~It's the New Year~

  Hello again :D

In case your wondering this is what I've been doing ------> -------> --------->
Yep. Drinking Coffee xD Me and my grandma have this thing for Latte's.
Anywhoo, how did I do? I posted a recent picture. This coffee isn't even finished yet. OH YEAH! I figured out that I can take pics on my Ipod, send it to myself in an email, download it, upload it to picnik, then put it in my desktop, then upload it and post! Haha, that's all that I did to get this one picture, lol.
  Well I just have to share a story that..da da da! Hasn't happened yet. The story of me waking up at 3:45am to go to a basketball tourney in Indianapolis. Doesn't that sound FUN!? It will be trust me, just not the uh...early part. I'm riding with my basketball friend, Nicole and her family, and we are destined to arrive before 7:00am :) HA! And for some reason, I really can't think why, they'll think I'll talk the whole way xD xD But I reassure them that in the morning, I'll be tired....hopefully xD JUST KIDDING lol I will get some sleep in the car, or else I won't play well, and I definitely want to play well. I'm sure Samantha could tell you that I am the quietest at 3:45 xD MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Just pray that we have a safe ride and an awesome tourney on Saturday :)
   Andd I'm getting better at SPANISH! YAY! It's actually surprising that I love Spanish so much. I'm doing well though, and I'm keeping with it. We're learning Adjectives this week so I've got a bunch of Vocab to do. I'm good at it now, and I can't wait for the quiz next week. I will do better than last week XD I've also been book writing lately. I've been experimenting with writing in the first tense and I think I'm doing okay. I'll have to see! What have you guys been doing? :D

~Hope your day is awesome~

~New Years Day~

   HAPPY NEW YEARS! :) :) Wow. It's New Years Eve....This year has gone by so fast. I have to say I am thankful for many things. So many wonderful things have happened. I'm first of all thankful for family :) They've been just as great as they always have been. I'm thankful for great friends. Old and New. I'm thankful for moving to MI, yes, I love MI. I miss everyone back in IL, but MI has been great. It's been a blessing serving my grandparents here. I'm thankful for basketball. That's been a big thing this fall. Wow, learning a new sport is quite fun. I'm getting better and better and can now officially dribble through my legs. YAY! :)
   Anddd so for this lovely new years eve day we went out to chili's for lunch. We're going to have sundays, and watch movies and play games! I can't wait. I love staying up late. Although, I've stayed up till 12 often enough, I guess the real privilege is my parents stay up with me. As I've said before I'm a late night person NOT a morning person. And guess what the bad part about new years eve is? IT'S THE DEADLINE FOR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. AHHHHHHH! I'm giving up pop for 6months this year. I'm dreading it, I'm admitting. I hope I make it. xD But yeah......coke.......pop.....every time I go to out to eat, I'll be getting lemonade...the very thought scares me. It's okay. I will survive.
  Anywhoo, isn't this amazing? I'm actually posting within three days of each other. I'm very proud of myself. I've failed across the past two months. xD haha. I did what, two christmas posts? HAHA. Wow. I can look back and laugh now. I will try to do better in this coming year.

{Sorry this is posted sideways. I couldn't get it to work. Well, all can say is I've always had weird ideas! xD}

  Lastly I'm thankful for my wonderful savior :) He's shown me many things this year and he truly does miracles. :D
  I hope you all have wonderful new years eve's. And I love hearing from you. I miss you all <3

Hope your day is awesome

At least I blogged now right? :D Haha. I know right this is really sad. Anywhoo, I can say HAPPY NEW YEAR! HA! I said it first...I think :)
    I can't share much by pictures. I didn't get to take a million pictures which I was planning, but here were a few :)

{OOHHHHH yes. Over Christmas guess what? In Chicago IN IMAX I saw Mission Impossible Four. Our group went late it was so much fun. I've been waiting quite awhile. Movie rating? 5/5 :) O YES!}

{We have witnesses that on the way we were....very quiet xD}

{Shopping in Chicago with my Dad, Donna, Mom, and me. :) Memories BUILT}

  And those are small parts :) We went to Chicago with the family a few days before Christmas. We were at the Palmer House Hilton! IT was SO much FUN! I love the palmer house. :) Before Christmas on the 19th I had a Basketball game and I scored! I scored a two pointer and a free throw. I was so HAPPY :) :) On Christmas we opened presents and went to Church! It was FUNN! :) I got dutch blitz which is awesome. Happy memories. And a bunch of other things. Christmas is SO AmAZING! :) I can't believe it's passed, can you?

