2. Josh

5. Muffy

*Edit*

So, at the end of it all. Yeah, I realize this is mostly nonsense. I am suddenly struck with a desire to be more serious now. In reading the blogs of of some other bloggers of the same age as I, I realize...hmm, I don't know what I realize. I guess I wonder why everyone has to be so depressed? Or so fake? I don't get it. I realize that sometimes life sucks. Sometimes it stinks bad. But I don't think it does for a lot of us. Most of us, compared to other people have an awesome life-especialy due to our walks with God. Why does everyone have to look at the negative side of things? I realize that oftentimes it is the easier way to go about things, but maybe we could try to look at the positive. I am definantly not saying to put on fake smiles and pretend like life is great, but maybe we could remember all the awesome things that God has done for us and saved us from and be happy. Really happy even.
And then what about all the fakeness? Why can't we just tell people what we really think? I mean if all of us really look at what we write, why are we writing it? To impress other people? To put on a show? To make people laugh? I guess it seems like whenever I try and write, I have something in my head that I want to say. Sometimes it even goes so far as being typed. But that is usually about as far as it goes. After that it usually all gets deleted and covered up with something more exciting, or not so real. But I am done doing that. I don't want to be afraid any longer of what people will think of me. I want to write what is really inside of me-regardless of what other people think. So, instead of reading over what I just wrote and delete half of it, I am going to just post it....

All I Want for Christmas...

No, not my two front teeth! :)

Well, it was an excellent day. Sorry I didn't tell you about it sooner. I got caught up with work and completely changing my college schedule. I have a new desire to explore journalism. This is actually really scary, because I have all throughout high school and prior to that worked on and wanted to be a veterinarian. But lately I feel led to explore this area. I would appreciate it if all of you could pray for God to show me his will!

On to Christmas: Well, we started out by opening presents-who doesn't? Some of my favorites were a photomosaic puzzle (This being the hardest puzzle I have ever done!), this thingy-ma-bobber that lets me roll up my puzzle so I can store it better (Score!), a sort of survival manual for backpacking (I am preparing for this summer.), a copy of "Till We Have Faces", a copy of "The Chronicles of Narnia", an expansion to one of my favorite games (Munchkin games) and a therapy ball (My four year old sister gave me this. Maybe she is trying to tell me something :)). So, those would be some of my favs.

Then, of course, we basically played with the new games and toys all day. I think we played Munchkin close to five times and I played Aubry's new Ants in the Pants game way too many times. My finger started to get sore from all the ant flinging. I also stole my brother's Erector Set and constructed an extremely high tech helicopter. That was fun...

How was everyone else's Christmas?

Then,

Puzzle


Finished Product




NOOOO!!!!!!

This is my finished puzzle. It was 1500 pieces-the biggest I have ever done. :) It was great. It has all kind of funny stuff going on. You can't quite see it from the big picture, but it is there. I worked on it pretty much all day Christmas Eve. I was addicted. My mom practically had to yell at me to come to dinnner. Anyway, I got done, but sadly, a piece was missing. I think the company made a mistake, because I had two of one of the outside pieces too. Hmmm....
So, that was a little disappointing. All that work, and a piece is missing. Argh! Well, I am on to my next puzzle already. It is over 100 pieces-one of those photomosaics. I think it will officially be the hardest I have ever done, but I am determined to finish it. Adios! I'll tell you about my Christmas tommorrow.

Merry Christmas

Have a great holiday! I am signing off for the weekend. Sorry I haven't done much. I've been busy...having a vacation. :) Adios

Heaven Will Be a Giant Library

I LOVE books. I don't know how I survived when I was not able to read. Sometimes I wonder if heaven will be a huge room with lots of comfy chairs and blankets and all the amazing books ever written.

