I cry out

The Long Journey

2010-07-09T09:36:00.000-07:00

Losing weight and getting healthy is definitely a tough challenge but it is one I have decided I am going to embrace. I've been overweight for years and now I've decided to kick myself in the butt, get off the couch and do something about it. My start date was May 16, but i haven't really been doing much since after my sister got married. I was doing the 30 Day Shred by Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels, what a tough workout, it's twenty minutes of the hardest things I've ever done. It's great for building muscle and losing inches, now I am doing a Leslie Sansone Four mile Walk Away the Pounds video. It's actually really fun and it goes by quick. She has you using every muscle in your body, even your face muscles because she makes it fun to workout and gets you to even smile while exercising. Imagine that! My goal is 60 pounds in one year. Can I do it? Of course I can! Will it be easy? No way! I like exercising but I need to change my diet and eat healthier and eat less. I think that's the hardest part for me. With the help of my boyfriend and my family and friends I know I can embrace this challenge and succeed. I won't quit and I won't back down even if it takes longer than I expect.

Your love is like a river peaceful and deep...

Since I no longer have Facebook I needed to post somewhere how wonderful my boyfriend is. Today is our 8 month anniversary and since we can't see each other this week, he sent me a BEAUTIFUL rose bouquet. It's gorgeous and looks wonderful in the living room. I'll have to upload a picture soon.

Na Na Na Na I'm gonna start a fight

2010-02-07T18:38:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm not gonna start a fight, but I seem to like to entitle my blogs with song names and since this has been stuck in my head the last few weeks, I decided to use this. Not too much has happened in the last few weeks. School started about a month ago and I can't wait for it to be over so summer can be here. Somehow I got the flu on Friday night so I've been sick all weekend. I'm feeling a bit better and hopefully I'm all better by tomorrow since I have a test to take. My wonderful boyfriend got a job at a Ford dealership and he starts this Friday, I'm so happy for him. I can't wait till Valentine's Day to see him, because I miss him so much. I did my obversation for my child development class which was lots of fun. Those little kids are so cute. Hopefully this week turns out to be better and I do well on my test and next time I will have better things to blog about.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

2009-12-13T17:47:00.000-08:00

It's already Christmas time once again. It seems like just yesterday that I was opening my Christmas presents. The semester is winding down, thankfully. I have three midterms this week then it's break and time to recuperate before the next semester, which I'm nervous about since I will actually be taking real classes on campus and harder ones. I also will only be babysitting the twins twice a week so I'm probably going to need to find another small job. Right now I am trying to procrastinate and not do my homework and since I have no facebook anymore I figured I would update my blog.
I love Christmas time, the decorations, the music which I always forget that you can really praise the Lord and worship Him using Christmas hymns, and I love spending time with friends and family. I think I also feel so much more generous during this holiday season with donating to certain causes which I should probably do more often. Allen and I went and donated blood yesterday which was lots of fun and it feels good being able to help those who have been hurt and need blood transfusion, it only takes a little bit of time and you get so much in return.
Allen is amazing and I am so blessed to have him. He treats me like a princess and looks past the faults in me and sees me for who I am on the inside. He's also great about keeping me in check in my walk with God and just makes me so much happier. Sometimes when I am with him it feels like I am in a dream or something because I don't think I deserve him at all yet I know he's mine and he loves me. :)
I am also blessed to be able to serve such a wonderful God. A God who loves me unconditionally and sees the good in me and forgives me when I make mistakes. He gave me the greatest gift of all which is my salvation and sometimes it's hard to remember that is the true meaning of Christmas, not gifts or music, or even spending time with family. But being thankful for the gift God gave us of his only Son who could die on the cross for us and forgive us of our sins and one day when we die we can go to heaven. God is so amazing and I am so blessed to have all that He has given me. I cannot wait to see what this new year has in store for me and what I can do to help make a difference in His world.

