We found Dequincy!

The last two days have been such a thrill. Such a rollercoaster, too. But all in all, the best. I love it in Dequincy. It’s GREAT. Everything about it…I love Arlene’s house, her family, her church, her friends…everything is just so perfect for me down there. I couldve stayed forever. I wanted to.. Arlene is the best..and her family..her mom & dad are SO sweet! I felt at home. I loved it.

Here’s about how it went…

Yesterday morning, we set out to find Dequincy, Louisiana and to find Arlene. It was like an hour after we left my house that we got started, though, because we stopped at like every store betweeen here & Urania. We finally settled with some chocolate chip muffins ‘n STARBUCKS VANILLA COFFEE STUFF! lol. “CONVENIENT STORE STARBUCKS! WOO!” Yum! So anyway, we were going GREAT and following them directions Mr. Kevin found us..(the GOOD directions! no traffic circle!) and we somehow missed a road and blahh..ended up in an abandoned parking lot. “WHAT DO YOU SEE?” “Uhh…hot tamales.” We’ve decided foreign people don’t exactly work when you’re asking for directions..so we went and visited AutoZone! They were all super nice and gave us precise directions! YAY FOR NICE BLACK GUYS!

We went straight all the way to Kinder…(stopping once to buy batteries, a camera ‘n ice cream..score!) and we kinda got a wee bit lost b/c no sign..lol. So anyway, we stopped at the Kinder Police Department! The lady was super nice too! (We thought it’d be the last time to go inside that PD, too…) She led us straight on to DeQuincy ‘n Arlene’s mom helped us the rest of the way.

Arlene’s House: We sat there ‘n talked for a while ‘n chilled with her lil cousin who “watches Spiderman” and “watches Dora”. hehe. Bible study was at 5 and it was so awesome. I love her youth group ‘n youth leader (who snorts..haha). It was great seeing some of the youth I remember! He did bible study and we had prayer time..and it was so amazing, but i’ll get back 2 that.

Her church was good too, xcept her pastor preached a really long time and I was freezing and he talked about me! aha It was hard to keep my eyes open though. But the singing was so much fun lol..I loved it. I knew like every song people sang too..except Terri’s! It was SOOO good seeing her too! YAY! Like a big family reunion or something. How funs. Hargrove is great though.

After church, we went ‘n ate at Popeyes with a couple of the people in the YG and then went home and stayed up until 1 something taking pictures & talking alotttt. It was so fun just sitting there talking to Arlene and Sam…they’re so comforting. They make me really happy and faithful. And i’ve said “AWW” so much…in my life! HARGROVE? AWWW. MILDALE? AWWW. RANDOM THING ABOUT ANYTHING ABOUT DEQUINCY, HARGROVE, OR MILDALE? Awwwwww! lols. PICTURES? Double Aw.

The way home was a diff. story. We got HIT by a man in KINDER. Sitting at a stop sign and he backed into us from a parking lot! And we sat in the PD for an hour! *cry* But this was like his 6th wreck (2 in the same spot) since like last November or something. Also, we got super lost…headed way down to St. Landry…umm got lost in the ghetto..and a COP YELLED AT US! How RUUUDE!

But we got home safe ‘n sound!!! YAY! I’m going to write about the prayer thing on my Myspace in a bit, so leave me comments here & there! *SMOOCH*

Thank Jesus we’re ok.
