Hey peeps~
Well as most of you know I'm a rather boring person so we'll see what I can write that is interesting. Hummm Eric and Sam are dating How cute it that??? I think it's extremely cute. I have an ASL meeting tomorrow. I think I'm going to make lots of cookies for my class cuz they were actually good and take them to the meeting and eat them there too. Humm oh and of course Steve will get some and Eric too. My family won't though lol. They don't need any lol. (if you've seen my family you know what I'm talking about lol) Gosh Julie your growing on me I'm so mean lol I'm just kidding I heart you Julie!!! Richard might be commons down this weekend!!!!!!! We might just get to go to Hula Hut. Wouldn't that be fun. Though I kinda ought to talk to my rents about it all first don't you think?? I do. OHOHOH he's going to lemmie borrow more BEBO!!!!!!!!! YAY I'm sooooo excited I love Bebo!!! If you donno who I'm talking about just lemmie know I'll introduce you!!! Humm so I have lots of hw I'm avoiding cuz my brain hurts. Not really I'm just sleepy. I should be tanning right now but I figure I need to go to church soon and going all sweaty doesn't sound appealing to me. Maybe I'll tan some other time. Oh I talked to my dance teacher about the best way to get toned. And she said that doing something like running for 20 min then doing some pilates would burn the fat and then tone it. Only using about an hr of my time a day. Though I donno when I would I would say right after school but I'm soo lazy then. Sigh I wish I wasn't lazy. Maybe that will be my new focus to come home drink something then go running and do pilates. I mean now that I'm ok with being off line all the time I think it should be ok. We'll see. Anyway I'm probably boring all of you I'll leave you alone tootles God Bless all!!!
All time fav. Verse and it was on the sheet thing and Chris's funeral lemmie tell ya I def just started crying when I read it.
Isaiah 40
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Ok now that I've calmed down I'll tell you about YEAH mission project. Friday was like a WNL with a bunch of people I didn't know yet. We met our group and I was totally pumped from the beginning because I had Sarah P, Mallory, Adam, Samantha and Eric all on my team. It was rather cool. So I met some people and did some silly games like they always do and enjoyed the time. Then I got to sleep in my own bed. Lemmie tell ya that was wonderful!!. Then I got up at 6am to go to breakfast there. That's really rather early and to be on the road before 7am on a Sat was rather strange lol. Though I did have a panic trying to find my tools when I finally used common sense and figured my bro took my tools because they were in his tool box lol. So I was kinda freaking out I didn't have any tools but my dad got up and found some just as I was leaving so it turned out good and the tools amazingly enough were perfect for my site so I was happy. Then at breakfast I met Richard. (if you've been on any CTCYM event you know Richard. He's the guy with the colored hair acting rather nuts ) he looks about 18 or 19 he's like 22 or somewhere close to that he has a b-day coming up in April, so yeah. He's a really cool guy though he made me take pictures early in the morning how not cool is that lol. Ok well we got done with breakfast sat through the boring do this don't do this speeches. Then we were off to our site. I was with Sarah P and Steven for a while but then they were on ladders and I didn't have one yet so I went and worked and talked with Samantha and Eric for a while but welll. We all know about them (speaking of they were together the WHOLE entire day and I think they went star gazing that night also. hehe) So then I was off to the other side of the duplex and found Mallory and the guy Sam. So I ended up hanging out with them most of the time. They are great fun to have around to talk and joke with!! Oh but get this the tall people were scared of heights so short Mary had to get on the extension ladder up to almost the top step. Gosh. I'm the one used to being close to the ground not them. lol It was fun anyway though. Def some really nice people to hang with. Then one group got done early so they came to help but they didn't help at all they just kinda sat on the driveway and talked with Adam ( who got in a better mood for it so I guess it's good ) Then we still got done early and headed back just hanging in the family life center for at least 45 min. Which was cool cuz Richard was there and we had lots of fun. Then we ate and had the slide show thingy where I was in WAY WAY WAY too many pics YUCK. Next time I won't wear such bright colors I think that's what did it. Anyway then Richard and I played around. He took my bandana and my hair tie. But I got my hair tie back though he still has the bandana. Though he did lend me his CD so it's all good he should be coming back before the month is over to get his CD back so hopefully we'll hang out again. Though I think I got the better end of the deal making him come back and getting use of the CD lol. SO yeah that's how that went. Though right after is when I got the text message about Chris so that was rollercoaster emotions. But YEAH. That was it.

