Pics I promised

AH

I got back from Wilmington on Wed. night and went to church. The trip went really well and was a lot of fun!! We are going to try to have an annual "Girls" trip. That would be so much fun....I'm sure you're wondering why my title is "AH" Well, besides the fact that I just got back from Wilmington, my family is still here, school starts in less than a month, and we re-did our room!!! :) For the longest time Sarah and I have shared and bed, we sold our bedset and got twin beds. I will post some pictures of Wilmington and our bed stuff soon. But now I'm too tired and am going to go to bed.

Finally here!!

Well, I've been waiting for this for a long time. It almost got canceled, it has been rescheduled many times, and after many changes we are FINALLY going to Wilmington, NC. It should be a blast! We are going to go to a big shopping area, to the beach, and then just hang out and have fun. We have a missionary here who will speak tomorrow. After church we will come home change, eat lunch, and leave at 2 for Wilmington. It is about a 3 and 1/2 - 4 hr. drive. It shouldn't be too bad. I'm bringing snacks and my laptop to watch movies. I like all of the people who are going so..... We have been having a good time with our family from VT and they have decided to stay longer, so that is nice. Summer is going way to fast and in less then a month we start school!!! :( I'm very excited and very nervous. Everyone says I don't need to be nervous and I'll do fine but they don't know what it's like to have never been to school and then be entering public high school (no offense.) don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, in fact I want to go to school I'm just nervous. We have already done some school shopping. I have a backpack and we got some paper and stuff. I'm a shopaholic so I don't need any new clothes either. :( Unfortunately. I had a dentist appointment this week, no cavities and everything looks good but I have to go back Thursday for sealance (sp?) I hate having that done but I'd rather that than having a cavity. Thursday will be busy. I have a Chiropractor appointment and dentist plus my family will still be here from VT....Well, I better go finish packing and go to bed. I won't be posting until Thursday or Friday. ttyl

More cousins!!

Well, I'm tired and I have to go to bed, but just a quick note. My other cousins and Aunt and Uncle from Vermont just came into town yesterday evening. They will be staying a week. Unfortunately Sarah and I will miss half the visit sense we will be going to Wilmington. This evening we went over and watched a movie and tomorrow they are coming over to swim. It should be fun! Well I have to go. ttyl

God is AWESOME!

The title pretty much says it all. Ever since "Ramp" our youth group kids actually want to go to church. Like when we got back from the ramp we weren't going to have a service for a week due to 4th of July and stuff but before the youth pastor said anything the youth were saying that we NEEDED to have a service. Well, we had one and it was awesome, God came and you could feel the presence of God there. Then last night some people stayed after it had "officially" ended and just prayed and worshipped God we didn't leave until like 11:30. We're having another service this Thursday but I'm not sure I'll be able to go because I have a dentist appointment. :( We'll see if we can change that though. So yeah its pretty awesome!!

VBS celebration!

Last night was the last day of VBS. It went really well. A lot of kids went up for prayer for salvation! It was awesome. All of the kids in my class came except for one. :( In celebration of VBS being over (not really, that was just an excuse!) we had a sleepover at my friend's house. It was fun. We watched the season premiere of Monk and Psyche, Lydia painted Sarah's nails, and then we talked and went to sleep. This morning Sarah and Lydia made muffins for breakfast and then Julia walked us home! It was a good evening. I'm not sure what we're going to do today. I'm already bored but hopefully we'll be able to go shopping!! :) We'll see.

Cleaning

Today was cleaning day! lol Fun! We (Sarah, Tessa, and I) all spent the night at my Grandma's house last night and this morning I had a Chiropractor. We said good-bye to Tessa and then ran some errands. We cleaned our room, which took a while, and then Sarah and mom went swimming and I just sat out there and talked, and now I'm here!! I'm trying to convince mom to let me make brownies....it's kinda working! lol

I have some good news!! I have been trying to cut back on pop....sad but true usually I have it for lunch and dinner but the past 3 nights on my own I've had water. Yeah! lol

Well, I'm going to go hopefully make brownies ttyl!

Tomorrow :(

Well, tomorrow my cousin Tessa leaves to go back to L.A. :( She has been here for like 31/2 weeks but it totally doesn't seem like that long. We are all going to spend the night at Grandma's tonight, because she is taking Tessa to the airport. I wanted to go but I have a Chiropractor appointment.

VBS is going good. Pre-school isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I can't say it is my favorite class but....last night for a snack they had S'mores!! I love those! lol I had like 2.

Other than that nothing is going on here. What about there? Hope you guys have a great rest of the week.

VBS

Well today is the start of a week full of little kids running, screaming, and acting crazy!! Oh what have I goten myself into!? lol Actually it shouldn't be that bad. I got stuck with pre-schoolers though....:( OH well.

Our room is a disaster right now!! As most of you should know....It's driving me NUTS! lol but there isn't much I can do about it at the time.

I hurt myself and I have like all these scratches on me.....:( I'm not telling how I got them though
'cause it's really embarrassing! lol

Today we might go see my Grandpa's grave. Other than that nothing is going on here.

Party and Savannah

Lydia's, my friend, birthday party went good. It was a lot of fun. I think she like what we got her....lol I hope! It was a bummer having to leave the party early. :( It technically ended at 11 but we had to leave at 8 because we were going to Savannah with my mom, cousin Tessa, Sarah, and I. I was so tired 'cause we obviously stayed up late and then I had to wake up early but oh well. I got a jean skirt from the Gap, not even Gap outlet, for only $3!!! Normally it was $25! I would never pay $25 but still! lol They were having this huge sale. I was telling my mom that it doesn't matter what state I'm in or what kind of Gap it is I ALWAYS find some kind of good deal! lol Well, I'm helping Gap out! haha Well, I have to go eat dinner ttyl

Emily

Finally Done!!!

Well, the past two years Sarah and I have been trying to do our California scrapbook.....well, we finally finished it this week!!! It turned out pretty good. Tonight Sarah and I are going to our friend, Lydia's, house for a sleepover for her birthday. I can't wait!! Tomorrow morning mom, Sarah, Tessa, and I are going to Savannah. That should be fun, but we have to leave the birthday party early. :( Not looking forward to that. This morning I went to the Chiropractor and then with Matthew to get his Senior pictures done. Sarah and I took grandma and Tessa out to Chili's for lunch. That was fun. Then we went to the mall and shopped a little bit. I got a hoodie from Gap. Well, nothing else is going on here. ttyl

Emily

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! What are your plans? Our plans are my Uncle, Aunt, cousins, and Grandma are all coming over to our house at 4:30 to swim and then eat hamburgers, hotdogs, and brats. It should be a lot of fun! I hope you all have a great day and remember the reason we are able to live like we live!

Also, Happy Birthday to my friend, Lydia!! Have a great day, hope you get everything you wish for! I can't wait for your birthday party tomorrow!

Fun and Algebra

Well, I'm left speechless after our youth trip. It was awesome. I got to see people healed, saved, and touched radically by God. Isn't He awesome!?!? This conference was amazing and the people there were awesome! So, basically I had a great time. I do need your prayers......I have to do half a year of Algebra in a month and a half. Not only am I not very good at Algebra but I hate it and believe it is of the Devil!!! So if you could remember me in prayer that I will not only be able to finish it in time but that I finish with a good grade! Thank yoU!
