once again, ive been too busy to blog!!

Im back!!(:

Lifes been crazy as usual!!

Lets see, last weekend i went on a retreat up to Heber Overguard (idk the spelling) with my Honduras team!!(: It was awesome!! Heres a recap of what we did!!(:

Friday: after school we all met up at the church at 5ish to get the cars loaded and head out. The people in my car were awesome!! It was Cheyenne driving, then Jacque up front and then me and Kate in the back(: We stopped at the wallmart in Payson for a team builder/shopping trip. Heres what we did, Robert (our youth pastor) broke us up into our leadership teams and gave us all an envelope with a task inside it. For my team (water/cleaning team) we, meaning me and travis, had to buy lunch for thewhole team for saturday afternoon and make it under $20. He gave us 30 min to do this and meet back at the cars. So everyone runs off to do their stuff. Trav an i wanted to get stuff to make sandwiches for lunch so we go around getting all that stuff when we both thought of making chili instead!!(: Since its supposed to be cold and snowy in Heber. So he hops on the front of the cart and im pushing him to all the isles so we can put alll the sandwhich stuff back, well he didnt brace for the stop and totally fell into the cart. While im on the floor laughing hystarically, hes trying to get out and ended up fallin back in completly squishing the bread and popping open a bag of sunchips. Oh man, funniest thing ever!! You just had to be there i guess if you dont thinnk its that funny :p Anyways, we called robert asking how much time we had left and he said we had a min and 4 seconds left. so me and trav book it to where the chili would be and guess what???!!!! Wall mart has no chili!!!!! NONE!! So we grabbed 6 big cans of clam chowder, the open bag of sun chips and ran to check out lol Once everything was loaded into the cars, we kept on truckin! Made it to the huge cabin safe and sound!!(: The cabin was AH-MAY-ZA-ZING!! Two storries, like 6 bathrooms and two fireplaces at leat 4 bedrooms. Oh man, its was beautiful!!(:

Saturday: Woke up and had breakfast made by the Food team. (kate, jordan and anthony) then got together for a team building activity. We were each blindfolded and given a number. Then we all had to line up in order from smallest to biggest number. Problem was we couldt see or talk. That was pretty interesting, it took us a while but we finally got it(: Then we talked about Communication and Conflict Resolution. Therefore learning the 4 C's of Communication; Clear, Concise, Compassionate, Complete(: After that we had some free time(: It started snowing!!! So we had a mini snowball fight(: It got realllllllly cold so most of us just ended up back inside(: Then Lunch time, me and trav made our clam chowder(: everyone seemed to like it(: After that was some more kinda free time, some people went off to chop some wood while others stayed back at the cabin. Then dinner time!! We had pasta and bread and salad!!(: YUM!! we got Jacque to try an snot a noodle up her nose and make it come out of her mouth. I was recording(: lol She threw up on the last try making me have to run to the bathroom because i was going to throw up. Gross!! So, after that, Jacque and Lindsey decide it would be funny to make gagging noises around me to make me throw up!! Jerks!! :p After dinner was another team builder. This time we were in the garage and there were 4 cinder blocks placed out in the form of a cross. We had two pieces of wood and we had to get everyone from one side of the garage to the other without touching the ground. It was pretty tough especially because the first time only 4 people could talk and then the next time, everyone was blind folded except for 4 people and only 2 outta the 4 could talk. I was one of the ones who couldnt talk. It was really frustrating but fun! We eventually got it done!!(: After that was time with individual leadership teams to make a plan for when we are in Honduras and how to prepare an all that. Next was another team builder thing wher we all sat in a circle and took turns going into the middle. When we were in the middle we couldnt talk wile everyone else took turns saying good leadership skills and qualities that you have. It was cool(: During the time when i was in the middle, Robert made a new rule!! Everytime Travis makes a fat joke about me, i get to pick something for him to eat!!(: MUAHAHA!! Later that night, poor ol travis made a fat joke!! So i made him eat a dorito with ketchup on it!! (he hates ketchup) Oh man!! It was gross!! He pretty much threw it all up!!(: lol ohhh i like this new rule(: lol