Ok well I can't tell you about how YEAH went besides it was wonderful right now. I donno if y'all member but Chris Brengle went on the Kansas mission and was with Round Rock. He and I kept in touch sense then and I was even going to go to his prom with him but well. He died last night in a car accident. No one else was hurt thank God! But he was speeding and his back wheel hit some loose gravel flipped his car and landed upsidedown killing Chris. I hope to go to Valley Mills Monday to his funeral at 4:00 at the Baptist church there. I got the message as I was about to drive home from YEAH. His brother had left me a text message and I drove back to church to talk to BK and have him drive me home. Please pray for Chris's family and friends Thankfully I know Chris was strong in his faith and is now with God. Why so many car accidents all at once?? Why all these deaths in a row?? I know you hear the stats on how many are in one year but I never thought that this many would be so close to me. I donno if I wanna drive anymore. I think I'll bike. At least I'd be in shape that way. If you wanna go to Chris's funeral let me know and we'll car pool. Please please please don't speed drive carefully I don't think I can handle another friend dieing.
1 Samuel 2:6
"The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave [ 2:6 Hebrew [ Sheol ] ] and raises up.

Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death."

The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [ 23:4 Or [ through the darkest valley ] ] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I have YEAH mission this weekend so I'll be busy tonight and tomorrow. Day ok lets see hummm this morning omgosh traffic was Horrid YIKES!! I sat on one road moving two inches in two min. Man annoying. 1st was relaxing, amazingly enough hardly anyone was there so the teacher was nice. Though we did get a take home test which isn't fun but ya know. Second alright I didn't do my outline but it was just one quiz won't kill me. Lunch was good except I had a VERY embarrassing moment. I walked right into the door of one of the band lockers. I felt so stupid and it made a big loud noise. Ugh lol. It hurt too :.( but I'm ok. Third was welll physics. ASL was actually really good we had a sub and we were just watching a movie though the movie was all dirty. It had this guy feeling up this dummy and this girl freaking out it was well GROSS the rest of the movie didn't get much better either. Though I did talk to friends which was cool. After school I got lots of hugs!!! I was happy I love hugs!!! OH and Eric and Sam are sooo cute lol they write me identical e-mails and they are just cute hehe. Then I drove Ryan K and Julie home. He's rather fun to have around sometimes and of course Julie is my Valentine!!!! Now I'm home I ate some yummy ice cream!! Though now I feel fat lol. So yeah. I think that would be the full update I'll ttyl Love Ya'll!!!

Well today was rather ok. Nothing big happened besides a stupid band concert but ya know. Not exciting. I wanna talk to someone but I don't want to be the one to call. Ever have that feeling??? Kinda where you wish someone thought as much about you as you do them. I mean even if they donno you're thinking about them you just want them to call even if it's just to say hello. Yeah that would be where I am. I feel like it's too late to call anyone but I want someone to call me lol. I'm such a dork but what else is new. Well I'm off to sit and stare into space. Smile

You act so superior, sticking your noses in the air--act superior to me, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies!

Ok well lets start with the good stuff! I spoke at church. It went well. I think I did an ok job. Let go and let God!! I didn't even shake as much as I usually do it was rather amazing. Ok now for the bad. Beau H. got killed in a car accident and I just found out. He went to my middle school and I dated him for a while. Def. a BIG shock for me. He was an awesome guy always smiling very out going. Please pray for his family and all who knew him.
Ok well on to other stuff. Matt heard me speak but I didn't get to talk to him and well honestly he's the only one I wanted to after I spoke. I know him and I want to know what he thought and just hear his reaction. I know he needs to hear things like God loves him and God saved him. So I just wanna know his view. Steve couldn't go I really wish he could've I would have liked a hug but it's all good I'll just get one tomorrow. I kinda wish I had asked David to go too. But I only wanted people besides Matt that God told to be there I didn't want it to be my thing I wanted it to be His. So I pray it was and that people got something out of it.

