Wow!

Wow!! I haven't posted for like two months!! Well, life has been busy, mostly with school! It seems like this fall will be the busiest ever!

I'm doing a play class, with a bunch of awesome people, and I'll be starting a swing dance class in a couple of days! So it's not bad busy, but fun busy! I'm not taking any college classes this fall, because my birthday is Sept. 1, so I was just born a few days to late! I'm still not sure if I'll be taking any in the spring either, but I haven't decided yet! So that's what's going on in my life!

Hey! I'm posting again!!! YAY! I have an excuse though. We started school on Monday, so I've been pretty busy with that. Anyway, I had a ton of fun at the Youth Day on Saturday!! It was so great to see everyone again and to "meet" new people! I hope they have something like that again soon! Haha, I *heart* exclamation points! That's it for now. I need to download some pictures from yesterday, and I'll post some if they're any good. Adios!

Tada!

Hey all! Yes, I know I'm posting again! Anyway, not a whole lot going onb right now. Yesterday, we went to a friends house and helped them paint, which basically took most of the day. Then I babysat, and got home and went to bed! Other than that, I've doing a lot of reading. I'm reading Little Women and Respectable Sins for a couple of book studies I'm doing with friends. I've also been doing some sewing. I'll try to get a picture posted when I'm finished. That's it!

I suppose I should post again :p

I know, I know, I haven't posted for almost a month. I don't have any excuse, but that I really didn't want to take the time to post (yes, all of 3 minutes)! Anyway, I've been doing a lot of sewing and reading, and we brought out the legos again, so I've been playing with those as well. I guess now I'll post some random pictures!

Duke, my kitten!

Thyme (I know, random!)

A fairy throne. Yes this is an actual picture I took in our front yard!

Ahhhh...

I've not forgotten I have a blog! It's just been really busy around here : D I'll try to recap what's been happening the last couple weeks or so.

First of all, I got my hair cut, I think it was three weeks ago. They took off 4-6 inches, but it was really long to begin with, so now it's about an inch below my sholders, and it's very layered. I really like it. Then, on June 6, was Grace Community's high school graduation. Since there are only two juniors, some of the sophmores and their parents were helping. Mom was in charge of the reception. Then we went up to the mountains with some dear friends of ours. We got up there Thursday, biked about 19 miles Friday, then got home around lunch time Saturday. Then we had our monthly youth event at our house. We ran an obstacle course, roasted hot dogs and smores on a bonfire, and then played Frisbee for about a hour or so. Then on Sunday, we had church, and that evening we had Care Group. We didn't do a normal meal and meeting this time. Instead we went to the Concert on the Green in Davidson, and most of the teens, including me, played about another hour of frisbee. Needless to say, I was sore for most of yesterday, but am feeling much better now! So that's basically all that's been going on!

Child Tales

Here's some stort stories about children's views. Enjoy!



A Sunday school teacher was teaching her class about the difference between right and wrong.
"All right children, let's take another example," she said. "If I were to get into a man's pocket and take his billfold with all his money, what would I be?"
Little Johnny raises his hand, and with a confident smile, he blurts out, "You'd be his wife!"




Happiness Is In Your Outlook
A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom & gloom pessimist.
Just to see what would happen, on Christmas their father gave the pessimist the most expensive, fanciest toy he could find. For the optimist he gift-wrapped a box of horse manure.
The next morning the father came downstairs and found the pessimist sitting in front of his opened present crying bitterly.
"Why are you crying?" the father asked.
"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toy will eventually get broken." answered the pessimist twin.
Seeing the optimist, who was dancing for joy in front of the crate of manure, he asked, "What are you so happy about?"
To which the optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony around here somewhere!"





A 4-year-old boy was asked to give the meal blessing before Christmas dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his prayer, thanking God for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food. He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the Cool Whip.
Then he paused, and everyone waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank God for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?"

10 Reasons Not to Wash

In one church, the pastor, apparently fed up with all the excuses given over the years as to why people don't go to church, applied the same excuses in a different context to show how silly they were. Church-goers the following Sunday got a bulletin that included "Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash."

1.I was forced to as a child.

2.People who wash are hypocrites -- they think they are cleaner than everybody else.

3.There are so many different kinds of soap, I can't decide which one is best.

4.I used to wash, but I got bored and stopped.

5.I wash only on special occasions, like Christmas and Easter.

6.None of my friends wash.

7.I'll start washing when I get older and dirtier.

8.I can't spare the time.

9.The bathroom is never warm enough in winter or cool enough in summer.

10.People who make soap are only after your money.

Busted!

This is a great reminder to always be on our "guard." Remember, others are watching!

Busted!
A woman pulled up to a red light behind another car. The driver of the car in front of her was talking on his cell phone, and shuffling through some papers on the seat beside him.
The light turned green, but the man didn't notice. The woman began pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man still didn't move.
The woman went ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dashboard.
The light turned yellow. The woman blew the car's horn repeatedly, as she yelled and screamed curses at the man.
The man finally noticed the commotion. He looked up, saw the yellow light, and accelerated through the intersection just as the light turned red.
The woman was beside herself, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant she heard a tap on her window and looked into the face of a very serious looking policeman.
The policeman told her to shut off her engine and step out of the car. The red-faced woman obeyed, speechless at what was happening.
The policeman then arrested the woman and took her to the police station where she was booked and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours the woman was escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer was waiting with her personal effects.
The policeman handed her the bag containing her things, and said, "I'm really sorry for this mistake. But you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn and screaming and cursing. Then I noticed the *Choose Life* license plate holder, the *Follow Me to Sunday School* bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally I assumed that you had stolen the car. Have a blessed day!"

So...

I know. I haven't posted for a while. Not much has be going on except for school, chores, ect. I was going to try to do a mosaic thing, but my computer wouldn't let me. I'm on the computer, that doesn't have the pictures, so I'll try to post some Thursday, since we have TOG on Wednesday.

...

Allright, I was going to post some random pictures, but the downloader thing isn't working, so maybe later...

Tea Party

Our TOG went to the Charlotte tea party. If you didn't hear about it, it was a "peaceful" protest to government spending. It was very interesting. I didn't hear any of the speakers names, but they sure had a lot to talk about. Anyway, here a some of the pictures I took.

Here is our group photo!

Bad Sign

Since nothing very exciting is going on, or at least now, I guess I'll just post my last piece of flair!

Yikes!

Ahhhh... I haven't posted for like a week. I've been VERY busy with school and life in general. So nothing profound to say, just didn't want it to seem like I was forgetting I had a blog! I'll try to post some pictures later, but we'll see...

Monetize

I was wondering if you all had seen the monetize thing on the dashboard. I don't think I'm going to do it it, I was just wondering what you thought of the whole idea.

Romeo

I decided to "adopt" a new virtual pet. They didn't have gerbils, so I picked a fox and named him Romeo. Scroll down on the side bar to see him. He's so cute and you can feed him and everything.
If you want to adopt a pet, it's really easy, and you don't have to feed them every day!

Silence is golden...

Pretty straight forward. Just the way I like it!

I'm posting again!

Yay! I don't really have anything to say. I'm going to be posting some pictures soon, so keep checking!

Wow. I haven't posted for like a week. Sorry :(

Anyway, things at our house have been crazy. We spent most of last week doing deep spring cleaning and switching rooms. Then we found out on Friday we had a showing on Saturday, so we had to do a bit more cleaning. Then we had care group on Sunday, and now we have a bug going around at our house. Other then that things are the same... =D
