Turns out Tuscaloosa was well worth the trip. THE PATRIOT PAGES IS AN ALL-ALABAMA NEWSPAPER! That means we're one of the top 5 high school newspapers in the state. Sparkman's only a superior paper, tehe. We also won some other stuff....it's so amazing. :D We were all very, very happy.

Yesterday was crazy busy but so much fun. Met up with Cory and ( Read more... )

:D Today has been a pretty good day. School wasn't anything I couldn't handle, and I watched TV after school for a couple of hours while pretending I knew what my Chemistry homework meant. I'm really liking the fact that I only have a three day week. And I've already got one down. Two to go! I can do it ( Read more... )

District is tomorrow, then I'm off to the PURITY RETREAT!!! I'm excited; I haven't been on a retreat since the back to school one freshman year. It should be grand fun. However, I must do laundry now so that I have clothes to wear this weekend.

BARLOW GIRL IS SUNDAY NIGHT AT 6!! DOORS OPEN AT 5:30...IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!

:D

This is the calmest state of mind I've been in all night. Amazing, since I still haven't worked through my crap. But I've helped clear up some things between friends, so I'm definitely feeling better about life as I know it. I just wish I could talk to someone else about stuff. Or better yet, that he would talk to me. Now wouldn't that be something ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I got the best secret Valentine present of all from Rick. He leans over, plops a coconut on my desk, and says, "Happy Valentine's Day." It was amazing! I just about died from laughter. Everyone around us was cracking up, too. He made me promise to do something cool with it, like make pina coladas with the coconut ( Read more... )

Tonight, Ashley and the rest of my Sunday night group surprised me, Ella, and Brenda with a yellow rose apiece and a cookie cake to celebrate our birthdays. Plus Caroline (my valentine!) gave me a little teddy bear and a thing of chocolates. I'm glad things are okay between us; I wasn't sure after yesterday. But we're both good now. I feel so loved ( Read more... )

Again. My friends are absolutely, positively AMAZING! Okay, so I kinda knew, but didn't. Ella is so completely awesome for throwing me a surprise party. I'm still in awe of it all...wow. I had a really good time. :) It just makes me smile. They rented the moon bounce place out! We got to jump on the moon bounce and slide thing for an hour! Plus we ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend was definitely NOT boring...I'm just happy we're all alive and breathing. It makes me smile. :) So around 10 today in Chemistry, I realized how much I have going on this week. I'm trying to brace myself for it and take it one day at a time ( Read more... )

Everybody's out of town...almost. Ella has the flu. Caroline, Cory, Nathan, and I planned a great Sunday school lesson. Only to find out that Ella has the flu and we can't surprise her on her birthday. :( Maybe God will show us a better plan. Hopefully. It's been kinda nice just hanging out today. My mom and sister are in Atlanta, my aunt's at work ( Read more... )

"Making out isn't kissing...okay, yeah, it is. But kissing isn't making out! Ha! See! There's the catch ( Read more... )