Sunday: Last day :( sad sad day :( I really didnt want to go home!! We finished the circle activity after breakfast and then raced around the cabin getting everything cleaned so we could go. After the cabin was cleaned, we took a group picture (whilch i will upload later) and then loaded up the cars and headed home!! Since it was snowing and really windey, we had one of the leaders drive our car so me jacque and kate were in the back(: It was a fun ride home because we had some awesome music blasting, the people in our car were the best and it was snowing!!(: -----> SNOW!! I took this from inside the car(: Isnt it pretty?? Then we finally made it home and had to come back to reality :/ thats never fun!! lol One of the most enjoyable weekends ive had in a long time(: I cant wait for Honduras!!(:

Heres a video of some of the snow!! I dont remember when i took it though lol(:

Well thats all for now!!

I cant wait to get to know my team members better and build stranger relationships with them and I cant wait to see what God has in store for all of us!!*(:

Look how cute Abby is!!(: ----->

Oh an sad times, my mom and i talked and i have to find her a new home :(

I want it to keep raining!!!(: Ohhhh the Season premier of Burn Notice was on last night!!!! And our stinkin cable went out at the end!!! I was sooooooo mad!!! It went off just as Michael was saying something very importans to his mom!!! UGH!

Look!! Im an AVATAR!!! :p ahahahahah I got really bored and drew all over my hand. (Totally random) If you have seen th movie Avatar and share my appreciation of it, you will understand!! lol

Today: School was fun!! I really didnt want to be in class at all!! I wanted to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather!! My day was not productive at all except for Physics. That was actually fun today(: I understood what i was doing for once!! lol All my other classes were pointless. In math, i found out that there are 9 ceiling tiles length wise and 15 tiles width wise in our classroom(: Thats how bored i was!!!!

SO my friend found this puppy at her house in Queen Creek and we are trying to find a home for him, (my mom said no lol) so if youre interested, call me!!(:

Look at the tattoo i want to get!!(: Im not gonna get it anytime soon because i dont have any money lol but I have been wanting this for a long time!! (its the symbols, not including the horizontal lines on the paper lol) It means, "He came. He died. He rose again. He ascended. He's coming back" So its not just some random tattoo i want to get, it actually means something to me and i have thought it all through. When i get it, its going to be small and thin, right across my left wrist(: So im really excited for it!!(:

Oh, so i found my car(: lol its a 2004 Scion Xb. its not yellow but its still cute! (navey blue) And its got low miles on it, automatic, no dents or scratches, good MPG, pretty much brand new, and only $4100 (: So, with all that i have saved for it, its only $4100!! hahah woo hoo! :p

Oh man, look at my funny goat. While i was gettin her water, she opened up the shed and knocked over the bucket with her pellets in it. What a lil smarty!!

Well, i think that is all for today, so you all have a wonderful evening!! Love ya and God bless!!

"The words of the Lord are flawless.."

hmmmm, oh so i have started to read the book of Psalms every day(: (starting with yesterday lol) I want to read at least one Psalm a day(: So last night i read Psalms 1-5!! It was soooo good i couldnt put it down!! I cant wait till tonights reading!! My favorite part from last nights reading was Psalm 5: 4-8


"You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
with you the wicked cannot dwell.
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
you hate all who do wrong.
You destroy those who tell lies;
bloodthirsty and deceitful men
the Lord abhors.



But I, by your great mercy,
will come into your house;
in reverence will I bow down
toward your holy temple.
Lead me, O Lord in your righteousness
because of my enemies-
make straight your way before me."



I dont know whay, i just love that part! It is so mighty and powerful yet loving and caring at the same time. God is so good!!(:

Well, thats all for today! Hope you all have a wonderful evening!! I will write back soon!!(:

Over an out!! ;p


quote for the day!!!
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34 I just opened up my bible and looked for a highlighted verse and POW! Thats what i came up with(: I love those verses, but they are easier said than done!!!!!!!

