pine cove

we went to pine cove this weekend and it was awesome... i so needed some time away just do relax and sort through how to get my life back on track with God. the Lord is so faithful and i dont know why i'm always freaking out because He already won!
"Thanks be to God, He gives us a victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (i think that's from deut. somewhere... it was a music camp song)
"I am telling you this so that you will have peace. In this world you will have tribulation but take courage; I have overcome the world!" John 16:33.

Blessed Be the Name of the Lord !

work

i LOVE my job! i worked today from 2-9 and it was so much fun! for those of you that don't know, i am an elf at vista ridge mall... today alicia had to dress up as bumble (the abominable snowman) and it was hysterical! she was dancing around and doing thriller and i was laughing so hard! so if you're not doing anything tomorrow (friday) then you should come see us! i work 2-9 and it's a whole lot of fun!

um... okay... ya

so i kind of got bored of this whole blog thing... i mean you've probably noticed but i haven't blogged in like fifty million years... but anyway...
ali came back home yesterday- i just love her so much and i always miss her like crazy when she leaves so it's fun to have her back home
the progressive dinner is on friday (schuyler i know you're so thrilled!) and i could not be more excited! all the seniors are having the soup and salad at my house:) i LOVE getting dressed up and i am going to go get my nails done!
i love both of my jobs... ESD is so entertaining and i really just love the kids... i mean some of them are sort of hard to handle, but i really love my job:) and i work with some really cool people so that's good too!... and i LOVE being an elf! except that a girl threw up and a mom yelled at me for like five minutes because we were closed... other than that i really do love going to work!
Christmas parties are so fun, but this year i feel like i am going to about a thousand... which is good because i really enjoy them:) i have about fifty million secret santa gifts to get, but the frustrating thing about gifts is that even if i had all the money in the world i couldn't buy a gift that showed these people how much they mean to me so with not so much money to spend on Christmas gifts... i am having to be REALLY creative (for those of you who know me, you know that creativity is not exactly a strong point for me:) but that's okay because i am doing the best i can and it's the thought that counts, right?

o well... i hope your holiday season is going splendidly!

Merry Christmas!

hi

okay so i like never have time to post on this blog anymore, but it's like 11:30 on wed. night so i thought i would write something but the problem is that i dont really have anything to say...

so here's a list of things i really enjoy:
both my jobs
my friends
my family
my church
my senior girls biblestudy
christmas time, music, lights, and trees
Tuesday night biblestudy and my small group girls:)
dr. pepper
the thought of spending 7 days with my fav. people in New York!
going to amanda's house at the awkward time between school and work:)
progressive dinner
four-day weeks
life in general...

i guess things are going really well right now... all because of the Lord giving me so many amazing things in my life... "Thanks be to God! He gives us a victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!" that's a music camp song from the 2004 music camp performance and it just popped into my head... that's fun:) okay i am going to go to bed because i can feel tired head getting the better part of me... good night

holidays!

i love the holidays! thanksgiving is so much fun... even though i don't really like thanksgiving food that much, the idea of the holiday is really fun! and i LOVE christmas time... i love the music, the lights, the weather, the whole atmosphere, how everyone seems to be in a better mood or something it is just so fun!

i started my job as an elf in vista ridge mall and it is so fun... i worked today from 10AM to 8PM... that's a LONG time, but i had a blast... i love little kids and they were all so excited to see santa and so many moms brought their kids all dressed up which i think is just adorable... there were so many precious kids there today and we had a pretty consistent crowd so there was always something to do... which makes the time go by a little faster:) but i really do LOVE that job... to bad i can only work on weekends- oh well:)

this blog was really pointless but i haven't blogged in a while so i thought i should, sorry for the nonsense:)

I guess it's about time...

don't you think life is so fun? i guess this past week i have been so caught up in everything that i haven't had time to post so i guess it's about time:)...
let's see... on friday i went to a halloween costume party and it was fun, but i didn't feel like getting dressed up so i went as slumber party barbie:) basically it was a really good excuse to wear pajamas and walk around wrapped up in a blanket! we had fun though... my sister sent me a tiara with a note on the top that said "you're our queen! we love you!" and a bunch of her friends from HSU signed it. i cried when i opened it because it came on a day that everything was just sort of bla and the tiara just made my day! ali is so thoughtful... i really hope i can learn to think about other people like she does!... i was in the newspaper this weekend for being a "good kid" which was fun!... we had a fall festival at ESD yesterday... that was insane, but a really nice break and we got to play fun games like pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern and bowling with pumpkins... the kids really enjoyed it:)... i LOVE tuesday nights! my small group is AWESOME and worship is so fun... i love praising God with the middle schoolers! what an amazing opportunity God has put in my life for the past couple of years!

so, shout out to my sixth grade girls! i love yall!

hope you're having a great day!

Things that make me LOVE life!

my best friends made these shirts for me and gave me a present (chocolate and dr. pepper!) on friday so i wouldn't be stressed... how blessed am i to have friends like that? (check out my mum... isn't it AWESOME?)


i went to the homecoming dance with some random girls and we had SO much fun! we ate at sarah's (second from the right) house for dinner and stayed at the dance until they turned the lights on and everyone left... it was SO much fun!

i went to a pumpkin patch with my sister (I LOVE HER!) and parents today... we almost froze to death but it was really fun... we got the biggest pumpkin in the whole pumpkin patch!

i LOVE putting pictures on my blog and now that i sort of know what i am doing... you will probably see a lot more :) hope you are having a GREAT day!
