You have a mystery smile. Not alot of people can guess what you are thinking when you smile. Sometimes you smile with others and others you just smile for no reason whatsoever. Only people close to you understand that,others are confused by it.

so i havn't updated in a while......

nithing much going on................................
so yea.......

mine jus came in the mail.

i am in love with the rain..

temporary power outage

k yall here goes...

What is love?...
they pick you up when you are down

they make you laugh

instead of frown

your legs get weak

like a new born calf's

and when things are bleak

they are your light,

they are your light

so hold on tight.

k well....there goes, i tried.

Your soul was born in the Shadows.
Your soul was born in the shadows of the moon at night. You're all mystery and enigma and your element is the Moon. No one really knows who you are, but they might think they know you. You only tell people fragments of who you are and never show your true personality. That doesn't have to mean that youre being someone you're not though. You're always yourself and you never do something just because someone else does. Some might think you're a little cold or dull, but you're just hiding your true self for some reason. Maybe only a couple of selected people have ever seen the true you. You are loyal to these people and it will take time if anyone else wants to gain your trust. You let people think that they know you and that you trust them. But sooner or later they will realize that they never really knew you. Be careful. Someday you might need someone who knows what you need. Trust people.
You prefer silence and tranquillity. You're calm and collected and a nice person most of the time.

THIS STORM IS GOING ON AND ON AND ON JUST LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY

GEEZ WILL THIS STORM EVER END?!

It's hailing golf balls outside as I write this sentence!!!!!!

i'm not a fan of this weather deal.

atelast i came home to chattanooga.

hope you guys in the boro are ok and stay safe-

yep. worrywart jenny.

<3

we'll probably push mccalister's back, if at all. your judgement, be safe.

*yay*  we got out of school early b/c of the storms... *sigh*  I love the smell of the rain & watching the lightning spider-web through the darkened skies...

So. . .while I was at work, Taevan's wife had just driven up and said that she had outrun the hail, so Otis told me to bring my car in the shop. I did so, he pulled his truck in, and Jeff pulled his car in. About ten seconds later, no joke, the hail came flying; it sounded like hundreds of baseball bats hitting the roof of the shop. A door flew up, and we all ran around latching all eight doors down, and in the process, I apparently sliced my finger and part of my hand because I noticed blood stains on my hand, mixed in with dirt, yay. Then Taevan told me I had a window to get home if I wanted to, so I took it, doing about 70 on the way home in order not to get caught up in the storm was was following me. So. . . now that I here, I'm not getting back out.

Spanish placement test is next week. This week alone, I've studied at least seven hours. Woo, go me.

wow, we just had hail.  like marble sized about 20 minutes ago.  i just hope all my friends and family are safe.  theres still some thunder and lightning, but its not raining, and theres no hail.  i hope all the rest of you are ok. 

I know many of you had heard that my grandmother fell down and broke her hip.  At first, they thought they were going to have to do surgery, which is a very bad thing, since my grandmother is in very bad health, and the outlook was grim.

Since then, however, they've seen the surgeon that is supposedly "The Best" who has told them that surgery is not necessary at this point.  While she will eventually need a hip replacement, it would be best to wait until the bones have healed since the broken bones are the ones that will be replaced.

The last I heard, the plan was to move Grandmommy to a nursing home today for rehabilitation.  Hopefully, all went well with that.  I will let you all know more when I do.

go hide in your cellar cause you might get sucked up by the crazy tornados that are coming... and tht let us out of school early

run away run away!!!!!!

an attempt to log into my old phusebox was quickly thwarted. technology usually doesn't work in my favor anyway.. so... went n got a new one.

alas.

