An Update on my Busy Life:-)

It has been a while since I last posted. I had a great New Year. Several of our friends came over and we played games and ate ALOT of food until midnight. At midnight we did poppers and sparklers.

I have had a busy school year. I don't have a lot of free time but when I do have it I love to read and watch "Walker Texas Ranger":-) I am really enjoying my classes and my other subjects that I do at home.

Thursday, I got my hair cut. I was so ready to have it cut. I donated my hair to Locks of Love. This is my 5th time donating my hair. I really enjoy seeing how long it takes for me to grow my hair 11 inches. I like the idea that my hair is going to help a child who has no hair feel like they are normal and that they won't stand out amoung a group of people.

The Campbells brought their new baby home from Ethiopia this month. He is SO cute:-)

We went skiing a few weeks ago and we all enjoyed it. It was really nice to be able to spend almost a week with my dad before he really got into the "Tax Season Mood":-)
We also went tubing while we were there. I almost enjoyed that more than the skiing. We all had very sore shins and arms by the time we left at the end of the week:-)

My family throughly enjoyed the first snow of 2009. We played in it almost all day and then came in for some hot chocolate (and still managed to get our school and chores done) I had a cold at the beginning of that week so since I went out and played in the snow I could barely talk the next day:-) I just couldn't resist not playing in the snow. That was the most snow that I had seen in like 3 years:-)

I am still in a Homeschool Girls Choir. I am really enjoying it. I have loved to sing ever since I can remember. I used to sing more than I talked and Alexa is following in my footsteps:-) We just started our spring semester and we have some really neat songs. I have a video of one of our Christmas Songs that I may post up here soon.

The Super Bowl is tomorrow. My dad and my brothers have a party every year and all of their friends come over and they yell at the TV and eat "manly" food:-) I enjoy watching them:-) Last year my mom, Mrs. Tracy, Leigh and I all went to see the movie "27 Dresses". It was ok. So this year we are going to go out to eat and we are going to see another movie. I am not sure which one we are going to see.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my busy life and I will post pictures of my new hair-do and are ski trip.

It's that Time of Year!

I love Christmas time. I love the cold weather and the cold nights sitting by the fire. I don't love Christmas just because I give and receive presents or because I get to eat yummy food. I love Christmas because this is the time of year that Christ is truly celebrated. Not that we shouldn't celebrate Christ all of the time but people seem to actually recognize that CHRISTmas is supposed to symbolize Jesus. People who don't go to church very often or people who don't come to church at all come to a Christmas Eve service because, half of the time, they feel like they have to but I think that it is better to come to church on Christmas Eve than to not go to church at all your whole life. When those people come to the Christmas Eve service they hear the gospel. What better way is there to present the gospel through the CHRISTmas story. The Christmas story (if told correctly) is so pure, simple and sweet. I just thank our Lord and Savior for giving us this time of year to TRULY celebrate, worship, recognize, and understand His TRUE and MIGHTY love for us.

I hope everyone has a Merry CHRISTmas and that everyone will celebrate Christ in everything they do this holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have so many things to be thankful for. A few are:

1.MY SAVIOR
2.My Family
3.My Friends
4.My necessities
5.My dog
6.Love

It is hard to keep up!!!!

I have been very busy lately, as usual:-) I am in two different classes for school. I take a Chemistry class under a College professor. I also take a class that has Literature, History, Geography, and Writing. Two of my friends moms teach the class. So with both of those classes I have a lot of Homework each week. I am also a procrastinator and don't do my work until the last minute. In Writing we are writing a 10 paged research paper. That is going to take a while. I am also doing Geometry this year in Math and I am trying to finish my Language and Spelling for the rest of the year. On top of all that, I am testing for my 2nd degree black belt in 26 days. So I am training for that as well. Training for black belt takes up a lot of my time and so it is really hard to get everything done. I am also in an all girls choir. This is my fifth year in the choir. I really enjoy singing and several of my friends are also in the choir. So I am a very busy person and it is hard to keep up with it all, but I just trust the Lord that He will help me get through and get everything that I need to get done done!!!

Ken's Corny Corn maze

Last night we went to Ken's Corny Corn maze. It is a 2 1/2 mile corn maze.I was in a group with Amanda and Ellie. It took us 56 minutes to get through the corn maze. We had a lot of fun. Each group gets a flag and a punch card. You are trying to find hole punches with the letter that you need on it. You carried a flag so that in case you couldn't get out you could wave it in the air above the corn stalks so that somebody could come and help you get out. We got lost several times and missed the boxes with the hole punches several times. Owen was in a group with Jason, Nathen, Mr. Rob, and Mr. Mark. Alexa and Ian were in a group with my dad and my grandpa. My group got out before Owen's group and Alexa and Ian's group. We were quite proud:-) Then afterwards we went to McDonald's for supper. After we were finished Ellie, Amanda, Alexa and I went and played on the playground. We knew that we were to big and we got stuck quite a few times:-) We took a video of each of us coming down the slide. It was really funny. We had a great time and I hope that we get to do it again soon.

She's gone:-(

Okay, as most of you know my mom is gone for the weekend. She has gone to Mississippi to be with one of her good friend's. Her friend's grandfather past away yesterday. He was like a father to my mom's friend. Her friend called my mom 40 minutes after his death and my mom just felt like she needed to go. I totally understand that. But I miss her terribly. She just left this morning and it has only been 4 hours but it has felt like forever. She will get back late on Sunday. I guess I didn't realize how much I needed her until she wasn't here. I know she will be back but I still miss her. I am just glad that she is coming back home on Sunday. It is only 3 days. I haven't ever gone this long without her. My dad will be here at night but I am here with Owen, Alexa, and Ian during the day. At least he will be home on Saturday. We are going to Ken's Corny Corn Maze on Saturday so that should be fun. I hope the time goes by quickly.
