Hey! Packing, packing, packing. I just tried to sign on aim and put the wrong password. There we go, right password. 8 People online.
Okay, so I am almost done packing for Ward Lake (Woo hoo!) The biggest task should be over with, now all I have is an 8 hour drive in the Rowdy Van and no saying the C word, it's carp.... haha! And it's not a dam, it's a water retainer, haha! But we all love the Rowdy Van. I am just hoping on the way up, the boys decide to have another slushee contest, see who can down one the fastest. The last one they had, Matt started physically crying, how great is that? They're the funniest thing to watch. Anyways, I am pretty much done packing, I was worried I wasn't going to get done. You should see Leah's bag! Oh my gosh! She just tried picking it up, she's going to have to have three guys carry it for her, haha! It's the biggest bag, I'll bet. I bet no one else will have one that big. She's saying it's so embarrassing, but she has no idea... Dad bought me a new parachute bag, it is exciting. It's nice and big, but not too huge. I had a pretty easy time packing, seeing how I just got back from Hume two weeks ago, I already knew what I needed, just a couple extra things since we're staying in tents, not cabins. Anyways, I think I am going to get going right now because this entry is rather long. Maybe I'll write tonight so you all have something to read until I get back. :)

Ok, well some of you people might be wondering why I'm writing on my Blog this late. Well, I say there is not time like the present. No, actually, Leah just fixed my profile so my picture shows up, so we are up this late. Amazingly, I am not tired. Anyways, I was really excited to have my picture on there.
Okay, well, I am hoping that Brian (my cousin) and I both get called back for jobs at Rite Aid. It would be really cool to work with him, and it would be really cool just to have a job even. If I don't get a job there, I might go back to my original idea and try to find a job at a day care that isn't licensed. If it's licensed, you have to be over 18 and have 12 units in child development courses, and i don't really feel like doing that for an "after-school job" very much. Anyways, it is getting rather late, but I don't have much to do tomorrow. I think I'm going to go to sleep. Leave me comments 'cause you know I love 'em, and it's my motivation for posting! :)

Ok, well, there's nothing really new to post, it's just been too long without one. I am getting ready to go to Ward Lake now. We're leaving Sunday, so we only have four days including today to get ready. I think the packing limit is ridiculous. The church should understand that the girls should get to bring double that, because we just sneak stuff anyways, haha! Leah found a clever way to bring an extra blanket, but I'll let her tell you how she did that. I fit everything for an entire week at Hume Lake in one bag, so I think I can do this. Today I am going to clean up my room and get everything in an orderly place, dust and vacuum, and then I will start pulling aside clothes I want to take. I will do laundry Saturday night as well so that I can still wear clothes till then. I'm not too worried about packing, considering I JUST did it a little over two weeks ago or so. I left the fourth for Hume, and now I'm leaving the first for Ward, so I'm in the swing of it. I haven't been home much this month, haha!
Well, it's already 11:22 and I haven't showered yet, and I need to give Butchie bath, clean my room, do all that, and I am going to Bible study tonight too, so I had better get going, but check out my profile! Leah just helped me put it together, but the picture I don't think will work yet, I'll have Leah get that up and running soon since I know almost nothing about html except colors and normal formatting your site. Like the dotted line and the top there used to be solid. :-D I'm good. Ok, well, I'll try to keep you all updated, and post at least once more before we leave Sunday.

Hey everyone!
It's been a while, I know. But Friday we went to Six Flags Magic Mountain, it was much fun, then Saturday was a lot of fun. As most of you know, I was supposed to have my birthday party Sunday, and a girl's day out Saturday. So around 9:30 on Saturday, Heidi, Leah and Candie came in my room, Heidi diving on me and jolting me from a peaceful rest, video camera aimed my way, they pulled me from under my covers, threw some clothes at me, and told me to change. Now, these weren't just any clothes, these were "special" clothes. They dressed me freachotically! I must say, I don't think I've ever looked so creative. They also did my make-up, what a blast that was... Needless to say when my friends are involved, I looked weird. They then blindfolded me and took me somewhere. When they unveiled my eyes, I found we were at the bank, so they kindly escorted me inside in front of a few people I knew that worked there, then back into the car. I am guessing we made a stop at Heidi's bank, though I'll never know for sure, that's just what I'm told. They then took me somewhere else, the smell gave it away though, we were at the Mariposa theater. We saw A Cinderella Story. They then took me somewhere else, and when they unblindfolded me, we were at the mall. They made me walk around the mall with them for what seemed like forever! They then took me to get pizza at the food court. Then, we got back into the car, and they told me we were going bowling. I guess I kept figuring out what roads we were on, so they had to make a lot of detours and such. Heidi then gave me a surprise piggy back ride, and when they unblindfolded me this time we were at home and a bunch of people were there for my birthday party! It was crazy! They did such a good job! It was awesome! Anyways, that was all. I'll write later. :)