My 19th year

2009-11-16T18:51:00.000-08:00

Well the school semester is once again slowly winding down and soon it will be Christmas break. Hard to believe the year is almost over all ready. Last weekend was my birthday and Allen took me to san fran. We went to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, the Alcatraz, and the wax museum. It was super fun, I had a great time. Allen is such an awesome boyfriend and spoils me way too much. Afterwards he took me to Chevy's for dinner. It was such a wonderful day. Probably the best birthday I have ever had. :) God has truly blessed me with him as well as a great family and friends. Saturday night I had a birthday party with my friends. We went bowling and then to pizza later. I'm not the best at bowling, but it was so fun seeing my friends I haven't seen in a while and having Allen meet all my friends. He was so good with them though and they all seemed to like him. Thankfully he was also nice to my one friend who most people don't treat the way they should. I'm glad he's so nice to everyone and makes them feel accepted. I'm totally falling for him lol. This is also the first blog I have posted on my new labtop I bought last week thursday. I thought I'd spoil myself for my birthday. Wow I was just reading my old blogs about other guys in my life and I realized how lame I was too like them. I now have this absolutely amazing boyfriend and all because I left it in God's hands. I should have done that long ago.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever

Summer Happenings

2009-07-22T09:20:00.000-07:00

This summer has been full of events. I now have a boyfriend :D. He's my first bf and he is awesome. On Father's Day I learned I was going to be an aunt, which I've wanted to be forever, unfortunately two weeks ago my sister-in-law had a miscarriage :(, me and her just laid in her bed all weekend and watched movies together. They can try again in another month or so, everyone will be praying things go well with that. On a happier note my cousin Liz just had her baby on the 16th! After losing a lot of blood during labor, Liz was able to return home on Saturday night. We went to visit on Sunday and Liz and little Mason are doing well. Mason Daniel is adorable and so small, I guess I will just have to pretend to be his, Hazel, and Kenny's aunt for now.
My summer speech class is finally over. That class was lots of fun and I actually enjoyed it suprisingly. I'll try to update a little more for my sake of remembering what's been happening in my life.
"Count your many blessings one by one and you'll be suprised what the Lord has done."

Turn Around Bright Eyes

2009-06-15T14:52:00.000-07:00

I almost forgot I had this thing. Hmm life has been interesting lately, I started my first day of summer school today, speech class not too excited about it but mar is in it so it should be fun. I can't wait for it to be over lol. Yesterday I met this really cool guy that I have been talking to. He came to my church and we went to lunch with my family he met the whole family too aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins kids, as well as my sister and my parents. The family all liked him especially my little cousin, so we will see where that one goes. I should be focusing on God right now more than guys though.
I'm excited to see what this new school year has in store and what God has planned for me. I see that my best friend is no longer posting so goodbye to her. I will continue to read Kaimelar and the many other people I follow on heres blog.

Not much to say

2009-05-05T17:49:00.000-07:00

Hmm I haven't updated in a bit but I'm not sure what there is to say. I finished my first year of college, interesting events with Explorers, talking to shortys, the list goes on and on. Three weeks ago my best friends father died, he was like a father to me as well so that was hard on us, the cancer took him too quickly and we will greatly miss him, but we know he is in a better place and not in pain anymore and we know one day we will see him again. My friend dropped out of school and so I've been hanging out cleaning her house a lot. My other best friend now has a boyfriend, but I can't blog my feelings about that since she reads this. My other friends are finishing up college and will be home soon, hopefully this summer is a good one. We will see what God has in store.