Within the last year or so, I have discovered that I love classics: "Grapes of Wrath", "All Quiet on the Western Front", and "Till We Have Faces" are some of my all time favorites. It seems like every book people have ever told me is boring, I love. It is just a great feeling to take a break from your own life and wrap yourself up in someone else's world. Not just the world of all the characters, but also the author's world. I think writing expresses how someone feels on the inside. Some people may not be able to express themselves very well verbally, but when one can actually create different characters and make them interact, you can really express yourself. And then of course when reading the classics, the language is amazing. Instead of just "cool" or "sweet", there are actually metaphors and similes (I believe....) that very accurately express how a person feels. It can be so frustrating to have an extremely complex idea in your head and not be able to say it. But sometimes I read something in a book that seems like someone looked at my thoughts and very eloquently stated them on paper. I love that! :)

What are some of your all time favorite books?

Do I Have To Grow Up?

It is a scary thought-growing up/becoming an adult. It is such an odd prospect to think that I am done being a kid. No more braces, no more days where school takes me an hour, no more ignorance concerning money or politics. It is so weird when I think back to when I was little. I remember about nine or ten years ago. It was a few days until my birthday and a package had come from my Grandpa and my Mom said I could not open it until my actual birthday. I went out to my swing and pretended I was a poor deprived little girl. Those were the types of problems I used to have. My biggest ones were like that. Not anymore....
Or I remember when the littlest things would make me so excited. Once when we were at Wal-Mart I helped a really tall lady (She must have seemed so tall because I was so short.) get a cart from an area that was really low. I was able to duck in and get one for her. Because of that she gave me five dollars. What a fortune, huh? Well, that is what I thought. Right away I knew exactly what I wanted: Pound Puppies. That must have been my main joy in life when I was seven. I still have all eighty-five that I bought when I was younger.
Now I realize that it is time to be a responsible adult. Go to university, eventually move out and support myself, get married, and maybe someday have kids. My first inclination is to be kind of scared about all of this coming up so fast. But if I can look at it in a better and more positive way, I realize how exciting it actually is. How exciting that I have so many opportunities waiting for me. There are so many things that are out there for me to experience. How cool that I am ready to start training for the job I have wanted since I was little. How cool that I have the priviledge to take care of myself and make my own decisions. How cool that someday I will-maybe :)-find an awesome guy to marry. And how cool that someday I will have kids to love.
So, even though all this can sound scary at times, I just have to remember two things. First, I want to remember how exciting the future is. There are so many awesome things ahead of me. And, second, I remember how God has everything planned out. What a relief! He knows exactly what is in store for me. "' For I know the thoughts and plans I think towards you', says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope '". This fact seems to make everything so much easier to handle! :)

King Kong Review

Hola! Well, I just got back from seeing King Kong. :) I liked it muy mucho! The only drawback was that it was a little long. I got slightly antsy towards the end. But everything else was great-effects, acting, storyline (which I wasn't sure about-gorilla falls in love with a lady). The best part was when these *possible spoiler warning* giant bugs were attacking all these guys. Wow! That was creepy. I actually had the chills. Oh, one other thing that was odd-Jack Black. He just was a little odd in a movie that was supposed to be serious. I just couldn't tell if he was being serious or just sarcastic. I wouldn't reccommend it for younger kids. There was definantly a lot of violence and the "cannibal people" were creepy. I liked them....But for anyone else, I would reccommend it. It was great.

King Kong



I am SO excited to see this. Peter Jackson-the guy who did Lord of the Rings also did this one. I saw a preview and it looks so sweet!! I think I will go see it this weekend. I heard on the radio that it will be the next "Titanic". Hmmm...could be interesting. :)

PS-Remember to vote for blog awards!

Jones Soda and Homeschool Blog Awards

*Edit December 14*



Hooray! I was nominated for Homeschool Blog. And my Mom was nominated for Homeschool Mom and Pictures. So, if you don't have a homeschool Mom you are voting for, you can vote for mine!! :) Anyway, go vote. It should be fun.

Augh!!!! Wow, I had this stuff this weekend, and I was-literally sickened. I have had the bubble gum flavor and it was great! But this was the holiday pack complete with turkey and gravy, herb stuffing, pumpkin pie, brussel sprouts, and cranberry something. The first was creepy. What the heck? Carbonated gravy? Sick! The second didn't taste like much, although it was still kinda icky. The third was managable. The fourth was another story. My Dad nearly threw up-he gagged. Everyone who tried it was groaning, and I couldn't eat part of my dinner. It literally smelled like opening up a disgusting bathrooom when the bottle was opened. Wow! The experience of a lifetime. I wanted to save some and have some of my "friends" *laughing maliciously* try it. Kidding...The last was a relief compared to the others. It just tasted like some odd, cheap carbonated cranberry drink. :) In conclusion, I would so reccommend this stuff if you want to have a....weird get together. Or maybe if you are on a holiday diet. It will definantly make you not want to eat. :) Check it out here.

