I decided that now is the time for a lyrics post. I'm not depressed or anything; I just want to say a few things and sometimes song lyrics do better than anything I could ever say.
Okay, so only one song, but it is possibly one of my most favorite songs of all time. Because right now I want to have someone that I can know that well and someone who can know me that well too.

In seven weeks a lot has happened, but honestly I can't remember it all. I started school; I spent a week at the ocean. Obviously too much to write about in one entry. Good thing I can't remember all of them. So here are the two topics that were listed above. I'll try to list them in chronological order.

Life has kind of been a little hectic of late, but I've been loving it. We had a wedding last Saturday and I had to work after that - what a long day! I got a cold this week, and I think it's finally going away.
This week is going to be another busy one. It's VBS week at church, which is always fun, hot and crazy (and not always in that order). But I'm getting a break from it on Wednesday when I go with my sister Samantha to NYC and her girl scout troop to see Mary Poppins!

Walking On Sunshine - Aly & AJ |
] |
I can't believe that this time last week my life was so different. First off, I didn't have a baby brother. Secondly, I wasn't going to be the maid of honor at my cousin Heather's wedding. And lastly and most shocking of all, I didn't think that Dan Howard would ever ask me on a "date" (or whatever it was) and then ask me another one for the following weekend. My life has gone totally upside down, and I'm loving it!

Some People Change - Kenny Chesney |
] |
Just as if this week/weekend could busier yet... I had to work from 8-3, graduation party from 3ish-5ish and a somewhat of a date with Dan Howard (only the most amazing guy ever) after the graduation party... I'm surprised that my head and heart didn't explode into a thousand pieces with all this emotion...
This was my longest entry ever!!!... Oh, but I forgot to mention one thing - My cousin Heather is now engaged to Andrew... which I have no decided to just be happy about... and celebrate with her by going to lunch on Tuesday and a little shopping afterward... Celebrating is a lot more fun than sulking!

Oh. My. Goodness. Can you believe that I finally have a brother?... that my family of five is now a family of six?... and the fact that watched him be brought into this world?! Its all amazing and surreal! First of all, the delivery was incredible. I know now that nursing would be an incredible field to go in to. Mom did amazing; she says its the weirdest feeling ever. And it was weird for me to watch it. Once I saw his head it was about 3 second until he was completely out. So cool! He weighed 8lb. and 14 oz. and he was 20 3/4 inches long. I think he's so cute, but that could be because I'm his sister. Well I'm going to go to the hospital so I can see him again!

So I totally stole this from Heather's facebook... but I thought it was great.
SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 movies, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 240 movies on this list.
I've only seen 65 of these 240 movies... that's roughly 27%... I guess I might have a life...

Great Is Thy Faithfulness - Selah |
] |
As I laid in my bed last night, I had a moment when I discovered that my plans for people aren't always the plans they have for themselves or the plans that God has for them. And not only that, but who I thought they were - they aren't. So here's the backstory: My cousin, Heather, turned 18 at the beginning of May; and she has this boyfriend that lives in Hawaii because he's stationed there as a Marine. She went and visited him during the beginning of April; which is all fine and well. But she's going to visit him again in August! Its her first boyfriend, and they are super serious. Our families don't have much money so I'm sure she's paying for it all by herself and going all by herself. I'm totally expecting to have her come back and be engaged. I just thought that she would be more sensible then to go off and jump off the deep end, but I have to remember that its her life. And just because she's getting married (most likely) it doesn't mean that she's throwing away her life. It's in God's plan for her, so why am I so disappointed?
I just got home from gratuation, and I'm so looking forward to my own. I just cannot wait to be on that stage getting my diploma. I guess that I just cannot wait to start the next chapter. In essence that is what I'm doing by starting my senior year. Senior year is going to be absolutely amazing, and I'm so looking forward to it.
I'm going to try to post a surveme here soon, but who knows!

I'm so sorry that I haven't updated, and I have no excuse at all. I recently finished school on the 30th of May, and I couldn't be happier. I didn't have to take any finals and that thrills my soul as well. We've had some exciting events take place in the time since I've updated last and I decided that I will write a little about them.
Looking back on it, it was a lot of fun. But it kinda just seems like a lot of work for just a couple of hours. I've been watching a lot of wedding shows since school has been done and I decided that I really don't want to have a big wedding, maybe no wedding at all - just run away to Las Vegas. Then I decided that its kinda selfish to do that, but I don't want a huge wedding at all. I'll have to talk to my future husband and we'll discuss it...

Seventeen... that's how many days it's been since I last updated. It feels like nothing has happened; but, honestly, I know a lot has.
So through various romantic movies I watched while "recovering" I realized love isn't some fairy tale that you see in movies. It doesn't just happen. But I also realized that I don't want to settle, and I honestly think that's kind of what my parents did. My parents have a wonderful marriage, and I want to be happy like them one day. Daddy and Mom always told me never to settle, but they did and they're happy. So why am I so scared of it?