so we're back in the real world now. one where people are going to suuround us with their spring break stories.. are you ready? am i ready? this week has benn very interesting for me.. i left my school with not giving much attention to how worldly everyone is.. i was letting things slide and lowering my standards of how to live because i had gotten so used to it. i was in a state of shock when i came back.. people tellling me stories and me getting sick to my stomach. i had been in a place surrounded by Christ and forgot how bad the world really was. i encourage you, brothers and sisters in Christ, to not lose your focus. to let your school, as alex lewis said, be your mexico. let every class be a new village and share Jesus with those who "are running around frantically trying to find Him." when you see someone slipping, remind them of mexico and be there when they need you the most. i encourage you to have a strong spirit and not let the things of the world bring you down.. be around those things is inevitable, but remember that we are "not of this world". i love you all.. have a delightful weekend!

my life can now return to semi-normal!!! i've been in a black whole for the past couple of weeks it seems! between learning blocking for opera (but never getting to run through it), SAI initiation, singing in a wedding, and trying to keep my voice healthy, i have been going bonkers! but it is now all over! (well, most of it anyway) i know have to catch up on all my voice lesson stuff that i rejected these past couple of weeks and SAI province day tomorrow. (oh yeah, and did i mention KD wing fling and SAI province day are the same day? yeah...) but sadly enough, i have no money so i can't really go out and do anything  donations are gladly accepted tho!!  

so onto the opera! it went fantastically!!! i have pictures, but i can't post them right now cuz i'm at work...they're of the last dress rehearsal (which i wasn't in) and then pictures of me and some of the cast from last night. it was a blast and a real experience to be the lead in a 2 and 1/2 hr opera!! i was the center of attention!  anyways, just thought i'd update on my life since it's been awhile. so call me now people!!

Mysti is on her way up for the weekend. Just to let you know how happy I am...

wow..for once school got out early but didnt like it that much

thunder storm......i love rain but when you leave from school ealry it's kinda scary......in way

so yeah

    later

woooooooooooooooooo out of school early. yeah. of course i missed one of my fave classes but thats okay. i can't wait to see the storms.

I've had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
Somehow believing that they have what I need

 My God's enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I've seen
My God's enough, enough for me

I can't explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better than I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything

My God's enough for me

This world has nothing I need

In this whole life i've seen

My God's enough, enough for me

Who have I in heaven but You
Nothing I desire but You
My heart may fail but not You
You are mine forever!!!!!!

AH don't you love Barlow Girl!!!

This song comes from Psalm 73. It is really amazing! I encourage you all to read it!

Why, oh why can't I forget?

Like ripping a Band-Aid off before the scab has formed...

ok, so storms are so storms must be pretty bad if they let us out of school early.  right?

so stay safe everyone!

"you can't lose a battle you didn't fight."

"yes, but you can't win either."

I was jealous.  You know, back in the day, I had a Pitas site.  It was good and happy.  But all my friends has LJ, so I moved on.  Unfortunately, LJ won't let you post photos unless you pay them money.  Capitalist pigs.  No me gusta.  So now I have a new toy.

Those of you who know me must surely realize that the only funny stories I have are about baby poop, so I don't promise any exciting reads, but have at it.  As the baby does poop daily, I almost always have something to write about.

For those of you who have not heard, Daniel has two teeth now.  Two!  Count 'em!  And boy, are those suckers sharp!  He can also sit unsupported and get himself into a sitting position from his stomach.  How cute is that?  (And by cute, I mean.. sweet heavens, he's getting old so fast, where did the time go?)  And, get this.. he said "Dada!"  Now, obviously, he loves his father more than he loves me, my heart is broken, I feel unloved, etc.  But still, it's so cute!  He doesn't know who he's calling dada (he keeps saying it to his feet, his diaper, his Exersaucer..) but in time, it will be used discriminately.  I'm so proud.

Oh!  And he can feed himself!  It's the darnedest thing.. You can hand him a sippy cup, and he'll happily eat away.  He's says that he's an independent man of the 2000's, but I think he's overestimating his own abilities at this point.

I give up.
I just want to be content.

