I.......

I am not ready for summer to end.
I am kinda, but not so much, excited for my sophomore year to begin.
I don't like starting school on a really random day, Tuesday .(Sep. 1st)
I would like to get fake glasses. (I'm sorry that was random)
I am jealous of my friends who start school the week after me.
I wish i had more plans in the week.
I refuse to spend my last days of summer in the house.
I am about half way done with drivers ed!
I can't believe i turn 16 in a matter of months!
I miss my old friend, the rain.
I didn't like that it was 95 degrees out today.
I have a lot more to say.
I just don't have a lot of room to say it.
I think i'm done with this list.

So

It's been a while since i last blogged. Truthfully my life hasn't really been interesting enough to blog about. And besides, i m talking to about 5 people here. Also i was sick all last week, which was not fun. Not fun in the least bit. Well the thing is that i wasn't the only one of my friends that was sick. Turns out a whole bunch of people who went to the second week of Ojai got sick, weird. But i am proud to say, i survived my sickness and was able to sing that weekend. So there you have it. I'm not sure if i will be blogging daily again but hey what happens, happens.

Ojai '09 Oh My!

I just came back from the best week of camp in the world!

So Great!

So Fun!

So Strange....but still great!

I saw God work in such awesome ways I couldn't believe. GOD IS SO AMAZING!

And now for the main event.........a lovely list of just some of my favorite things about my week.

1. The Camp. Oh what a beautiful place! Oh what a beautiful first sight to see when i woke up each morning. The whole place was incredible! It was even better at night with all those gorgeous, bright stars placed in the night sky. Whenever i looked up at those precious things i was reminded oh how creative God is. I was just in awe of how He could come up with all of it! That's one of the reasons why i love camp. To get away from the city, focus on God, and enjoy the beauty.


2. The Speaker. Josh Riebock. I loved how he told stories that i have heard millions of times and show me something new in them. He just explained things so dang good! He is such an awesome, hilarious, and powerful speaker. His stories have changed the way i will live out my faith from now on.


3. The Rec. games. So crazy. So fun! So brilliant.


4. The God moments. It was God moment after God moment with me and one specific friend of mine. I loved it! I love how God worked in us through are talks. Some of you might say, "Those just might be simple coincidence." But wrong! It was so amazing, indescribable, and just plain awesome.


5. Date/Camps Got Talent/Dance Party Night. Oh my what an awesome way to spend the last night/morning of camp. My date...a freshmen friend. The talent show............so DANG funny! Oh and the dance party even better! It was so fun! I just danced the morning away with some awesome people. We are so crazy when we're together and i love it with a very large chunk of my heart.



6. The Fellow Camp Peeps. I made some awesome new friends and got closer with some awesome old ones. I love how I not only got closer in my relationship with God but also with some great friends. It was just what I needed. I had such amazing and growing conversations. I was surrounded with so many awesome people that I am so lucky to be able to call my friends.


7. The Food. Ok maybe not the food.

Now I have a surprise for all 5 of you who read my blog. Some of my favorite pictures curticy of Harry (my camera).

Kyle and then Grant being a creeper in the back. We're just so awesome!

Devon, he's so great.

Friends of whom i love.

Mr. Tumnus (Heather) and Lucy (ME!) from Narnia remake. I love this with a large chunk of my heart.

Andrew and I. Just 2 dorky actin', God lovin', HSM band singin' people who just so happen to be friends.

So as you can see i pretty much had one of the best weeks of my life.

Bye For Now

I am saying goodbye to you for one reason.

I leave for Ojai today!!!!

I am so DANG excited!!!!

Surrounded by awesome people that I love with a large chunk of my heart,

fun and

I'm so stoked to see what God has in store for me while I'm there!

WOOT WOOT!

OJAI HERE I COME!!!!

Meet Harry!

Yep my brand new camera. Just got him last night. And ever since then we have been inseparable. I just love the little guy. I even have a case for him. We are so excited to go to camp on Sunday and just take sooo many pictures. And that's Harry's favorite thing to do.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Box Form

What started out as a pile of boxes near my mom's office in the church office turned in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, I was board and I love Harry Potter. Put that and a pile of boxes together and you get this. Enjoy.

An Owl up there^^^^

Harry, Ron and Hermione down here.

Hogwarts, or a poor attempt.

October 1st, Could you Come Any Slower?

As of now if I want to get a new phone Sprint only gives me a $75 rate. Meaning that only 75 dollars of it if free.

Which sucks because when getting a new phone, that's not a lot of money.

So I have to wait until October first when that doubles to $150, which is so much better than $75. Also i can get a nicer phone too .

I've had my old one for i think a little over 2 years. Or a little under. Point is i really don't like my phone very much. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for it but it gets old after a long while. Especially when you've been wanting a new one for a long time. You know what i mean?

And so i say once again: "Aw well, it's worth the wait."

8% Done

I'm talking about Driver's Ed.

Ya that's right I'm back no track with it.

Now last time I had only one unit test done and then didn't start again until today. It feels good now that I have almost 10% done. It also feels good to be able to say that I'm once again working on getting my permit. The only thing is that I just want to be done with this so I can have my permit. The more friends that I know that have their permit or license the more it makes me want to be able to be done with this. But there's nothing more I can do but wait and keep on working. Oh well, it will be worth it in the end anyways.

And so for completing 4 unit tests i decided to reward myself with a few servings of chai tea.

I deserved it. :)

If you don't get what i mean well, think for a second.

Oh Dear! I'm Starting to Get Worried!

I just found out last night that my camera that I just got for Christmas, is broken. I'm gonna go to Target later on. Now I'm hoping that they will give me the money back and use that money pulse some cash I have saved up to buy this other camera for $280.00. Oh dear i do hope this works out. Now I know what your thinking. "What's the big deal, it's just a camera, I know you like 'em and stuff but what's the rush?". First oh all, it is a big deal and here's why.
