jsb

so jsb was amazing! we started out just wanting to get together at Danielle's house to do each others hair and makeup, and then it expanded into Danielle's mom hiring someone to come do it for us. that was fun, id never had it done before. prom was at the omni hotel in downtown la. we stood around just talking to people, before we went into the main room. we had dinner which was yummy- chicken and rice and veggies. there was this tomato. a baby tomato that looked nice and red and fresh. i leaned over to Amy to ask how i should eat it without spraying juice everywhere, and she said to scoop it up. so we both scoop it up, and right as i put it in my mouth she makes a bad noise. i look over, and her face isn't looking very happy :O. she says"its cooked! i HATE cooked tomatoes, but what can i do? its already in my mouth. i bit down- and oh my goodness, that was the worst thing i have ever tasted! it was still warm and everything. i was gagging for about three minutes:P the dance was fun, but a little disappointing. generally everyone gets up to dance, but this year everyone got up to wander around the room. there were probably only about 60 people dancing. there was no sink hole in the middle. Mr bras started dancing, which was hilarious. so yes, it was very fun, and i liked it. the night ended with Gary driving us home, going no slower than 80 the whole way (jk, but he goes super fast). oh, and some people were asking how to get to the same freeway we were going to, so Gary says follow us! well when he goes 50, and is dodging around moving cars, screeching around corners- i just wondered what the other people were thinking!

parties, work, and more parties

i thought i would try to illustrate my post with pics.
friday was danielles b-day, so amy and i decorated her car with bows while grace distracted her.
we had a half day for jsb, so we went over to danielle's where we had hair and makeup done. then we went to the dance, which was awesome at the omni hotel in downtown la.

we were taking pics out front, and danielle "accidentally" hit amy in the face. so amy looks pained, and the rest of us are laughing- poor amy!

i hate this pic, but i said id post it.

heres me, grace, and danielle

danielle and i looking like we usually do at eachother,

and danielle and andrea.

after we got home from jsb, i went straight to the bed. after amy pulled 59 pins out of my head (it hurt so much- not the taking them out, the them being in). so i went to bed in a different room bc i had to wake up so i could work at julies the next day. i woke up at 7, drove home, took a shower, and then went to work. i was there from 10-6. then i rushed home, changed, and went to heathers bridal shower. i was about 30 minutes late, and by the time i finally got there, everyone was eating and i walked in when Sammy Brandon was reading a "devotion," i had to walk to the very front of the room too, bc I'm a bridesmaid. then we went to a taco stand bc i was starving!

we went home, i crawled into bed, got up to go to church. crawled back in bed after church. woke up and left for my grandpa's bday party, left to go bbsit, and now i am home. i have had a busy weekend, but it was fun.

expelled

i went to see the movie expelled tonight. i wouldn't call it good, but it was interesting. it told all about how scientists who believe in a higher power are basically shunned and fired. it was pretty scary to see how evolutionists are "taking over." i can definitely see it being showed in christian schools (blank) years from now.

4/12

today was great!
i woke up, and worked on my Bible paper,
took a shower,
i went to a book store at the lakewood mall where they have books for a dollar. i bought four childrens books. the mixed up files of mrs basil e frankwiler, i cant remember the others, and my mom gave me blueberries for sal. all for my someday kids, but i love them, and can remember reading them.
then we went down to belmont shores and we went in a flower shop for the wedding, we went into tjs, where i got a smoothie- which tasted good since it was like 5 billion degrees out!
then i went with heather to a thriftstore. i found an awesome side table, which matches the one i got a couple of months earlier!

Elephant Paints Self Portrait

wow! this movie is pretty long, so just fforward to the end. i can't believe it can draw this well!

she loves to catch a ride around on my shoulders

4/5/08

today was nice. i worked at julies for 6 hours. today was the first time it was ever busy while i was working, so there were always people which made it not such a long day. the problem is, whenever i go there, i always want to buy something. they have a necklace i love!!! it is a small chain, with a fresh-water pearl, and a little pendant that says joy. i studied for chemistry all day. then i came home, and looked over Bible. then, i went to target. i looked at shoes, but there weren't any that were fancy enough/ i liked that would go with my dress. but i love to wander around target. and now, it is now!

Amazing Reading 17 Month Old

wow, can you believe this? 17 months! i know some people at valley who have about the same reading skills as this kid- she is good!

Providence

today was long, but ok, i guess. once we arrived we took a tour of the campus- so small. it is about the size of the middle school i would guess? we then went to a class and chapel. the class was ok- boring, but the teacher seamed really nice, and there were only about 10 kids, so if you had a Q, you could ask. chapel was pretty awesome, too. a group had just gone down to Costa Rica on a service trip, and they talked about that. then we went to lunch, and the people were so friendly! we sat with 3 or 4 other girls, and they were all super nice. later they took us around to the dorms, which were HUGE! there were about 4 girls in a dorm. laundry is free, which is cool. then we went and talked to some people about financial aid and all. something that made me happy. the total cost is about 24,000 a year. if you score above a 1500 on the sat, and have a gpa above a 3.8, you can have 75% off!!! thats 18,000. which leaves 6. if i get the scholarship from valley, that is an additional 1,000 off. plus -500 bc i go to a reformed church. amazing. it would be awesome to only have to pay 4,500 for a Christian education. so ya, it was a pretty good day. and they are only about an hour away from here- very easy to get home for the three day weekends

first of the season

i got my first layer of red today! i went to the beach with amy and grace. the weather was perfect- warm, but the breeze made it nice. we didn't go in swimming, though. much too early and cold for that. we sat on a blanket and talked, and i ate subway, which was verry yummy.
now, i feel hot and itchy, though. i didnt know i was getting burned.
tomorrow should be fun. (not). i have to go visit Providence. it is something good to do, i just don't want to- especially not on one of the last days of vacation.