~Why Does Life Put You Down When You Are At A Place That You Feel Like Nothing Could Ever Go Wrong? Why Does It Hurt The Most When Your Loved One Leaves You When You Opened Up Your Heart To Her? No Matter How Many Tears You Shed, No Matter How Much Love You Give, Love Never Seems To Stay The Same Or Be As Understanding As You See It~

these past few days seem so meaningless... i don't kno what to expect out of them... and i kinda sorta don't care... Ms. SHS pageant rehearsal tonite. lord no i'm not in the pageant. i'm just singin at it.

my mom and i (and hopefully Rae) are supposed to go prom dress shopping tomorrow... yeah, i'm still not sure... that dress is just SOOOOO BIG! >.<

if you think i should get this dress for prom, remark and tell why.... (it is too big so if i get it, i'm getting it altered [taken in and hemmed])

"When time passes by
What will be left for me?
My heart going on wishing for a miracle?
Or just

A scar?"
-Ayu (HOPE or PAIN)

Guess what? We found a puppy! We were looking for a baby purebred female, and we found one. She was the last female in the litter and the price was just reduced by over $100. I'm so excited. I'm still sad about Buddy dying though. He was the best. I'm sure this new puppy will be lots of fun. My mom and I are going to pick her up tomorrow. Can't wait!

So, I have some news.  I have a new boy.  It's official.  And his name is...drumroll please...Trent Ashcraft.  To some of you, this will come as tremendous news, and to others, this will cause you to utter "FINALLY!!!"

Let me explain the situation...I determined at the beginning of the semester that I was not going to date anyone.  I really wanted to focus on God and He placed on my heart that the relationship I was in, was not the most healthy.  But being the awesome God that He is, God placed Trent in my life at a time when I didn't want him.  And for a long time, I didn't realize this great guy that God had given me.  Trent first was my friend, a guy that made me smile and laugh.  Then he became this complicated part of my life that I didn't want to give in to.  I didn't want to step back on what I had told everyone and people were keeping me accountable to...but I have.

However, this has been a relationship that has been evolving for over a month.  And Trent and I have talked about everything under the sun.  I can honestly say, I have never been more comfortable with any other guy.  It's amazing to me. 

Trent and I started hanging out in January and soon found a really good friendship there.  The more we hung out, rarely alone, we both (at different times) realized that we liked each other.

So then I had no idea what to do.  I don't want to start a relationship when I clearly think that God was trying to keep me out of one.  Through all of this, I let Trent know.  Being the understanding guy that he is, he was willing to wait for me to be ready to start a relationship with him.

That, to me, was crazy.  Never before had I met a guy so insane, that he would possibly wait MONTHS for me.  I had no idea what to do.  This is where prayer comes in.  I did not want to make a decision hastily and therefore I prayed and waited.  Trent was just patient, he didn't understand it completely, but he was patient.  And I couldn't have appreciated it more.

I had several reasons for holding back the relationship.  1.) I told everyone that I wasn't going to and didn't want to look like a hypocrite or cause any weird reactions.  2.) I felt like God was telling me I wasn't ready.  3.) I didn't want to get into a relationship right before Poland, where I wouldn't get to see him for months.  4.) I was scared.  Period.  I was very, very scared because I was afraid the relationship would turn out bad and I didn't want to mess up anything with Trent.

So here I am basically dating the boy, but without any real commitment.  I finally feal like I'm at a place where I don't have to be afraid.  Trent and I went for a walk tonight where I explained some of my fears to him and he just reassured me.  He reassured me that things wouldn't change just because of some silly title, and that it didn't matter because he was still going to be here.

So we walked and we talked some more, and I was just really at peace.  I felt like God gave me this great guy and I was finally ready to accept it.  God knew that I could and probably would have just easily jumped into the relationship and it would have easily crumbled.  But with this time that has elapsed, God has allowed a foundation for this relationship that consists of a friendship and understanding and patience.

I know now, that the commitment shouldn't have been not to date this semester, but to allow God to place a wonderful godly man into my life when I least expect it.  And I couldn't be more thankful. 

So tonight/this morning, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now I'm able to just be comfortable in the situation that God has placed me in and know that this is right where I'm supposed to be. 

i had to write an opera (well... part of one ) for my intro to music class. it was rather late at night and well... here is how it turned out...

