Snow

Yesterday was sooooooooo much fun! Alina and Valerie came over and when it started to snow we went outside and caught the snow on our tonges! We did a lot of other stuff too. It was really fun.


My dad and Mr. Bob was out all night last night plowing and salting.

Who established Martin Luther King Day?

It was Ronald Reagan who established Martin Luther King Day a National Holiday in 1983. The 1st holiday was observed on Jan. 20, 1986. Martin Luther King Day falls on the third Monday each January.

Don't laugh

Yesterday morning I fell out of my car at the church parking lot. Hey, it was wet outside. I have a big cut on my knee and a bruise on my ankle. I know its not that bad but it still hurts.

Josh and Thailand

Josh is leaving tomorrow morning very very very early to go to Thailand. He'll be there for 17 days! He'll be doing all sorts of things. I am worried that he'll...get hurt or something worse. This is what Cherise wrote on her xanga about it.

"Have you ever felt like this could be the last time you see someone?
My brother Josh is going to Thailand soon. The other day I was reading about the missing & crashed planes in that region of the world... then thought about the various diseases, wild creatures, and dangers over there... and I was struck with this terror that he won't come back. I said goodbye to him last night, and it was just weird. I don't know where this fear is coming from. This morning in a devotional and then in a song on the radio, God reminded me that heaven is our true home. So if Josh (or anyone that knows the Lord) goes on from here, they are merely going home - which is far better. But I will still pray for his safety, and for the safety of our friend he will be visiting."

I hope you take the time to read this.

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!

You Are a Social Blogger!

Your blog is more of a semi-private affair for your friends.It's how you keep in touch... sharing stories, jokes, and pics.

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.

All the cousins.

The original Battles (missing my Uncle Dan)


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.
