So funny

These pics are of one of the skits Jeremiah and I put on for ourselves. I put the pics on out of order so this last one is of our car, the 2nd is the view from the backseat and the 3rd is Miah changing the tire on our car. Actually, it wasn't our car it was some guys that we hitched a ride with...Oh Lordy it was real fun.

Ahhh I missed these peeps

Tennis and Scavenger hunt

A few of us went and played tennis last night. Yeah...we all need lots of practice! Did you know that rubbing dryer sheets on your skin works as a mosquito repellent? Well, one landed on me and I thought for sure it was going to bite me but later I realized I had not one bite! My mom must have not rubbed enough on or something because the mosquitos bit her all up. After tennis we went for what we thought was an innocent trip to Walmart. Someone(not mentioning names....Sis K) came up with the idea of a scavenger hunt. We divided into 2 teams and went throughout the whole store collecting everything from a size 8.5 men's white shoe to rainbow buttons. Of course my team won(Sis K,Cheryl,Mom, and Jeremiah and me). It was hilarious to see us fast walking throughout wally world.

Mmmhmmmm

SOM went pretty good tonight. I would say tonight has been the hardest practice yet. At least for me because my hands were not wanting to work with my brain. It was so weird. Also, Josiah is doing one of the solo's for our second song. He picked it up real fast and looked awesome doing it!
Ha! Before SOM Jeremiah and I were having so much fun .We were signing The Presence of the Lord and Love Song. I was amazed at how good Miah is! Seriously, I got little tearies in my eyes and I just wanted to scoop him up and hug him.
Aliyah's 8th birthday is today. Thinking about it made me miss them so much. Jasmin, Aliyah and Jade are what I want my girls to be like. Beautiful,sweet and just all around awesome kids. (Yes, I realize that last sentence was a fragment.) We met Robin when she was pregnant with Aliyah and Jasmin was 2yrs old. I remember when Aliyah first came home from the hospital. I was 14yrs old and as soon as I saw her my heart just squeezed and I fell in love. Ha! Her first bath was a memorable moment also. She was wrapped up like a little football and they just put her head under the faucet. She loved it. I remember when baby Jade was born too. Ahhh memories.
I was so wanting to tell Sis K about what happened during service Sunday night but then I got busy and when I did see her it wouldn't have been polite to steal her away. So, tomorrow it is. Probably not a lot of people would be excited about it but it is important to me SO there you go.

Exhaustion has set in

Okay... so maybe not TOTAL exhaustion. The past 2 nights I have gone to bed so late and gotten up quite early. I really felt it tonight though. I was a zombie at church.HA! Melodie told me I needed to have a long sleep so that I could have energy.It was cute. The next couple days are pretty lazy though. Tomorrow is class in the AM, and then I'm working on la tarea and then LIFT stuff.
So Jeremiah totally made me smile tonight. Not that I didn't have anything to smile about, but he just made it bigger and better. Ahhh the joys of being 8yrs old. The other night Melodie said something out of the blue that got me thinking. We were sitting around eating pizza and she blurted out that she was a beautiful princess. We all laughed and thought it was oh so adorable. Later of course my lame brain kept thinking about it. The innocence of a 4yr old is truely beautiful. I got to praying for little Melodie and her future that as she gets older and is in the midst of life she will always remember the 4yr old in her saying she is a beautiful princess.

Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Ha! Have you ever heard this song by Janis Joplin? It's great which is why I wanted to make it my title. It actually does not have anything to do with what I am going to say. Randomness rocks in my world.
I am back from CDF 14 a lot earlier than anticipated. Mine and Cheryl's teacher decided to let us out over an hour early. I thought that was pretty gracious of her considering we just got back from spring break. I kept almost nodding off during class. Cheryl had to tell me to wake up. I haven't been this tired since the end of Sr Camp over 5 years ago! The story behind sr camp is not very interesting but I'll tell it anyways. Kendrea and I were driving back from a pretty dull but exhausting week at camp and she was sound asleep while I was driving. I was so tired that I was falling asleep! I didn't even know that I was asleep until I felt my tires hitting the bumps in the middle of the road. I tried everything from pinching my eyelids to singing...nothing worked. Eventually I pulled over to sleep. See, I told you the story wasn't very interesting.
I think I'll sign off and call it an early night. Hasta Luego!