Hey Everyone~
So I turned in my apps for shoe carnival where one guy was all flirting with me it was funny though he did make sure that I talked to the guy who hires people so maybe I'll actually get to work there!! They said just call back Monday so I'm happy!! Then lets see. On the way there on 620 where you're supposed to go 45 I was going like 60 (yes I know I don't speed but on that two lane road with a BIG Semi behind me obeying the speed limit wasn't what I was worried about) and this cop passed me like goin 75 or 80 zooming by it was nuts lol. Ok then on the way home there was a HUGE "BANG" from the back of the car I had NO clue what it was. I knew it wasn't a blow out but OMGOSH it scared the daylights out of me. Then after returning the movies at Blockbuster it did it again!! YIKES I donno what any of it was but it scared the crap out of me. I almost broke down crying. But luckily I'm not one to jerk when I'm startled other wise I would have had a serious wreck. God's Blessings lemmie tell ya. Ok so that's my story for today I hope to go to Eric and Steve's game tonight. ttyl call if you wanna talk!!

was majestic in power.
Your right hand, O LORD ,

7 In the greatness of your majesty
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;
it consumed them like stubble.

White noise. Why is it called that??? Is it cuz white light has all the colors but only seen though a prism so white noise has a bunch of noises but only heard when listening?? I donno. Well I hate it. I hate it with a passion. I swear it would be the route of my procrastination. It makes me tired gives me headaches and is all around bad. Maybe I should invest in a good set of ear plugs so I can do my hw with out distracting noises and such around me. Humm that sounds like a good idea though I donno how my rents will react especially to me not responding to calls sense I won't hear them. I guess that's something I'll have to ask them. Well anyway. Mr Stein is trying to get me to take a band period which I really don't want to. Sigh I don't wanna leave band that will be hard for me especially with Julie Eric and Steve. Sigh but I don't wanna stay and just waste my time. Though I think what I really need is to make sure that I have down what I wanna do instead of band. I mean I know I want to do volunteer work and have a job but I think I would need to start those before I feel ok with leaving band. Maybe that will be my goal this week is to turn in my apps and then go start volunteering. Though I'm not to sure where or when. Which I guess would be the problem. Maybe Mr. Cromwell knows where to look at least. I know BK knows but I wanna do it with out him. Maybe it would be best to ask a councilor. Yeah that sounds like a good idea to me. Well I best be off to procrastinate some more and maybe catch some sleep while I'm at it.

Ok so I don't member any hw how bad is that?? hummm oh well. Today was relaxing and kinda boring but I did get my room clean isn't that nice hehe. Oh and I did find what I wanna put on my wall above my door in my room " The greatest possession you have is the 24hours directly in front of you" I think that would be a good thing to look at when I wake up to remind me that I should live now and enjoy what I have now and not worry about what is to come. God is there to help and worrying only wastes energy to help others. Anyway I best be off things to do people to see Smile lots God Loves you!!! The greatest equation is 1 man + 3 Nails = 4given!

This evening was so much fun!! Dan came over! I haven't talked to him in forever so we just took a walk which was wonderful!! Though I did hurt my foot but it's ok I'll be fine. Then I went and played some baseball with Steve, Eric and Sam!! It was fun though the little kids kept fighting and all ditched us I felt bad but maybe some other time we can get playing together and such. Then they all came over and had some pizza and watched A Beautiful Mind. Then sat on my roof arbor thing and star gazed it was so much fun the weather was so nice!! Gosh I wish we would do things like that more often I loved hanging with them. It's such a great feeling to be with friends who you know care and just have fun and be yourself. The best thing also is they are all Christians so we all have good clean fun too. I mean granted it's fun to have non Christian friends and people who don't go that path but it's more unusual to have such good friends that go to your school and church just a good safe feeling for me. I'm very grateful God blessed me with these three wonderful friends!!!(though I do feel old sometimes) but it's all good!

