All I have to say is....

Good news!

I finished my first story! :) yay!

Lots of awkward moments today at school..... today was well an interesting day, that's for sure! :P

well....

When I'm having a bad day I can always count on April, Turner, and Brian to make it interesting....

Interesting day....

When I got on the bus this afternoon I still had my glasses on from hurrying from my last class and I got on and the bus driver looked at me and said, "Wrong bus."
"Nope this is my bus," I replied, nodding my head.
"Oh! I didn't recognize you with your glasses on!" the bus driver laughs.
Really?

Also this guy asked who I was going to ask to the winter dance.
"I'm not asking anyone," I said ready for him to leave me a lone (typically I'm not that rude to people, but 1 this guy gets on my nerves and 2 I find him somewhat annoying).
"Why not?" He said.
"I don't wanna go," I replied.
"But everyone wants to go," he protested.
"Not me," I said, "I just don't wanna go."
"Yeah, sure...whatever... I know you, and you are just too chicken to ask someone."
"Am not!" I said, "There isn't anyone here that I want to ask, therefore I'm not going."
He stands there for a second then pulls my best guy friend over and says, "Here ask him."
"No! I said I'm not asking anyone!" I say.
My other friend, who just got pulled into this conversation looks from me to the guy I'm almost arguing with and then asks, "Ask me what?"
"Nothing," I blurted out. Then we went on with the conversation for a few more minutes while I tried to tell these two guys that I wasn't going to the dance and that was final.
When I thought my day couldn't get any weirder this guy that sits at the same lunch table comes up to me and puts his arm around me. This causes me to try and get out of his grasp, but he wouldn't let go and continues to discuss with me how I have "beautiful eyes" and then we keep discusses this as he walks down the hallway all the way to the end of the hallway only to turn and walk the complete opposite way.... why I chose guys as best friends I'm not so sure?

Well......

Noah and I had to get glasses... :/ Noah looks absolutely adorable, but I just look like a dork... sigh.

friendship...

Two quotes today:

serious... "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light."

and not so serious... "Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

:)

I want a guy to say...

"The only thing I will ever change about you is your last name and the only other girl I'll ever love is our daughter."




Is that too much to ask?

All I have to say is...

From now on Dad is in charge of picking the books I read... :)


"Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say."

So...

I went to the library today and was in the Young Adult Christian Fiction section and I was taking so long Dad finally just grabbed two books and handed them to me telling me those were the ones I was going to read... :)

Well,

I was contemplating on what quote I should put on here.. Then I decided that it's important to share just how interesting my school lunch group is. No matter how I feel going into lunch I always know I will smile or have something to laugh about.

So today there will be no new quote only because I don't feel like posting one... Great reason I know right?

The movie Courageous comes out tonight and I am so excited! :) I want to see that SO bad! I'm reading the book right now and it's amazing! As in some parts you are laughing so hard and sometimes your face probably looks a little like..... 0.o or 0.0

Enjoy your weekend :)

"Real eyes realized real lies..."

school dances...

What is the point of school dances anyway? Heartbreak? The feeling of Rejection? The stressfulness of finding that "perfect" dress? The sweet two or three hours where you have fun until one person trips and falls into the punch bowl and ruins that once perfect dress? The blissfulness of feeling like you could be on top of the world until you realize it's just your platform styled heels that you can't walk in? The satisfaction of having heads turn your way?

School dances are pointless to me... If you can't already tell. :P

Nerd day...

This week is Pep week at school, which I think is stupid in the first place, but what makes it worse is that we have "Nerd Day"

Nerd day to me is pointless.... why do we have a nerd day, but not a jock day??? or Emo day? Why is it only the nerds that get a day where they pretty much get made fun of by the whole school and the teachers encourage it???

...

but the question is... Do you?

school :/

only eight more days till torture begins... just kidding it probably won't be that big of a deal, but you know how it goes... Only 8 days till school starts I can't believe it. This summer has gone by fast, but it seems like it lasted forever. It's hard to explain that feeling. When going back, Caleb Grimm of Anthem Lights says it best, "Just remember who you are and remember whose you are."

