my first day off...

i used to start cleaning my new bedroom. it is so incredibly filthy, and that makes it all the more satisfying. making something "new" out of something "old," feels amazing. that is one of the reasons i love art. to be able to make something out of nothing- i feel like God. and i don't mean that flippantly. how awesome would it have been for Him making the world. and on top of that, He gets to see Christians becoming "cleaner" and "cleaner."

weddings

Thursday:
Thursday was the bach. party. we went down to second street to the crape cafe, which was amazing. i actually had pasta, but we had a crape for dessert, and it was awesome. i think it was nutella, with banana, and strawberries, and whipped cream. yum!
friday:
we had the rehearsal, which went really well. then, we went to the kent's for dinner. it was gorgeous, with tents and lights outside. there were some huge lightning bugs, though. for dinner, we had something called jambalese? not sure if that is how you say or spell it. it is wanton crackers, with rice, shredded chicken, and you could put: gravy, applesauce, green onion, tomatoe, cheese, pineapple, celery, and a couple other things. it sounds gross, it did to me atleast, but it was actually pretty good.

today was really long, and really amazing. the night before, we spent at heather's apartment, up until 1, woke up at about 6:30. we had sticky buns for breakfast, then we met at the church at nine to set up, and do hair, and makeup. everyone looked so pretty. we had subway for lunch, and then the wedding! it was so pretty, i walked down with paul kent. it was very hard not to cry. nathan was so cute! i could look into his eyes as he said the vows, and he looked like he really meant them. then, we cleaned the church, and i went home, where all my family was. we were all eating pizza and drinking stuff- awesome to see people we dont usually get to.

i am so exhausted, i haven't been able to sleep in, in forever! ill post pics later.

i find out my sat test scores tom! yikes, this could change my whole life. not really, i just felt like dramatizing things. i am reading a book for school, br frank peretti, piercing the darness. it is pretty good, it represents angels and demons as being very real. it is kind of neat...

laughter

i have been reading a book of humorous quotes my mom has recorded over the years from when we were little, and i haven't laughed this much in a long time!

Mothers Day!

in honor of mothers day, we always have the grandparents over. the conversation was hilarious. first they talked about flies. our screen door has a hole, and theyve been coming in, and it drives my mom crazy. i was in a different room, so i didnt hear the beginning, but here is the rest of it. this is my grandma pollard- these flies are getting smarter! those are not the same flies we had when i was growing up. ???
we also had one of those "when i was young..." they were talking about how they didnt have any of these electronics, and how they played outside. they made a list of their favorite games: marbles, trading cards (like actual playing cards), jacks, and hopscotch. then my grandmother leans over to me and says- have you heard of hopscotch? i laughed and said yes. she said, well you never know, it was a long time ago! i may have more electronic things available to me today, but as a kid, i still spent a lot of time oustide with my siblings. the only real electronic system we had was nintendo 64, and i dont think mario cart had a corrupting influence on my innocent little life. :D