“The Dove”

 

Opening Chorus

            Happy is she when she is in love

            Her heart – it flutters, it flies

            Her love is more beautiful that a winged dove

            A winged dove in the clear April skies

 

Recitative (to be sung by Jane)

            I see my love as he walks my way

            Let us walk together and be happy

            Talk with me

            Tell me of your love for me

            Tell me of my beauty

 

Aria (to be sung by John)

            My love for her passes all understanding

            But even I know she’s a bit too demanding

            Her beauty is beyond compare

            She’s perfect- right down to the shade of her hair

            But alas I must do what my heart is commanding

 

Recitative (to be sung by Jane)

You look troubled dearest one

            What is wrong?

 

            Do not say those words

            Do not make me cry

            Do not walk away

 

Aria (to be sung by Jane)

            He walked way from me

            All he said was that he had to leave

            I want a reason for all my tears

            I want an end to all my fears

            Because it only hurts when I breathe

 

Closing Chorus

Unhappy is she when she is no longer in love

            Her heart – it breaks, it cries

            When the love left, she killed that stupid dove

            Because the dove was his love and his love was all lies

 

** N.B.** This is not a song about me. While I am rather bitter, you don’t have to worry. I haven’t killed any doves…yet.

 

Kim's opera was RATHER amusing...if you asker nicely, maybe she'll post it. ---and yes the note at the bottom was included in the copy i turned into my teacher.

Ok, so not to wear out the Passion thing, but in case you don't keep up with the awards, Chris Tomlin won GMA's artist if the year.  He is by far my favorite worship leader and I was really glad that he won, not becasue awards are important, but because God is using him in a mighty way and it's cool that other people can see that and are moved by his music.  If you have never heard Chris Tomlin, you should go to itunes and check out "How Great is Our God"...it just so happens that it won song of the year.  It is an amazing song!  Love you guys!
:)
B

When all is over and all is won
I'll look back to see your face
And say I remember when all was lost
When we both sat in that horrid place
To say life just sucks
Lets just run away
Lets escape it all
and then there we'll stay
But no we fought on through the epic war
And made it through, and we're there no more
So lift with me this toast to life
And live with me, let's say we'll try

No, I can dream
If you can dream
And I can say
What you can say
And I can feel
What you can feel
But only life can prove
That love is real

It seems today is just day one
And I can see your smiling face
And still I remember when all was lost
But we left that horrid place
Where dreams are lost
And hope is gone
Where all is said
And then never done
But we opened up our eyes to finally see
There's someone there to go through with me
Someone there who's not afraid to fight
Someone to hold you close all through the night

No, I can dream
If you can dream
And I can say
What you can say
And I can feel
What you can feel
But only life can prove
That love is real

So...I did very well, I think, in tonights game. Yet most of my team did very bad. We lost. Worst than last time. I had one amazing interception, three pass blocks, and multipile catches. My battle scars include: a twisted ankle, from a trick play that I was attempting to do before the game (it would have been really cool), two bleeding knees from the stupid fake turf, and a twisted shoulder from a guy who slammed me into the wall and wrenched my arm around to take the ball out of my hands....what fun, though I will be paying dearly for it in the morning. One more game next week, then I am going to try flag football which should be more fun.

Went to Bonhoffers before the game. I left after about five minutes becasue there wasn't anyone to hang out with there and I didn't care for the band playing at the time.

Trilogy practices this week should be intereasting. I will be the only sound tech and I have three different wireless lapel changes that I have to make in the middle of the performance...I should be able to get it.

lookin forward to prom which is three weeks away. As well as the end of the semester.

yay! tomorro's friday!  its been a wierd week, glad its over.  one week closer to graduation.  22 days amigos.  i have divised a clever plan for tomorro.  but i cant tell you its very secret & who knows it might directly effect you *grins*.

