cracked brain

So here's the story first handed about my broken head:
I was standing in the back of a truck and the driver didn't know I hadn't sat down yet, so they gassed the truck and I FLEW out the back hitting head first on to the pavement. I know that sounds intense, and well it was. I repeatedly said "I dont want to go to the hospital" but all my friends insisted that I should. They asked me if I was bleeding anywhere, I said no, but it turns out i was. I busted open the back of my head so to the hospital we went. I honestly can't remember much after that. All I know is that my friends are amazing and took such good care of me when we were checking into the hospital and continued to take care of me. My parents came to the hospital, they arrived about 45 minutes after I called them ( note: Graham is an hour and a half away). You should not look at the next pictures if you have a weak stomach....

that is my precious parents trying to keep me awake.. fail. 


so here is my end diagnosis: I have a dislocated jaw, bruised kidney, I got my head stapled back together, and a very serious concussion. Unfortunately I had to be rushed back to the ER the next day because I was throwing up and not responding well to medicine, but I think it's finally all fixed now. I can't sleep longer than 3 hours without having someone wake me up to make sure I can wake up. The only time I cried though was when I thought they were going to have to shave my head to put the staples in. Luckily they did not. Its been quite the adventure! An adventure I will not be sad to see come to an end. But everyone has been so so sweet and caring to me. Especially my Siggie sisters! I'm so thankful for the people God has surrounded me with here at ACU. I go back to the hospital in a week to get my staples out and I'm dreading it...... Until then if you see me walking sideways on campus or starring into space, please come help. :)

single awareness day

happy valentits day indeed. (I can't wait to be an elementary teacher)


I actually do love valentines day. I think that its wonderful to watch everyone receive flowers and cards (and stuffed animals if you're lame) all day long. It also has given me numerous excuses to eat obscene amounts of chocolate. I'm reading this book called Crazy Love and it talks about how amazing God's love is for us it was really refreshing to read on this day. 




On another note, this week is sing song week. I am not in sing song this year I'm just a prop, the rooster to be exact so keep a look out, so my schedule actually isn't really hectic and crazy. But my love goes out to those who are busy! SIGGIE PIGGIES FOR LIFE.

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL BEST FRIEND REBEKAH KAY JOSEFY on saturday! I wish more than anything I could be with you! i miss you, the lake, and summer an overwhelming amount. 

a case of the holiday "stupids"

So here I am with a blog, and I owe it all to my sister-in-law who is a genius blogger and has been blogging for years. Her witty words will be far superior to mine but, oh well. I have no high hopes that anyone besides my family will read this anyways. 

This holiday break has been extremely long. 5 weeks of my brain not being challenged at all to have a creative thought has given me a case of, as my mom so lovingly puts it, the "stupids". Now the "stupids" can be a combination of different kinds of brain farts but overall it is making stupid decisions over and over again. Saying things out loud that you should of internalized, leaving your car running for hours on accident, etc. I can only hope it will be cured once I get back to school but so far no signs of recovery. 


My first example of the "stupids" is me trying to name this blog. Hoping for advice, I asked my mom what would be a good name for it. She said, with all seriousness, "name it 'Jesus freak'." ..... I should've known better.


Another example is me getting my hair dyed yesterday. Now this, for me, is always a bad choice. Why do I continue to do it? It seemed really necessary this time since I was a lifeguard this past summer and my hair got really blonde. Well summer ended and thus began the dreaded roots. I'm proud and ashamed to say that my roots were almost 2 inches long when I went into the salon yesterday to have them terminated. My hair stylist looked at me like I was on fire when she first saw the damage on my head. So I simply asked to make it look natural. Oh, but that is never the case now is it. She then began to tell me what would really look best on me; some dark brown, golden blonde, and copper (red) tones. Me, being the people pleaser I am, said SURE! times like this I wish I would of had my sister-in-law or a collection of best friends with me there to say NO ELIZABETH! this is a bad idea! ... so surprise ACU, I'm actually not a new exchange student when you all see me in a few days.

 Reminiscing to a time when I made an Uh-Oh dying Bekah's hair. :)

Although my examples could go on and on I'll end on this one. The other day I was saying a prayer in front of a whole bunch of people and I ended it by saying "and um.. yeah." not amen. not in Jesus' name. but an "and um.. yeah." I blame it on the "stupids".

But on a more serious note, I'm sure everyone has heard about one of my very best friends Jocelyn Groves. She had surgery and is now in recovery but still needs a lot of prayers. This girl is amazing, strong, and most importantly hilarious. Love you Jocie!
