WOW! its been quite some time since i last blogged! haha well what you guys have missed from my absence and slacking nature, I have turned 18! im graduating high school in 5 days and i gained some inner strength and courage to talk to a boy! (GASP) haha Yes, i did and were "talking"! oh the joys of teenage years! and summer has officially started! EXCITED FOR SUMMER NIGHTS AND GLORIOUS MORNINGS! AHHHH! BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE BEGINS NOW, (actually it started already but for dramatic effect) BEGINS NOW, yet again! WOOOOOHOOO!
:)))))))

completed # 36

YES! another one! i completed #36 think of a hilarious story to put on my-life-is-average, and i did! ill let you know when it will be published! but i did it! ands its awesome!

Last night was amazing!!!! haha Hollie and I planned to prank her friends car and so we decided to prank some others while we were in the pranking spirit. So Hollie, Ellie and i went to Wal-Mart and picked up suran wrap, milk, a HUGE chocolate bunny, glow sticks and cheerio's! First place we headed was our lead pastor's house! he talked about how he loves to sit and eat the ears off of a chocolate bunny, then fill it with milk! so all of us took bits off the bunny and set it upon his door step, filled it with milk and took some pictures, knocked and RAN LIKE WILDFIRE! haha Hilarious! it was awesome (pictures coming soon!), then since our recently old youth pastor was close by we headed over reminiscing over when he told us he hated Cheerio's! So we covered his windows in sayings and cheerio's and then suran wrapped his car, then covered his porch and driveway, as well as his car, in cheerio's! it was classic then all of a sudden a car flashes by and we duck! The we all dash to my car and as i try to turn it on, it pudders! My battery goes dead!!!! then this BMW, with TWO of the CUTTEST guys stops to help us! wheew! they were gleaming with generosity and handsomeness pulled over and helped me jump my car! aw! my knights in shinning armour! then it didnt last long cause i was too shy to say anything else but THANK YOU! and as they drove away, all i could see was a lifetime of happiness! and then we all become depressed, wishing we would have talked or flirted more! so we drove away hoping and wishing but we moved on to kelsey's house! we did our thing and we went back to dustins house, hoping they were looking for us too! WE WERE DESPERATE!! we searched the whole neighborhood, then found a car exactly like theirs and touched it to see if it was still warm like, someone was in it but no! it was stonecold! so we headed over to courtney, dras, rebas, and elizabeths! and made it a luai themed party in the front yard and on the cars! it looked great! and that was our night, as well as our constant glow stick party in the car! and this is to be continued for sure!

yay! i completed #30

YES! it is COMPLETE! # 30 pay for the person behind me in a drive thru!
story time:

on my way to work, my tummy started top grumble, so i pulled into sonic and got a slush and some tots then it hit me, pay for the person behind me, (i think it was god!) and without hesitation i pulled out the card and said to the nice man, "i'm paying for the person behind me, please!" so there it is, i didnt stay long enough to see her reaction but im hoping she will gods gracious power, and wont thank just me but God as well! :) im happy now!

Revised.

I know, i know, it's been a while since i updated my blog! well, i am now, be proud! lol Time is just flying by, graduation is in less than 2 months, my cousins wedding and my other cousin's military graduation are in t-minus 1 month and counting taking the place of prom! i cant wait!!! I haven't seen my cousins or family in like a couple years, mainly because they live all the way across the u.s., in Oregon. I miss them so much!
God has been stirring! Can you feel it? I can. HE is stirring some big things in my heart but not only there but in my youth group, THE REALM, and in our church and in our city! God is so amazing, so BIG and powerful! i am CRAVING him more and more everyday! my soul dances and jumps when i hear His name! Lord, I ask that you send me out to be your hands and feet in our city! Help me to be more compassionate towards others! Upon hearing the messages at THE REALM, I feel myself sharing more about him and praying more to him throughout the day! I love HIM! like Matt said, I'm tired of just talking about Him, it's time to do something about it! It's time to get up and dance, cause we're free now, it's time to lift up our praise, and shout it out now!
Did I mention that I'm doing a boot camp? i don't think i did! Well i am, I'm trying to tone up and get in shape. If you read my past blogs, one of my goals is to run a marathon, not walk but run! As well as run a marathon, i want to join the Air Force, and if I'm going to be going to boot camp there, and should get a head start in working out. But at first, i was doing it for the wrong reasons, i have always felt like because I'm on the chunkier side, i don't have a boyfriend, that was always my excuse! So i joined boot camp hoping to shed those dreadful, unwanted pounds and did! But after that first boot camp, i felt so much better about myself! It feels so good to wake up early and work out hard every morning! I encourage everyone reading my blog to do a boot camp! =]
OK! Let's get down to the nitty gritty! As i was reading over my goals the other day, i realized that somethings were spelled wrong and some things didn't make since! So i am REVISING, as well as giving an update on them! Hope you like them!
