so today was the last day of dance practice!!! i still have to go to dance camp for four days, but oh well, no biggie! after this week, im thinking camp wont be too hard. oh well...im really excited about our dance! i think its good! (at least, i hope its good) lol so pray for us tomorrow night that we do well!!!

oh yeah, and our coach/choreographer is pregnant (she is due next wednesday) but anyways, she told us the name of her little booy today...and she is naming him Ryvin !!! ok so, most of you are thinking "what a weird name!!" but its totaly her personality and i think its cute! {oh yeah and its pronounced like river w/ an 'n'!!!}

have a great week!
love rebekah

tonight i went to uncle dave macon days with my mom. and it was really fun, i bought myself 3 pairs of earrings and mom bought me a purse,

i also found this amazing woman who makes amazing jewelry and she is going to make my jewelry for prom! though, thats now why i love her so...i loved her so much because she loves the Lord and you can so tell by her presence. we were talking w/ her about kids and school and she said that she homeschooled her oldest daughter because God wanted her to. God wants her to homeschool her children until she has taught them the foundation of Jesus Christ and what he stands for and what they stand for. to have them grounded in science and theology so that when they go to school they can have an opinion and not be influenced by the world. she says that she will be willing to homeschool until God releases her of it. she was amazing. thats why i love her...

i also met an amazing man...he was amazing because he loves hsi wife. she actually died 4 weeks ago and he has to keep busy in order to maintain his sanity. he was so sad, you see, he loved his wife so much and she was taken from him so suddenly...mom and i felt bad about talking to him about it, but we could tell he needed to tell someone about her, so we let him tell us. at one point, he started crying, he loved his wife so much and he was st a crafts fair selling whatever, just so that he wouldnt go crazy thinking about her. he said her met her on a friday, proposed on a saturday, she accepted on sunday and they were married! i told him he was crazy, he told me he was in love. so he was amazing to me as well....

yay! sarah changed my profile picture! i love her!
she also added more pictures...she rocks

"Why do you care so much?" he asked
she replied, i was to know
where i belong
what froup shall i enter?
who will accept me?
"no," he says, "you are you
you are no one else
be you. you need no one to tell you who you are
he doesnt understand.
to find oneself, you must embark on a treacherous journey
a journey she fears to take...


stella smith was probably the best english teacher i have ever had. she was encouraging and she was like a friend, someone i could tell anything too. she reminds me of elizabeth. i wont ever have elizabeth buts thats how i envision her as a teacher...anyway...she is not stella smith but has gone back to stella wood and she will not be teaching anymore, she is back in jackson, mississippi doing who knows what...sad that someone who was so gifted was unhappy doing what she was amazing at...

i wil be seeing dave matthews in concert in 15 days...i am quite excited about this little adventure...

big nose bully

**edit** in sarah's defense i will explain this harmless post. when we were little, she told me i had a dinosaur nose, cause she was weird and the had a thing for noses...but anyway..it used to bother me. now, i just enjoy giving her a hard time cause it makes her mad (hence the comment)

have a fantabulous fourth!

life is good and bad....

good...my ipod works

bad...evan is gone for like a week and a half...im really not one to write about him or to be super duper sad that he's gone but for some reason, i am. tonight, i bought a couple movies, hopefully, i will cryy. i need a good cry. lol

how are you?

so, my iPod came today....BUT all of my 628 songs are stuck on my computer!!!! my iPod wont connect to my computer...it connects to my brothers but not mine! go figure! so, right now all i have to listen to is lynard skynard and one cd i put on tyler's computer!! ugh! but i would like to thank bethany for helping me!!!

_bekah

B arely even feeling
E very detail of her life
A lways guarded
U nder a watchful eye
T old what to believe
I f only be her peers
F ooled by herself into bekieving what is false
U ntold by no one, yet, reassured by all
L onely and Lovely is how she lives

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE 4 year-olds. they are HILARIOUS!!! you think im joking or being sarcatic, but im not at all! they are the perfect age where i can talk to them and they can understand me and they can talk back and carry on a conversation.

so, brooks is the muse for my title cause i love her and she is snobby! (i think thats why i love her so much)

yesterday she expressed how she only wears shirts that show her belly {and that alone maske me laugh...she thinks all "big girls" wear shirts that show their belly hah! uhh, i dont} today i was like "brooks? did you kiss a boy yesterday??!!!" and apparently, she kissed a boy under the pew. everyone thought she was telling him a secret but NOPE! SHE KISSED HIM! i was like , brooks, sweety, i love you, but you CANNOT kiss boys! you are too young to be kissing dirrty little boys! she laughed but i love her...lol

ok bye

the other day me and my friend Jen were in the back [at work] and we were talking about our favorite word...and we decided that "beautiful" is our absolute favorite word. i mean really, what girl doesnt love to be told they are beautiful?

i love words. they can be so encouraging and at times very sad. and its amazing that a persons words are taken, not only by what they say but by the way [tone] they say it.

im rambling. sorry!

_bekah

hmm...not really sure what to right....

evan and i watched "closer" (interesting...) and then he met my familty...luckily, he fit in well...then we went to the playground at R-R...fun times.

nothing huge going on right now, nothing super duper special....but, my friend shashank DOES get back from college in a few days! yay! he's cool (only friends, of course)

_bekah

i am so disappointed in people...and i know that if i get this disappointed in people i barely know then, I AM is broken-hearted (figuratively speaking) by their actions, because He loves us with all of his heart and He never wants us to encounter sin.

We are all made in HIs image and when we sin we are breaking away from God's perfect image that he has created for us!!! wow! he loves us! he created us just like him!!!

Like many people who went to BigSTUF.... i am reading God's blogs by lanny donoho...its like God's way of being technilogical and writting on a cool little blog (much like this one here). i love it, it's a great book that is easy to read and lanny makes some great points!

"prone to wander, Lord to feel it. prone to leave the God i love"

(i my God's blogs, everytime god refers to himself he says I AM, cause that's his name. he's not really anything specific, he just is...kinda a big concept huh?)

..."if you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plans...."

i already miss my friends from school...especially the seniors who i will never get to see...like the one i danced with at prom, the same one who has a very nice voice...sadness

so im goingthrough my desk drawer where i put all my crap after i cleaned out my wallet and this is what i found

and opryland hotel card/key (i didnt even stay there, tyler did)

a servicio real card/key (didnt stay there either, its from seth's hotel in cancun)

and excel card (????)

my metro card

a ramada card/ key (dont know where its from)

a welcome to south carolina hampton inn card/key

a blak bear jamboree card/key from some hotel in gatlinburg

a dixie stampede card/key (another hotel in the mtns...if you have the chance, go to the dixie stampede...its fun)

hotel hawaii card/key

2 old insurance cards!!!! what fun!!!

**if you dont like to brush your teeth...get the new colgate 360!!!! it rocks...i love to brush my teeth...it feels cool**

(not the i didnt brush my teeth before but ive already brushed them twice today!!!!)

so, the dance recital is OVER!!! it was sooo much fun, even though i hate them and stuff, it is fun to get to hang w/ danelle and summer and courtenay (who's kickin it in da' "wood")

5 more days until we leave for big stuf....kinda a little nervous about the whole thing cause sarah's not going and well, i dont really have any friends that are going. there is evan, but we arent really gonna hang out that much...actually, we are both kind of dreading having to see each other for 5 days in a row!!! gah! i think im going to get sick of him....

well, i love you all! bye bye bye (n'sync anyone???)