Hey peeps~
It's amazing the more self searching I do the more things I find out about myself that I don't like. I know people tell you that you're wonderful but they don't see what you see. It's odd that I figure out things now too. I just started really hanging out with bunches o people and having tons of fun but now that I figured out what I did I want to hide in a whole and fix it before I see anyone else. But the weird thing with that is I have to be around people to fix it. Hummm well I guess time and Prayer will have to fix this one. Though that would be how most of my problems get fixed amazing how God does that right. I wish I knew what was next. I wish I knew why here why now. I know those are questions that should really just be left alone time will tell and nothing anyone can say will improve those questions but I think this is the first time I've completely fallen down from the mountain(well it feels more like a cliff) Everything seemed to be going so well why question now. I don't get it. But I know I'm not supposed to get it. (ok I'm starting to hate this being smart thing and knowing all the answers to my questions but it not feeling any better) [some how I can hear someone saying welcome to growing up] sigh I don't think I wanna. But if I don't I get left behind. I guess I just get to deal with it. Sigh well enough complaining sorry this was so depressing. I think most of my blogs are. I treat this more like a journal than something that others read. I guess I shouldn't do that. It does something I don't like. Well we shall see what happens.

ok so today's weather was weird it started out kinda gray then it got so beautiful for like the whole day then tonight it has a lightning storm and slightly rains. Gosh Texas lol.
Lets see I said this would be a more personal entry but I'm not sure what to talk about. humm ok here's one that I might ramble forever on. Why don't people who don't understand the Passion movie find out what it's all about. Why must they take something that can actually change lives and turn it into their garbage?? I wish there was some way to make them understand. There are some coming out of the movie going I hate Jews now thanks. Well was Jesus not a Jew Himself?? Was it only Jews who did it to Him?? Why point fingers. Mel even said that it wasn't Jews as a group who killed Christ it was us. So if there are any pointing at fingers to be done it should be at yourself. He died for YOU if you were the only one who would have been saved from His suffering on the cross He still would have done it. Why isn't that being printed in the papers about the movie?? Why is it that they only see the bad side?? Why aren't Christians doing anything writing articles and spreading God's love?? I don't understand. I really don't understand people who call themselves Christians and even go to my church who will sit there and talk bad about the movie. I mean seriously they are the ones who are supposed to at least understand the meaning behind it enough to be touched by it some how. Knowing that it's not just another movie. It's not just gore and a simple story.

6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Hey peeps~
Well everyone else has seemed to update their blogs but not me so here you go.
Friday I went to school as normal it was a rather long day I must admit. Teachers are weird the last day of school before Spring Break. Though I did get to talk to Mr Cromwell about salvation which was really amazing thing to do. He's such a mentor for me I love it. He knows so much behind every aspect of Christianity it's awesome to sit and talk with him about anything and everything. I can not wait until next week when he's seen the Passion and I can ask some meanings behind things. I know the movie is stock full of them but I'm not sure what all they are and what that would mean to me so I'm gonna talk to him about that. Then I went over to Eric's house after school sense it was raining we didn't get to play baseball which suxed but that's ok. Some other time. It was fun as always! Steve and Sam were there too. Def. Some very awesome people to hang out with right there. I'm so glad God Blessed me with good friends like that even though I feel old around them sometimes lol. (David I'm starting to relate a little of the oldness [but your even older hehehe]) Anyway then I took Sam to my house for some food before the concert then it was off in the rain to the concert which by the way was AMAZING!! Sam and I got to ride the wet golf cart up to the building it was fun lol. I enjoyed the first guy(don't member name you know how I am) then Rebecca St. James was good but I like Kristin better and the Newsboys TOTALLY ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!! I love them I love them all !! The lead singer had a really awesome message to speak also it was pretty cool. Oh and to stay out of bad traffic afterward Sam and I ran all the way to the car in the parking lot in the rain it was funny to see us all running lol. So that was my Friday. Saturday. I cleaned my room and rearranged it then cleaned my car (well took my junk out lol) then went to the Secret Window (Johnny Depp!!!) with some friends now that's a long story if you really wanna hear ask. Then we ate and went to the mall and then barns and noble to hang a bit and for coffee. SO yeah so far Spring Break is awesome!! Today I went to the later service so I could hear my sis play bells she did really well I'm proud. Then I came home ate and slept hehe Wonderfulness hehe. Now I'm just typing until my dad has to leave for Atlanta and I go to CR. So yeah that's my weekend. Long story hu. I should post daily and not wait this long to update ya'll lol. Though I think most of you that read this were with me at least part of this weekend. lol
So plans for the rest of the week. Tomorrow shopping with my mommy should be fun and get lots of clothes. Hopefully tomorrow( if I can contact her) I will go prom dress shopping with Tamera but that shouldn't take to awful long so yeah I do have some bored time there lol. Then Wed. I'm not sure I think maybe something with Eric and Steve if he's back and up to doing something. Then Thurs. I'm off to Arlington to see my bro "sigh" Then Friday maybe Sam David Ben and I can have our mall park day but that is interchangeable with Wed sense I donno anyone else's plans yet. And then Sat is open I do believe. And Sunday Julie's b-day she wants me to take her to I-HOP for this asl thing so I'm planning on doing that then Monday is school. Gosh this week is not long enough. Oh well I'll forget everything I was supposed to do sigh.
Ok well in my opinion that's long enough I'll post a more personal message tomorrow now that ya'll have all my plans.

