Read this please.

Here I am at Kelsey's house for the first time a really long time. I normally stay home or babysit Jake. She's so cute. She lets Jul and I do her hair! Seth and Noah don't let me do it. I wonder why... Speaking of Seth and Noah, they came this morning! Mrs. Debbie had saved up on her off days at work so we didn't have Seth and Noah for a couple months or so. Noah can run a lot faster. We danced to Veggie Tales with Seth, Noah, and Kelsey when we got to her house,(we have Veggie Tales on cd) and ran around a little bit. It's fun being with them. Their so cute. Oh, I'm sorry for talking about babies too much.

I forgot to put in my last post to tell you that we went to see The Prestige it was very...weird. But I liked it. Near the end of it I was thinking "Man, I hope they explain everything or I'm not gonna like this movie." Then they explained it. But it still didn't end that great!


And now a paragraph to Erika.


HI ERIKA!!!!! I still wanna get in touch with you!! We need to make a time to get online and talk! Oh, do you know how to comment? Cause I know you came to my blog but you didn't comment your myspace page. So I was wondering if you couldn't find it since I renamed it from saying"o comment" to "0 stars". Yeah, so Julia and I want to talk to you sometime.

Sunday-Wednesday

The new years game night thing at church was really weird for me. I was sometimes with teens, sometimes with younger kids, and sometimes with all of the adults with no other kids. It was fun tho I guess.


Monday morning we went to Cherise's house first thing. We listened to Odyssey the whole way there. It took us 4 hours to get there. It was SO fun!!!! I am really glad we went. We met Cherise's roommate Katherine, and Josh's girlfriend Katrina. Both are called "Kat." They are both really nice. I like them a lot. Hopefully I'll have some picture's up. Tuesday morning we went near amazment square and walked on a paved path through the woods. We had to go around a fence to get where the path was. Josh, Kat, and I walked up this really steep...ya know those things on the side when you go under a bridge that are like slanted? Well that's what we walked up. You had to lean over like all the way to walk up it and on the way down you had to lean back really far. Once I got to the top I got scared cause we were so high up and it was scary. I love being where Cherise and Josh are. We met Sam Tuesday night. I didn't talk to him though. We played Boxers and Briefs, and Friends Scene It. It was very fun. We got back today around 3:45 p.m.

Josh is coming home tomorrow for good! Woohoo!

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

I love this picture! Don't you?

Cherise and Josh left today. =( It's always hard getting back into routine, after they've been here for a while. *sigh*

Yesterday we played a ton of games. We litterally played them all day. We played Succatosh twice, Bolderdash, Zigity, Ruckus, Gold Digger, Apples to Apples, Risk, and I think a few more. I played all of them but some games just Cherise, Josh, Julia and I. Some Alina, Cherise, Josh, and I. And others my whole family. It was fun. After dinner we had a camp fire outside using the new fire pit thing my mom got for my dad for Christmas.

We took all our Christmas decorations down today also.=(

I want to THANK everyone for the gifts you gave me. They were very nice. Even if you didn't get me one thank you for reading my blog.

Me and Cherise Christmas Eve

We opened our presents at my house at like 8:30, then went to my grandparents house for the day. It was fun. We played a lot of games. Including Succatosh, Cranium twice, Catch Phrase, Totally Gross, Rummee 500, and 5000. It didn't feel like Christmas at all no matter how many presents I opened. We talked a lot, and we stood around the piano and sat around the room singing. That was different but it was fun. Some people did some solo's. I recorded my Uncle Jim singing a solo fal seto(how it sounds, you know what I mean) on my new mp3 player that I got for Christmas! It sounds very high. LOL. We left my Grandparents house around 10. Over all it was very nice.

IMPORTANT: READ

Okay I need to know if ANYone ever reads my blog, besides my family. So please comment cause I'm feeling really dumb for posting and expecting people to comment. You can just comment something like "I read it and I didn't like it" or if you did "I read it and I liked it." Just please comment. Thank you.

How unfair, how depressing, how maddening it is for your good friend to be accepted just like that. But still you and so many other people aren't accepted... yet still being left out, still being forgotten, still being the "odd" one out.

Christmas plans

Yea so Josh is coming home Friday, and Cherise will be home hopefully Sat. but probably Sunday. =( Oh and Christmas Eve we're going to the Abrenathy's house after chruch that morning, then going from their house to chruch again. But I really wanna come home for some time that afternoon. Then Christmas day we're gonna go to my Grandparents house for the day. They live 1 hour and 15 minutes away. Yea, so that's what I'm doing.

Caroling is tonight. it would be better if my friends were coming but oh well. It's not about being with friends it's about...singing to people. Right?

I will be remembered by...

Today

Today was very interesting. I managed to sleep into 10:00, get all my school done and take a shower before 12:20, then I ran out the door to get to my orthodontist appointment at 12:30, got my colors changed to red and green (Christmas!) and now they have me wear rubber bands. Then as we were pulling out of the otho, a car ran a red light and almost ran right into us! I was in the front seat, it was really scary! I screamed as mom stepped on the brakes, and the other car missed us by a inch!! To cvs we went next to get some advil for my teeth (cause rubber bands hurt), and then kfc and then we were on our way to Recreational World to get our trailer back. They were fixing it because the mice ate our camper. But that's another story! Anyways, on the way there we ate our lunch from kfc. I got mac and cheese (I know I know) and the girl didn't give us any forks or spoons so Julia ripped off a piece of her box and gave it to me to scoop out my mac and cheese. So that was new. I never used cardboard to eat mac and cheese...or anything else for that matter. The way home was uneventful. And so will be the rest of the day. Until small group...That should be full of boring events! Yea, anyways, that's it. Hope you enjoyed reading about my "wonderful" day. BYE!

Monday's

It must be Monday! What a dumb day! Can't drag my butt outta bed if only I could sleep in--and wake up on the weekend oh, what a dream that would be, yeah but fat chance for that one-it ain't gonna happen better get back to reality...