Not much change since my last post... my "friend" still isn't talking to me and that makes me sad... Can someone become depressed just from someone not talking to them?...
On a happier note, Andrea Cole, my mother, my sisters and I all went shopping for Baby Registry... way too much fun!... combine five girls and a scanner gun, and you've got so much fun, it shouldn't even be legal!... But it is! - Don't you love this country!...
And then today, Katie, Luke, Brittany, Mrs. White and I all went shopping for Jr/Sr stuff... and I think we got a lot accomplished... and again, a lot of fun!...
I had to leave shopping early because Nate was having a party, and I was planning on going... so the party it was fun because Samantha was there, and she was the only person that talked to me the whole time... and some adults, but none of the boys!... I think its a theme... so Samantha and I aren't even sure if it was actually a party... we're still deciding what to call it though...

The Healing Kind - Leann Womack |
] |
This will be a short post. Basically... because not much has changed in the last couple days. But other that, I kinda had a deep moment today, and it happened during Chemistry and continued into History. The average person who reads this might not get all that I'm talking about, but a few will totally understand...
Whoa, reading that over again, I seem like a really resentful and hateful person... but I truly love (not romantic love, but deeply care about) that person and that's what makes me sad... And I think that when this person would realize that they have hurt me, they'll be sorry... and all will be fine and so will I... right?

Hey all... well let's see... its been about, well, a LONG time since I have updated... I had a ton of stuff going on these last couple of weeks, that's kind of why I didn't update...
So anyway, I have little stress going on until my foot surgery on April 5th... which is shocking and scary at the same time... but tomorrow, I have a secret mission of my own, that I'm not sure I can accomplish - but I'll try... I'll let you know how it goes...

in Me - Casting Crowns |

I haven't updated in a while, but its not because I've been busy - because I haven't been... I've been off of school for last week, and I actually I've accomplished a lot during that week... Christina Joy came over on Sunday night until Monday evening... and it was way to much fun... and the rest of the week flew by in a blur, but I had this list of things I wanted to accomplish and I accomplished them all... so that's good, right?
We had the NYPENN Tournament at Davis last weekend and it went well I guess... we held our own against Ross Corners for the first quarter, and then we let them slip through our fingers... and we did the same with Summit... but Twin Tiers beat the undefeated Ross Corners, and I need to personally thank Ashleigh DePue for that one...
I had a lot of drama with Seth earlier this week, but he called last night and we got it all straightened out... So I'm so elated and pleased that he totally views us as just friends... it makes we feel so comfortable around him again... even more comfortable than before...
Well I have my very first Chemistry quiz tomorrow and an Algebra II Test and a whole long list of things to do too... so I had better study and do th ethings on my list...

Lifesong - Casting Crowns |
] |
Does anyone know the tradition behind Valentine's Day?... Well Mr. Willson told us yesterday during Algebra II... It was a pagan holiday that involoved men drawing a woman's name from a box, and the woman who they drew was his slave for a year... and why do we celebrate that?...
Today was really quite nice, really quiet... even though Whitney was here all day!... I slept in until 9:00 for the first time in about 6 months... Daddy got home from work and made us all breakfast, and we lounged and watched LOST... then I was bored so I cleaned my room and the basement and cleaned out my desk... The store closed early today, so I don't have to go to work!... played rummy with Mom and watched Oprah... and while we were watching I felt little Benjamin David kick in Mom's belly... it was such an amazing feeling - like he's real now and he's actually there!...
Its almost dinner time, so I had better go help out... I'll let you know if I get any phone calls from any boys named Seth...

So I'm so so glad to we have a snow day tomorrow!... I mean Valentine's Day is the best day of the year to have a snow day... Have I mentioned that God has amazing timing?... Today was actually not the best day on record, but it definitely wasn't the worst either...
Today starts out just like any other day: wake up at 6:00 and close Ashley, Samantha and Mom's bedroom doors and unlock the door for Whitney to come in at 6:15; go back to bed until 6:30; do devotions, and study for Chemistry test; get dressed and ready for school; leave for the bus around 7:45; get to school around 8:20. Then came Bible class with Mrs. T; which was amazing as usual. We started James today, and that book is just full of amazing, convicting stuff that I could read for the rest of life and still never accomplish. Then came English with Mrs. Campbell which was fine, because we did nothing but eat chocolate chip cookie left over from the fundraiser. Jordan gave a devotion and it was about trials, very applicable. Then came my favorite class of the day - Algebra II with Mr. Willson! We have way too much fun in that class, and today was really easy - quadratic formula with imaginary numbers. So then study hall with Mrs. Krewson! Today I got a carnation from Christina Joy! (Thanks again, hun!) Then I studied for my Health Test with Ashley, Katie, Samantha and Dani. Then came lunch, and since it is Tuesday - I had lunch with Christina Joy. And we talked about deep things that made my day bad because I kept dwelling on them.
Dwelling is good and bad, because dwelling can help you analyze a situation, but it can also help over-analyze it too... but at least today I was honest with myself and God has blessed me with a Snow Day tomorrow... Thank you, God...
