Please Pray!!

      Hey!! So this Saturday we leave to take my sister to college. She's going to a Christian University 100 miles away. I'm really excited for her, and I'm glad she's found a college she likes so much, but I'm so sad. This is the girl that's been my best friend for the last fifteen years. Basically her leaving means that our childhood together is over. The next few years will be so strange, especially since we were homeschooled. We are both going to have to find the new normal. So please pray for both of us! Pray that my sister will have a good time in college, and learn a lot, and also pray that my family and I would be able to cope with not having her here during the school year. Please pray that throughout all of this, we will all grow closer to God, and that we would all remember that God knows best, and He does everything for a reason. Thank you!

Love,

Figure skating- It's not just a sport.

Here are two videos I found on YouTube that I really like. They show that figure skating is not a fluffy sport, and no matter what level you are, it's HARD. Hope you like them!

15 Followers and a trip to the beach!!

Hey everybody!!
I have fifteen followers!!! Thanks so much everybody!! This really means a ton to me. I've only been blogging since March, so this is huge! I want you guys to know, that I consider you my friends. You all are my blogger family! <3
This past saturday, I went to my friends camp on the lake! It was so much fun to go and spend time with my friends, swimming in seaweed infested waters, (smells terrible, but isn't so bad) tanning on the dock, and just having fun! I did, by the way, tan some. I now have my usual summer freckles on my upper arms.

Seriously, there were so many of us on the dock, my mom said it was a miracle the thing didn't collapse!! :D

This is me and Liz, www.myfashionfirefly.blogspot.com, chillin' in a submerged lawn chair. Yeah, that's a worried look on my face. My friend was taking this picture with my iPod, while standing in the water, and considering the fact that my iPod is very new, I was freakin' out!

This is the gorgous view from their camp during sunset. Yeah, I did edit it a little, but the unedited pic is just as glorious!! (I was just playing with my new app. :) 

here my friends and I are canoing in the evening. It was so beautiful. It was also the first time I was in a canoe! That's me in the very middle, lazily enjoying the ride. :) Naomi is chillin' in back of me LOL! :D

All in all, it was a very magical day, and everybody fully enjoyed themselves.

Thanks again my lovely followers!!!

Electronics Galore!!

    I know this is a short post, but I had to paint you a picture of what our living room looks like right now! Every person in the house at the moment is completely involved in at least one electronic. My Dad is on his Facebook, while on the phone with his brother. Mom is working on her laptop. Nana is playing Words with Friends. My sister is texting on her ipod, and I have two things going. I am on my computer, blogging, and talking to Jeffery. (The tech support guy on Apple.com who is not speaking english. I think he is speaking geekish, because even though I told him I was only fifteen, he's still speaking in words I CANNOT understand.) I am also on my ipod touch, charging it up, and playing Tap Tap Revenge.
    Just thought that was funny! Enjoy your day!

Love,

Shopping

    On Friday, Mom my sister and I went to the mall. Pretty much we spent the whole time at Sears, cause mom had credit there. I saw these AWESOME shoes there! As you can see, they're too big (which isn't very hard for me being a size 4) and they were seriously expensive. But I love the flowers painted on the... what is that called? The cork I guess. I am hoping to buy a pair of wedges this summer. One of those I-really-don't-need-it-but-it-would-be-fun-to-get-and-I-would-wear-them-a-lot purchases!! I'd probably get white, navy blue, or dark brown so they would go with a lot of outfits. What color do you think I should get? I'll probably make a poll once I can actually afford them so you guys can vote! But first I kinda need to save up some babysitting money...

 

This is me in the car on the way there. I look excited, right? :D

By the way, I have a poll up on my blog just so you know. It's kind of hard to see, but it's on the left side, not the right. Please vote! Thanks!

Love,