Life On Other Galaxies?

I go to a weekly "worldviews"/biblestudy class. In it, one day, a question of "life on other galaxies" came up. Don't ask me how. Because I won't know the answer. Anyway, the guy that teaches it said he believes that there is not life on other galaxies due to the following verses: "For creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who sujected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pains together until now." Okay, the italicized verse is talking about how creation suffers for Adam's sin. Emphasize whole creation. The teacher says that this would include other galaxies, and why should other galaxies suffer for something Adam did in this galaxy. Okay, I will go with that, but then I wonder why do people in this galaxy suffer for what Adam did? Any thoughts?

Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Okay, time for a quick post. I went to see the movie last night. I would definantly reccommend it! Although it didn't totally stick to the book which certainly may bug certain people, I think it was excellently made. They kept the "Christian symbolism" in, but not as much as I would have liked. As far as a regular movie goes though, it rocked. The special effects were amazing-especially the battle scenes and all the creatures in the battle scenes. I think my favorite thing was how they did the witch. I don't know who played her, but it was perfect. In one sense, she looked young and really pretty, but then again she looked very old and...icy. :) So, anyway, I would say you guys would enjoy it!

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment...instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 1 Peter 3:3,4

This is definantly one of my favorite verses! Usually, I am not a person that gets real absorbed with all the physical beauty junk, but sometimes it is certainly hard when you are surrounded by people who's whole lives are based on physical beauty. It seems like so many of my peers and friends are obsessed with the physical. Whether it be just a group of girls or guys and girls, no one seems to take the time to get to know the real person. Rather than aquaint themselves with a person's personality, likes and dislikes, or walk with God, it is all...fluff. So, when I find myself surrounded by this way of thinking and, needless to say, find myself getting wrapped up in it, I try to remember this verse. God totally loves me just the way I am! He made me with that stupid curl right in the middle of my stick straight hair, the skin that wants to break out every other day, and all the other stuff about myself I tend to zone in on. I guess he liked me that way, so I should try and like me that way.

Well, the bad news is I didn't get snowed away from school. Darn! The good news is my teacher may be. He lives like an hour away. Hmm, I sound like an awful person, don't I? :)

So, I guess I still have a geography test, an anthropology test, a biology test, and a sociology test. Oh, yes, and a sociology presentation. Curses to whoever decided to put everything all at once at the end of the semester!

More Boringness

Sorry if this hasn't been the most exciting thing to read lately. I can't post pics, because I am getting my computer fixed, and I don't have a lot of time with a bazillion-literally-finals. I just may get lucky though. There is a winter storm warning for tonight and tommorrow, so if I can't get to school, one of my tests will be eliminated. Wahoo!

The weather here is pretty sweet! It is like 30 at 3:00 in the afternoon, tommorrow it is supposed to be 7 degrees, and as I already said we have a winter storm watch in effect.

So, there is some more boringness. Hopefully, things will get more interesting by the end of next week-when the semester is over. Bwa ha ha!!

My Weekend and Irritating Me

Hola! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did. We did all our Christmas stuff-lights, tree, and all that jazz. It was fun! We also went to a local christmas parade. It was no Macy's Day parade, but it was still fun despite the slight hokiness of it. :) I like knowing all the people in the parade!

Lastly, I went to Josh and Sarah's house to hang out. There was a ton of people. I can't believe that many fit in your house, you guys. :) It was fun, but once again I frustrated myself with my sucky social skills. I am just not that good in crowds. I want to be myself, but I have a tendency to just be a total wallflower and that's not good. I'm sick of being told I'm so quiet and I never say anything. Man, life is a trial sometimes. Well, maybe a lot of times.