Weekend is finally almost here.... AMEN!!! And yeh Summer is almost here, starting next Monday... only 6 more weeks ... AHHHH!!!! Scary , but exciting, bc thats just another day closer to come to see you Tennessee homies... haha.Welllll I am "pooped" ( slang of John Barron) haha... that goose...anyway ... I hope everyone has a better day than they did today , and live godly.

be blessed

Trace the shape of my heart, til it becomes more familiar to Your eyes. I've been down without You, wrong without Your love. It's taken days and nights to make me realize....So rescue me from hangin on this line, i won't give up on givin You the chance to blow my mind, but the eleventh hour quickly passed me by...and i'll find You when i think i'm out of time.

You made me. Who am i? that i should company with something so divine? mercy waits, overjoyed. the prospects of finding are freeing, freeing me. ...mirrors spin wicked tales. here lies reflections of deceptions.

so close my eyes and hold my heart. cover me and make me something. change this something normal, into something beautiful. and i'm still fighting for the words to break these chains, and i still pray when i look in Your eyes You stare right back down into something beautiful...

man...no one says exactly what's on my mind quite like Jars of Clay. gahlee. i don't even know what to think anymore. i really dislike being so in love when i don't know if the feeling's mutual. i dunno if love is even the right word for it. but it's the first time i've ever liked a guy worthy of liking. but i just don't think we'll ever date. w/e. i don't think i'm called to date in high school. but that's ok. i need to fall deeper in love with God before i fall in love with anyone else. so i guess He's just protecting me. cause He's awesome like that. so, tonight for choir, i went to go see MTSU's performance of The Dialogue of the Carmelites w. Carla Price starring as Sister Blanche. wow. it was the most depressing thing i've ever seen. but it was pretty good. even for opera. carla and this other girl had the most amazing voices ever. they made me want to do that when i get to college. wodie. anyways, i need to hit the sack. i love you guys! g'nite---Cari

i should learn not to forget to log out at school lol o well

i wanna have a simpsons marathon
haha that was random
but i love that show

i need you guys more than ever.. just being honest here... i really do!

meag

  Well,,, I really have not been keeping up with this thing....   Well basically my biggest problem is a problem... my POS  ... my Car...  well it runs for a little bit and has its BF moments... 

I was going to buy Brandon Albrittion's Car but his dad wants 250$ all at once... which i do not have... I have missed so many early day classes.... but I do not sign in because i will have detention... 

I really hope the POS will have a nice day  Friday and work... because i have to work...  maby i need to stop calling it Gettomobile.... or POS  ... i think it gets mad at me...

And while you're gone I'll sit and wait
And worry all the time
Though you may not be mine
I care for your soul
My friend, my love
My breath, my life
Just know that I care about you

I'll be honest right now. I need
some help. I've failed all but one English class since I was in middle
school. I need someone to teach me how to write a paper. If you think
you can help please contact me and you can teach me how to write over
the summer.

Gosh I love you Jenn! And I miss cuddling with you in
your huge bed and dancing to Disney songs with you
,and Indian poker, and making fun of bell, and
watching sex and the city, and talking to you, and
going to church with you (haha), and watching you act
mentally retarted, and playing darts, and playing lord
of the rings/starwars and coffee, and tubgirl, and
tequila.

how do you not just LOVE her???  Reading that made me the happiest i've been in a long ass time...

final score...

4-1 we won, yay us.  im just glad i didnt pass out from not running that much in forever. lol

 i saw some new shirts from hot toic and they rock.... they say...

 "if i were lying wouldnt my pants be on fire?"

"when the pepper spray runs out can i have your number?"

"my names fred, cuz ill make your bed rock"

"things to do

1) your mom

2)your sister"

 the screen is a woman leading a race w/ a man behind her and it says " be a winner come from behind"

i used to hate having feelings for ppl i either didnt see very often or didnt know but now im wishing thats how it was. it is so hard spending so much time during teh day at school and even outside of school sometimes with someone i have feelings for. its so hard to be around that person and not tell them the truth but i know if that perso knew the truth things wouldnt be the same and id rather be just friends than nothing at all..even if that means only being friends...

