Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming soon and I can't wait! I'm not getting much, but I don't care it's still my favorite time of year! I love Christmas Eve even more than Christmas day. I help my grandma decorate their Christmas tree, and I take my cousins', aunt and uncle's, and grandparent's presents and put them under their tree. Then at night we go out and look at all the Christmas lights, and when we get back we hang our stockings on above the fireplace. At 8 o'clock starts the 24 hour marathon of the movie A Christmas Story on tbs. I love this movie! It's my favorite Christmas movie ever! I love giving presents just as much, possibly more, than giving them! I love to wrap presents, and then see people unwrap them. Christmas is the best time ever! Then a day or so later is my second Christmas! I simply can't wait! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! or as some would say- HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND MERRY NEW YEAR!!!

Shaved Leg

Throughout my life, my brother never ceases to amaze me with the randomness he has. Yesterday I went home, sat down on the couch and turned the TV on. My brother turns to me and said,"Look what I did!" He then proceeded to pull up his pant leg. At first I didn't realize what exactly he was showing me until I saw what he had done. My dearest 20 year old brother had shaved his leg, and badly too by the looks of it. I couldn't believe my eyes. I asked him why in the world he'd do such a ridiculous thing, and he replied that he thought it would be funny. My only hopes are that he didn't use my razor! So fellow peoples of the world I need your help. I need reasons, other than "I thought it would be funny", for why in the world a guy would shave his leg or legs.

P.S. My brother is planning on shaving the other, it just took him so long to shave the first that he didn't want to spend another 20 minutes shaving the other.

Youth Group

My youth group is totally awesome! Pastor Mara is the best youth pastor there is. If you haven't been there you should be! We have the best games ever and way to much fun. It's not just fun and games it's about God too!

Awesome Accountability Partner!!!

So in my youth group we were signed accountability partners. They're meant to help you grow in the Lord, be there for you, brighten your day, and much more. My accountability partner Mary is the best of the best. She asks me how my heart is, and when she does it brightens my day to know she cares. Hopefully we'll be meeting sometime like once a week to pray together. I haven't talked to her about it yet, but I will. Stay tuned to hear more about Mary and I!!!

Don't take it personally...

Alright some of you seem to be taking the tattoos and God post like I'm insulting you. I may be misjudging this, but just to clarify... that's my opinion. It doesn't have to be yours. However, do something that most people are not willing to do. Put aside the emotions and connections and traditions that go along with your reasons for getting tattoos. Just think about God, and whether or not He'd want you to get a tattoo. I understand the meaning behind getting tattoos of family members... this is tough for me because it is an expression of sadness. As a person who thinks most tattoos are hideous and doesn't believe in them...even I might consider it. However, I then think about whether or not God would want me to do it. There are other ways to express things, and it doesn't have to include causing bodily harm. I guess we'll only know in heaven whether we were right or wrong. If I'm wrong I'll find all of you who were right and apologize. If I'm right hopefully you'll do the some.

Love, peace, and the pursuit of happiness.

Growing Apart

There comes a time, I think, in every person's life that you see the people you love slipping away from you. As we grow older you and your friends grow apart. People that used to be your best friends suddenly never want you over, don't really tell you anything about their life, don't listen to the things you have to say, and suddenly they seem to be mad at you more often. You see that you're friends are focusing on leaving and will do anything to do so... even if that means leaving you behind. I've experienced this and it breaks my heart. So what do you do when you've realized that your best friend has dumped you? Any thoughts? I for once don't really know or even have an answer...

Jumping In...

So I'm jumping in to what will be the craziest year of my school career. It's my senior year and already everything is in full swing, and now I will be devoting my time to helping teachers in my study hall time instead of doing my work. This won't be just once or twice a week this will be Monday through Friday. So pray that I'll hold my patience, keep up with my work, and most important of all have a good time!

Praise for Brisingr!

Warning: this post does contain spoilers! So Brisingr by Christopher Paolini! An Amazing book. I read it in about two and a half days... let me tell you folks this book is worth reading. I was so happy when Eragon killed the Ra'zac and when he found out that his father wasn't Morzan but Brom. I can't wait till I can buy this book for myself instead of getting it from the library! If you wanna get me this book I'm open to receiving it! ;-)

Just One of those Occasions...

Have you ever run into one of those occasions where you're feeling like you need to be really quiet when you're with someone working? I have.... and no matter how hard you try to be quiet the louder you seem to become until every time you move you make some annoying noise and even when you don't move you make a noise that you have no idea where it came from!!!!! I was just in one of those situations, and I become so incredibly uncomfortable that I decided to write about it. So learn from me folks. Cause it's just one of those occasions...

The Library Continued

So the continuation of the library saga...!!! So I learned a lesson that day at the library. No matter how annoying doing something that you feel is not worth your time, in the end the hard work that you achieve makes you feel really good! So ladies and gentleman hard work does pay off!