Story of my dog

2009-03-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

I should be studying for my anthropology midterm I have tonight, but since I don't even know what to study I will just blog about it instead. Besides, I am feeling pretty proud of myself for writing my entire paper this morning. My dog Mia is lying besides me so I will tell you about the events in her life recently. She went in last week to be fixed, however they discovered she was pregnant! The dad, my german shepherd Bear. Since the puppies would have killed her, saying that she is a pomeranian, we had to abort them, which we were quite upset about. She did well after the surgery and seemed to be recovering quite well until we came home Sunday night from dinner at my brothers and discovered she was bleeding all over the recliner. We picked her up and her incision had come open, and something was hanging out (we later learned it was her stomach lining). We called someone who worked at the vet and she said to wait until the morning to take her in since the hospital would be very expensive. We called the emergency hospital just to make sure and they said to wait. My dad wrapped her in saran wrap and gauze and held her the whole night. In the middle of the night she was bleeding everywhere and we were sure she wasn't going to make it. My dad took her in right away the next morning and they tried to charge us for animal cruelty and abuse for waiting so long. Mia was taken care of and she is doing quite fine now. She has to wear a cone all day which she hates, but who wouldn't? Hopefully she heals quickly so she can go outside again. That's all I had to say.
Well off to my studying.

Nothing is forever

2009-02-27T18:04:00.000-08:00

Hmm. I feel like I have gone through my first breakup even though I was never really dating the guy. It's kind of tough and it sucks though. Melissa has been a good friend through it all listening to my ranting and being the one who is mad at him because for some reason I'm not, but the whole fam and my friends are. I'm not mad though I think I am just more in shock or suprised by how much he has changed. He got to be a jerk all of a sudden and decided he didn't really want to talk to me anymore.

College Life

2009-01-14T12:15:00.000-08:00

My second semester of college started this week. I am taking online classes again, which is kind of tough, but I like it because I can babysit. I signed up for 5 classes and was on the waiting list for all of them and was accepted into all of them, however I dropped history because it is not a required course for me, at least I don't think it is. So my classes for the semester are Cultural anthropology 102 which is going to be tough I can already tell, English 101, Music Appreciation, and Womens Health. So hopefully I do well and get good grades, because MAR and I are planning on transferring to Fresno next spring. We have to remember to pray about and see what God's will is in our lives. Hopefully all goes well because I am tired of Ripon.

uhhh

2009-01-06T20:23:00.000-08:00

The last two days have been full of excitement I guess you could call it. My car has been acting dumb lately and not starting for me and yesterday it just decided it didn't want to start for me or anyone for that matter at all and my dad cannot figure out what is wrong with it which is quite a rarity. Then today I went to the dentist because I haven't gone in like three years and they said my wisdom teeth have cavities and I need to get it pulled cuz otherwise it's going to decay. Whoopee!!!! Then she said that the way my jaw juts out under my tongue I can't ever have dentures so I have to make sure I take really good care of my teeth so they don't fall out. Other than that I do a great job at brushing and have a beautiful smile lol.
But I guess I can't complain I got to babysit my favorite little kids yesterday and they gave me a Christmas present when the people I babysit for everyday didn't even give me a card or anything. My life really is good. I have a wonderful family, the most amazing friends in the whole wide world (mar). Life really is good and I have lots to be thankful for. I can't wait to see the wonderful and not so wonderful things I am sure God will bring in 2009.

Firsts

2008-12-31T16:49:00.000-08:00

Wow. The last two days were quite eventful days to say the least. We went to Fresno Monday then kidnapped my friend and brought him back home with us and returned him Tuesday. We spent the night at Mel's house where she accused me of things I most certainly did not do at her house. We played Rockband, went to Save Mart, had S'mores, and ate. It was lots of fun. Oh and my friend met my siblings. I'm not quite sure how they felt about him, but hopefully they liked him. It was quite an eventful two days, but I won't go into details, those who I want to know know. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for driving!!! It was quite a good way to end the year. Happy New Years everyone!

Too long

2008-11-20T17:57:00.000-08:00

YAYYYYYYYYYY! So this weekend I get to hang out with my friend T-pain in Fresno and I am super excited. This week is going by too slow though. I'm excited for tomorrow though because MAR and I are making cookies which will be lots of fun and help the day go by a little quicker. Im so nervous, but more excited, I think I am more nervous about his parents considering the way that I met this guy. lol
Wish me luck!

