse than the warmongering, ambivalent to abortion, and adulterous McCain. 
dominicI agree with you about his health plan. ;) 
field_mousethe coal industry stuff really gets me, too. :P But I think I'm biased in that respect. ;) 
dominicIn all honestly I don't know anything about that. My guess is it has to do with regulation relative to global warming. Basically, if it involves the government getting involved in the market, I oppose it. So I probably agree with you on that, too. 
field_mousemy understanding is that he would tax it to the point of bankruptcy. Well, if that is the case...states like WV and PA and others with coal mines that supply a major portion of the state's employment will suffer tremendously. Our unemployment rate is high enough without more "help" from the federal government. 
field_mouseAnd you're right, I believe he's basing it off an environmentalist perspective. 
dominicThat's what I figured. Honestly, in economic matters I did prefer McCain (though I still had reseverations about his fiscal conservatism, he was clearly better than Obama). I just didn't think that was important enough that I'd compromise my moral principles by voting for him, especially in light of the fact that MN was undoubtedly going to Obama anyway. 
dolphin_lover I just wonder how much more God is going to be willing to take with America and the way it is going, especially now that Obama is next in line to be president.....I am scared. *hugs you* 
Gods_Country_GirlAwww... You are so sweet.. :-) 
ucnclmealHi. I just happened by your blog. I would encourage you to read what he has to say about the whole election thing. If nothing else, it gives me hope, and reminds me that the Lord is in charge. 
bandgirl129I love you and thanks for talking to me! ILY muy mucho! I can't wait til tonight!;) ...lol... xoxoxo ♥evil pickle♥ 
theguitaristHi! My name is Jenifer and I'm trying to get a Young Girls Book Club started here on pleonast. I was just wondering if you would like to be an op and help me get it started.


Jenifer :)

Private again! 10-21-08 07:21pm EST
it seems I've slowly gotten out of the habit of checking my 'private entry box', so this will be the last public post I make.

I will be going totally private now so I don't have to worry about who is reading my blog, and know that everyone who is are my true and special friends. No worries about wondering if people are lurking around unawares trying to keep tabs on me for whatever reason. Say no to stalking! ;)

I'm sure everyone is on my buddy list, but just in case you're not, let me know so I can keep in touch with you!

I hope everyone is having an amazing night - a much longer and better private update is coming soon!

I love you all!!
jenlew21I'm private too! :) I still wanna be on your friends list! :D

texasboyIts fine...I'm just tired of people not commenting on stuff about Aftershock or me and then all of sudden wanna talk to me when it comes to politics.

No further detail is being released. Hopefully some information will be released next month. 
fireboltYeah, I'm watching all the stuff, trying to keep up with the news. It's scary!!! 
jenlew21Heh, I didn't knwo that about McCain, too bad he wasn't actually willing to do something over it, or maybe he will eventually who knows. :)
Hope you're having a good one! :) 
princessgirlie25haha i know i dont have to ask you to add me so! :)
