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!

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.

Memorial Day Weekend

I'm doing post for Memorial Day early because I don't know if I will have time this weekend.

Why do we celebrate Memorial Day? I mean really think about it. The first thing that comes to my mind is my Daddy and my grandpa. All the people in my family that have served and some even given the ultimate sacrifice. I think of all the soldiers who never came home, and those left to carry on and finish what they started. A soldier's honor is not about who wins the war... it's about how they fought. Bravely, self-lessly, courageously. That is how you earn honor. They fight for our freedom without expecting anything in return. And look at us, praising singers and actors for their great talents. Have any of them ever been willing to die for you? I'm not trying to degrade any of those people or offend them or anything like that... I'm just trying to make a point. Millions of people are dying to meet a certain sing/celebrity but how many people are dying to shake hands and say 'thank you' to a soldier? This is not something that I take lightly... there's enough people doing that already. It's time for us to stand up and honor those who have fallen, honor those who have fought, honor those who have been willing to give their life for you. Don't let that be in vain. Memorials are great but if there's no heart in them, no respect, no gratitude don't do anything at all. They put their heart and life into saving your freedom can't you at least say thanks?

Pray for those who are still fighting... and the families of those who are now resting. God bless America.

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:)

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!

Hello Weekend:D

It seems like I only do posts (besides my Verse of the Day) on weekends. Sorry about that. I just don't really have time during the week with school but I will try to do better:) So, I had a violin recital last night... I was pretty nervous but it ended up going great. And I got pictures and a video for you so you can see how fun it was;). On Monday (at least I think it was Monday) I got 108.29% on my geography test:D I was physched:) and still am:D:D:D:D:D:D you couldn't tell could you??? ;) Well, here's some pictures:)

the video is still uploading to youtube so as soon as that's done I'll post the link here:)

Good Morning Saturday:)

I've missed Saturday ever so much. And I have a feeling I'm not the only one;). I know of at least one other person who was ready for the weekend...;). Got any awesome plans for the weekend? Wanna hear mine???????????? haha if you don't you might as well go ahead and stop reading now:P. But we're going to the movies and Radio Shack cause I need a mic for my keyboard and we're going to Garden Ridge cause my Mommy has some returns.

Last Saturday we were moving our old living room furniture to another (empty) house with a borrowed trailer. (Thank goodness for neighbors!) Because on Friday my Mother bought a awesome new sectional couch and they were going to deliver it on Saturday. Now our living room and is almost completely done and it looks awesome;). I'll post some pics soon:) and I'll post some of my bedroom... seems how I kinda forgot to do that a while ago... oh well;) Have a great weekend guys!

Friday, February 17, 2012

Well, I haven't been very faithful with my "Verse of the Day" this week... I've been super busy. I mean I've still been doing my devotions. Just because I was busy doesn't mean I haven't been reading my Bible... I still do that everyday but I haven't had time to post on my blog. Lord willing, I should be doing those daily again next week.

I haven't been up to much other than school. Except, of course, music. I can't go very long without playing my piano or my violin. It's actually quite addicting after you play for a while;). I had a really good workout yesterday. Just me, my iPod, my soccer ball, and my backyard. It was a whole lot of fun. I was reminded of my love for soccer. I actually found myself laughing and then figured I better stop before the neighbors start to think I'm weird;). Although, I've been living here for almost 6 years... if they we're gonna think I was weird it would've happened a long time ago;).

I've enjoyed my Friday. Although, I'm starting to get sick... woke up with a sore throat. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow with no sore throat;). That would be so nice... When I was sick (less than two months ago) I felt like I was going to turn into an orange I drank so much orange juice. Oh well... :) Well, in case you're completely bored to death (which is entirely likely) I thought I might put some pictures I haven't posted yet. Have a great night! :)

<3Bre

two of my awesome cousins, Jaycee and Jordan<3

JAYCEE <3

my sweet, precious parents:)

this is what happens when you attempt to play football with my Daddy.... ;)

Yeah...

I just realized that most of my posts that have no meaning have ... in the title... and a lot  in the posts;) Well, anyways... Last night was pretty awesome. Our youth group had to set up for the banquet we're having tonight... we had a blast. We ate pizza and drank cherry coke and had an amazing devotion (thank you Mr. Kevin!!!). After that MK and I sewed some of the centerpieces for the tables while watching the hilarious skits the boys are doing... it was hilarious. Then we all got to make lasagna... and yes it is still edible. ;) It looked amazing and I'm sure it tastes amazing too;). I'm sure tonight is gonna be tons of fun:). Well, since you're probably bored now... why don't you scroll down? I'm sure it'll make you laugh;).

Goodnight Everyone...

It's feels really weird going to be this early on a Saturday night... but it's a good thing. Maybe I'll actually get up in enough time to eat breakfast before we leave for church instead of in the car on the way to church... ;). Well, if you saw my twitter updates you're probably wondering what in the world I was talking about. Hopefully all of you will know exactly what pretty soon... oh the suspense. ;) jk. I did write another song and this one actually has words:). I got the sheet music printed up today but that was just the rough draft... I hope to have it completely finished by the end of the week. :) So, no more wondering... that's what it was about:). Hope y'all have a great night and a great Sunday! :)

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!

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:)

How I spend my Saturday:)

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

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!