Have fun enjoying the last week of summer...

old people and holiday world

Kind of an odd topic I know, but that's how I am.... Well--technically speaking--I'm even because of my age, but that isn't what I wanted to talk about anyway.
Yesterday we went to Holiday World as a family! It was fun! I got my dad to ride the Voyage with me! :) That was funny! haha We found out Noah is absolutely 100% FEARLESS!!! :D He was at the top of the hill on the Voyage turned around in his seat waving like a maniac at my mom and sister, Ali, who were down on the ground. Then once we were off my dad said that when we started to go down the first hill Noah was tapping Dad's shoulder.
The old people thing is because I just got done working at my neighbors house, and she paid me by giving me a Blake Shelton CD. I had worked for roughly an hour and a half. haha She is funny.

The end...

of summer is coming fast. Sadly. I only realized this when I ordered my school backpack...

:/

"Sometimes, you got to teach yourself how to get up from a hard fall... because if you call for someone's help... they just might push you back down.... "

What my summer looks like...

Sorry for the picture being blurry... This was taken on my phone.

Summer...

is going by WAY too fast! I wish summer could last till I want it to be over! :) Wishful thinking I know, but whatever! :) Since the last time I got on here I got a haircut. :/ I don't like it, but oh well it's just hair. I went to a cardinals game! :) Had a blast! Found out I will get a laptop next Friday! :) Enough for now! :)

Shoot for the moon; if you don't make it you will land among the stars!

Drama Camp!

Today was the first day of drama camp! When I got there I was so nervous... There were only 60 kids from 3-8th grade.... only three 8th graders, counting me. :) I made two new friends though, so that's good. They aren't in the 8th grade though... I'm learning a dance routine for a song from Hairspray and singing a song from Pippin also The Lion King! Excited!

I get to see Karen Kingsbury tomorrow! Super Excited! :)

Band Practice/Rehearsal...

I was blessed enough to get to see some awesome band practice! It was fantastic! FANTASTIC! I even got to take some video, but shhh... I wasn't supposed to! lol So the moment you have all been waiting for...

Phatest Winner

You guys might know about how my family and I love watching Biggest Loser. Well anyway I recently decided that I should make a T.V. show called Phatest Winner. Sounds cool, right? :) Thought you all needed to know!

Also, I have a new favorite song! It is in my playlist thing on the side! It's called "Please Don't Let Me Go" by Group 1 Crew!

Finally, MY GRANDMA IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE ME TO SEE KAREN KINGSBURY!!!!!!!! I'M SUPER EXCITED!!! IF YOU CAN'T TELL!!! OKAY, I'M TAKING THIS OFF CAPS LOCK NOW! lol

Matthew 6:34

"Do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings."

I love this verse! I heard it for the first time recently while reading a Karen Kingsbury book! This verse can mean several different things and can be applied to several different obstacles in life! :)

My book has 147 pages! ^_^ I can't wait till it's done!

Jeremiah 29:11

"I alone know the plans I have for you. Plans to bring about the future you hope for."

Another verse I love! It is used by the one and only Karen Kingsbury! ^_^ Most of you know that she is my favorite author! I have the chance to see her this summer in Bowling Green, Kentucky on June 21! BUT (why does there always have to be a but?) my mother doesn't know if she wants to take me... :/ Now I'm sad because she won't email the place to get FREE tickets... It's free and less than to hours away AND she is my favorite (just in case you didn't know)!

Anywho, today is my dad's birthday and he is getting OLD! haha just kidding, Dad! :) My mom has been saying I'm hyper today, but I don't really see it... She also says that I occupie myself a lot, but what choice do I have? I'm by myself all the time! Which is just the way I like it! :) less drama! I really hate drama with a burning passion! If there was a way to skip drama I would be the first in line. Sadly there is a BUT there too; what would life be like without drama? Three words: HEA-VEN-LY! :) okay, I think I'm done rambling on now!

Love life, Laugh often, Dream everyday, and Imagine EVERYTHING!

Phillipians 4:13

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

This verse is a big part of the movie Soul Surfer! I love that movie! It is a great movie! I just got the book for Easter, so I can't wait to read it! :)
Anyways I love this verse because it reminds me that even though I am fourteen and there are probably millions of people who are trying to publish a book, I can because He gives me strength to do so! :) This is definitely one of my favorite verses!
I hope everyone had a great Easter even in the rainy weather! I know I had a great Easter! :)

:)

Noah's first baseball game was yesterday! :) Oh and my book has almost 145 pages!!! :) I already know the next one I'm going to write too!

