HELLO BIG WORLD!

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!

also, im so happy and excited to be saying only 6 more days til my cousins wedding, its going to be beautiful! :)

whew, slow down!

I'm in need of some rest! this week has been quite busy! boot camp, school, work, boot camp, school, work, boot camp....ah! craziness, i love working and working out and school is ok but its just wearing me out, thankfully the Lord is my rock and when i need to rest, i can rest in him! Gosh, he is soo good!

Well exciting weekend ahead! Tomorrow is the start of THRIVE as well as My friend's band is playing at The channel! Then saturday is THRIVE all day! yay for a fun weekend with my best of friends! also a thanks to Nicki, she left both sophie and I off for the weekend! thank you!

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!

I never thought i would be able to work out in a boot camp with out being a cry baby! but im doing it! though i have the occasional asthma attack, i still finish strong thanks to AWESOME HEATHER COOLEY!!! she is such a motivator! and a special thanks to other boot campers who encourage me to keep going and make sure i am ok!
UPDATE:
#3: not going so well, i started to bite my nails one day and eliminated all the process i made! oh man!

Anyways, so life has been kinda hectic, work, workouts, prom drama, school and more work! Im just living life, loving it! God, is really showing me the way. Before i did newthru30, when people talked about stories in the bible, i had no clue what they were talking about but now i do. i finally realize how good and mighty MY KING is! I love HIM! HE is such an AWESOME GOD!

CRAVE

So at youth group sunday night, i was insecure about my body! most of the time i feel FAT and i blame not having a boyfriend on it! But after Matt spoke about how everyone gives in to soul cravings in diguise(self image, sexual immorality).

I feel much better about my self! i think less of how i look to others and focus more on what He thinks of me, Beautiful! He made me in his image and i should be proud of how He made me. And now i am! Culture these days says that women should be skinny with large boobs and tan skin and always has a man by her side! Absolutely NOT! That is not what the image of god is!

Today is a beautiful day. I just want to go swimming now!

its a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!!

Yes, its finally perfect outside! Warm, Sunny, a little breezy and most importantly i work! Ugh.

Yesterday i was down in the dumps! i felt fat and unwanted. Then this morning i remembered that Jesus made me in his image, and through his eyes, he sees a BEAUTIFUL creation! Thank you Lord for showing myself through your eyes!

I'm going to make today a fun day!

feel it....

Its nice outside today! i like it! i dont have much to say, i just wanted to blog today! lol

hello there...

I stayed home from school today because I'm sick! i watched stepfather, which was a terrible movie! it seemed like a mix of movies, mainly Disturbia and Obsessed!

So prom is coming up in like two months and people have already gotten there dresses and prom dates, i feel very.....very....late! I don't want to end up without a date just like last year! I felt like i made the pictures very off and of course i made the best of it, but i cant help that i just want to feel wanted by peers.

I don't have much to say today, just like every other day!

time to KILL!

I'm posting because i need some time to kill! Yes, im working and have been been working hard for about 3 hours now!

It's Valentine's day, also known as Single's Awarness Day, or SAD DAY! lol Of course I don't have a Valentine except for my mom! Which means # 34 on my goals list is going to have to wait for tomorrow! Let's just hope i'll have an actual Valentine next year!

Check up on my goals:
#3 stop biting my nails! they look really nice now!
#4 loose 20 lbs before april-its going really slow at the moment
#20 visit a foreign country- t minus 129 days until Argentina!
#27 Write hand written letters to my grandparents- i think i will do that tomorrow!
#54 read the whole new testament in a month- its definetly coming along
#92 go to more than one prom this year- my chances are looking pretty slim!

Triumph-
#87 play powderpuff at my school! oh yea! its done! and i want to play some more!

Fail-
#51- dress up everyday for spirit week! i failed at this! Spirit week was last week and i only dressed up two days out of the six! how sad!

alexys!!!

THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME AND CHEERED ME ON AND WISHED ME LUCK! LUCK WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED! IM SOO SORE NOW AND HOPE TOMORROW CAN MATCH THE EXCITEMENT IM FEELING! HELL YEA!

I can't wait to play today! I'm ready to raise hell, if needed. These junior girls think they can talk junk to make us back down! YOU BETTER BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT AND WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN! So game day is today! i have been pumped since last year to play! So today is the day, WATCH IT JUNIORS OR A BUSTED LIP IS COMING YOUR WAY! WE RUN THIS!!!!

what a wonderful day...NOT!

Today wasn't too bad! It was just powderpuff prcatice! yes! it sucks sooo bad! i was pissed but im cooling off! so i went today expecting to play my normal spot on o-line! aha I played 3 plays and im out! what the heck , not fair! Then they called out the starters, half of them havent come to practices and the a few others just stood around at the other practices! NOT FAIR! i only missed 3 of the 12 practices and played the whole time for all those practices! if i dont play tomorrow! im going to raise HELL! yes! these coaches suck. period.

heart cookies..

I never have anything interesting to say! I'm not creative word wise, I'm more of a artsy person.
So as the last post said spirit week started and i have been super pumped to raise a lot of money for Pendleton place. And Friday was kick off to this awesome week. Saturday i helped set up for stampede for hope, and at first i didn't really want to be there and in my head all I thought about was myself until I realized as i was cleaning my room, that it wasn't if I was warm enough or awake enough to help cause I have a house to sleep in that is heated and clean and i can sleep whenever i want, but the pendleton kids didn't have that til they got to pendleton place and so that's why i was helping in the first place...Thank You Lord, Thank You for providing in my life, providing everything I need to be successful. I just want to be your hands and feet!!!
Anyways, after working I went to a Rave, which was awesome. ha ha, it was crazy with all the bright colors and flashing lights! it was a blast and a great event to have my senior year of high school!
Thanks to wonderful Sheila, who made some wonderful heart cookies! thank you! they were delicious!
Now today, its super bowl Sunday and where am i spending it, I don't know exactly! I helped set up for the senior citizen ball today for spirit week and it was fantastic,I hope all the seniors like it!

let the games begin

So today was THE DAY! SPIRIT WEEK 2010 has OFFICIALLY BEGUN! im so excited to participate in Powderpuff at my school! its only three days away!

I have quite a busy week ahead of me, there are so many events for spirit week im either in or helping! you should come see me! yay!
