So it has been 2 months to the day since I blogged on here, lol. I think I've been slacking a little bit :(
The past two months have been pretty busy. I've worked on scholarships like crazy, and visited some colleges, and stuff like that.
I finally decided where I'm going to college! So that's pretty exciting. I'm going to Oakland City University, which is the last place I thought I'd go, but I'm still pretty excited. It's just nice to finally know where I will be next year.
Prom is TOMORROW!!! Woohoo! I'm pretty excited :) I can't believe our senior prom is here already, it's going to be a blast!
Then after prom we only have like a month left until graduation. It's going by so fast! It's exciting but kinda sad and scary at the same time. I'm going to miss everyone, but I'll get to see a lot of people still since I'm not going far.
Anyways, I think I'm done on here. Hope everyone has a great weekend :)
God bless!

My Amazing Weekend...

So, this weekend was absolutely wonderful!!!
I had the opportunity to work a Chrysalis Flight girl's retreat, which is a place where you go just to learn more about God and grow in your walk with Him. I went on my Flight last year, and it was amazing! So after I was done I applied to work one whenever they needed me.
Back in December, I was called by Becky, the lady in charge, and asked to work this Chrysalis. I got to be an assistant table leader, so I got to spend a lot of time with the girls.
So Friday, right after school, I got all packed up, went to pick up Aubrey who was also working it, and we headed to Camp Illiana in Washington. We just spent the night preparing for the girls to get there Saturday.
It lasted Saturday through last night, and I just can tell how wonderful it was. There were a total of 42 girls that went, and there were 48 of us working. So it was a pretty full weekend.
The girls had an amazing time, and it was great to be able to be there for them. We even had one girl who wasn't a Christian yet and she got saved. God just did so much to help and heal those girls, and it was awesome! Every single person there was amazing, and I miss it so much already.
We would have loved to just stay there forever with all our amazing friends, but it's time to get out and "Let Our Lives Speak!"
Hope everyone else had an amazing weekend, good luck to everyone that did the Lilly interviews! God bless :)

First Full Day Back.....oh joy

Today is our first full day of school in almost two weeks.
I think I would prefer just to have delays every day for the rest of the year, I am over getting up this early in the morning, lol.
The week off of school was definitely nice. I stayed at home for the most part. I finally got out last Thursday to work. First I had to shovel all the snow out of our driveway though. The snowplow was nice enough to come through and clear our street. In doing so, however, he blocked all our driveways so we couldn't get out to use the nicely plowed streets.
My first day out of the house I had to go to work. It was pretty quiet, and went by very slowly.
I enjoyed my time at home though. My mom and I watched Gilmore Girls, Pride and Prejudice, and 27 Dressed over the course of several days. Of course I also had to work on scholarship applications, they just never end. Friday, though, I got to go sledding, which was great!
Anyways, this weekend is pretty busy. I am leaving right after school to go to Illinois, which means that sadly I can't go to Homecoming tonight :(
I have to go to Millikin University for their Scholarship Competition and an Honors Program interview. I'm a bit nervous, but not too bad.
We are coming home Saturday night, and then Sunday for the second week in a row I am playing piano during church service. I was extremely nervous last week, but this week not so bad. I get to pick the songs out, which is actually pretty fun.
Well, class is about over so I'm gonna go ahead and end this. Hope everyone has a great weekend, God bless!
:)

So.....I am sitting here in speech, no longer college english, 1st period.
It is definitely pretty boring at the moment, so I figured I would post since I haven't since before Christmas break.
School is going to be over in less than 4 months, it's crazy! We had a senior meeting the other day talking about graduation and all, and it was kinda scary.
It's exciting though.
I'm still not sure where I will be going to college, I guess it all kinda depends on scholarships and stuff.
I'm looking at Millikin University, Bethel College, and Oakland City University. I still have to go to Bethel and Millikin for their scholarship competitions over the next two months.
I am guessing we may not have school tomorrow, because we are supposed to get a bunch of snow tonight. Hopefully we don't get any delays or anything Wednesday, though, because that's when we're going to see "To Kill A Mockingbird!!!!" Hooray!
Well, I better get off here, because it's almost time to go. Until next time, God bless and have a great week :)

Walking in a WInter Wonderland...well sortof...

So I realize that I have been slacking and haven't posted a blog on here for almost a month, oh no! lol...So I figured I should change that.
First of all, I will say that I am absolutely thrilled because we are getting out at noon!!! That is a wonderful start to the week :) It is supposed to be getting icy, cold, and possibly snowy. I am really hoping for snow. When it's this cold I like there to be a reason for it. Snow always looks so pretty so I am ready for it to come.
Moving on, this past month has been pretty busy. I've been doing different scholarship stuff, I went on a college visit, and lots of other things. I got to go bell-ringing with Bekah on Friday at Pamida, then I did a 30 hour fast with my youth group. We went bowling Friday night which was pretty fun. Then Saturday I went to a meeting for the retreat I am working in February. After that I went home and took a LONG nap. Then I went to the church and we had a ton of food since our fast was over, and after that I got to babysit.
Yesterday I went to church and just hung out with my family. Then last night we had the Children's Christmas play at church. I played piano before it started while everyone was sitting and waiting, and everything went pretty good.
This week should be pretty good. I don't really have any finals that should be too terrible. Then it's time for Christmas Break!!! I can't wait! It will be great to have two weeks off, plus I love Christmas. Also, we are going up north for a few days over break. I get to see my grandparents and a bunch of my friends.
Well, I suppose I am going to get off here now. Hope everyone has a good week :)

Oh Deer!!!

So, last night, I definitely hit a deer.
I was on my way to school to help set up for the NHS induction ceremony, and I was like 30 seconds away from school. All of a sudden there was something brown in front of me and Crash! I didn't even know what happened until it was over. I didn't have any time to slow down, so I hit the deer going like 55. It smashed in the front of my car and one of my headlights, and went up and over and smashed my windshield, and both airbags went off. Plus, apparently it hit something with the horn because the horn would NOT turn off. It was quite annoying.
So a guy ended up calling 911 and the ambulance came and they had to check me out. Thank goodness Becca drove by and had her mom pull over so she sat with me until my mom got there.
Finally after we finished things up with towing and the police I was actually able to make it to the ceremony in time. It went really well.
All I have to say is one of God's angels was definitely watching over me, because my parents were always telling me I needed to move my steering wheel up more because if the airbags went off they could hurt my ribs or stomach. And the crazy thing is yesterday morning on my way to school for some reason I decided to move it up. I just thought that was pretty crazy.
Anyways, thats about it. Just thought I should write about the fact that I no longer have a car :( haha....But it'll all be ok. Hope everyone has a great week, and watch out for deer!

Exhaustion......

So I am writing a new post because Mrs. S said to...although chances are I will not remember any of what I am writing right now.
I am sooo tired and out of it right now. I haven't gotten to bed until between eleven and twelve every night this week. And leave it to say I do not function well on a funky sleeping pattern. I like catching myself plenty of Z's.
So the reason for my lack of sleep would be the fall play, which is going really well. I am having lots of fun with it, and it hasn't been too stressful, just a bit at times. But I have tried to stay really organized so I can keep stuff going smoothly as much as I can.
The play is this weekend, and I am a bit nervous but very excited. The good side of being so busy worrying about stuff backstage is I don't even have time to think about getting nervous for my small speaking part, woohoo!
Well, I guess I am going to go. Hope everyone has a great week and weekend :)