Well, some bad news about my driver's test today, and I know this is going to bum a lot of people out. I got it!!! Haha! I went to Terry Cable to pick up some cables for my dad today, that's the only place I've gone alone though. So anyways, I took my test, got 11 out of a possible 15 wrong, but who cares, I got my license! Haha! :) Then, such a bummer, me and Mom walked out, and guess what, anti-freeze was running from under my car. We opened my hood, and the oil cap was gone! I guess I forgot to put it back last time I changed my oil or something. So then we drive it home, me and Dad go to Autozone to buy oil an air filter and a cap, but something else was wrong with my car too. We couldn't figure out what, but the anti-freeze I think it was, was like, boiling. So apparently I needed a new radiator cap, so me Leah and Brian went to get it, I cam home, finished changing my oil, uhm, put in a new oil filter, and then showered and went to Terry Cable. Then when I got back, me, Mom, Dad, Leah, and Brian went to lunch at Lulu's. Anyways, it's been quite and eventful day. Oh yeah, I got my purity ring yesterday, it was very exciting. :) That's all! :)

Welcome back to me! I just got home from a week-long Christian camp yesterday, (Hume Lake) around 4:00 or so, it was awesome! It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life, and seriously brought me a lot closer to God than I have ever been. I met so many awesome people there too, everyone was really great. I got to go on this thing called the High Rope course or something like that, and it was so scary! First you rock climb to the top of this wall, then you go to a different place where it's a triangle rope bridge, the kind where you have one rope for your feet, and two for your hands on the sides. It was fairly easy at first, then you get to the hard stuff like the balancing beam (sp?) was the hardest for me. It was the scariest, but it was also my favorite, then they have this weird rope thing in the shape of an X, and you have to cross from one side to the other, and it move around alot, it was weird, then you go on a couple more things, and at the very end, you jump off the screamer, which you're dropped from about 43 feet, but only free fall for about 15 I believe. Anyways, tomorrow is my birthday and I am so excited! I get my purity ring, and that's going to be awesome! And the next day I go to get my driver's license, then on the 16th, this Friday, our youth group is going to 6 Flags! Woo hoo! I can't wait, so I will try to keep you guys all posted about the goings-on as they happen!

Well, today, Ernie and I went to the bank, to radio shack, the dollar store, H&E, Kmart (where I got sunglasses for camp for 27 cents) to Stone Hardware, and to Rite Aid for ice cream! Haha! :-D I still need to do alooooot of packing too, and I'm starting to get very nervous for camp. Anxiety attack..... Yikes! Just pray for me all 'o ya'll! :) I should be fine, but I'm still so scared. Anyways, I am getting pumped, so I hope that I have fun. I will write some other time!

Today we told Brian that he is going to get his own room. It was exciting. Then we went to Bible study, came home, it was also fun. And then I started packing for camp too. Right now we are checking Leah and Candie's e-mail. She is going to stay the night. Anyways, what else did I do today? Well, I don't remember exactly, but my cold is getting better, I just have a cloudy head, and a little stuffy nose, only a little though. I reallllly need to get on packing seriously though tomorrow. I only have till Sunday! But hey, Ernie came back tonight. I came home from Bible study, and he was here! I was happy! We're going to go get ice cream tomorrow. :) Anyways, poor Brian, he doesn't feel good right now, so he's laying down. I sent Matt a 12 page letter a while back, and about a week ago, I hope he sends me one back! :) It'd be a great birthday present to get a letter from him! I miss him so much! Anyways, I am gonna get off and go talk to to Brian now. Talk to ya'll later! :)
