Carnival

Hey Guys! Today was our carnival at school. It was OK.  I just hung out with friends and did whatever. Tomorrow is our last day of school this week. I am so excited! Then this weekend I get to hang out with my friends and just have fun. But until then I have to babysit my little brother all week b/c my mom is out of town and my dad is working. I hate it sometimes but It's kinda cool cause I have the house to my self. Well..... gotta go. Talk to you later.

Permit!

Hey everyone!  Today has been a great day; I got my permit! I know to some it is not that big of a deal,but because of what I have been through with these "Government" people I am truly thrilled. So here's my story of bad luck. On my 15th birthday like every other normal teenager I had planned to get my permit. I mean, I had all the papers that need to be signed; all I had to do was walk in and take the test and pass, so I thought. I get to the patrol station and come to find out I had left my birth certificate at home, so I go back home. But I can't find it any where. I'm a little disappointed that this was taking so long ;I go down town, get a copy of the certificate, and go back to the people at the station. Ah.. but of corse there has to be another problem. There wasn't a form from my school, and this is the middle of summer. Still disappointed I just went home and acted like it was no big deal. Finally, school starts and I get the form, but now there is another problem (by this point I am getting sick of these people who keep finding problems). I did not have one of the papers signed by my mother, and notarized by whom ever. So I go home ... disappointed.... again. Ha so yesterday I go back to the station I have everything now, I am sure. And the lady tells me that testing ended at 3:30 and the present time was 3:35.........aghhhh. 

But finally after all my bad luck, today I passed with fly colors!

Fair fair fair!

Hey everyone!! I am wondering if any of you guys went to the fair this weekend. I did and it was a BLAST! So my friends and I went to the fair and rode a lot of the rides, met strangers, made new friends, and concurring some fears. All the rides were a lot more fun than what I had expected, I am scared of most of the rides there but Ele, Moped, and some other friends talked me on them and then when I was on them. I was so nervous that something might happen to the ride, and it didn't really help that one person always said, "What could go wrong?".  Yeah thats not funny! But one thing that was funny was these random, crazy cups that I saw, and I had to ask the people where they got them. It's so funny to go up to a random stranger and ask them a question, or start a conversation. I LOVE doing that ask anyone. The only thing I didn't love was the Ferris Wheel. I concurred my fear though... Yay Me!!  The ferris Wheels have always scarred me... I can't help it.  But then Moped pointed out that zip ties and safety pins were holding the Ferris Wheel and the upside down ride thing together, I panicked. Yeah I don't think I will ever be riding those rides again!

Oh yeah! A new member has been adopted into my family...... some carnival worker ( didn't catch his name, but he was friendly).

Life Changes

Hey guys!! The Fall Out was a blast. DD was telling you about her life changes and I made some too. The skit also convicted me. When we put God aside for other things it's wrong. I do it all the time. I need to learn to be ale to sacrifice thing for God.  God had been tugging at my heart for something and convicting me for the past for day and I asked Him to show me what he was asking of me and he did.  I was saved and I am a "good person" and everything but I am not a "Christian". I go to Church and everything, but I don't carry out those lessons after its over or anything. I learned so much and I want to seek God and His plan for my life... not my own. I want to be able to sacrifice thing for him. My teacher gave me a daily a bread so i cans tart getting into the process of reading my Bible more and having devotions and she said once I start to do that and pray more and more God will start to show me things and work in my life. I need God and I am so happy that this happened. I want to live for God and thats what I am going to do. If anyone as any question about salvation or anything about God you can ask me. I would love to help you. =]=]=]

Fallout!!

