Yesterday we got snow in GA!!! =D I was so amazed that it wasn't just flurries either. It was probably at least 2 inches. I didn't get many pictures of it, but Camille, Maggie, Abby and I made an igloo in our back yard, and here are some pictures of it.

hi everyone!

Hope you all are having a wonderful new years! I'm going to post something else as soon as something comes up worth posting. =)

Christmas Stuff

Today was a pretty busy day. This morning we went to church as usual, Abby and I had children's ministry. After that the church held a cookie reception, and we all had some good-looking cookies. (I only say that because I didn't have any :) After church, me and my family went home and ate lunch, then around 2:00pm the kids and my mom went to Old Town Woodstock square and had one of our friends Chelsea take some picture of us to send to my Grandma. (On my mom's side.) So after that, we went back home and just chilled (literally) for a while, then around 5 we drove over to our favorite restaurant Carrabbas. (prob. Spelled wrong) Every year around Christmas it's my family's tradition to go out to eat somewhere, and since we only go annually, it's really enjoyable. This morning I think I pinched a nerve in my back or something so the entire time we were in the restaurant, it was not enjoyable and I was not comfortable, but God was good and we had WONDERFUL food. The food was REALLY good AND I ate SQUID!!! =O it's really good, and since it was fried you couldn't see what it looked like. =) So after dinner my family and I drove around some neighborhoods in the area to look at Christmas lights (as we do every year) But this year they all stunk. So, instead of looking for the best, we were bad and made fun of the worst. We found it in our very neighborhood. It was simply just a small clump of lights on the house. Pretty random, and really funny. =) After that we all came home, and have been hanging out for a while and now I am going to go to bed.

Best Commercial EVER!

Virginia

Last week my family and I went to Virginia for Thanksgiving, and we just got back this morning at 1:20 =D We had a really fun time, and I'm so happy we could go.

Thursday/Thanksgiving/race/Virginia day 1:

Thursday started out with my dad running a marathon, and Abby running a half marathon. They both did amazing! After they were finished, we went straight from their race to Virginia. A total of ten hours so we got to our destination at around 10:00pm. Not too bad. While we were in Virginia, we stayed with the Warnecke's, a family that's a long-time friend of ours. After we got to their house, we pretty much just sat around and talked, after a while we went to bed from a long day.

Friday/Black Friday/My Birthday/Virginia day 2:

Friday, My Birthday! I turned 14. We just slept in, and woke up to some wonderfully made pancakes made by Mr. Warnecke. Then after a little relaxing, Abby, Aliya, Shaun Warnecke, and I went to the mall. I was looking for a book at the book store there, but they didn't have it. So, we pretty much just walked around and ran into some people we knew. After a little while we went home, and by then Mrs. Warnecke and my mom were cooking our "Thanksgiving" dinner. even though it was late, we had some delicious ham, rolls, and this potato side thingy. =) After dinner, some other friends of ours the Hermans came over to play games and such. In addition to them Rachel Baures also came because she was on a sort of vacation there too. =D after a long night of playing games, and laughing we finally went to bed, and the Hermans and Rachel went home.

Saturday/Virginia day 3:

Saturday Mr. Warnecke made his famous large breakfast with french toast, and REAL bacon ;) Saturday we sat around as usual and watched some tv. A little later Abby went to our OTHER friends house the Mandls (sp?) She used to do mother's helper for them when they lived in Colorado with us, but when both of us moved she stopped. My mom, Aliya, and Mrs. Warnecke went to the mall to look for some clothes for Joel. While they were gone I got to go play Frisbee-golf with my dad, Joel, and all of the Warnecke boys. And this other guy Benjamin Rhodes. I had a pretty fun time playing, Joel won all 18 holes with a score of 57 (par was 54) and then Mr. Warnecke was in second, and I don't know the rest. =D I came in second to last with 91 points, and BARELY missed Ben, his score was 90. One of the Warneckes Aaron TECHNICALLY came in last, he lost his Frisbee in the water, and then also lost the extra one too. He was a good sport about it though, so he was out of the game at hole 10 or so. After that we all went home and just watched tv. We made a couple of frozen pizzas and just hung out. At nine we watched Elf, and then went to bed at 11 or so.

Sunday/Church/We leave/Virginia day 4:

Sunday we went to church and got to hear a wonderful message from Eric Hughes. After church, we stayed and talked to some of our friends for a little while then went back to the Warnecke's to pack up our stuff. After we left the Warnecke's we went to some OTHER friends of ours the Rhodes, for lunch. =D We had Chinese food which was REALLY good, then we kids just sat in their family room and talked about life while we watched football. =) Around 3:00pm we left their house and started our long journey home. As I said before we didn't get home until around 1:20am so it was a long night.

all in all I had a great time, oh and I hope this post made sense, there was so much to cram into it, it might have been kinda jumbled. =)

Look what I can do with my computer!!!

And no, it's not a mac.

Birthday/150

this is my 150th post on my blog!! =D And look what I found that was an old post from two years ago.

12 at last!

This Tuesday, the 27th, I will be turning 12 at last! I'm very excited! The Lord has really worked in my life for these almost 12 years.
Everyone Have a Good Christmas and New year! (I'll try to post some pictures)

=) and very shortly I will be turning 14! whoo-hoo. My parents said that I might be able to apply at Chick-fil-a and Publix on my birthday, but that might not worked out as I hoped. So HOPEFULLY I'll apply the Wednesday AFTER my birthday- Nov 2nd? =) anyways I'm really excited. Although some of my friends are almost 15 now, God has been blessing me for 14 years with fruitful friendships. (as I said before) He's blessed me with great family, great friends, a great church, (great teachers), and most of all great love from him. thank you all for being in my life!