Hey everyone~
So this Tuesday felt like a Monday yucky!! It was a long day longer than when I got up at 6:00 how wrong is that?? Yeah got up an hr later and the day felt longer Yick. Ok enough of that complaining. I walked out of ASL today. It was only like 10min before the bell but I did NOTHING in that class I sat and did doodles not even joking Mrs. Mach had us doing NOTHING. Gosh I already hate the people in that class (besides my valentine Julie and some other friends) I'm only there for the work and then she goes and has us do nothing Yikes bad so I walked out. I'm so pmsing today all upset and grumpy no good. Gosh I hate being a girl sometimes it's just a pain. OH well fact of life.
I played the Piano again today it was relieving. I hadn't quite realized how much music with out having an instructor or blowing your brains out trying to make a pretty sound is relaxing and wonderful. I really kinda miss it. I guess now that I'm quitting band I might just pick it up again. Though I found out real quick that I don't member how to read base clef all that well, but that's ok it will be a challenge which is good.
So this weekend lets see Friday I'm going to a concert then Sat I'm going with Julie, Heather, Sarah, Codie and Trica to see the new Johnny Depp movie Secret Window!!! It's exciting. Eric and Steve wanted to get out of 4th to go see it but well I think it'd be better to go with girls for me ya know. lol Somehow I think that talking about the hottness that is Johnny would bug the guys lol. After that I have yet to make plans for Spring Break. I know a bunch of people would like to hang out but no one has told me anything or planned anything so I might be real bored we'll see.
So I'm turning in my Applications hopefully tomorrow. I need two more references and I'm not too sure who to use. I was thinking maybe another teacher and possibly another adult at church ( car's mom maybe or Mrs Franklin) Though I kinda need to ask them sometime soon so yeah.
I'm kinda excited about tomorrow Sam is giving the message at WNL which will be awesome!!! She is an amazing person I love her to death!! I can't wait to do missions with this girl it will be so awesome!!
Ok so I'm gonna try and get off so much caffeen I've started drinking 2 cups a day which is too much for me. One thing of caffeen is good for Mary. I'm also gonna try to stop eating snacks and maybe work out more. It's hard for me to get motivated at home to work out. I used to do this machine my mom has and watch tv while doing so but they took that tv away I'm still not sure why but yeah if they put on back I would easily work out all the time but ya know I don't get it my way most of the time.
Oh God Moment I was looking up a passage to put in today's blog then I saw what we studied yesterday in bible study how cool is that so here it is!!
Luke 20:1-20
1One day as he was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2"Tell us by what authority you are doing these things," they said. "Who gave you this authority?"
3He replied, "I will also ask you a question. Tell me, 4John's baptism--was it from heaven, or from men?"
5They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why didn't you believe him?' 6But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
7So they answered, "We don't know where it was from."
8Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
The Parable of the Tenants
9He went on to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.'
14"But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. 'This is the heir,' they said. 'Let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
16"What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never be!"
17Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
" 'The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone[1] '[2] ? 18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."
19The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
Ok we'll that's a long blog so i'll let all of ya'll go hope your day is full of great joy and laughter!!

