Elevate Pics!

Here are some pics from Elevate. I only took two of them, but I love them all so much that I decided that I love them so much that I wanted to put them on here.

Here is a pic of Ayla, Ben, and Me in the coffee shop myspazzzing it out!!!


This is a pic of a group of us huddled in together. This pic reminds me of the one we took at Elevate two years ago except for that one had Parker in it.


This is a pic of Lydia, Hannah, and me at the ski resort, and we are being dorks like we are always being!


This pic is of Ben and Yancy myspazzing it. Ben LOVES Yancy! He would not stop talking about her the whole weekend!


...And this is a pic of Ben dancing on top of a chair in our church's cabin! Ben I love you, but you are a really big dork!

Elevate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, of course Elevate was amazing! It always is, but this time it was very very powerful! I also met some new people (Evan and Ben), and I got to know people I already knew a little bit better (Nobbe and Wong). On the way there, we watched Planet Earth which was actually and surprisingly very interesting. If it weren't for Nate Reeves and his love for the Planet Earth videos, I would have never known that they could actually be interesting. The snow up there was fantastic!!!!!!! Yay! Snow! The only bad thing about it was that we couldn't really go snowtubing because the snow wasn't really packed very much because it never stopped snowing. It was amazing! I also want to say that I am very proud of Ben Worland. He gave his life to Jesus this weekend, and I am very proud of him. I had just met him Friday on the bus ride there, but as I got to know him over the weekend, I found out what a great person he is and how fun he really is (except for the constant reptitive singing of 'Oh Happy Day' J/k dog! ). Also, the speaker, Matt Massey, was really really good. He really made me see things in a different way. It was interesting especially the part about how we are all princes and princesses of the Almighty King. I also want to say that I am sorry for getting so angry with you Poopie (Matt Madson for those who don't know)! I still love you! In fact, I miss you as I am typing this. I really enjoyed this past weekend (even though it is Thursday already...sorry for publishing so late), but it went way too fast. I love these trips. They really make me feel like I am that much closer to our youth group which makes me very happy indeed. Our youth group is like my second family and probably the most functional of the two. You guys really keep me going and on my feet even when times are tough. Thanks for being there. I really do love all of you guys! Well, peace out homies!

The entry that has no title!

I am really bored....and not wanting to do my homework. so far, I am really happy that all my classes are so uber easy and/or fun that my school day goes by uber fast....and i've also decided that uber is my new favorite word....it's made of awesome! Just like nerd fighters(...oh John Green you are the best!) I am tired reading all the books I own over and over again, so i've borrowed a couple books from Anna...and so far the first one i am reading is kind of cheesy....but you know good kind of cheesy...i mean is says...." What the frig is that?" That sentence to me is like one of the best sentences ever! and that's just because the word 'frig' is in it! It is also currently snowing....heavily....which rarely occurs here in podunk, Indiana! So i am very happy about that! I've decided that i want to start a vlog (video blog for those of who don't know)! I don't know why, but i was just all of sudden like "OMJ! I should totally start a vlog!" I enjoy broadcasting my life....it's worth it...plus, making videos is so much fun! yes! yes it is! well peace out homies...for now!

It's been awhile!

It's been awhile since I wrote my last blog, and I've missed it! I have just been busy a lot lately especially now that I am back in school from break and have to work five days a week (which sucks, but I need the money so i try not to complain too much). I am really excited and pumped about Elevate 2009 this weekend...it is going to be swoot (it means sweet but like 10 times better than sweet). I hope some cute boy does some pineappling me (I know it sounds wrong but it's a word along with a concept that I made up which means to flirt with...so to pineapple = to flirt with). Anyways, that's not what Elevate is about, but it sure is a nice plus. One of the main reasons I really love going on trips with my youth group (besides Jesus obviously) is because I really get to know my youth group better, and I really get close to my youth group. It's nice being close to my youth group....they're my church family! I love them (if you are reading this I love you guys!) I also heart my small group and small group leader (oh Deborah Hinton...you may be an airhead, but i still love ya! ) anywho, school = sucks...but it's all good because I have easy classes along with a study this semester! yes! well i haven't much else to say so peace out yo!

End of first semester!

I am so relieved to finally be done with first semester. I do have to admit though that it went by really fast. Next semester is going to be so easy. I am going to have a study hall for the first time ever in my whole high school and middle school career. It's going to be nice. I also dropped my early riser class 'cause I didn't feel like I was learning anything in that class. It turned out to be really boring. It's probably because all we ever did in that class was do webquests and watch documentaries. Bleh! I am so excited I got all As on all my final exams except for one class, but it's okay because I had a really high grade in that class, so my final won't really change it at all. I am so glad that Christmas is only 6 days away! Though i have to say, it doesn't feel like it is Christmas season at all. It really needs to slow and keeping snowing. I'm really tired of it snowing then raining and then the water freezing over making really bad ice. Bleh! I really don't want to have to work tonight though! I hate working Fridays because my boss is always a pain in the butt! Bleh! Well peace out homeslice!

So, my Thanksgiving was uber boring. I had nothing to do, and I didn't even get to go shopping today because I didn't get paid this week. GGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, I didn't even know what to get everybody for Christmas. This is so jank. I think I had the worst work night ever. My boss yelled at me because I cut a stupid pizza wrong. GRRRRRRRRRRr!!!!!!!! Why does it matter how the pizza is cut as long as it isn't mutilated!!!!!!!!!!?????????? I also have to work tomorrow which I don't want to do. Oh well, at least I don't have to work Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday! I hate working Sundays. They are so boring, and I would rather stay home and do nothing anyways! Plus, I still have to do my homework! I hate having to do homework. Homework is so overrated!!!!!!!!

TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, twilight was flippin' amazing!!!!!!!!!! I mean freakin' amazing I have no other words to describe it! It was so well done. There were some details that were a little off or missing, but they weren't the big important details. All the big important details were there, and they were so right with the book. Yay!!!!!!!!! Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen was so much better than I thought it was going to be. He was freakin' amazing as Edward! Plus, he's gorgeous, so how can you not love Robert Pattinson now? I have to say though that I am so in LOVE with Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen! He is exactly who imagined playing Emmett. Plus, of course, Kellan Lutz is freakin' gorgeous. more gorgeous than Robert Pattinson in my opinion. Every time Emmett came into a scene....my heart skipped a beat.....he is so yummy. The person who plays Rosalie is perfect. She has the best temper for Rosalie. I think she could have more beautified (not that that is a word), but other than that....freakin' perfect. Same with Alice. The person who was picked for Alice is looks and sounds exactly the way I pictured Alice. The only thing I don't like about her is that I wish her hair was a little bit darker brunette. Other than that though, freakin' perfect as well. Jasper's face in the whole movie....OMJ! That is so freakin' hilarious. He always looked like he was in pain. It was so hysterical. Man, I think they did a good job with the character selection, but I have to admit, I didn't picture Laurent as being black. I mean the guy they casted to play Laurent did a very good job and is actually almost perfect for the part, but it's not what i was expecting. Still good though. James = perfect. Victoria = perfect. Everything about the movie = perfect. I really didn't think it was going to be that good to be honest, but now i am completely satisfied and happy with the way it was done. The ballet studio is so much better in the movie than the one i pictured in my head while I was reading the book, and that my friends is a wonderful thing. Plus, I'm glad they showed Edward and James fighting even though it is not actually explained in the book. It is said that they fight, but it doesn't describe the fight in the book. I love that they put the fight in the movie because without it....there would nothing there for the ending of the movie, and that would be boring. so overall, Twilight = FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't like Twilight, then you have something wrong with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
