Here we go again!

So, last Wednesday was my Senior registration...wow, it's just so weird! It really does feel like two days ago i was going into high school. I'm actually really excited about my senior year of high school. I don't know why, it's kind of hard to explain. I just know a lot of exciting things are going to happen at school, church, and just in my life in general. I also just know that God has something really big in store, which he always does, but I feel like there's going to be something extra special.

Then Saturday was my Senior pictures!! Ah! It was crazy putting on that cap and gown...I'm pretty sure my mom almost cried. :) But yeah, I only did the portrait picture and the cap and gown picture...I'm gonna do the other stuff later and hopefully have a friend take some of me. I think that would be fun and make it even more personal. So this is the last week of summer before I am a Senior!! I can't wait. :) I'm going to be a yearbook editor which is pretty exciting! I have a crazy road ahead full of fun senioir activities, cramming in time with friends before we go off to college, and just preparing for college and making big decisions....it's great. haha ;)

Catching up

So since I'm starting this blogging thing at the end of the summer I haven't been able to talk about all that's happened this summer. That's gonna be hard to do since I've done a lot. So I'll do my best by covering the big stuff. ;)

This was at youth camp! We were at the zip line where me and Michele watched Jennifer and Rebekah go down it :) haha...we're chicken

Below is a picure of my family group at camp!! GOOOO TEAM Wii!!!!!! "Wii are #1...#1 is Wii! Wii are #1....#1 is Wii!!!!" haha!

This year was the first year for me to lead a family group at youth camp. I co-student lead with Jennifer and our adult leader was Kay Meredith...which I have to admit I was a little intimidated about at first, but she was awesome! This group was awesome! I think we just had a really good mixture of kids and I was blessed to see how God was working in their lives. This year's theme was "Everything" which is a pretty broad theme, but it was so powerful. We talked a lot about how God is Sovereign over everything and is completely in control and because of that we don't have to worry about anything. Powerful week!

Last day of camp! :'( Wearing our camp shirts and looking sooo tired. (Maybe because we stayed up all night..hehe) I had trouble taking pictures by the end of the week.

Just some summer fun at Kristen's 17th birthday party!

Our whole youth group standing, while tubing, stopped halfway down the river to make sure everyone was still together...and before we all got to this point it started poring down rain and still is in this picture. It was fun :)

After we made our choir tour trip down to Lytle, Texas....awesome trip!!...Home concert!! :D

At a Rangers vs. Yankees baseball game...fun stuff!! :D And also when two out of the three buses had some trouble when our entire lane on the highway suddenly put on their brakes and one bus hit a guys trailer and another guy hit one of the church buses....but nothing was serious thank goodness!

JOSHHHH HAMILTON! :D <3

cool panning shot :)

Well, that's all I'm gonna do for catching up with my life....hopefully I'll be consistent with updating with things going on in my life :)

Oh the '90s

So recently I was on Youtube and I saw something that reminded me of '90s boy bands....so I started looking at many amusing music videos from groups like Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Then I found the music video to MMMbop by Hanson! I had forgotten how much I loved that song...very addicting! So later that weekend me and my friends were looking at a bunch of other '90s music videos full of boys bobbing their shoulders up and down. Throughout all of this we found some more recent stuff of Hanson...and boy are they goood! I had kind of forgotten about them and didn't really expect much from them. but no. they are awesome!!!!! :DI have re-discovered Hanson and have a new love for them.




This is a video of the famous hanson song called MMMbop!!! :D







It's kind of funny that this song was and still is so popular....but it's so addicting and very catchy...so I guess that's why. This is them singing the song 10 years later on their 10th anniversary album Middle of Nowhere Acoustic.....still awesome! :D






So Michele and I have had several conversations about them in the past few days....I've added pretty much all of their songs as my favorites on youtube....I'm not obsessed. :) You should definately go check out their recent stuff....it's super good! It's kind of funny that now many years later I love music and fads from the '90s just as much or even more now than i did then....ha. well, that could be because i was little for most of the '90s....but still. I remeber (especially in 2nd and 3rd grade) all of my friends being obsessed with all the boy bands and such. It makes me lagh out loud. ha.

Yay For Blogging!

So I have FINALLY made a blog! I've been meaning to for awhile now but I've just been too lazy/forgetful to.

So right now I'm just trying to figure everything out and make it look somewhat inviting. I'll probably be begging for help(michele) several times. I'm excited though because with facebook and such you don't get to really do any blogging which is what I always loved about Xanga...which is practically a gohst town now. Well...I'm going to leave it at that for now. Leave me lots of comments and suggestions. I'll probably put something up later...even today.