All I want to do

2008-11-14T10:48:00.000-08:00

I finally turned 18!! It really wasn't that exciting, but whatever, I got to hang out with the fam then that weekend with MAR and she got me a purse, we had lots of fun together, just like on Halloween weekend when I had to babysit my twins all weekend and so she came and relieved me of my boredom and helped me to stay sane. THANK YOU!!
Well I really needed to just vent so this was quite helpful, sorry its not a very happy post.

Just enjoy the show... I want my money back

2008-10-08T16:56:00.000-07:00

Well I guess I should update even though there is not much to post, but I will try. I think everytime an animal in my family is killed I make a post so I guess today would be a good day to do that since my bird Petey was killed by my dog Bear. His cage was hanging in the tree, his favorite place to be, and I guess my dad took out the bottom because he was going to clean it I guess and Petey fell out the bottom, I don't know if he could fly because he has never been out of his cage, but anyways Bear got to him before anyone else could and that was the end of poor Petey's life. I was sad because I hate Bear already and I liked Petey and it wasn't even a good death for him :(( I cannot wait until the day when I can post that Bear died, I will be a little sad but not too much.
I went to Fresno the other day but still did not get to meet my friend so I was a little bummed, this calls for a road trip I guess. School is okay except I am not doing to well in anthropology because I don't think my teacher likes my posts because I don't show favorism towards evolution.

Life

2008-09-16T20:33:00.000-07:00

Wow this year has gone by rather quickly. I cannot believe that its already the middle of September. Life has been interesting. College is so so, I cannot really say I go because I just have online classes but they are interesting I do not really like my anthropology class because it is all about evolution... ughhh its so dumb and they always bash Christianity even worse. Regina leaves this week my feelings are... iffy to say the least. I've been so confused about this boy that I "met" when we talk which is not that often he's so sweet and I love talking to him we have some good laughs. Me and his best friend talk way more than me and him talk which is kinda sad. But me and his best friend are becoming best friends too lol. They are such cool guys and I cannot wait to meet them which hopefully is in God's plan to do. Babysitting is all right except I think they may be teething... oh joy.

Simplicity

2008-08-17T21:23:00.001-07:00

I've come to realize how much I love the simple things in life. Late night chit chats with my favorite guys. Laughing hysterically for an hour with my siblings after my brother came home. Laughing hysterically with my best friends taking crazy pictures while playing Rockband. Hearing a favorite song. Staying up late at your friends house and laughing and talking about boys. The smiles and giggles I get from the kids I babysit. Receiving phone calls from special someones. Getting a comment from your best friend. Or simply reading a blog about something exciting happening in a friend or relatives life. It doesn't take much to have a wonderful time. And I thank God for each and every absolutely wonderful simple moment in life.

"Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away."

Late night chit chats

2008-08-14T18:29:00.000-07:00

I don't know what to write but I felt like updating so...
My summers going pretty well I have been babysitting everyday which is kind of boring saying that the kids are only 5 months old so they don't really do anything but eat (alot), sleep (a little), poop and pee (also alot), and the little boy vomits alot. Other than that life has been kind of boring. I have read several books in the last week mainly to get over my boredness while babysitting and spent way too much time on facebook lol. But I have nothing to do after babysitting but clean or go on the computer and talk to random people.

Best summer ever

2008-08-08T21:00:00.000-07:00

Got a job, a car, and met three really cool people in the randomest way possible. My car has a delrae (cool, rockin, awesome) stereo. The kids are get to babysit are adorable despite their spitting up on me all the time, and my friends are awesome. Tomorrow is the church fair I hope that goes well. I hope Mark comes home soon as well. I also hope I can make a trip to Fresno some time soon =]]. Well not much more to write. Oh by the way congrats on 100 posts Mel I'm making my way there.

Summer Summer Time

2008-08-05T17:09:00.000-07:00

So lets see here... My summer has gone by kinda fast kinda slow I don't some days its like wow its already August but other times it just seems like its been long. I am not looking forward to college and I am having problems registering for classes. ughh! Well my parents just came home and said they bought me a car its a Nissan Maxima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!! =]]] I kinda have a job too so its been a good month.

Going to the chapel...

2008-07-20T15:08:00.001-07:00

No I'm not getting married, yet! My cousin is on the 2nd, as usual I'm the bridesmaid its hard work being so loved! Its gonna be a busy week though with VBS, rehearsal dinners, bacholerette parties, and the wedding, it will be quite fun though! We got an email from my brother Mark, right now he is in Panama doing nothing as usual. He will hopefully home sometime in the middle of August. This week Sara is coming from Iowa YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm quite excited to see her and Kenny. And hopefully my cousin's wife Elizabeth will have had her baby soon. We'll see. Well just thought I would do a quick update. Hope to talk to u all soon!

Good Times!! Good Times!!

2008-07-17T07:01:00.000-07:00

Well lets see this summer has been quite a fun one. I've hung out with Regina almost everday. I think I have spent the night at her house at least once every week this summer! We have so much fun. I need to hang out with Melissa but between road trips and her job i dont know when that will happen hopefully soon!! I have too much to tell her and it cannot be told in blog form. Where just wanted to write a quick update although I didn't say much. We celebrated my gma and gpa thompsons 60th wedding anniversary on saturday, today is the actual anniversary though. I can't imagine spending 60 years with someone, its pretty cool though that they have. I have such a wonderful family and have been truly blessed by them on both sides really. Praise the Lord!

hot sauce and jam

2008-06-29T12:13:00.000-07:00

well I've been told that I need to update so here I am updating. Now lets see what can I write about. This past week I spent time at my other families house the Beelers we didnt do much but read but I had fun. I started reading a new series of books about a girl falling in love with a vampire my mom wasn't too excited but oh well its a really cool series. Hi-camp was pretty fun kinda boring doing all the same things every year for three years and melissa wasnt there so that was kinda boring cuz my other friends are kinda duds. I saw my old youth pastor and his wife and kids today. I miss them but our new youth pastor is pretty cool to. I wish I could go to Missouri sometime and visit them. Right now I am the only child because my brother Mark is in Costa Rica for who knows how long he bought a one way ticket and didnt say when he'd be back probably not till sometime in August though. I miss him alot but I cant worry about him because what can I do the only thing I can do for him is pray. Hes said he's having fun though. Well thats about all I have to say if youre wondering about the title hot sauce and jam its because its good together. Whenever i have scrambled eggs i like to put grape jam eggs and hot sauce on toast mmm it sounds really good right now except im out of my hot sauce. well i'll try to write soon if anything exciting happens.

Summertime

2008-06-14T22:02:00.000-07:00

Well tomorrow I leave for hi-camp. I'm excited but sad that mel won't be there saying it was so much more fun when she came last year. She helps to make me more outgoing and helps me make new friends and always helps me have a good time and to step out of my comfort zone. I'll miss her. Maybe the hustlers will be there I know that sweatpant boy will be.

I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

2008-06-05T09:29:00.001-07:00

So yesterday was lots of fun and strange at the same time especially when a certain someone thought it necessary to dance in front of the window with no shirt on. I graduate tomorrow excited no; nervous no; sad not really I guess the emotions will hit after graduation. There are those people I will miss like melissa and spencer, ed, aaron, steph, and a certain someone I've had a "crush" on since freshman year. Of course I will definitely miss my freshman buddies too :( I'll get over it... hopefully. Well now I need to find a job and get a car. Congrats to mel who got both within a few weeks. I might be able to get a nanny job but its in motown not sure if I want to go all the way out there but we'll see if I don't find anything else I might have to. Well this will be my last post before I am a high school graduate now I'm kinda excited and sad.

