In a Bus Full of Blacks


It's Jess...again!! This obviously is the 411! We woke up this morning, to get ready for a church in Grand Rapids..... not actually that bad! We got on a bus that Aunt Noelle was driving, and Us three were the only people out of like, 24 blacks....we were so afraid! The worst part, was that there was a boy maybe in 3rd grade who kept putting his head on my shoulder... during church, and Taylor wouldn't even trade places with me!! I wonder why?!? Taylor and kept on scooching the opposite way, but he would move right along with us! He made me a twisty thing with wire, and he colored me a picture! That was very scary! We met/saw Marshan, Damonic, Robert, Terrance, Tia, BabyD, Lucy, Destiny, Jose, Kerby, Jazmine, Parashay, and Diamonique. They are all really cool, and you never need anything to occupy yourself, because these people are hilarious!!











Jose has the curly hair, and Kerby is the bald one. They are my little angels..... YEAH RIGHT!









This is the whole gang.....well, only about half. Of course there's me and Taylor. The only white ones there, who stick out like sore thumbs...really!!











This is Taylor, pulling little Kerby around with a little racket. This is on the stage in the gymnasium of the church.





This is me, Taylor, and my Auntie. We are trying to ignore all of the noise in the gym.


This is Kerby again. Isn't his smile just the cutest? We are sitting over the edge in the back.





This is Destiny. She is so cute! When it comes to just family & friends around, she is loud, and LOUD! She bosses but I love her! She's so funny! She didn't want me to put her Lego picture on here because she doesn't like this picture! She's Lucy's sister.





This is Lucy. she looks pretty orderly and shy huh? WRONG!! When she gets home, and she gets caffeine into her system, she goes CRAZY!! She named my guitar Bessie, and used it to sing a Lucy original called "Lattes and Coffee". It goes: "I like lattes and coffee, and coffee and lattes..." and it goes on and on just like that. We don't need a TV or anything because she is our entertainment..really! Now she's singing about the bathroom! Oh Lordy... this just gets better and better!




This is Jose, Ms. Kali, and Kerby. They are all crazy and insane!

This is What You Get When You Come to a Big City like Grand Rapids

It's Jess, and this is the 411! Taylor and I are right now in Grand Rapids. We just got home, and sat down to get comfortable, and Aunt Noelle looked outside through blinds, looked at us and said," Upstairs! Come on, upstairs!" We got upstais and spied on the gang fighting below us! Hee hee! Then, Aunt Noelle cracked the window a bit, and we could hear what they were saying!! Even worse!! One of the kids looked like he had a B.B. gun! They fought for about 10 minutes, then the fuzz (police) was coming! They ran and jumped over fences, MAN it was HALARIOUS!!! We moved from window to window creeping through the blinds. I was so scared! I prayed that I wouldn't die. I turned to Aunt Noelle and said,"Now I know why you go to church!" She laughed and then we stayed up there for a little longer, then went downstairs! Now and then we heard threats, and once I heard, "Don't shoot!" and that sent chills down my spine right then and there. We heard screams too! Shieks of girls, and the sad thing is, the gang was made up of people about as old as me! That's amazing!! Well, that's all for now, tomorrow, I'm sure you'll get a couple more posts because we're in Grand Rapids... DUH!