Why do I do this???!!

I am a HUGE procrasinator. I manage to get the work done but not without all night studying or writing. Tomorrow my 2500 word research paper is due and I am just starting to write it. I got the research part of it done a couple of weeks ago but failed to start on it like I should have. Tonight will more than likely be an all nighter followed by a long day of school tomorrow. Hopefully I can ward off the crabiness from lack of sleep by keeping in mind that it's OVER. No more big projects for the rest of this semester. It's pretty much coasting for the remaining 2 months or so. Ha! I took a 60min nap today knowing it was the only shut eye I would be getting for a while. It felt so good but when I woke up I knew it was time for me to roll my my sleeves and get to work. As you can see i'm taking a break from writing. My eyes are burning and a headache is forming behind my eyes.....already! Well....here goes.

So church tonight...

was so awesome! Something happened to me during service while they were praise singing that has never happened before....it was a real life changing thing for sure. I need to sort it out in my mind and may blog about it at some point.We'll see.
We went to Celestino's tonight. Fun fun!
Kevin and I got to talking tonight. We don't think a person likes us...the name will never be revealed and no one will ever know anything about it other than what I just said. People hate when I do that. Give a little bit of info but not the rest..sorry folks.(don't worry it's not you)

The adventures of house sitting

So today I went up to the Krantz' to take Boston on a walk. I was in the room making the bed when Kevin let out ummm a Kevin scream! There was a lizard in the kitchen/dining room area. Apparently it came in from the sliding door being open. Kevin eventually got it out after I threatened his life.Ha! just kidding.

Trisha's ultrasound

So today at 10:30 I got to see the baby...well it was still in utero but you get the point. The tech showed us the spine,tummy,heart and the big head. Oh and we got to see that it was a boy! We were right!! He weighs 4.72 lbs and her due date is May 6th. I am so excited. I think Jess and I are going to be in the room when he's born. Right now they have come up with the name, Aiden James Neuman. I think it's adorable, but we'll see if they change it when the time comes.
Jess and I took Boston for a walk today. It was beautiful weather once again. Those hills are pretty tough to walk up though..ha I'm out of shape.

I was listening to the song, "The more I seek You" today and tears formed in my eyes when I started to think of how His love is so overwelming.

Oro dam and pregnancies

So after dinner Kev, Jess and I went walking on Oro Dam. It was very beautiful and the weather was perfect. I did get bit by some blood sucking insects so next time I am spraying myself with repellent. We all vowed to get up early tomorrow and walk the dam again. It was a nice bonding experience. :)

I am heading to Chico tomorrow morning to Trisha's first ultrasound. I'm so so so excited! She wants a girl but we all think she's having a boy. She texted me tonight saying she felt it move. I'm not sure what to call the baby until I know if it's a boy or girl. So forgive me while I call the baby and it.

I just found out that....

A friend of 11 years if pregnant!!! I was just saying the other day that I wanted someone close to me to have a baby because I wanted to buy baby clothes. So there you go...ask and you shall receive.hahaa Just kidding. She is about 6 months and she just found out! Crazy right?! I'm super excited! We get to find out if it's a boy or girl tomorrow. Aghhh I'm probably not going to sleep tonight I'm so excited.

All kinds of stuff

Whew! I just posted some pics on LIFT of LC. It took me forever for some reason. Sometimes I can't get it right and have to redo it over and over.

Yay! Spring break starts tomorrow. No school for an entire week. How awesome is that?! I'm pretty excited although I'll be working on a research paper most of the week. At least I won't have to leave my house for that. I can lay in bed all day and work on it. :) :)

LC was great great great!! I cannot even say how much fun I had. Out of all the conferences I've ever been to I'd say LC tops them all.