Life is kinda stressful right now, but good in some ways. For the cons, I have had a ton of stuff to do in school. Today I thought I was going to work myself to death with all of the junk I had to do. I am reading 2 books (financial peace and huck finn) and I have a ton of assignments to do on top of that. And i'm pretty sure I got called UGLY in spanish by Mr. Mann, who is in fact the biggest overgrown baby teacher you will ever meet. Lol seriously, he looks like an overgrown baby. And he called ME ugly and threatened to make me leave his class because I laughed at the girl next to me when she said something funny for like 2 seconds. lol, wow, that is ironic. For the pros, I finally got me a job which is a huge answered prayer for me. Me and Ben are gonna work at the church as custodians woohoo! But it's like REALLY good pay and I get to work with my best friend so it'll be a ton of fun. Also, diversion was really cool last night. I got to see some people I haven't seen in a while, which was cool. Hornbaker is coming into town next wednesday to give his crucifixion message, so I will definately be there for that (that is, if I can stay calm and not pass out like last time). But yeah, it'll be a good message. So I hope you guys continue to fight in Christ, especially because things tend to get heated up right after spring break, and especially when you have just been on a mission trip. I am praying for each one of you.

" The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them."-Psalm 25:14  

This morning at one club Matt spoke about hope and how sometimes as Christians we go through seasons. It really touched me in that I realized how true that is. Sometimes God will be silent for a while to see how faithful we will be to Him. As in the verse it says that God will make His covenant known to those that fear Him but have you ever wanted to know so bad what God wants you to do or have you ever wanted to do something solely for him to show your love and obediance and you don't feel that God is hearing you? I think I am going through a season right now but I am not going to let that shake me and I just hope that anyone else who has ever or is experiencing this will be encouraged to know that God always hears us and that we should NEVER stop listening for Him.

It's okay if you have no musical tastes becuase I'm always here to provide the better alternative--music improvement.  But on why your music probably sucks...

1.  You listen to it because it's in a certain genre.  This reason is irritating; even being a fan of metal, I am nevertheless shocked at the amount of metalheads who will listen to anything that labels itself as alternative or metal.  Remember: just because it looks good doesn't mean it is good.

2.  You listen to pop punk.  Back in the day, punk meant something, something like anarchy and rebellion.  Now it means hot topic and complaining about your life as a junior high kid.  The Clash is punk, NOT Green Day, Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, and certainly not Simple Plan.  Punk wasn't even that good of a genre to begin with, but the populace had to go and make it crappy.

3.  You listen to it because it's in TRL's Top Ten.  I think this is self-explanatory.

4.  You listen to it because it's indie.  I also think this is self-explanatory, but, then again, a lot of people are retarded.  Indie music, as touted by those bitches on Pitchfork.com or elsewhere, has problematic tendencies.  First, as seeming nonconformity to the auto-tuner pop "singers", indie music has the incorrigible fetish for lauding terrible vocalists.  Don't excuse it: you know they're trying but can't.  They're bad.  Second, if I wanted to hear music produced by eight-graders, I'd tell my little sister to make a band in a garage and save fourteen dollars on the compact disc members of the "elite" think is so amazing and innovative.

5.  You listen to it because it's a classic.  Listen, I know a greater portion of the world thinks the Beatles are good, but the world also thinks abortion is not murder.  (And we all know better than that, do we not?)  In all seriousness, though, older artists did make some very innovative original music, but a ton of it is very overrated as well.  In other words, you got to have balance.  Plus, production value has skyrocketed since the sixties, so chances are newer music on compact discs will usually sound better overall.

6.  You listen to modern country.  Bluegrass was beautiful type of music, but then came shit, and it covered all of Nashville.  Enough said...

7.  You listen to most Christian music.  When the lake's smaller, the chances of getting a better fish is equally smaller.  Same with music.  I've never been entirely sure where the majority of Christian music is going.  Lately, it's been creating (or "writing") as many three-chord, "next big thing" worship songs.  Come on, seriously, for God's sake, branch out a little!  I'm sure people can be a little more creative than they've been.  DC Talk had some good songs when they weren't covering someone else's (and same with Audio Adrenaline).

