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

SO, I know it's not even thanksgiving yet. BUT, it's time for Christmas posts. My family has this tradition of starting Christmas decorating early :) Usually we wait till this weekend, but I am starting even earlier. If you want to know the truth, I was listening to Christmas music in October. But now I just have to do Christmas posts. First of all, let's rewind to last Christmas :)

~NOVEMBER~

WOW. It's NOVEMBER already. This is just unexpected xD lol. Well good news, CHRISTMAS IS SOON :) We're already getting our christmas music out. I can't wait for christmas!!! Anywhoo, life is so busy. Basketball is just crazy. I go to practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday :) And then usually Saturday games, but not this week. My first game is on the fifteenth :) SO excited :) But for now I'm just trying to learn the basics and the plans. My first basketball practice was really hard but I made it alive! The others have been good to. Just trying to keep up!! And I think I'm doing well so that's good. :) :) :) School is school. I've been doing well, but it takes up a lot of energy :P I love spanish :) es mi favorita (I prolly said that wrong lol :) Andddd that's what iv'e been doing. :) :) :) I love being at my Grandparents house!! It's been fun living near them. I LOVEEEEEEE our house in MI. I have a great place to practice basketball and everything. Golf cart rides never get boring :)
I hope your day is awesome!

~Officially Moved~

   Well its official. Our house is SOLD! I was really surprised it sold :) Two people wanted it. I was like woahman! lol :) Anywhoo, there isn't much to talk about I guess. School is school. I practiced basketball like two hours today, I'm not kidding. I have practice on monday goodness, I'm so nervous. It was so funny the coach was like, "you know she's fast, blah blah blah, but she didn't know quite what she was doing out there." I think that's so funny. Despite being good for basketball I really didn't know about I was doing on the court! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH i really think that's funny. . Anywhoo, I just got my forms to fill out, I'm SUPER excited. I'm just bouncing off the ceiling. I hope i do well. I still don't know what team I'm on, whether jr. or v. I don't think theres a JV. Anywhoo, it really doesn't matter. I'm not like really good or anything. I'm sure all of you could figure out the pro's and cons of being on a varsity team and not being good. It's fine though. It's my freshmen year so I've got time. That's whats goin on here ;)
~I hope your day is awesome :)

   Hello~
I love the picture above :) Isn't is gorgeous? I cannot wait for snow. I know that sounds funny. I usually complain about it. Honestly, I don't like snow. I don't like cold. I like doing few activities in snow {like snowboarding} but otherwise I don't like snow. I don't like being cold. I think it's easier to be cold in a hot then hot in cold. BUT, I LOVE the way it looks :) Looking at snow covered trees and bushes is just so fun! I love seeing WHITE! I just think it's lovely. :) :) :) :) I look forward to the look of snow. :) And with snow comes Christmas. I think White Christmas's are a must! :) It makes Christmas special. But anywhoo, you know I love Christmas lol. I could go on about it forever, but I'll spare you the reading.
 Well, I've got school tomorrow. All I can say is pray for me xD I'm nervous. This is where I run away yelling "I'm gonna die." But then again...I always live.
 ~Hope your day is awesome!~
