Then at 6:30 i went to my leadership training meeting for 5th an 6th grade for church. (i was still at the church sorting lol) so i took a break from that. After the meeting, me and travis c. helped cody go around to some peoples houses and pic up the stuff they were donating to our garage sale.

Sunday: Helped with 5th and 6th grade as usual. Afte r doing the Experience 25 mission trip thingy with them, they are a lot more open with me i guess, like more comfortable(: ugh but they all still think that me and travis c. are brother and sister lol so we just go along with it. Like i walked into the God Squad room and some randon kid that i had never met before was like, "Hey its travis coles little sister!" oh man lol if anything, im the older sibling!!(: haha after that i went into service. Loved worship!! Oh and ive like made up a little game where i try and guess the ending song by what Scott and Chad close with in their prayers.

I didnt watch the whole thing because i needed to go to bed which i didnt end up doing till like 2am lol I stayed up reading stuff in my bible.

I have been wanting to redo my room since like forever!! lol but in order to paint my room i need money for paint so im selling my fish tank, its just taking up space in my room and i really only have 2 fish in it lol Mike, my third fish died a few weeks ago :(

EXPERIENCE 25

Sunday from 4pm till Monday at 5pm. Fasting for 20 hrs.

Got to the church and one all the kids were there we started building their cardboard houses that they were gonna sleep in at church(: So fun!! Then after that we(me, trav and lindsey) took about 20 of the kids to the neighborhood next to the church and went door to door asking for no perishable food items for a food drive(: The kids did sooooo good!!!(: Then went back to the church for the lesson. Had some speakers talk about Helping Hands in Africa than after that we had free time. For free time, we had a big dance party in the auditorium and then some kids went to the portables with David and either watched a movie or played games. Once we finally go the kids to bed and in their appropriate rooms, the leaders could finally rest and go to sleep!! Then back up in the morning for some work projects around the church!! Free time again, and then finally a feast! All the kids were like, "ugh im starrrrrrrving! Im huuuuungry!" all day long! No you are NOT starving, kids in Africa are freaking starving! So we go them Hungry Howies (idk spelling on that) pizza and some cookies. Then after that a few more lessons and then free time till their parents came to pick them up. All in all, it was a great experience for the kids, just a little preperation for when they go on real mission trips and all that fun stuff(:

The girls working on their houses!!

Then the boys working on theirs(:

theres Lindsey, trav and me!! takin pics on the computer while the kids were having their dance party lol what great leaders!! ;) haha then thats the group of girls we took to go collect canned foods(: The video i was trying to upload, but didnt work is just of one of the games we had the kids play(: It was to kinda immitate the carrying of water jusgs that people do in Africa many times a day. It was also to wear the kids out before bed but man they were like the freaking energizer bunny! they just kept goin an goin and goin!!! haha

here are a few quotes from the night(: haha remember, we were all realllllly exhausted!!

(our room we were in for leaders was quite, we had just stopped talking and were all layin down) "im glad i dont live in another country.........this sucks!" -David lol we busted up laughin after that hahah

"Silly David, monkeys dont live in houses!" -Jesse

"Way to be literaturish!!"(trav) "Wow, you tell her travis! David, youre the English major, you correct him." (Jesse) "Awwwwwwwwwww hes probably judging our grammer!" (lindsey) "YUP! and your spelling tooooo!" (David) "What? how the heck is that possible?" (me) "I can hear how you spell it when you speak." (David)

"Maybe theyre going to the bathroom, its harmless." (David) "or maybe they are playing with switchblade in the hallway." (Jesse)

"I cant sleep!" (one of the kids standing at our door at like 1 am) "Why is that our problem?!!" (jesse)

"DAVID!! Matthew is giving me dating advice! Hes trying to be all Dr. Phill on me!" (Jesse) (matther is one of the 5th and 6th grade boys)

"Why do they call it a cat fight?" (one of the boys) "Well its because the girls act like cats and us guys apparently act like dogs" (matthew)

"I dont think the girls havd ears." (Ross, one of the lil boys)

"Yeah! well i can do a triple salchow over a burning truck while holding a baby segal without letting the olympic torch go out!" (Jesse) yeah im not quite sure what we were talking about there......lol

hahah oh man, we all had a blast!! But we were soooooooooooooooooooo glad to be home lol we were exhausted!!! haha lets see, once i got home i got in the shower and then went to bed!! haha

now to today!!(: Woke up early and went to this spa/tanning place it was awesome!! I did this like deep moisturizer thingy. so pretty much a steam bath i guess. I felt like i was going into space or like in a lil space ship thingy lol it was pretty cool! then after that i did this mystic tan thing. My mom wantedme to do it before my sr pics lol. While i was gettin it done, i just kept laughin to myself thinking about the Friends episode where Ross goes to get a spray on tan and he messes up and keeps spraying the front of his body lol oh man the lady incharge waled by and asked if i was ok cuz she heard me chuckling hahah so funny! Then came home and got abby ready to go to her new home :( I didnt cry!! i was so surprised! I held it all back, so eventually somethin will hapen that will cause the dam to break and it to alll come pouring out at once lol :p but Abby should be happy at her new home. The dad has just become her new best friend(: so im not worried. Katelyn came with me. Once we got back home, me and her went out to lunch at Arbys(: thats like our place lol hung out with her for a while then came home and did chores and all that not so fun stuff!

