Official:

It's official everyone; I'm finally seriously raising money for my trip this summer (:

"What trip?" you ask???

Well I'm attempting to raise money to go on a 19 day trip with a Student Ambassador Program that I've been invited to...we're traveling all around Europe!!! I can NOT wait!

Even though it's really pricey...I hope I can raise enough to go.....$7500!! AHH!!! Please pray!! love you all!

Finally 15!

Yesterday, at 4:17 pm, I turned 15!!!! It was one of my best birthdays EVER!

I came to school and my locker was decorated with wrapping paper and balloons. FUN!
I got birthday hugs and songs all throughout the day :)
At lunch my friends found it funny to get a couple guys to make me stand up and have the WHOLE cafeteria sing happy birthday to me....urg
Went to Chili's and got sung to then....
Went to SWITCH and got presents from Mack and Sheri :) looove them!!!
Got sung to by about 15 people on the 3rd floor on the mic...haha :)
Went to worship and got pulled up on stage in front of mid high and Sr. high and got sung to then too!
BDE!
Thanks everyone that wished me a happy birthday!!! You made it even more amazing!!!

What do YOU think?

So I haven't really been keeping up with my blog like I should....whoops :) Well here we go:

QUESTION!

What do you think about suicide? Is it a sin? Do you go to heaven?
Thoughts!!!

In loving memory

This past Tuesday my aunt passed away. She was 53 years old. She died of cancer.
I've learned that cancer is a nasty, nasty thing, that takes away the people you love way before it should have been their time.
I pray that she is in heaven, chillin' with God. I suppose that would be pretty cool :)

I just ask that you pray for our family, it's been a rough week.

thanks everyone :)

Any Ideas?

I had to write a patriotic poem for English today, and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions to make it better. It has to have a rhyme pattern of ABAAB, CDCCD; and 10 lines. Here it is:

Looking at a clear, crisp sky
and rows and rows of endless wheat
one can only wonder why
he had to leave; to fight, to die.
Why did he go, with no retreat.

In my heart I know it's true;
hoping he was not in vain
My soldier fired and he knew,
There was nothing more that he could do.
For aiding in our freedom's gain.

Thanks for readin' y'all!!

Swing, Hit, Drive, Chip, Putt....

I SHOT A 38!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a 76 on 18 :)

Lost at Lunch...

The other day at school I went to lunch, set my backpack on a table (to save it), and went to my locker to get my lunch. I came back downstairs into the commons and went to heat up my lunch.
Everyone started piling into the cafeteria at that time, so Mack, Sheridan, Haley, Hayley, Hannah, Elizabeth, Alyssa and I all went and sat down (at the table I had reserved). This was about 5 minutes total, if that much, and half of the time there was hardly anyone in the cafeteria.

So we ate lunch, and I went to my 5Th hour, English, when I noticed something. My pencil bag was gone. Now I know what you're thinking: It's just pencils and pens, right? Wrong. I would have been fine with it if that's all that it contained.....Unfortunately for me it had my TI 84+ Silver Edition, $130 calculator in it too.

I looked EVERYWHERE. I checked with all of my teachers that day, just to make sure it hadn't gotten lost before then, and none of them had seen anything. I checked the lost and found in the Freshman Academy and in the Main Building, and it wasn't there. But I already knew what happened to it.
Someone stole it.
It's a real sick feeling when that happens, I don't know if you've ever gone through that or not. Why would someone do that anyway? My calculator was in my pencil bag, in my backpack. It's just gross.

So I went home, told my mom, and we came to the conclusion that I had to buy me a new one, and that I wouldn't be able to go on the Jacob's Ladder trip this weekend. I wasn't very happy, obviously. My mom was calling a bunch of people so that they could pray about it.
It turns out that one of the families she talked to had some interesting news for us. Her husband, Richard, a couple of days earlier had gotten a box of school supplies from his work. And inside the box were two, brand new, TI 83 calculators. So guess who's getting a free calculator??
I LOVE YOU RICHARD!!!!!!! :D
What's ironic is that I had prayed about it about 15 minutes before they called. I don't know about you, but that's "speed prayer" right there.

Today I got called to the office and had to talk with a police officer and then we went to his office and looked at security cameras to see if we could see anything. Unfortunately they didn't have a good angle of our table, and you can't tell who's there or not.

Have you ever had anything stolen from you? Thoughts?
