Thanksgiving ~ Part 3

So, here I am again. Day three I haven't missed one yet! Aren't you impressed? ;) Day three: I am thankful for the ability to run. That's not exactly a thing but it is definitely something that makes my life better. I ran for 30 minutes (in case you were wondering;)) today. It was a great run. It reminded me that I should be thankful that I can run. Some people can't run because of various reasons... but I (most of the time) do. That is also something that I take for granted. I forget that I don't need a gym or a workout buddy... I just need some asphalt and running shoes. So what are you thankful for today?

My True Love

I thought I'd do another post for today... I'm not quite sure why... especially since I just did one but I realized I haven't talked about something (that I am very passionate about) for a long time. Can you guess what it is? Running. The past couple months my running has gone way down but only because fitness at soccer has gone way up... and I had a couple injuries I had to get healed up. But on Saturday I ran 2.5 miles with my Daddy and it was amazing:). No matter how many times I get out there and start running the feeling never gets old. It almost makes you feel invincible... well... at least for the first couple miles... then that feeling slowly fades away if you know what I mean. Well, as soon as my Mom gets home I'm goin' out for another run. Not sure how far today... depends on my knee... and what my determination is... ;).

Thanksgiving ~ Part 2

I am very thankful for God's grace and mercy. Sadly, I take advantage of this very often. I go through days and don't even think about thanking Him for saving me and forgiving me and loving me. I have a verse (that doesn't really have anything to do with what I just said) that I would like to share with you.
Philippians 4:6 ~ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Picnik... :)

Thanksgiving ~ Part 1

So, Thanksgiving is this week and I figured all of my posts should be about Thanksgiving for this week. I will post (or try to) everyday about something that I am thankful for. So, day 1 I am thankful for my family. One thing about my family is they're not all related by blood. I have some friends that I consider family. I am so blessed to have them. I was blessed enough to be born and raised in a godly home. I was brought up learning about God. I realize that not many people have that opportunity. I often take that for granted. So what are you thankful for?

That's What I Love About... Saturday;)

Yes. I do know that the title of the song is 'That's What I Love About Sunday' but it's not Sunday... So, it's been almost a week since I last posted and that's mainly because I was on vacation from Sunday through Wednesday and then I have school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I would've posted yesterday but my awesome Grandma came over and spent the evening with me since my parents were leaving. I would've stayed by myself but I figure if you have to oppurtunity to spend time with people you love don't take advantage of it... so I didn't;).

I just got back in from running with my Daddy :). I only ran about 2.5 miles... my Dad's still out running... my guess is he's gonna run about 5 miles. I'm glad that I have a very fit Dad but I hate the fact that he can out run me... give it a couple years... I'm not a long-term runner... I'm a sprinter... oh well;). The rest of my day will be spent cleaning the house for Thanksgiving, doing homework, and helping my Dad with the Christmas lights outside (don't worry we're not turning them on till after Thanksgiving). We have a lot to do this year for Thanksgiving... this is will be the first year that we're having it at our house. Because of that, we have a lot of cleaning to do. Our house isn't a disaster or anything but things need to be picked up, dusted, and vacuumed. Well, I guess I better go and start my work so I can have some free time later:). Below are some pictures of our vacation.

Good Morning!

Well, I hope all of you are having a great morning. I am. Mainly because I am so physched about heading up to the mountains today! I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I will definitely have pictures to bring back and show you guys. I still don't have a camera but my awesome new ipod touch (which I showed you in my post yesterday) have a camera on it... well two actually but they work like one. You know what I mean right? Anyway, I have that and my phone and of course my Mom will have her camera. Well, I guess I better go and get my stuff ready to go and then get myself ready for church. But I will post a few pictures up here since I am so behind on posting. Have a great week!

It's true.... I have a youtube account now. Only because my gmail account automatically signs in when I go to youtube. But now you can see my video that I made!!! Aren't you excited??? Enjoy;)

So yeah...

I have totally failed at keeping this blog even remotely up to date. I apologize. I mean I know how it annoying to get into a blog and then the person never posts anything. Not that that many people are into my blog but I thought I'd just throw that out there. So, my life has been slightly less boring during the time I haven't posted. My life has been kind of up and down lately but more on that later. I just wanted to give a slight update on my life... not a big, long, drawn-out post about every area of my life. That would be weird. ;) So, soccer season is basically over... my last game(s) were last weekend but practices go through December 1st. Of course I'm not complaining:). School has been very, very busy. I hardly have time for anything else. But, that's the life of a teenager. Well, a teenager that is an athlete and doesn't just float through school if you catch my drift. Oh and I almost forgot... I have started saying things like "if you catch my drift" and "well, I guess you're not the sharpest pitchfork in the barn..." and please don't ask why... *cough*Dad*cough*... ;) But anyway this post ended up being way longer than I had planned and I haven't even put up any pictures yet! Oh well... one very important thing I have learned recently is that things can't always be planned... they happen by suprise the majority of the time. Not that that applies to a blog post but you know what I mean. :)

so these are my awesome new running shoes... I LOVE Nike Air:D

so my Dad was supposed be doing this jump and he was like 'focusing' I think so of course I just had to interupt that;)
