sooooo.......this week my sis and i had to house set for my aunt....she has this huge house and its kinda dark so some fun stuff is bound to happen!! Joanna (my sis) and i are sittin on the couch one evening around say 8sh.....she had to use the bathroom so she got up and in like 5 sec she was back.....i was like ok that was fast.....she sat down beside me with this totaly blank stare......i was like whats goin on? are you ok? "you don't hear that?" she said.......nope i didnt......listen some more still nothing......turn off the tv to listen.....still nothing.....then there it was....this noise coming from upstairs.....(gosh i wish you could hear the sound but ya cant so i'll just explain it!) it sounded like a remote control car....driving all over the place upstairs......the sound was awful....we could hear it running into the wall wheels burning then backing up and doing it again! so being the brave people that we are we held hands and walked to the bottom of the stairs.....the sound stops.....we are practically huging each other from fright......the sound starts again.....so being the practical person that i am i was like "joanna, its got to be a drill or something outside." open the door the sound stops again....weird.....then all of the sudden it starts again and there was no mistaking it was inside....we ran out of that house at the speed of lightning......forgot my keys had to run back in.....ran out again took off and was shaking for about an hour after!! later that night we brough joanna's boyfriend back to see what it was but we totaly did not go inside.....creepy!! (wow reading back i realize this is really long and for that i'm really sorry so let me end this!!) so my aunt calls the next day to let me know what time she will be home and come to find out it was her automatic kitty litter box!! of all the scary things! hahahaha

God it so amazing......He is teaching me SOOO much....i feel like i have not grown this much ever! i cant wait to get up in the morning to read my Bible! i just cant get enough of Him! this year has been by far the toughest year i can ever remember but i know He is using all these hard times to mold me into that person He wants me to be and its been tough as anything to go through it but i also cant wait to see what He has in my future! I LOVE JESUS SO MUCH!! haha! well i can hardly keep my eyes openso its bedtime for me love ya'll!!

What a hot day! I just came inside from mowing the yard......can i just say that mowing is the worse job ever! I hate it more than anything in the world! My dad has a resort here in Branson with 19 cabins, about 10 acres and yep it is me that always gets the job of mowing it!! Anyhow enough complaining!! I had a great 4 of July! My family had a BBQ then set off fireworks, totaly fun! Then we went down to our dock to watch more on the lake......all in all a very good day! Well I need to get ready for work so see ya'll later! God is SOOOOOO good!!! Love ya'll            Leah

had some strang times at work yesterday........first had tons of people offer me jobs.......then on my way out of the parking lot i had this guy stop me and ask if i could take him to his house (he's car broke down)...well i didnt take him and felt really bad about it but i was alone in my car without my cell so didnt think it would be that safe!! And its official.......people still think i'm 16 years old!! haha! makes me laugh! i had about three people come over and ask if i was old enough to work!! and this kid came over and asked me out, he couldnt have been older than 16!!! hahaha.....thats all i'm ever gonna get!!  all in all its been a really good week so far! have a good one!! God bless!
