remind me again why I'm still up?

After being stuffed full of turkey, dressing, casseroles, and cake I thought I finish off the day (and start the next) doing Black Friday shopping. Of course I didn't go anywhere... last I checked I still had common sense... well enough to not go out and get caught up in that crazy mess. For those who love Black Friday shopping, more power to you but for me, I prefer to stay home. I like shopping where I can stay in my pajamas and eat whenever I want... food's a big thing for me. So here I sit with my Mommy... finding good deals and trying to stay awake. Well, she seems to be going strong... I, on the other hand, practically fell asleep laid across the counter. It's so easy to do since I'm all bundled up with house shoes, hoodie, and blankie. I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving. I know I certainly did. I also know that my correct grammar and punctuation completely out the window... we'll just chalk that up to that fact that it's almost 1:30 in the morning and I may or may not have had way more to eat than I should have. Well, on that note I shall go help my Mommy finish her shopping and then get off to bed... if I make it that far. Happy Black Friday!

Im back! :)

I'm hesitant to say that because I normally only post like every 2 months... which is ridiculous... I mean it only takes a few minutes... oh well. I start school back next week and I can't say that I'm ready for that but I also can't say that I'm dreading it. I always like starting school it's just the continuing I have a problem with. ;) My birthday is exactly 6 days from right now and I am super excited!!! I am actually getting my permit on my birthday! I still have no idea how I managed to get my parents to let me;). I have been very sick this past week but now I am almost completely recovered. I say almost because I'm still coughing a little and because of the fluid built up in my ears I can't hear very well. I started physical therapy for my knee last Tuesday. We are all hoping this will strengthen the muscles around my knee and fix the problem so I won't have to have surgery. I really really really really really don't want to have surgery. :) I have my first belt test in karate on the 18th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time... Well, I guess I'll go and start reading the driver's book... that might be helpful with the test... Bye!

Well...

Here I am almost a month into summer and I haven't posted anything at all. My summer has been great so far... especially this week. Neighborhood Bible Time has been a blast. I have made many memories... and injuries. Every single person that has been at NBT has at least one bruise I'm sure. Although I took home the gold on Wednesday night... While trying to make it all the way across the tarp on my feet (which was covered in baby shampoo and sprayed by the firefighter) I got half way across and my feet slid out from under me. One concussion later I still don't remember falling but I'm sure I didn't black out or anything. At least I got people to laugh;). Also I gave people a pretty good run for their money by diving over the four foot big ball and landing on my right knee and elbow. Yet again I got the most laughs... ;) It's been an awesome week and it's going to be an awesome summer. Have a great day!

Here I sit

Here I sit on my bed in our beach house. Well, the beach house we're renting for the week. It's our seventh day on vacation and I worn myself out with fun. Well, fun and my Dad but they're kind of one and the same. I am looking forward to getting back home although I'm not ready for vacation to end. It will be fun hanging out with friends, doing stuff with church, writing new music, organizing, etc. I am excited for what this summer has to offer. At church we have lots of pontential for new families and kids that will be greatly welcomed. It's all really exciting. I will be working on my music more intently. I will be doing extra work ahead (and behind) on school to make sure my high school years count. I will spending time with God studying His word and seeking His will. I will be organizing my room, the gym, the den, etc. because I'm just so OCD. I will training more significantly and hopefully work on strengthening my knee. I will start running again no matter how bad my knee hurts. I'm gonna get more tan than I already am. I going to spend most of my time outside, at the pool, or on the river... of course with some of my most favorite people. I am looking forward to the rest of my life. This is the first day of the rest of my life and I'm going to make it count. Make it stand out. Make it mine.

A Great Weekend

Well, you might have wondered about my twitter statuses... they wouldn't have made sense unless you knew where I was. But we were in Ohio from Friday to Monday. We had an awesome time:). We went up because our old pastor was retiring. We didn't get up there till about 7 on Friday so we didn't do much then. Saturday was fun. I went with Paul to the church to help the youth group set up for Sunday... that was fun. I saw a ton of people I hadn't seen in years. The girls hadn't changed much... they just got a little taller;). The boys are a different story... The boys that used to be short and annoying are now tall and really cute. ;) Sunday was awesome. My face was sore the whole day because I was smiling literally the whole time we were at church. I still can't get over how big all the kids have gotten... I mean I've obviously gotten taller since I was 9 but I don't notice me as much... since I see myself everyday;). Well, it was back to school today. I can't say I'm excited about school but it wasn't a totaly drag... I don't hate school... at least not all the time;). So, I'm gonna finish watching Biggest Loser and then get my hiney to bed. Goodnight y'all:)

It's Wednesday...