Thats been my life for the past few days! Tomorrow should bring about happiness too!!(: I will be dying my hair in the am then going to the movies with Brett and his sis in the pm!!(: lol So excited!! Going to see Alice in Wonderland!! ye yeah!!(:

GUESS WHAT?!! ITS SPRING BREAK!! WOOT WOOT!! Finally lol only like 75 more days till graduation!! Heck Yeah!!(:

Anyways, hello there!! Hope you are having a wonderful day(:

Hmm lets see, yesterday was thursday! What did i dooo....

oh! Instead of staying after school till my FFA meeting like i normally do, i went home with Cheyenne and we just went to random places(: First we went to the bank, then to some bridal store where they have the prom dress i want(: next we went to wallmart to get a memory card for Jacque's camera, and finally to Ulta(: It was fun!! Then later she took me back up to the school for my meeting!! What a great friend!! I just love that girl!! After the meeting i came home and guess what?!! I had no homework!! Woah!! I like those days(: Later, instead of going to the volleybally game, i went with my brother and his wife to go get her tattoo!!(: It was soooooo cool!! We went to Hot Rod Tatto i think thats what its called!! Thats her and my brother (Josh and Lynn) looking at the placement of the design before he actually starts tattooing(: then thats her gettin it done(: The tattoo artist was sooo funny!! lol when we asked what his favorite tattoo was that he has done, he said a turtle with mushrooms growing off its back lol random!! Thats definitely not what we were expecting him to say :p The finished tat(: haha i love it!! I showed them what i want to get, and they priced it out at like 60-70$ (: not bad!! When he started Lynns tattoo, i was so nervous!! lol but she said it didnt really hurt, so I think i can handle it!!(: haha when i was there i was thinking about what i could get pierced, but i think i would rather get my tattoo(: Its much cooler!! I draw it out on my wrist like every day!! I love explaining it to people!!!(: love it!!

OH! You will never believe what happened to me yesterday!! I sliced my tongue open on a freakin blow pop!!!! Who would have thought a sucker could be dangerous?!! Oh man, it hurt so bad!! and it wouldnt stop bleeding!! gross!!! It split open again today at school lol i accidentaly bit my tongue, so yeah...ouch!! gross huh??!! That was like after the bleeding started to slow down... ewww!! hahaha but look at my straight teeth!! Those dumb braces paid off lol (:

hmm thats pretty much all that was interesting yesterday lol today so far has been ok(: I was so proud of myself with my "good morning" text that i sent out...this is what i said...."an God said "Let it be friday!" God saw that it was Friday and God saw that it was good!" hahah isnt that clever??!! Well, i thought so(: School was ok i guess. 1st hour was boring as usual :p 2nd hour we took a "diversity survey" then messed around with this cool game called crayon physics or something like that, 3rd hour we started talking about topic choices for our research papers and then 4th hr we talked about how bad we all did on the math test and then i listened to Butters ipod while he texted people from my phone, once again i apologize if you recieved any of his texts lol remember, it wasnt me!! haha i had to stay after today just for 5th hr so a friend could take me home. so i went and got my transcripts sent out to some colleges WEIRD! lol while i was their, one of the receptionist ladies was like "hey! are you Josh's little sister?" and i was like, "umm...yeah" she was all "oh well him and my son used to be best friends from elementary to high school. Tell him Mrs. Root says hi!" haha it was sooooooo random!! I though i was in trouble at first lol after school my daddy took me out to lunch!! we were originally going to go to a place called Lu Lu's Tacos but i didnt want mexican food :p so then we went to Freddys at gilbert and....baseline..?? i think lol it was yummmy!!(: Now my moms taking me out to go shopping!! So weird lol well i think this is long enough for today(: idk what else to say!! (SHOCKER!!)

I will leave you with some wise words from the movie Zombieland....

"Have you heard of Pacific Play Land?" (Little Rock) "That place totally blows!!.......my mind. Just fun for the whole family.." (Tallahassee)

"In Mexico, you know what they call twinkies? Los submarinos." (Tallahassee)

"There's a box of twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any twinkie, the last box of twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, twinkies have an expiration date. Some day, very soon, life's twinkie gauge is gonna go....empty." (Tallahassee)

"Im not good at farewells, so uh...that'll do pig." (Tallahassee) "That't the worst goodbye i've ever heard and you stole it from a movie!" (Columbus)

for those of you who have no idea what any of that is, lol watch Zombieland!! :p so funny!!