1 Peter 1: 24-25
24That's why the prophet said,
The old life is a grass life,
its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers;
Grass dries up, flowers droop,
25God's Word goes on and on forever.

Philippians 4: 4-7
4Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice! 5Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
6Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Ok so now I'm back from church I thought I would write another blog sense the last one was short and kinda dark. So here's a more motivational one. The topic in youth was service. I had told myself once I was out of band I would do mission work in it's place wellllll. That hasn't gone exactly as I would have wanted things just keep coming up or I forget you know how I am. So I'm not too sure what to do or when to do it. I've had a few really crazy weeks but this one was more calm I guess is one way of saying it. From my understanding these next ones will be calmer also. So I would like to go work at the RR serving center or volunteer someplace, but if you know me I'm rather shy and don't know how to go about just doing that. God calls us to serve him and I desire nothing more than to do what He ask's of us, but how do I start?? Where do I start. I mean I've done things with my church all the time but that doesn't mean I can sit there on my own and do something. What if my rents don't let me drive or what if when I get my job it conflicts. I just donno if I'm ready to take on things like this with hw and such. Yeah there is the summer but I don't want to wait that long to do things. Sigh. I guess if it was easy everyone would always do it. I just wish I had a way or I guess the will to get out there like I want to. Though something tells me wanting it isn't enough. I have no knowledge of what else I would need but wanting it isn't enough. This is something I rarely ask but if you're reading this would you please pray for me that I find whatever it is I need to do all these ideas I have stored in my head.

Hey~ Julie is a PLAYER!!!!! She is MY Valentine but no she wanted to fight Matt for Kimmy grrrrr. Why do I put up with that kind of rejection WHY?? Sigh I guess you can't please everyone. Though she did fling Kimmy back at Matt when I made a pouty face lol. I win!!!!
So yeah anyway. Today is gray I wish it would rain so I could go play in it. Not that I have anyone to play in the rain with but yeah. I can always sit and listen to the rain wishing that I had someone to cuddle with. Though not really relationships are not at all my thing right now. So I just like rain.
Well that's all my randomness for now maybe I'll write back later cuz I'm just out of it and tired now. Tootles

And love GOD, your God, listening obediently to him, firmly embracing him. Oh yes, he is life itself

Hey Everyone~
Not much to tell today it was school you know. Humm lets see I'm going to miss Thursday for an ASL trip that should be loads of fun. Though Mrs Mach said we would have an ASL meeting tomorrow even though she isn't there but she seems to have changed her mind kinda upsets me but oh well teachers will be teachers and ones with ADD will have issues. That was mean :/ anyway So not a lot happened today. Average b-day. Got all my hw done though Mrs Langerhan forgot to give us our ws so I donno if it'll be due or not I hope not cuz I didn't get it lol. Yeah that's about it smile lots have fun tootles!

Hey peeps!! So how was everyone's day?? Mine was rather good actually though I was so tired from having to get up at 6 for band at 7:30 but that's ok. I survived. Anna and I went rollerblading today it was such a beautiful day too!! Ah the joys in life hehe. Dang that makes me think how I'll just end up with a kid darn. Sigh You know older kids aren't so bad maybe I'll just adopt so I don't have to have a baby. Then again I'd really rather not have to devote my life to a kid and to me it's wrong to have one if you aren't willing to do so. OH well anyway.
So I think I'm going paintballing not this weekend but the next with Eric F, Steven, Eric P, Sam, and Kristin M. Rather exciting. Lots of girls it's great hehe. I'm kinda excited about it hehe. They are fun guys to have around I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity to hang with them.
Oh goodness this six weeks physics project is nasty. I have to create something that will fly on a string from one end of the room to the other. Though we can have partners which is good. Kristin wasn't there last time but I think I'm gonna ask her to be my partner she always makes a good grade so yeah. Though we'll have to set up a bunch of time to work on it so that will be interesting from what I know we're both kinda busy people oh well.
Well I'll stop keeping you from doing something more interesting. hehe Enjoy your day!! Smile lots sending all my luv and a big HUG ttfn (ta ta for now)
1 Chronicles 16:7-12
David's Psalm of Thanks
7 That day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this psalm of thanks to the LORD :
8 Give thanks to the LORD , call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.
12 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced
