My birthday is in like.. 8 days? That's weird. I'll be 22. I never thought this would be my life at 22. Very strange. I'm not excited about getting older. I still think I'm 18 most of the time. But I am going shooting for my birthday. And then I'm having a party on Feb 9th (yes, my OWN party! i won't have to share it with anyone!) It will be a 50's themed party at Emily's house. So dress up and be ready for some fun games!
I'm on my 17th day of fasting (and my 7th day of liquids only). I do okay with it most of the time. But when I'm in a hurry or really hungry I get upset cause it'd be so easy to just grab something instead of cooking soup or making a smoothie. But other than that, I'm doing okay with it. I have a 5PM prayer slot at the church, so I've been going to that everyday and then we have corporate prayer at 7. Just for the month of January. It's been really good.
I'm having strange allergies right now. They started in the middle of the night last night. My eyes were all puffy and I've been coughing ever since. I'm not really sure what I could be allergic to. Maybe I need to bathe my dog or something.
It looks like October will be the month I move back to Alabama. I have mixed feelings. I really love Hurst. It's small and familiar. I'm less than 2 miles from the church and everything is so close by. I never need to leave the city - but I do, obviously. I'm going to miss everyone here so bad. It seems like I've been here my whole life. But I also miss my family really bad. I always wonder how things will be when I get back. Not just with my family, but with everything. Adapting back into Birmingham will be strange, for sure.
what else....what else
I am determined to get my house in order. It's a mess! I have no motivation to do anything. I'll do it half way and give up. I just have way too much stuff.
I'm losing weight with the fast, so that's cool. I'd like to keep it off - but I'd also like to down about 10 pizza's right now. And my hair is getting long. Long and blonde. Hopefully I can stick with it and grow it out. Last time I didn't get this far before I shaved it back into a mohawk and dyed it red (which was a bad idea).
I got new tattoo on my forearm. It's big and unfinished.
Yes, the picture is upside down. It says "Faithful" at the top and "Revelation 2:10" at the bottom. Faithful because my name means faithful, but also because Revelation 2:10 says "If you are faithful, even to the point of death, I will give you the crown of life." It's in an odd spot on my arm, so it was hard to take a picture.
I really can't think of anything else to write about...except that Zoe will be NINE this month. It's insane. I can't really comprehend it. It doesn't seem like it was 9 years ago that I was being splashed with amniotic fluid and umbilical blood. It was a very beautiful, and very bloody, mess. Best day of my life so far. Of course, the doctor did say he has never seen more shades of white (I suppose I get a little queezy at the site of blood and the thought of THAT coming out of THERE).
So, now that I have grossed everyone out (seems to be popular in our family) - I'm heading to bed.

I can't believe it was 9 years ago either... it was a big mess, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