8.  You listen to "whatever's on the radio".  Enough said...

9.  You listen to bad pop.  There is good pop, if you look for it.  Michael Jackson's Thriller (not referring in any way to his deviant behavior) was a very good album.  Justin Timberlake's Justified is also a good album.  So good pop exists.  Ashlee Simpson doesn't count.  Lindsay Lohan/Hillary Duff doesn't count, and someone please kill the Click Five and Black Eyed Peas.

10.  You worship the band.  No one band is the all-encompassing peak of perfection, and chances are yours is not even close.  So stop the groupie fellatio.

11.  You listen to bands that capitalize on wartime.  Now, I'm not one to be too judgmental, but come on, you're not adding anything new to the "We don't like Bush" table by releasing a "controversial" album.  I don't care for Bush much either, but the trend past the point of simple vexation.

I may add some more later...

i'm in newyork.

miss me.

please. lol.

ugh, bored but about to leave.  my sociology teacher is driving me up the freakin' wall. she says we get extra credit for everything, but we don't!  jeez she can get annoying.  but other than that everything is going spiffy. i am tired so after i get home i am going to just black out and go to sleep.  *yawn*.   mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. will write more later.   hasta la byebye.

I've discovered that I've gotten so good at hiding my emotions, that to my amazement, because of simple song lyrics I've discovered something I didn't even know was hurting me.

"It's like her mind just quit
Oh, but bring up grandpa
It's like someone flipped a switch.......

Black and whites of days gone by....

We started losin' her when she lost him
But to hear her carry on
You'd swear she's seventeen again...

While the world is fading all around her
Sharin' a sundae at the counter
He's goin' on and on about her
Bet she's right there right now
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948"

If u don't know my grandparents love story..well it was amazing. And something I'm still trying to record for my own knowing. (If u wanna know about it ask when u've got LOTS of time). But I don't think my grandmother was ever the same after her and my grandfather divorced. Her dementia set in pretty bad the last 2 years, but mention my grandmother or he went to see her, and it was like the entire world just lit up and for a moment she was fine. Even when she got SO sick there at the end he still made her happy. Idk...I guess I just miss seeing her light up when he walked in a room. Basically...I just miss her.

And I still need the prayer.

So lets just say i haven't updated =]

So i like him. I really do like him. Like i have never liked anyone before. & i am totally freaking serious.

gorgeous? i think so.

    Well, the wedding went really well. I caught the bouqet, played the piano, cried, and was the unofficial flower girl. They're so cute. 
    We have this little poster thing in our school room and it has a picture of a sunset on it and it says:
                                     Two Foundation Facts
                                     of Human Enlightenment:
                                       1. There is a God.
                                       2. You are not Him.

I think it's funny. It makes me smile. I hope I get to spend the night at the Lewis's this weekend. I haven't in the past 2 weeks (I know, it's been such a long time! But I usually spend the night every week). They're so cool. Mrs. Jeana in all her motherlyness, Beka in all her cool sisterness, Mr. Randy in all his niceness, Chris in his brotherness, and Paul in his...um, weirdness. lol. Yeah, they're great. All you guys are great. I hope there's a cookout tomorrow night. I'll see ya'll later. goodbye

i'm just going to be real with everyone. i feel like crap. and no i'm not sick.