SunMon(:

Ok i am back now!!(:

Sad day for the Cards on Saturday :/ we didnt win. But the odds were not in our favor! We were up against a team who was at home, all members were healthy and the were well rested unlike us who had a bunch of hurt key players, coming off a short week after an amazing game!! Oh well, my boys did good(: At least we made it to the playoffs unlike stupid pittsburg!! :P Oh an what really pushed my buttons during the game was when Warner took that hard hit (an yes, it was a clean hit, even though it looked terrible) and the stupid camera man zoomed right in on him on the ground!! Like, right in on his face! What the heck?!! Seriously, you dont do that! How Rude and inconsiderate!! Lame camera man! Thankfully Warner is all right(: Not sure if he will be back next year, but i think he will be(: I have to go to one of his games before he retires!! lol an dont worry, he wont pull a "brett favre" lol Oh and Kurt Warner makes a guest appearence on the tv show The Suite Life On Deck (disney channel lol) on friday!! I am soooo gonna watch that ;p ahahaha oh an, Im calling it right now, Saints vs. Colts in the superbowl!!(: That will be a great game!! ;p Wow thats gonna be a great weekend!! I turn 18 and then the next day ill be able to watch my boy Payton (MVP BABY!!) win that superbowl!!!(; muahahah!!

Anyways, the last two days have been crazy!!! Sunday i woke up an went to church!! helped out in the 5th and 6th grade, i just love those kids!! it is sooooooooo much fun!! They always put a smile on my face in the morning!! Then went to service with me parents!!(: Great service as always!!(: Then went to high school service!!(: We had a "somewhat" guest speaker lol he was really good!! and he looked like matt damon :) After church went to my best friends crib and chilled there! Her mom made us tacos!! yummmm!! Then we watched friends bloopers till it was time to head over to play some WALLEYBALL!!!(: soooo much fun!! Rushed home from walleyball to get changed and "de-sweaty" (haha new word!!) in time to go to the movies with some friends! We went and saw The Book Of Eli!!! Oh man!! AWESOME MOVIE!! plus, that was my first time going to see a rated R movie at the theaters lol it was weird getting carded ;p hahha after the movie we all went to Dairy queen! Oh man, sooo fun! Ice cream some how ended up in katelyns hair, on her car, on travs shirt and in eachothers faces lol (and i really had nothing to do with it!!) haha then from there we went to some random park and just chilled! we are sooooo weird!!

I didnt go to bed until like 1:45 a.m!! and then woke up at 5:30am this morning to go hiking!! ;p but it was totally worth it!! A bunch of us met up at a frinds house then headed out to Squawpeak!!!(: On the way there me an Andrew kinda took a lil de-tour lol but we met back up with the rest of the group! Once we started hiking it started to rain!! It was soooo cold but yet amazing!!! As long as we kept moving we were good!! we hiked a lot!! It was soooooo fun!! On the way back, me an Ashley kept up with the boys and ran like crazy!! so beastly!! ;p lol Finally we made it back to the warm cars and started to head to sonic for some grub!! Well, the car i was in, we um kinda got lost....for a while...lol but in the end, we got to our final destination safe and sound!!(: Oh sooooooo much fun!!! Never a dull moment with the group!!(: I eventually got home around 12:45 in the afternoon and pretty much just relaxed the rest of the day(: Ahhhhh i just love days like today!! The morning started of great and then the weather was amazing!!! And now im probably going to go eat some dinner and then drift off into a deep sleep...ahh love it!!!(:

Oh, heres a pic from green cuts/painting last friday!!(: thats me, Jacque, Cody, Jordan, Cheyenne and Sinjin (travis drew him in because he was there to help but didnt stay for the picture) lol Yes i know my clothes dont match but i was only painting ;p So that has been my crazy yet amazing life for the past two days!!! I just love it! But, my mom says i gotta sort out my priorities :/ which means less friend time :/ ugh stupid school!! It always gets in the way!! well, dinner is almost ready and i really dont know what else to say (SHOCKER!!) so i will talk to the few of you who actually read this tomorrow hopefully!! ;p

Peace out!!!(:
