1. Birmingham

I'm not too sure what i should write about, so I'll just tell you about my weekend. I woke up sick on Friday, so i didn't go to my two classes. However, I did manage to get better just in time to go back home with my roommate. She is from Birmingham, so that’s where our journey began. I’m such a southern girl, so being in the city will be a drastic change for me. When we got to Birmingham, our first stop was Hoover. I was so addicted to the T.V. show, Two-A-Days. The school was massive. I was like a little kid at Disney World. I was very much impressed. Birmingham is so busy, not like my little quaint town. We finally arrived at Emily Grace’s house. The first thing we did was bite into some home cooked food. It was so refreshing. We were definitely spoiled.

Saturday we slept in, which was so nice. Emily is going to take me to all the little shops that I have never heard of. We went to a place called “Plato’s closet.” I have found a new love. They sell designer clothes way cheaper than the actual store. I had never heard of it, but it was quite a discovery. After Plato’s we went to a burger place called Milo’s; another place I had never heard of. Hands down, best sweet tea ever. They have this special sauce they put on their burgers, incredible. That night we rented “Sahara” and watched it with Emily’s little brothers. It was a really good movie.

This morning we woke up bright and early and went to church. Her church is so much bigger than mine, but everything in Birmingham is much bigger than my little town, the sermon was awesome the title was “The Ten Commandments, Gods Grace.” We rushed back to Emily’s house to finish up packing and then we were off to the University Of Alabama to see some of Emily’s friends from home. We rushed everywhere to find a place with wireless internet so I could write this blog. I hope you enjoyed it :) Have a great day! Life is good, God is better!

I'm glad you had a refreshed weekend and ready to go today. Unlike you I am not. I stayed sick all weekend. But I am happy for you

hey april! i wondered where you were last friday, but I'm glad you're feeling better. I like how you have realized what unconditional love is and how God has shown it to all of His children.

Oh I remember Milo's, I never was a big fan of the burgers though haha. It really is a pretty big place but it's nothing compared to Atlanta.