Happiest Place on Earth... not always so happy

2008-05-17T15:59:00.001-07:00

So Thursday and Friday was our Grad Nite trip. We started by driving about 6 1/2 hours or so to "Newport Beach" it was basically a lake that had painful sand to walk on. Although it wasnt what we excpected it was lots of fun and made for some great memories. Afterwards we went go kart racing then it was off to "the happiest place on earth". We started off waiting in line for quite some time waiting for the rides to open. First it was Space Mountain a 1 hour wait. I had never been on a roller coaster so it was an extra hour for me to get even more scared I just closed my eyes and held Mels hand. While waiting in line I got a paper cut on my disneyland ticket. After that we went on the Jungle Cruise a cheesy ride that had no line so we got on right away after riding we understood why there was no line. Next was Indiana Jones a ride I was scared to go on due to when I went on it when I was nine I cried and hated it. This time I though it was pretty fun though and this time it was melissa holding my hand with her eyes closed with fear she was gonna fly out. That too was an hour wait. Next it was the Thunder mountain roller coaster but we didnt want to go on that one so mel and i went on the teacups twice where we got our pic taken by a couple of nerds. Then steph finally persuaded us to go on the Thunder mountain train so we went and then she wanted to go again so once again we did that. After it was 5 and it was time to go finally. I had lots of fun and was thankful for my friends for making me go on the rides. On the way home everyone slept except me of course and we watched hairspray and more of The Office thanks to AVG for bringing it. I had lots of fun and was so glad I went. I have eight more days till graduation Im excited but still very sad because I have to leave the kids who are like brothers and sisters to me in some ways. Ive been with them for thirteen years and now I'll probably never see them again. So despite not seeing gini all and all it was a good trip.

Happy Birthday to You

2008-04-18T22:07:00.000-07:00

Well just wanted to make a special post on my best friends 18th birthday and also to tell Spencer great job in the play... loved the accent it was wonderful!!!! Well school is almost over and with no money im stuck going to a junior college oh the joys of being poor! oh well maybe someday God will provide for now I will continue to pray and be thankful for all the great things God has given me such as wonderful friends. Well this week was wonderful because certain someones were gone all week ;) which was very nice.

ARGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! No Im not a pirate

2008-04-11T19:53:00.000-07:00

So I'm a little angry right now. So for those of you dont know theres a boy I like but then one of my close friends likes him too but doesnt know I like him so thats not my main problem my problem is she just messaged me saying that while she is gone at science camp can I make sure this boy doesnt get a date with someone else to JSB! What do I say to her ugh sure or no because I want to go with him or what totally confused her and quite upset. Oh well Im so glad we are graduating soon and can get done with all this high school drama. I'm pretty much sick of everyone in my class but love the freshmen and the sophmores and some juniors but I know I will miss my class when I leave so I better just enjoy it while I can.

Being an organ donor

2008-03-04T16:05:00.001-08:00

Well it has been one month and two days since Walter died I miss him but have gotten over his death. My dads bday is on the 12th hes gonna be the big 50 so we are going to throw him a suprise party. I finally finished my english research paper on being an organ donor, which after the research I found people should be organ donors. and if you are afraid that if you put the pink sticker on your license then the doctors are going to let you die well their not going to because its completely different doctors who keep you alive then the doctors who take your organs so yeah. We have an overload of work these coming weeks ughhhh! Oh well just a few more months till graduation.... June 6 baby!!!!

Tear

2008-02-02T09:48:00.000-08:00

This definitely isnt the first post i wanted to do this month, but it seems I have to. It seems that those close to you always die on dreary days like today and today was no exception to that this morning at 9:30 my dog Walter Thompson was tragically run over on accident by my brother. Today is no good day. We know Walter was annoying, but I still loved him and will miss him dearly. I didn''t get to say goodbye. Well I cant write anymore but I hope my next post is a much happier one.

Out with the old in with the new!!