I know it's only 9:30 but I'm literally following alseep. Oh well. Did you guys hear Jack got his halo off today? That pretty much made my day. It's just amazing seeing how strong and joyful he can be. It kinda makes me wonder how I would respond in that situation. But hands down, Jack's a huge role model for kids everywhere.

I crashed my scooter three times today... although, I was sitting down on the scooter 2 out of 3 times. The other time I didn't actually fall... I caught myself. The weather was awesome today. We had a blast outside. I'm sure that will be the same for the rest of the week. Maybe I'll find some people to take pictures of us outside because I know that y'all are dying to see what we do out there;). Idk... it's just an idea. Honestly, my thoughts are kinda all over the place right now because I'm so stinkin' tired. With that I'm just gonna tell y'all goodnight and post something in the morning. Hope y'all have a great night!

Saturday...

Saturday may be my favorite day of the week. Especially now since it's getting warmer. And when Saturdays are warm outside us kids in hood have loads of fun. Today was no exception. Started at 8 a.m. this morning when I woke up and it became very obvious, very quickly I was not going to be able to go back to sleep. So what did I do? What any normal kid would do... (yes, I still consider myself normal even though it's not really true) I went downstairs, threw myself on the couch, covered up with my blankie, and watched The Waltons, Jessie, and Lab Rats. It was fun... although it took me a while to actually be full awake... my sister joined me on the couch about 10 and then our parents got up later... I thought I'd be a good daughter and not wake them up since they NEVER sleep in. ;) After we ate breakfast and got ready I headed outside. I called the nieghbors and they were gonna help me come and paint the swingset only the paint wasn't here yet so we just finished getting the old paint off... or... attempted to at least. It was all fine until my neighbors dog came over. It's just a little pug who doesn't bother us and he she wasn't in the way so we just left her alone for the most part. Well, we did for as long as we could. Then that stinkin' dog decided to entice Roxie (our other neighbors dog) to come under the fence and 'visit'. I wasn't amused. Roxie is still sort of a puppy so she has a ton of energy but she's big... The excitement concluded when I tackled Roxie and my friend picked up the puppy. I then took the pug home and Shane took Roxie home... or tried to. I ended up doing. Turns out a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old can't handle a golden retriever. So, guess who had to carry the dog home? Yep. I did. And that dog was heavy. Oh well... making memories;) Then we painted the swingset. Not much exciting there... although I did have to help Shane get his four-wheeler unstuck. You can see how dirty I got by going on twitter and checking the pic I posted. So that's how my Saturday went. I probably bored you to death with those very descriptive details but you know... I just couldn't resist;). Have a great night y'all!

Bring on the Weekend:D

Although it's rainy today I'm still planning on having an awesome weekend:D. I kinda wish it was still Friday though... then I have today to look forward to but it's not so I'm just gonna enjoy it:). So, have you looked at my blog list lately? My Dad's (He Must Increase, I Must Decrease) been posting pretty regularly (and yes I'm pretty shocked about that;)). My best friend Caroline (Days Go By) has been on her blog hardly at all... but hey she's been busy with school;). Mary Shelley (While I'm Waiting) has been pretty good about posting regularly:). My sister, Ashley(I just forgot the name of her blog... she changes it so many times I can't keep track;)) has been posting semi regularly;). Keep checking in on Jack to see how he's doing... it's pretty exciting just seeing how fast he's made all that progress... that kid is unstoppable. So, check my blog list regularly if you feel like it... or if you don't. ;) Have a great Saturday!

IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the weekend... mainly just because there's no school:D I spent my Friday night watching Call of the Wild Man, and Jessie:). Both shows were pretty great;). I also had a beast bowl ice cream with magic shell;) thanks to Caroline for telling me to go for it;). Really, really wish my girl had twitter... oh well... hopefully soon:). So my Saturday will be spent at the grandparents house and eating awesome food;) of course I'm gonna have to go run a few miles next week to work it off but it's worth it;). Hope y'all have a great weekend!!!! :D

btw.. would you like a good laugh? good. cause you're about to get one;)

A somewhat exciting Saturday night...

We had had a very interesting night last night... turns out it's a smart idea to have your septic tank pumped every three years... just sayin'. We found that out last night about 9 o'clock last night when I was in the shower. It's taken care of now... thankfully:). I had to go over to the nighbor's house and wash my hair but it's a small price to pay I guess... I mean it could've been worse right? And let's go ahead and face it... it's pretty funny;). My poor Daddy had to stay home from church this morning because the Roto-Rooter guy came out this morning. But the problem is solved now so we don't have to worry about it for 3 more years:). So that was the story of our somewhat exciting Saturday night:)

It's Thursday...

I kinda like Thursdays... mainly because Thursday means that Friday is tomorrow!!!!! Not that I'm excited about Friday or anything... well since you're probably bored already I thought I'd put up a few videos that I think will make you laugh:).

How I spend my Saturday:)

in answer to your question no you don't want to know;)

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.

Saturday...

Well, today is Saturday. The day is almost over. I can't that I'm sad that it's over because I had an awesome day! I woke up around 8ish and got ready and cut the grass for my Daddy. After that my Mother and I cleaned up my closet and put some stuff on my walls so that was good. Once we finished in my room (well, what can be done to it without a dresser...) I went out and blew off part of the driveway... I only did part because when I was about 1/2 way done Caroline got here so I stopped. Caroline got here around lunch time and we had a fun time playing Taboo after we ate lunch. And, of course, what day would be complete without laundry? Special thanks goes to Caroline for helping me with the massive mountain of clothes. It was greatly appreciated. Once we finished folding we played Mario Kart on our Wii and then made brownies. Don't worry... we ran after that to make up for the brownies:) Running makes me feel absolutely wonderful but I will talk about that later before I bore you to death. Well, I guess I'm gonna go so I can dry my hair while Caroline's getting a shower and then it's brownie time! Have a great night:)

Another Saturday Goes Down in the Books...

Well, actually Saturday isn't over yet... oh well:). I just got in from cutting the grass... I cleaned my little nasty self up and now I'm gettin' ready to go and study for my last Science and History tests! I can't believe Monday is my last day of school!!! Since school will be over very very soon I will hopefully have more time to update my blog... hopefully with more pictures than words:). I had my last piano practice on Wednesday, I had my last soccer practice on Thursday, and Monday will be my last day of school! Since everything is pretty much over for the summer I will have time to do things that I have been putting off... like organizing my closet again... cleaning out the garage for some extra cash... maybe washing the cars also to get some extra money:)... and hopefully I can do some soccer camps this summer. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go fishing on the river and swimming at my grandparents pool so hopefully I will be able to do that almost every weekend:). Well, I better go and study for my tests... hope y'all have a great day! :)

Friday Night...

Yesterday was my cousin's birthday... Last night was my cousins 'birthday party'... I say it like this but it wasn't really a party party... anyway.... We had a great time... well... at least I did:D We went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries and then we went to see Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader and it was amazing!!!!! I just can't wait to get that movie! If you're going to see make sure you see it in 3-D though... I think that helped it be so amazing:) Well, I should probably go and get ready for the day... a little bit late but I don't care because it's the first day of Christmas break!!!! Hope y'all have a great day!

Another Saturday Goes Down in the Books...

Well, here we are at the end of another Saturday. Today has been a good day for me:). This morning I had my last soccer game of the season and we won (our first win this season)! It's kinda pitiful but we tried... :) Then we came home and watched to OSU-Penn State game and OSU won! Go bucks! Now I am getting ready to watch the USC-Florida game which should be a very good game and it's also a very important game! I hope your Saturday has been a good one and if not, there's always tomorrow and we get to go to church! That should brighten up your day:) Goodnight!