Rainy days!!(: Gotta love 'em!!(:

'ello there!!(:

soo lets see, i missed friday, saturday and sunday. Well you know the drill, here goes!!(: Fasten your seat belts, its gonna be a bumpy ride!! :p

Friday: CDE Competition Day!! (career development event) Woke up at like 4am to be at the school at 5am!! Then left at like 5:30 ish for Tucson!! On the way there we saw the bad charter bus accident!! It was crazy!! I was gonna take a picture, but idk it felt wrong for me to do that..but i have never seen so many cop cars and fire trucks in one place!! The sun hadnt come up yet, so it was bright red and blue! (from the lights lol) then like 10 or 15 min after we passed it, everyones phones started going off because all of our parents were freaking out because they thought it was our bus that had flipped...crazy!! My mom an dad said that it was one of the scarriest moments of their life!! :/ Anyways, after we got to U of A's ag campus, we went and did our thing. My competition was Nursery/Landscaping :p we had to identify 20 landscape plants, 20 landscape tools, 10 plant disorders and how to treat them and then answer questions based off of a landscape plan. Pretty cool(: Our team took 4th outta like 15. Thats pretty good i guess. We dont know our individual placings yet..then after we finished, we went and sat in the grass waiting for the other teams to finish up. Then got kicked off of the grass because they needed the area for the livestock judging competition, so we went back to sit on the bus. When we walked up to the bus, our bus driver was sleeping(: So funny!! haha then once all of our teams were done, we went over to the student union to eact lunch and then wait for the awards ceremony. We got home that day at like 7:30 ish. loooooooooooooooong day!! lol I was exhausted!! I came home and pretty much crashed on the couch!!(:

Saturday: Woke up early to get out to the Superstition mountains for my family's February/March birthday celebration(: When we got there, the park was packed!! There was like no parking anywhere!! veryone decided they wanted to go hiking that day too!! While waiting for the rest of the family to show up, me and my brother chris went on a lil hike together. It consisted of walking 1/2 a mile to the campgrounds and back. (he just had knee surgery so he cant really do that much lol) but oh man, for those of you who know chris, he made the "hike" interesting. lol he explained everything we saw... "Chris, is that a bird feeder?" "Nope, Em its a telescoping monkey tree!"..."Now, coming up on the right is the rare and venemous desert brown bench!"..."Oh the Majestic superstitions....(brief pause)...SIGH!"....."That bench was made by the Greeks in 1802 for the Neanderthals so they could sit and watch the dinosaurs play with the stalactites".."Chris what the heck are you talking about?!" "Em im explaining the ways of the universe to you! Werent you listening?!!"...hahaha thats just some of the things that were said on my hike with chris lol :p once me and chris made it back, the rest of the family had shown up. So we ate a yummy lunch!! and then headed out for a hike(: Heres a group pic at the base of the mountain! And thats not even everyone who was there!! lol Oh man, i just love my huge family!!

After hiking, we went back to the ramada and had cake and opened presents. Then we all just hung out and talked for a few hours(: Got home at about 3:30ish Then that night went out to the movies! Saw Shutter Island...yeah not what i thought i was going to be lol you definitely have to pay close attention to everything, especially the last line in the movie.. Its kinda like the movie Fracture(:

Sunday: CHURCH DAY!!(: haha went an helped with 5th and 6th grade as usual during the 9 o' clock service. We had the guest speaker there. Emily Copeland-Durham..(i think thats how you spell it) shes a pro wakeborder!!(: go to thisizmystory.com to learn more about her!! Shes awesome!!(: After that service, went and hung in the upstairs cafe with Travis and Terry(: lol that was fun :p Then it started pouring outside!! Ran with travis to the other building for highschool service. Luckily we ran soooooo fast that the rain didnt even touch us ;p ahahah During HS service, Emily spoke again and so did her husban. Man, he was soooooo funny! "The first time i held her she pooped on my hand! Man if you guys did that, no, no ma we would be over!! But no, i just looked at her and wipped it off because i love her." ahaha he was talking about his lil baby girl. You just had to be there :p hmmm ohhh after church, went to katelyns house and then to lunch with her awesome family!!(: Oh man, that was interesting...lol her parents were sooooo funny!! "Up close and personal!" "MOM!" "well she kissed him!" ahaha :p just a lil snippet of one of our conversation..once again, you had to be there..then came home and did homework while watching the Oscars.

Today: woke up and went to lame school! Bleh! Im sooooooooooooooooooo ready to graduate!! 1st hour: boring

2nd hour: awesome!! Helped my group finish up the group challenge thingy, we did pretty good lol then after that had weekend talk! My favorite part of monday!! :p Heres a small tid bit from todays talk.....

"James what are you doing?"-Flaherty askes politely

"I dont know!"-James while shrugging his shoulders

"He keeps staring at me weird."-Spencer explains

"Wow Spencer, thats the only face he has. Youre terrible."-Flaherty says while chuckling

highlight of my day(: Then walking in the hall to 4th hour, some kid came up from behind and put his hands through my hoodie pocket. Scared the freakin crap outta me till i realized it was just brett lol my heart was racing! :p creeper status!! ahaha jk Then after school, came home expecting to eat the left overs i brough home from lunch yesterday and guess what?! They were gone!! Even after katelyn wrot on the box saying, "EMILIES DONT EAT! THAT MEANS YOU, CHRIS RANDY AND DAD! I LICKED EVERYTHING IN THIS BOX! EAT IT YOU DIE!!" haha gotta love Kate lol so, chris, randy and dad all said they didnt eat it, same with josh. that only leaves my mom!! Oh man!! How could she?!!