2008-01-07T20:17:00.000-08:00

So my Dordt trip was flippin' sweet! I had a good time there and yes although I know I said I would never go there I think I might funny how things work! Spiritual Emphasis week was hecka cool I loved it! Yesterday I went to coffee with my youth pastor it was really cool he said some stuff about how he viewed me and my Christian life it was really awesome I always wanted people to see that but didnt know if they did or not. My service project was cool I put address labels on a thousand and something envelopes although it wasn't much the company we were doing it for was an awesome organization. Well this week went really well I realized somebody is a real idiot!!!! And someone else is really cool. Oh I almost forgot yesterday I went to Colwell's house with my friends thanks for his digits Spencer and it was pretty sweet afterwords I told him it was nice to go to my best friends and he said he didn't know we were best friends. But it was really fun his dad is hecka cool too.

Triplets....Hmmm...

2007-09-22T12:37:00.000-07:00

Arghh I'm so irritated! Boys are stupid except for Spencer. My dad pisses me off too. Thank goodness I have some flippin sweet friends who can talk some sense into me. There's some things I just don't understand some people get everything while the rest of get stuck with crap! My brother told me this story today about a little boy in his autistic class which really made me ticked off! I wanted to cry. His parents are so stupid it really angers me when kids get stuck with really bad parents. I wish I could do something about all the kids who have crappy parents kids who are abused or their parents are alcholics or drug addicts it's so sad. Sometimes I just don't understand why God allows that to happen to little kids. It makes me sooo sad. If only there was a way I could help.

Who am I

Well school has been going well lately! It's already going by pretty quickly. Friends are all doing well. I cant wait to go on the Dordt trip at the end of the month. The other day I realize that although I don't have that great of a father not only do I have a wonderful Heavenly Father, but also God has given me a huge family that are all so wonderful!!!!!! I love them!!! My friends are also so wonderful! God is really so good!

I love technology

2007-08-17T21:59:00.000-07:00

So IM is great. I was kinda bummed today just about stuff then I got to talk to colwell and this kid brett i have not talked to for over a year actually I dont think I really talked to him at SERVE either. But he was cool its funny though because he thought I was someone else LOL. So that totally brightened my day. Funny how God chooses to make u in a better mood. Thank you Lord because you are SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love

2007-08-17T20:07:00.001-07:00

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self seeking. It is not easily angered it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
Man I need school to start so I can talk to my friends

My summer adventures. by Laura Thompson

2007-08-15T08:41:00.000-07:00

This summer has been full of fun and events and amazing adventures. I started the summer off putting in a sprinkler system with my father which was quite a difficult task and was a bonding experience for me and my father something I have rarely been able to have throughout my sixteen years of life. After searching for about thirty of those precious minutes of summer vacation and digging up practically our entire mound we finally located the correct pipe. We finally figured out a way to connect another pipe as to redirect the flow of water to flow out of our hole and upon turning on the water we discovered the water was flowing in the opposite direction of what we had believed so I got out my bucket and scooped out every drop of water I possibly could take out. After finishing this feat it was a few days of my real lounging around the house during summer then it was off to the Santa Cruz Mountains to Hi-Camp, but of course we cannot forget my precious trip to the mall with my dear friends Melissa and Spencer. What an experience that was. At hi-camp we played games that would test my strength and just how well I could run on a tarp covered in water and soap or as some would call it a slip and slide what an amazing invention that is. During hi-camp I learned more about the God I love and serve and I made some awesome friends. First, there was the hustlers or as most would know them as Justin and Lucas, who were great skateboarders and did I mention they were triplets of course only two came, but one would never even imagine these two boys were related. Complete opposites like the north and south poles some would say. I believe Lucas could be in the National Hot Dog Eating Competition and still be hungry after winning. This kid was extremely tall and thin but ate more than anyone I have ever seen in my life. Consuming whole cows this kid engulfed down his dinner in mere seconds going back for seconds, thirds, and yes dare I say it *gasps* fourths. It was amazing. Then there was Daniel a nerd who played the piano better than any human being I have met can play the piano I'm not saying he is the best only the best of any piano player I have ever met. Everyday Daniel would come to breakfast in his same sweats and tell us I didn't shower today we would be horrified finally I believe on the third day Danny Boy showered much to our poor noses reliefs. LOL! Then during the night game we met Curtis and Adam whom of course the next day did not even remember us. After seven days of this fun filled week it was time to pack our bags thank Mr. Duyst for capturing and killing our little mouse friend whom decided he should leave us little treats on our bathroom counter, and saying goodbye to the hustlers, Danny Boy, and all of my other friends I had met thanks to Melissa and her outgoing personality it was off to Ripon, of course not before going to Woodies on the wharf, a tradition in our family since I can remember. Of course I had to go with the neighbor boy Nick whom we had to drop off since he was also up at hi-camp chasing every poor girl he laid his eyes on. Well this is getting long and I must go I will continue my summer adventures when I return so long and farewell my loves.

