Interests: I love acting crazy with all my awesome friends, playing my guitar, driving around with Kari singing at the top of our lungs, looking for cell phones while talent scouting, giving names to exceptionally cute guys that Rach and I find, watching movies during thunderstorms, laughing till it hurts for no particular reason, swing dancing, blues clues macaroni, any music by relient k, switchfoot, tobymac, bowling for soup, goo goo dolls, evanescence and ryan cabrera, taking random trips to wendys, sleeping, strawberry "eis" in vienna, shopping at american eagle for the fifth time in two days, running barefoot across a 27* deck just to soak and relax in the hot tub, flip flops year-round, sipping drinks at quaint little cafes in europe, original pringles, my build-a-bear chloe, cary grant movies and above all... my savior Jesus Christ who, no matter how many times I screw up, will always take me back and never stop loving me.

So spring break was pretty much the coolest ever and I thought I'd break my really long streak of not posting to put up some pics.  As most of you know I went on senior sneak where none of the 10 of us had any idea where we were gonna go.  Man oh man it was sweet.  We ended up taking an rv from santonio to sedona, arizona.  (say it... it sounds cool hehe) So what did we do on our excursion you may ask?  At the beginning of the week we went to the grand canyon and there was snow! Woohoo!! Each day was a surprise so we'd wake up at some unheard of hour (5am mostly) and then drive around in our "funmobile" as rick called it until we got to our next destination.  Anyway, after the grand canyon we hung out in sedona for a day or so and then went off-roading in these hot pink jeeps.    That was so fun!! Ooh yeah and among many many other things we also went up in a hot air balloon one morning... it was pretty flippin awesome.  So yeah... here are some pics from the week... enjoy!


This was the view outside our hotel in sedona


We hung out in the 20* weather to watch the sun set over the grand canyon
Yeah so it was a good thing we had seatbelts on
And then when the hot air balloon landed, some of us got out cuz we had to walk it back to the road... this huge thing just hovering about six feet off the ground and we pulled it along... hehe it was soo fun!

Alrighty then, that's all.  Oh yeah and the profile pic is some random sign that was up at the majorly ghetto gas station we stopped at.  Night everyone!

"New weblog entry"... my it's been a while since I hit that button.  Ah well, I'm tired of being at the bottom of everyone's subscriptions list so I thought I'd come back and update and for once I'll be at the top! Yay!  Ok not really that exciting oh well. 

Ok so I totally set my dinner on fire tonight.   It was really sad too cuz I was all looking forward to my yummy sandwhich and then my roll just kinda when WHOOSH in the oven and had a nice flame going.  (hehe "i shall make FIAH!") Was a little funny tho cuz I was all toasting it right and asked Kels to check it for me so she opens oven and was like whoa dude, it's on fire.  (a bit more dramatized than that tho)  She then proceeds to do nothing as I bravely put it out.    So yeah, I ate the half that didnt catch fire and that one only suffered from 3rd degree burns.

So along with like everyone and their mom I saw chronicles of narnia this weekend.  Very well done in my opinion.  I thought some of the changes they made were a little strange but overall they followed the book pretty closely.   This one so totally beats out that awful version they made of that book however many years ago. Ya'll ever see that?  Haha like that horrid girl who played lucy? Man oh man... she was one of the main reasons I hated that movie.  Plus I watched it when I was like seven and the witch terrified me beyond reason.  Anyway, all that to say... I really liked this new one and thought that those kids did an amazing job especially for having not acted at all before.  So what'd ya'll think... did it do justice to the book or not?  ... well I'm off to work on my semester projects that I procrastinated on till this week.  Hehe, yeah it's gonna be a loong week... night everybody!

::EDIT::
    Turns out that I've got an extra david crowder ticket for tonight soo, if anybody's interested in going give me a call. (ha late notice I know) Hope you feel better soon becca... you will be sorely missed!


*shocked face* Could it be? Is she really posting? Yup here I am... breaking my 3 week long absence from posting. As Em said a few days ago, its not that I didnt have any time at all to write, I just haven't really had any motivation.  Ker and Rach and I were discussing this over the weekend.... it's too bad that we've all kinda lost our interest in xanga just as it gets cool. Now you can put up pics and do all this other cool stuff and we're kinda like, meh. Oh well, I have enough college and scholarship applications that take up the majority of my time instead of posting on here all the time.

