Amy N. Russell

Well, well. Today I was just thinking to myself and realized that I haven’t blogged in so dang long!

Life has been throwing a serious of fireballs my way and I haven’t almost forgotten about how to relieve stress through the internet.

Actually, I just got through reading my brothers blogs (i say he is more faithful at it than me) and I just figured that since he doesn’t call or email anymore then I should try reading about his life on his website. Maybe just maybe I’ll miss him a tad bit less.

Anyway, last night I went to see Miranda Lambert in concert! WO!!!! It was great. I’ve never seen a concert where I knew every word to every song until last night. I felt crazy! and drunk (oh yeah I was).

Here lately I’ve been doing everything AMY wants to do. Living alone… supporting only myself… and worrying about no one but me. Honestly sometimes it sucks, but for the most part it feels REALLY GOOD!

In fact this morning I actually got up early and went grocery shopping and then cooked myself a HUGE breakfast! Tomato gravy and biscuits, bacon and eggs, and made myself a pledge that I would do this same thing every sunday morning. I also spent about 2 overdue hours on the phone with my grandmother… who for some reason I am starting to miss more than anyone else in my dull life.

I promised her that I would do this every sunday. Maybe I’m just getting old and am beginning to find that life is tooooo short. I really don’t need to miss a single chance to speak to my family anymore- no matter how busy I am I need to make more time! After all there is nothing like family!

I also need to make a trip home soon I think it has been a few years since I’ve really been HOME, SWEET HOME ALABAMA! I need to stay a few days.

Take a nap on my granny’s front porch swing, smell some honeysuckles, ride a dirt road, listen to my grandfather play some hank williams, throw beer bottles at the road signs, go skinny dipping in a creek, laugh with my life long best friend, hug my mom, sing with my dad, play ball with my brother, paint my sisters fingernails, really get into a saturday football game with my papa, play UNO ALL NIGHT LONG (man i miss that), ride fourwheelers, pick some pecans, go fishing (even though i hate it), get lost in the woods, climb a tree, just anything country will do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just need it! I guess I’m really homesick but unlike most it has taken me a good 3 years to get here!

so… i’m going to run now, but i’ll try to keep blogging maybe you’ll read this JUSTIN!!!!