Hey everyone, sorry the post haven't  been coming in that much. I have a lot to tell you guys. Today was Fallout, it was so much FuNn!! We got up early and headed out to I think it's called "For  the Kingdom" camp grounds; were they had a bunch of cool things like a zip line, giant swing, canoeing, basketball, and volleyball courts. The one thing Ele and I knew we wanted to do was the giant swing, but Ele and I were in the line for almost a hour an a half, and gave up. (We never rode the zip line, heights just aren't my thing.)  So we decided to go canoeing, but there was a BIG, HUGE PROBLEM! Ele didn't want to get her shoes wet, and even when she found out that we didn't have to wear them she still didn't want to get wet. So I went ( sorry Ele =[[) and got soaked, I was really wanting to tip the thing but the teachers threatened to close the canoes, so that didn't happen. While Ele is talking with our friends GG &BB, I am going around giving people nasty lake water hugs, and I see Moped and Scooter.  I decided that I was going to give Moped a big wet hug, but it back fired. He was dripping wet with sweat from playing soccer with the other guys, so he rubbed it all over my neck, arms, etc. Even though I was already wet, it was still gross! But after all that fun it was time to get serious, with our relationship with God. We all went inside this building and played this cool game where you tell someone why you love them.... it was interesting. So after that we sang some songs that really got me happy, joyous, cheery, and uplifting sprit, I loved it!  Then our wonderful speech teacher  got up on the stage and did a skit that convicted me so much I cried at the end, because for the first time I understood what I was doing to My LORD and Savior when I don't obey him or when I don't include him in my life and go in the wrong direction. That skit hit me so hard, I couldn't believe it!! So after the life changing skit I realized, what the speaker was talking about. I mean I knew but I didn't think it applied to me...but it did. I have gone around for many years having two personalities: 1) Church attitude. I played being a christian told people I was a christian and told myself I was a christian.... 2) Out of church attitude. I blew off everything I had learn that Sunday  or Wednesday in church.  But no more am I going to do that, today I learned something incredible and I am going to carry it with me for the rest of my life!!

LoVe yOu gUyS,

Fall Out

Hey Guys! Sorry we haven't blogged in a while. I just got out of Church. GUESS WHAT... we get out of school tomorrow. Our school is having Fall Out. We get to go to this place and Learn about God and also do like fun activities. It's going to be awesome! =] We have to be at school really early and get back later than we would normally get out of school. I can't wait. Today was so funny because DD was fake flirting with our friend GG's brother. It was hilarious cause he is so much younger. She was winking at him and stuff. Not too much but it was funny. Speaking of school, after school was out i tried putting a new shelf in. I had to take all my books out and I made this kid in my class hold them (the same person I pick-pocketed) I couldn't get my old shelf out so since we couldn't he broke it. It was kinda funny cause he was like, " Can i just break it?!?!", so i let him. my new shelf isn't  so strong so I hope it doesn't break! ha =] Well, I'll "see" you guys later.

No Talking

(BTW. CHECK OUT OUR FRIENDS BLOG =] ITS CALLED MOPED AND SCOOTER. THE LINK IS AT THE LEFT. )  Hey Guys! So today at school we all got in trouble at lunch and were told not to talk. Well first the principle said not to be so loud and to whisper like three times..... then after those 3 times he said we couldn't talk the rest of the day or tomorrow at lunch. UUUGGG it stinks not talking B/C that's like our only time to talk at school. I guess it's all our fault though, but I think the sixth graders were louder than us.

Br proud..... I pick-pocketed someone today!!! haha=] OK here's what happened. We were trying to get this kids wallet out of his pocket so finally, on the way to last period, I got it out of his pocket and he didn't notice for a while. It was sooo funnnyy!!! BUt dOnT PiCk- pOckEt. SomE OnE MighT GeT mAd aT yOu.

Interesting day & PaRtY!!!

Ha ok today has been .....interesting. I finally meet my new Bible Fellowship Leader, and WOW can that woman talk, she talked with my grandparents for like an hour after class ended and still wasn't done talking.....but I love her anyways!! Oh and here is the kicker, I got in trouble cause my phone (which I don't have cause it's broken) doesn't have any ringtones that I like, so I keep it on vibrate. Well the grandparents don't like that so now its a rule my volume on my phone has to be on the highest level at all times, or my phone gets taken from me.....do you think thats stupid? Oh well I guess I will live!

Last night I went to a friend from church's party....So mUcH FuNn!!! This girl can throw a party, we swam, ate, hung out, danced a little, etc. First high school party of the year I give you an 8!!
