Are You Ready?

O.K.
Humor me. I'm gonna act like Hannah Montana for a couple seconds.

Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Let's go!

Now, I'm done. My question is, are you ready for school to start? I am SO TOTALLY NOT!!!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be starting my sophomore(wise fool) year at CHHS, but getting all my stuff yesterday was a little depressing. I only have a week and a half of summer left! Oh, and yesterday, if you're wondering, I went to school to get all my stuff. That includes I.D., agenda, temporary schedule, all my books, my new class t-shirt, and so on. This year, I am taking:
Chemistry H
World History H
English 10H
Spanish 2
Geometry
Athletic PE
And that's it. NO LINK KREW!!!!!!! Well, I'm hoping that I can become a leader next year, cause you can get a letter for it. Like for the arts, not sports. So, I'll probably have a Letterman's Jacket going into SENIOR YEAR!!! Wowza....that's only two years away...scary. Anyways, all I have to get for school now are some new folders, binders, and, best of all, CLOTHES!!!! You have to look good on your first day of school...haha!

See ya soon!

SCHOOL COUNTDOWN: 12 DAYS

HUME LAKE 2010!!!!!!!!!!

O.K. I just got back from an awesome week at Hume Lake! Excusez-Mwa?!... was totally amazing! I kinda lost my camera for a couple days, so I have pictures from the beginning of the week, and then the last two days...so the pictures are kinda spread apart a little. Sorry about that. Haha. Anyways...back to Hume! Let me say, Rich Baker, Megan Fate, Tyler Miller, Marco(don't know his last name...), Chuck Bomar, and our band, Above The Golden State, WERE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They all made this week even better in their own little way. From the bike jump, to Kajabe Can-Can, to recreation, to the gauntlet(GO CHARLES!!!!), to Chuck's preachings, there's nothing i can really say. Its all so overwhelming. Now...for the pictures! Oh, and by the way, my team, the Leather Belts for OCT, came in 7th place! Top Ten Baby! And sorry for the long post of just pictures, but it was a really long week!

Group shot before leaving!

Picture Updates!

Well, I thought to my self...about 5 minutes ago, "I haven't shown many pictures lately." So I found my camera, plugged it into the computer, I uploaded the pictures, and now here I am, sharing my pictures with all of you! So without further ado...here they are!

We went to Reno for Meg's volleyball tournament.

HUME COUNTDOWN: 9 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

My Crazy, Busy Life

Well, I have so much to do! That is...in the next two weeks. As i write this, I am sitting in a chair in my pajamas with my hair all messed up...cause I am taking advantage of my three weeks off of volleyball. Yay! I can relax before it starts up again...NOT! On Sunday, me, Mom, Dad, Meg, Court, Peach, Kendie, and Nuckolls all leave to Park Moabi by the Colorado River for some camping with the Rowlands! That last until Thursday, only because I have to pick up a registration packet for school, and if I don't, I can't go to school this year. I only wish...cause that would be fun!
Then on Sunday, we leave for...drumroll please...
HUME LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to go there. This year's theme is Excueze Mwa?(It's in French...haha) Im excited...did I already say that? Oops. There are smoothie and coffee shops, general stores, milkshake places(and other food), it's a little town that is my favorite place in the world.

Well, thats all for right now. Back to my relaxing day off!

See ya soon!

Hume Countdown: 11 Days!!!!!!!!!!!

Mess of Me

I have been thinking about this song, Mess of Me, by Switchfoot, ever since my friend, ReilySmiley wrote about it on her blog, Dive Into Life. Its a really good song. Here are the lyrics...

I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
There ain't no drug that they could sell
Ah, there ain't no drug to make me well

There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug, it's not enough
The sickness is myself

I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive

I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
The rest of my life alive

We lock our souls in cages
We hide inside our shells
It's hard to free the ones you love
Oh, when you can't forgive yourself
Yeah, forgive yourself

There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
Ah, there ain't no drug
The sickness is myself

I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive

I made a mess of me
I wanna reverse this tragedy
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my live alive
The rest of my life alive

Right, there ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
No drugs to make me well

There ain't no drug
It's not enough
I'm breaking up
The sickness is myself
The sickness is myself

I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my life alive

I made a mess of me
I wanna reverse this tragedy
I made a mess of me
I wanna spend the rest of my live alive
The rest of my life alive

I was thinking, we are the main focus of this song. We are addicted to the world's standards, and there is no "drug" to make us well again. We wanna get back to where we were, but we can't. The only thing that will make us well again is Jesus. He is the "drug" we've been looking for. He is the only way we can be restored to our old self.
Just something to think about.

See ya soon!

UPDATES!!!!!!

Well...lemme say. I AM ADDICTED TO VOLLEYBALL! I have it 4 hours a day except Mondays where i have about 2 hours more, and then all the days of the week! Is that crazy or what?! And to make it better, I have tendonitis in my right knee. AWESOMENESS! So...yeah. That's life for me right now.

Fun...

See ya soon!

And by the way, HUME IS IN 15 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sacramento or Bust!

O.K... Sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I have been In Reno, Nevada, watching my sister Meghan in the Junior National Championships for volleyball, in Lake Tahoe, we've only stayed here for one night, and now we are heading out to Sacramento, California, for Courtney's missed 4th grade field trip.

This vacation has been so busy and fun! Not to mention tiring. I am so exhausted! But it has been a blast! In about an hour, we are going to Sacramento. Courtney's class this year went to Sacramento on a field trip for two days; but because we couldn't afford the plane ticket, she didn't go. That's the reason we are not home right now...haha! And that's also why Meghan won't be going on her video scavenger hunt, and I'm not at Raging Waters right now. Boo. But it's all family bonding, which i love! <3

Well gotta go! Loading up all my stuff in the car! Yippee!

See ya soon!