I get so nervous every single time I see u hop online.

2007-08-09T16:39:00.000-07:00

So Spirit West Coast was pretty awesome. I discovered some bands that r pretty awsum (i know it's spelled wrong) like Hawk Nelson. Then I spent some time with my favorite Cuz's pierre and alec and aunt shar it was lots of fun pierre scored the winning goal in the championship's pretty sure he wouldn't have if his dad was there. I feel bad for those boys their dad puts too much pressure on them. I love those two like they were my little brothers. Kinda but not really lookin forward to going back to school and being a senior. Don't really want to go to college oh well. i will post more later

Do the Hustle!

2007-06-28T08:05:00.000-07:00

Well summer has been very interesting so far. Hi-camp was hecka fun. We met some cool guys who were triplets and looked nothing alike. Only two of them were there though. We called them the hustlers. Then this other kid who was hecka good at the piano he was pro. Then yesterday we went to the mall which was very fun. I was happy because Spencer didn't get eaten by a polar bear while in Alaska, so that was good. Then I went swimming with Regina which was fun because we just attacked Sam her little brother the whole time. This weekend I get to go camping with my grandparent up in Jamestown which will be very exciting I wish I could bring someone along, it gets kinda boring.

Random Thoughts for the Day

2007-06-10T17:06:00.000-07:00

As I sit here wondering; where is Spencer I suddenly remember that I think he might be in Alaska. Well if you are you can't respond and tell me, but if you have not left yet I hope you have fun and don't get eaten by a polar bear (remember APUSH). Well miss you much spencer. See you later.
Also as I sit here I wonder is Melissa still at her Oma's well if she isn't she should come to my crib. Anyways love you both much. (Not romantically of course). This is a really dumb post but I am mucho aburrido and wish there was someone to talk to.

Why do they ask if u want ketchup and only give u 1 pack?

2007-06-08T12:53:00.000-07:00

The Long and Winding Road

2007-05-26T12:43:00.000-07:00

Man do I hate school. For some reason the teachers decide that they should assign 20 assignments on the second to last week of school. Maybe they want all of us to fail. They know we are sick of doing homework and no one trys anymore yet they give us a million assignments. oh well thank goodness the year is almost over Im ready for summer.

So I guess I'm having an affair with some guy named Snoop. It's a long story. It all started when my brother dialed a random number using my cell phone of course and isnt it typical that he wouldn't block my number. So now this lady has called me about 30 times in the last 24 hours and has sent me text messages saying she is going to beat up my sleazy butt (language has been cleaned up a bit). I'm a little worried about this like maybe this lady is going to come and kill me or something or maybe I have started this whole big fight or something in their family all because the lady didnt remember that my brother is the one who called her and asked her out on a date. Man the interesting things that happen in this life of mine (well it really belongs to God but I get to live it out lucky me)