Am I a lady? Sometimes I wonder if I am a proper one. Please don't really answer that! I'll continue to work on it. :)

Ahhhh breathe

Off I go to LC! Wish me luck :)

Do you ever

Want to be known for something completely different than you are currently? I do. This continues to be a HUGE frustration for me. I am continuing to pray and fast over this because it drives me absolutely crazy.Pastor is working with me on this and I am truely grateful for his knowledge. I know he has my best interests at heart. :) :)

I leave for LC tomorrow around 1pm. I am missing all of my Oro peeps so I cannot wait to be with them once again. I am hoping this strengthens my relationship with them. At times I feel lonely although usually it seems to be my own doing. If you have read the above paragraph then you know I'm already working on it.

I'm hoping this post makes at least a little bit of sense. It is 1am and my mind is a bit fuzzy so hang in there with me.

Happy thoughts...happy thoughts

Aghhhhh anxieties are overtaking my soul. I need to really get in my Bible and pray. What happened to my happy thoughts? ...rainbows and butterflies,rainbows and butterflies.Yuck! I can't stand rainbows or butterflies.So how about foggy beaches,foggy beaches,foggy beaches,foggy beaches..ahhhh that feels better. :)

I'm suppossed to be

at Cheryl's house this very minute.Actually more like 30min ago.Kev hasn't fixed the flat on my car yet so Jess and I are sharing cars. J went to Paradise and has yet to return so I'm late going to Cheryl's. I hate being late!!!

I gave blood today which is why I feel a little run down. I probably should be drinking tons more water than I have been. Sometimes though I get tired of drinking water.

I stacked another A to my list today. I thought for sure I got a C or worse on my 2nd Spanish test because I didn't really study like I should have. I got it back today and did tons better than I had anticipated.So whew! That's a relief! :)

randomness to cure my boredom

I heard it through the grapevine...

I love that song :)

On to more important things...church was so awesome tonight! Bro Krantz rocked tonight(as always and obviously not without God).I feel I have to clarify myself just in case you're wondering why I have a lot of parenthesis :) I haven't heard a message that wasn't good in the entire 6 months(going on 7) that I've been coming to Oro.Oh! Happy Almost Birthday Pastor!!!!!!

I had a great time last night with A and Jonathan. There were some pretty hilarious moments that A and I probably won't forget (i'm guessing Jonathan won't either) hahahaa fun stuff!

Do any of you ever miss someone but you see them all the time? Or maybe you just saw them but for some odd, and I mean very odd reason you still miss them? I felt/feel that way tonight.I can't put my finger on that feeling but it isn't something I really like.

....

Sarah's here.Yay! I missed her.Life with her is never dull. My dad and possibly my bro and his gf are coming Tuesday.Full house. Help.

Amy is here hanging out.I'm trying to learn how to be less introverted and umm I guess shy. It's so incredibly uncomfortable but A is awesome and she puts up with me :)

School is incredibly rewarding.I'm so loving it. I think I have just found my calling in life.....a professional student!! Ha...umm yea right.

A long time ago!

I stole this from Crystal's page.Of course I'm zoning out hahaaa..what's new?!

So I've been told

....that an icon is not a real post. Thanks Sis Amber. I haven't had anything to really say so in place of a "real" post I have been posting amusing icons. Apparently I have let down some of my viewers. So sorry. :) Prayer and Bible Conference is over. Lately I have found myself being a homebody so I didn't attend all the services. Nor did I take any pictures. I didn't really see any kodak moments either.Pretty uneventful.Oro did awesome Sat night though. The music was great and of course Sis Amber rocked the drums. From what I hear the guy drummers were ashamed that not only could she play better than them but she is a lady!!!! Ha...yes I was/am very proud to say I know her. Bro Krantz asked me yesterday if I was okay with saying I was from Oroville. It was for sure an interesting question and one that kind of left me thinking. Why would I not be? I do not know but I am for sure proud of where I go. I had a lot of people that knew I hadn't always been attending Oroville ask me how I liked it. Maybe they were expecting a different answer than the one I gave but nevertheless I gave one that came from my heart. I said I am very happy in Oroville and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else AND I can't believe I didn't start going there sooner. Hey is sooner a word? It almost sounds redneck....