Baseball Season has arrived!

I love baseball season! :) I guess I should say I love my little brother's baseball season! They are really good for just starting it last year! I love watching them play! :)

Summer is almost year! I can't wait! I have exactly 34 days left!

ATF and Spring Break pictures...

Camp MeeMaws 2011!


Noah's personal pan pizza he made at Camp MeeMaws.


See me in the back on the grass? Yeah, that's what happens when you race in between Noah and Camden... They can NOT stay in a straight line and they WILL close in on you so you have no other choice, but to fall!


Janessa (my cousin) and I were there! If you can't tell! haha We laughed SO hard when we were doing this! :)


ATF group with our "backstage passes" Good Times... Good Times...

...

...Yeah, I really wish they had a CYT in Evansville or Newburgh... The only place they have one in Indiana is Indy... can't drive there all of the time... poop nugget.

I changed the look of my blog... again! it will probably stay like this for a while! We'll see! I even changed my profile picture on the side... I will miss the picture of me and one of my favorite little girls ever though. :)

I will post pictures from ATF soon; just don't really feel like it now! haha :) Anywho, I am SUPER excited for spring break! Is any one else? :P

ATF and life...

ATF was AMAZING as usual! :) I had a blast and I got a lot out of it too! :)

Tomorrow I'm going to see a musical at ECS! :) Hopefully I will see some of my friends! Spring Break is in 4 days!

This is short I know, but the piano is calling my name! :P

Mia, Noah, Hope... sigh.

Those crazy little things! :) NEVER a dull moment!

Sunday Mia, Noah, and I were sitting in the van with Dad; but Dad had to go in someplace to pick something up for work... As soon as he is out of the van I hear, "Take pictures on your phone, Jordy!" We went through why I should take pictures what I should take pictures of this is what we came up with...


At this point I was thinking so far so good, but then I was gifted with their normal faces...



Then we had a "Tomorrow is George Washington's birthday" conversation with Mia (the oldest)... Ali says, "Guys, tomorrow is George Washington's birthday." She gets a few yeah's and yup's... Although not from Mia who says, "Cool! How old will he be? 20?" We could not stop laughing... Then Mom explained that he was our first President... Mia was so confused...

Lastly, today Hope came downstairs after her nap. I was doing school, so I wasn't paying attention until she said my name. When I turned around this is what I found:

Nothing to Wear

16 days! 16 DAYS is how long I have been wearing this shirt! Why would I do such a thing? For Haiti of course! :) We (the people wearing this shirt) started with seven days; then for every hundred dollars raised we add another day! As of right now we are at 23 days, and this morning we were $14 away from 24 days! The most we can wear them is 30 days! No washers or dryers! I handwash my shirt some nights and let it dry while I am sleeping! :) Forget laundry softener too! The first day I washed my shirt I woke up and went to put it on after my shower and was surprised at how stiff it was!
After a while it gets kind of boring; there is no variety, at all... The same turquoise shirt EVERY DAY! Now I know how some people live... People who wear the same shirt EVERY DAY, and don't even have clean water to wash them with... Makes you think of some shirts we spend $20 on and think, "That's not too bad; I mean it's a cute shirt!" Well that shirt ends up in your closet for maybe a week without being worn...
The other day I was getting in my closet for something (maybe a pair of shoes), and I looked up at all my hanging clothes. Then looked at my shirt I had been wearing for two weeks; I remember thinking, "Hello old friends." Then closing my closet door. :) If you are interested in donating check out: www.ntwchallenge.org Thanks!

This is what the shirts look like (in color)... Sorry, Ali was looking at her iPod or something...

ATF!

ATF stands for Acquire the Fire which is a Christian youth retreat thing! I am so excited for it because last year was so much fun! This year Casting Crowns will be there!!!! :) We have 2 fundraisers left to do! One we are selling bracelets and the second one is a nacho/soup sunday at the church! :) I'm excited!

Here are a few pictures from last time:

This was the group that went, but there were two more people that were looking at the merchandise...


Pat, from Unhindered, and I.


This is my friend Lenzie and I on the way (my hair actually wasn't in my face it just looks that way)!


Everyday Sunday performing!

I apologize if these pictures are blurry; they were taken on my phone and we were trying to hurry through most of the pictures! Especially the one with Pat and I. :)

February...
