~Mission Trip 2008~

Two weeks ago I went with my youth group on a mission trip to Arizona and had an awesome time!!!

We stayed with our youth leaders parents. They had a pool and room to fit all of us. 4 leaders, 4 girls and 8 guys.

We left on Friday and drove until we got to El Paso and then stopped for the night. That night for dinner we ate at Fuddruckers. I was one of the few that had ever been there to eat. After we ate, all of the youth went and played the arcade games. One of the guys and I played the game where you have the guns and you shoot the bad people. He started playing after I did and I still had 1 or 2 lives left when he died in the game. It was funny! The next morning we had to get up really early! We finally got to their house on Saturday around lunch time. The rest of that day we unpacked and then went swimming.

On Sunday we drove 2 additional hours to get to a national park that had a natural water slide! It also had some cliffs you could jump off. There was a 35-ft, 20-ft, and 10-ft. cliff. I only jumped off the 20ft. and 10ft cliffs. The water was melted snow, so it was really cold! We spent all day there! That night we went out to eat at this really good Mexican restaurant. I had Nachos, the plate was so big! I didn't even eat a 1/4 of it!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we volunteered at this organization called "neighborhood ministries" It was hard work but worth doing, knowing you are doing it for God. God can use us in so many ways.

The first day my group scrapped gum off the carpets. It wasn't very much fun! We had some spray stuff to help get it off. We started spraying each other with it and then we had to go buy more and found out that it was $8.00 a bottle (And that was with a discount because we were buying so much) After finding that out we stopped spraying it on each other.... At least we tried not to spray each other anymore :)

The next day my group painted. One of the guys and I painted the bathroom hall way. We spent 5 hours in that hall way with no AC! When everyone else was done we still hadn't finished painting so one of the other guys came in and helped us while everyone else left. When we were driving back the pastor told us if we found a Sonic on the way back, since there was only us 3, him and another leader, he would stop and get us something to drink. So we were looking everywhere! We found one but he wasn't in the right lane. And he wouldn't turn back around! We weren't so happy. But we lived :)

On Wednesday we all were working on the floors. In the class rooms we had to scrap the floors, sweep, mop and wax. We did 4 or 5 rooms. Four of the guys and I were assigned to clean the halls and bathroom floors. They didn't give us anything to put on the floors so while we were painting we got paint everywhere! I think we got more on the floor and each other then what we got on the walls.

Every night when we got back from working we had a Bible study. We study the whole book of Galatians. We started out the week with a group which had 3 kids and an adult. We stayed in our groups for 2 days. The next 2 days they split us up in groups of 2 people. The oldest guy and me were put together. For the last 2 days we all had to do the Bible study by ourselves. But each day right before bed we all got together and went over everything we learned (or should have learned) that day. I learned a lot!

On Thursday we started our trip back. They drove all the way to Odessa and then stopped for the night. I finally fell asleep at around midnight and had to get up the next morning at 5am! On Friday we finally made it back home.

It was a long trip and like ever trip it had its ups and downs. But for me there was more ups then downs. I loved sitting out ever night talking with everyone and just watching how everyone got along and how some people just didn't get along. I can't wait to go on next years mission trip! Its going to be so much fun!

Just for my aunt....

Last weekend I was down in SA for SOAR! It was so much fun! Had a great time with everyone!
We learned lots about how, when, where and what worship is about!

Yesterday Nik and I went out shopping. (Or at least that is what she thought we were doing :)
We went by Target, JCPennys and then by the bank. After we left the bank it was 2 something, and we were going to go by and get a drink from Sonic. On the way to sonic I decided I wanted to go see a movie! So I kidnapped Nik for the afternoon to go see a movie! We watched "Wanted" This was one of the best movies I have seen in such a long time! There are so many twist and turns! If you can get past all the bad words in it, Its a great movie!

From netflix this week we got the movie "Fractured" I liked this movie! It ended very good (I didn't see that coming!)

Tomorrow morning I am leaving out to go on a mission trip. So I won't be posting anything for at least a week (but if I wasn't going on the trip and staying here I most likely not post anything anyways :) But its all good! I will let you know how the trip goes...

Well that is it for now!

Lets see.... I haven't really been doing anything worth blogging about over the last few weeks. But I thought I should update everyone anyways :)

A couple of weeks ago I went to one of my friends birthday party. That night I got home around 11:30pm. All I had for dinner was a piece of cake. Mom and I were in the kitchen looking for me something to eat. Dad was in the living room and Nik was standing at the bar listening to everything that had happened that night. I was really tried, not really hungry and my head hurt. I started playing around and I kicked my leg up over the chair (Like I do quite often while I'm in the kitchen) But this time was different then all the other times. My foot got caught on the chair and I went face down onto the floor. It hurt so bad! My mom had no clue what happened all she heard was the chair falling to the ground and when she turn around there I was laying on the floor! It didn't help any that Nik was watching the whole time and couldn't stop laughing! The next day when I got up my arm had a knot in it and it was really bad bruised. But its all good now!

I started a quit a couple of months ago and I'm hand quilting it and its taking way longer then I would like it to. So I did as any person would do... I started another project!

These are bulletin boards that I painted! I took on this project because I knew I could finish it in one day :) Unlike the quilt I'm still working on.

This Thursday my youth group is going down to the river walk to a conference called SOAR. It should be lots of fun! We are driving down there and we have to be up at the Church at 6:45 AM! I haven't been up that early since I worked at the donut shop!

And then next Friday (July 11th) the youth group is going on a mission trip! We are going to Arizona and driving! That is going to be a long car ride! We aren't allowed to take our phones or iPods! I will let y'all know how that goes :)

So I think that is all for now. I will update ya when there is something to update about..... hope everyone is doing good!

My New Dress

I know it is too early to think about next year's Prom!

But how could I not buy this dress!
It fits and it only cost $15.00!!!
I thought the first year when I got my dress for $20.00
was going to be the best price I would ever pay for a prom dress!
Well its going to be my Senior Prom and its all just going to be bigger and better then all the past years right mom????

I was thinking since I did get my dress for only $15.00 maybe I could get my nails done??

This is what it looks like close up!

Well that is my prom dress for Prom 2009!
(as long as it still fits come next April :)

Mom I was also thinking maybe Nikki should go with me??? What do you think?? :)

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I though this was really funny and decided to share! Enjoy!



BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.


HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road.

This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every
chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......


DR.
PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE'
of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.



OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad.


So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls,
which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.



GEORGE W.
BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us.

There is
no middle ground here.



COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.




JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions.

I am not for it now, and
will remain against it.



NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.


PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.



MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level.

No little
bird gave me any insider information.



DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.



GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.

Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.



BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went
on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.




ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.




JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.



BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book.

Internet Explorer is an integral
part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ....... reboot.



ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken.






What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