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets amess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah off course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

So it has been awhile since I have wrote. Well, I have been busy with my research paper for English. Plus, I have had a lot of things going on in my family. I had to move my uncle last week. And right now I am looking for a truck or a jeep. So if anyone has one they would like to sell, please let me know. I went tanning yesterday. My face is so red. I am really tired due to it now. But, I smell like coconut. That is a good thing. I left school early today. I had to go to the doctor. Oh big news!!! Tj asked me to marry him yesterday. Yeah I am so excited. He gave me a gorgeous ring and everything. So that is a good thing. I am starting to plan our wedding and everything. We are not getting married until TJ is 18 though. So that is like a year and a half away. So I have awhile until I need to buckle down and start planning. Well, I am going to go lay down now. Hannah

Turns out that for 2 days I had a fever and didn't know it.  That headache I still have is because of it.  Honestly, I really didn't want to miss school today.  At the doctor I had to get a blood count.  I am scared to deaath of needles!  So, that really sucked.  They also X-rayed my head which is different.  It all ended up just being a virus, so I should be back at school tomorrow.

im finally gonna get some pictures of my own on here! woot woot! lol. they will hopefully be on here by friday.

but yeah...have you ever been so confused about someone that you didnt know whether or not you should feel the way you do about them? ........

ahhhhh!

lol. sorry....

it seems as though a plot has arisen...

                 ...as a phoenix from the ashes

      [i love that phrase]

So It's my sweet 16th Birthday TODAY!

I am so so so excited.
I just wanna thank everyone out there for another *amazing* year.
God has blessed me with the coolest friends ever...
I also have a really supportive family.
Thank you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

I'm hanging out w/Sarah Beara this afternoon and then the famous family dinner...ahhhh. I can't wait.

Te Amo!

When I can't step forward at the big moment
You know? People often say
Regret after action is better than regret without action"

"...the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so
much. The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merge with a
crash and the way to life is opened - but the crash is on the heart of
God." (Oswald Chambers)

God has been doing a lot of renewing in my heart - I can't really explain it, but it's like a breath a fresh air.

Have you wondered where everyone would be if you didn't exsist what would the world be like did you do something to affect the world did you change it when you were born?would the world be different?would it be better? Would your family be better I dunno i always wanted to know what it would be like if i never existed that the world would be better in some way. I know theres a reason i am here but i don't know why and i am afraid that i will die before i fullfill that purpose.

" 2am and I'm tryin to write down this song......(?)

....if I can get it all down on paper.

It's no longer inside of me

threating the life it belongs to.

And I feel like I'm naked in front of a crowd

Cause these words are my diary screaming out loud.

And I know that you'll use them however you want to."

I love this song. I miss quoted it though, I can't remember exactly how it goes. I'll figure it out and then post all of it later.

okay so whats up with all the loud people? everythings quiet then someone comes bounding in and screams hi...lol i cringe at the fact, i mean can you not see that its silent!!not that im picking on anyone in particular *coughElizabethcough* :) i hope these next two days go by fast , well i hope this month goes by fast hehe

Who are you to tell me
that i'm less of than what I should be?
who are you? who are you?
I don't need to listen
to the list of things I should do
I won't try; I won't try.

Hi.  I'm Milly...

Okay, so no I'm not.  I'm Sarah Vermillion. Wassup, Milly's friends?

Mil, you need to learn that Mrs. Daniel's classroom is a dangerous place to leave yourself logged in to phusebox.  :p

Ok, so I didn't really want to go to the BCM leadership conference. I had some homework to do and I lost my wallet and I needed to get that taken care of. So it wasn't exactly the best time for me to be going to a conference... But when I got there, I ran into these crazy people and we had a great time. I got to meet some missionaries that are going to be working at my church this summer. I also got to talk to some of the old missionaries that are still working with us which I haven't had a chance to talk to in a long time.



 



Jessie interprited for most of the stuff that went on. Leighanna and Beryl helped out some.







This is a photo of me, sandwiched between Scott and a missionary that's going to Thailand named Brandon. I'm signing "help!"







I got to sign the Doxology in front of everybody. I tried to get Jessie to sign it with me, but she was really stressed out because of a April Fool's joke Leighanna played on her.




Leighanna told her that the guy that was speaking was sick, and that she had been chosen to fill in for him. Jessie spent all afternoon thinking about what she was going to say. It was funny.





In conclusion, this is how Jessie plays frisbee.

The new Passion Everything Glorious CD came out yesterday! I give it a TRIPLE BOOOYAAA! Highly suggest it for anyone looking for a good worship album.