Hmm. That seemed kinda depressing.... maybe not, I dunno.  I feel like I've been in such a strange mood recently.  Not particularly a good one either... the past week or so I've just felt so horridly complacent.  Instead of  keeping up with devotions, and working on friendships or whatever, I've kinda settled back into just going with the crazy flow of life. Not that that's necessarly bad or anything, cause of course trying to resist dealing with life would be retarted and pointless... but the past week or so I've been fine just to go along, looking out for myself  and going through the motions without thinking anything of it. It's so easy for me to get caught up with school, and college stuff and not leave time for spending time with God cause honestly, of all the other things... He's the only thing that will matter any given amount of time from now.  I've been reading Blue Like Jazz ^ and it's so simple yet so thought provoking.  I love stuff that doesn't just tell you what to think... it gives you all the materials then makes you think for yourself.  It's really helped me to take a step back and reanalyze certain things... good stuff. Oh and while I'm on the topic of random, scattered thoughts... I absolutely love switchfoot's beautiful letdown song. I was listening to that earlier tonight and the words "I dont belong here, no I dont belong here, feels like I dont belong here..." were so encouraging to me!  No duh I feel like I dont have the hang of this life, or why I sometimes feel like I struggle to fit it... I'm not supposed to! This world is not my home and I'm just passing through... to belong would be to conform instead of to transform and that's not what I want at all. 

Wow ok that took long enough. My apologies for scattered ideas and what not... never can quite tell what's gonna come out once I start writing. Oh well, I'm off to get some of the homework I know I'll get tomorrow done so I can finish everything before the david crowder concert tomorrow night!! Woohoo I'm so excited!! Adios amigos...

AAAHHHHH!!  I'm soo incredibly tired it's not even funny, I haven't been this tired in quite long time.  Why am I so lacking in energy you ask? The answer is this... I got up at 5:45 this morning!!!   I suppose that may not be that early for some but for me it like... might as well be nightime. Oy, needlesss to say it's been a long day.  All in all life is stupendous though... the kids we were keeping are all gone and left restoring our house to peace and quiet. Yay!! To celebrate their leaving and being back to a family of five, we got sonic for dinner, went to a movie then got frostys at wendys afterward.   Ha Kels and I had too much fun in wendys... cuz i'm so exhausted and sore from running too much and all that fun stuff,  I was in a really whacky mood so we were goofing off a ton.  We serenaded the place with a nice round of "when cameron was in egypt's land.... let my cameron gooooo."  Ooh yeah then we somehow switched over to elf  and did the whole "i'm singing... to my dad... *yada yada stuff here i dont remember* cuz i love you, I Love You, I LOOOVE YOUUU!!" Fun times.

Ho hum... work this morning was interesting. They hired a new lady who evacuated here from louisiana.  She and her husband lived here like 14 years ago or something and when they were here they used to go to wayside so I guess that's why they came here.  I didnt want to ask her a whole lot about it in case she wasnt up for talking about what happened or what not so I dont know how much of their stuff they made it out with or anything like that.  She just said she wanted to get a job and earn some money instead of sitting in her hotel all day cuz that's where they're living.  So yeah, it was kinda cool to talk to her this morning. Oh but I'm sad because I left my bible at church on sunday (stupid kate) and now I can't find it.  I needed an excuse to get away from our pycho kids this morning so I looked all over and asked around to see if anyone had found it and no one had a clue what I was talking about. Poo. That makes two now... hehe I lost my other cool little metal bible a while ago and I had written a ton of stuff in it too.  Now my main study bible is gone so all I have left is the one en espanol.... ha yeah that'll get me real far. 

Oh you know what I realized the other day? Ha of course you dont so I"ll tell you. It's a rather good idea to make sure your AC vent is open during the blazing days of summer.  I was in Kari's room a coupla nights ago and noticed how nice and cool it felt..."hmm. mine never feels like this."  So I go in to my room to see if I can open my  vent any farther but oh yeah, it'd be a good idea for it to be open at all first.  Hehe sure does make a significant difference when things function the way they were made too.

Haha this is ridiculous... there are toys completely covering our living room.  Babysitting kids for an extended period of time makes me glad that I dont have any really  little siblings who leave stuff everywhere.  My mom's keeping two little boys for five days and they've been pretty tiring.  These guys have an attention span of uh... yeah around 5min on a good day.   The perfectionist in me has had to refrain from cleaning everything up because it's absolutely pointless... it'll all be out again in 20min or so. Oh well, only two more days to go and my mom's been doing a good job of keeping them occupied. 

Ooh ooh guess what?!?! I learned how to drive stick today!! Now before you start feeling bad for whatever unfortunate soul was in the car teaching me (hehe my dad)... I was acutally getting the hang of it pretty quickly. I only killed it the first couple of times which surprised me cuz my coordination usually sucks. My dad wants me to learn how to drive his car cuz it gets a ton better mileage than the van which is perfectly fine with me cuz I like his car better plus! it means I'll be able to drive the mustang whenever we borrow it.  (which i plan on being pretty often hehe)  So yeah that was my excitement for the day and it made up for not being able to go to hpu this weekend.  Auf weidersehen!
