And I forgot to mention that I now have some pigmentation in my skin! I may have an awkward tank topish tan, but it is a little bit of color! And I have "Party All the Time" by Eddie Murphy stucki in my head. Thanks, Eddie.

Contrary to popular belief, I have not fallen off the face of the planet! I'm still alive, I've just been gone for two weeks straight. First, I went off to change the world in Jonseboro. I has an amazing time. We had 5 people from our youth group on our crew (Chris Jordan, Andy, Anna, and Laura), which is very odd, but it turned out to be a lot of ( Read more... )

This doesn't have anything to do with my mission trip, but I am so thankful I have great relationships with my parents, especially my mom. So I come back from Jonesboro exhausted (funny...I still am!) and kinda cranky, but she's still her sweet self. She puts up with so much from me and my siblings, yet she's still the same caring mom. And I can ( Read more... )

I wake up this morning to find my little sister Rachel watching TV with a tissue box full of money. She apparently counts her money (which is mostly one dollar bills) while watching TV. She's a scrooge. That just struck me as funny ( Read more... )

I went to my first 7]22 tonight, and I absolutely loved it! Louie Giglio is not only hilarious, but he's an amazing speaker. He really keeps you interested, and since I get really distracted sometimes, it was a goood thing. The summer series is about the other side of grace, and how God is loving, but He's also so holy. It was really interested. So ( Read more... )

I'm officially going to be a member of the Redcoat Marching band!

First of, I love my job. Today, I went to work and my boss (who's not really my boss, but the real boss's sister) had brought in sausage biscuits. I had to ask if I could take ANOTHER week off and she eagerly said that I should. You see, I wanted to be a counselor at this children's camp Camp Icthus for quite some time. I've been a CIT (counselor- ( Read more... )

I'm back from that magical place known as Disney World. And it was fantastic, or should I say Fantasmic! Wow, that was a bad joke. So Disney World was a blast. It was a great way to start my summer. I keep trying to remember everything that happened so I can tell my family, but I keep forgetting everything. I wish I took more pictures, but I figure ( Read more... )

I am now a graduate of Duluth High school! Graduation was today, and it was...good. Good, but long. The student speakers were great ( I loved Sophia's speech!) and the adults were...not so good. But,it's over and I still don't think that it's hit me that we're actually leaving. It's weird for me to think that next year I won't be going to ( Read more... )

I am officially down with high school. Now all I have to do is walk at the Arena! While this is exciting, it's also kind of sad. I'm ready to gradaute, but I'm not positive if I'm ready to go to college and live on my own. I'm fairly independent and take care of myself, but still. I'm gonna miss lots of things that are here, like my family and ( Read more... )