OMYBANANAS!

   ALRIGHTY!
I'm so sorry I haven't blogged. OMYBANANAS :) It's been forever!!! THANKSGIVING IS OVER :) Well first of all I want to say what I'm thankful for...

 Three main things. I could go on forever about things I'm thankful for :)

{First of all, MY LORD and SAVIOR who died for me on Calvary. Over these weeks he's really shown himself to me and I'm thankful for that. And what great timing :) On Thanksgiving week!}

{My Family -My Parents. They have been wonderful this year. I'm so thankful for both of them. They've both encouraged me so much! I love them :)}

{Family-Donna :) She is AWESOME. I love her so much. And I've been thankful for her since I knew her.}

{And the rest of em'. Look at those darling faces! I'm thankful for them everyday :) They're all blessings.}

{And Friends :) Yes, Friends are something to be thankful for. I'm thankful for a special one :D}

{Friends-I'm thankful to be able to have fellowship with friends. Even when I don't get to see them a lot :)}

     Thanksgiving was a lot of fun :) We had turkey, green beans, rice, salad, and mash potatoes. It was the best! FOOD is so good. We had family in to :) It was fun.
     Now Christmas is COMING!!! I'm SO excited. We have our decorations, lights AND tree up. Pictures to come soon :) :) :) I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
      What I like is when everything is DECORATED. First of all, things get decorated. For example COKE:

{Do you see???? ITS WHITE. I was totally stunned. It's Christmas COKE :) Nothin' is better. There is polar bears and everything :)} 

      Second thing is like is, is that places are decorated. Sadly, no picture, but like Chicago is decorated. All the window scenes at Macy's, the big tree and Santa's on the street. Also, houses are decorated. Lights, trees, plates, and everything!!! YAY! :) :)
      And people are decorated.

{Hehehehe Santa's comin' to town}

    So Christmas is wonderful. Christ is BORN! I can't wait!
   And if your wondering, Life has been BUSY. Wednesdays are evilllllll :) Just kidding. They're busy. I'm doing a skit at awana. I'm SO NERVOUS pray for me. ALSO, basketball is NUTSY :) hahahaha I'm meeting new friends. It's been awesome! Sprints are evil, but I'm getting better. HAHA. We've played two games and have a game on Saturday. We're playing crossroads! How exciting :)
    So anywhoo, pray for me. My life is very busy and I've been leaning on God :) Pray for my Grandad to, because he's been sick and having a lot of appointments.
   I hope your doing well :D I love emails and would love to keep up with all of you :D
Hope your day is awesome. Hope your Christmas is amazing <3

~The best Christmas CD~

             Merry Christmas!

Hahaha, it feels really funny saying that, but I am not ashamed xD Anyways, my sincere apologies for not blogging. Everything is down right busy. Life is going on and on and on, and by God's grace I'm getting through it. :) 

  Well, this is my Christmas blogging month, and I am going to start with my favorite Christmas CD. Now I realize that everyone has differing opinions on the subject, but I wanted to share with you my favorite Christmas CD. 

   My favorite Christmas CD is: 

 AVALON! JOY! :D 

Alright, well first of all, it's my favorite Christmas CD, because we've had it since I was at least Isaac's age and even longer. Yes, although, we've switched from CD, to buying it on itunes, having it on the computer, etc. We've managed to keep it around. So every Christmas growing up, when we decorated the tree and put out decorations, we had Avalon playing. I remember that it was my favorite CD, because it was 'adult' Christmas music and because it was joyful and happy. And even from a young age I understood all the songs. 

 The second reason I like is because really looking at the CD, and all the songs, it is a very well-put-together CD. It has classic Christmas songs, like The first noel, Angels we have heard on high, and joy to the world. Yet, they put their own twist to it and it really sounds fun and jazzy :) It also has the song "Don't save it all for Christmas day." I love that song! It's one of my favorites. There are great versions of it. But the two songs that I'd have to say I like the most are "We are the Reason" and "Light a Candle." They are both beautiful songs! I would definitely recommend them. The whole CD just has a great combination of songs and I will always have it as a part of my Christmas!!!

~Hope your days are awesome, hope your Christmas is amazing <3
