Hey all! I want to share my stories all around, the on;y thing is that if I tell them so many times I will soon forget them all. The good news is that I journaled everyday while in Africa so everything is written down. So what I am doing is typeing it all up to share with the world all my struggles and joys ffrom the entier trip. I hope to have pictures up soon as well. I am trying my best to make a photo journal type website thing, but it could still be another week or two before it's somewhat put together. I have SO much to do! Update letters to my supporters, a 20 minute slideshow presentation to create and show at my churches and youth groups, still the entier journal to get on the computer, all my team members emails into the computer, upload files to our team Yahoo group, call people to say hey, watch missed movies, eat alot of good food I missed, and I guess thats about it, ha

Man I miss people so much from my team. I am sad. Bwah.....

Anyways, if we happen to IM please don't ask me about the trip and for stories yet because it's hard for me to say no, lol, just wait a bit and you can read EVERYTHING and if you don't want to read EVERYTHING then after it's all up I am fully willing to share peices of the trip with anyone

I love and missed you all!

Manm it is so darn hard to say goodbye to people you love, ever if it's only a two month goodbye it is still dang hard.

my knee hurts like the dickens. ugh....it's gunna be bad tomorrow playing football. man oh man. it still looks scary.

I am in a terrible mood. I mean, it is so hard. Maybe I'm just to dramatic and carry things to far. I don't know, and right now I don't care. I'm going to bed soon and tomorrow will be better. Got church in the morning with Pepe and then the church picnic afterwards. That where the will be happening man. I just hope my knee will shutup and be good for me for the day.

Church was good tonight. Some of the ladies laid hands on me and prayed and stuff like that. Afterwards and few of us went out to eat with the Alexander's (Colin's family) at Rosies. That was fun. But leaving was sort of an odd terrible thing. I don't need to go on anymore about this. I'm just an emotional girl I guess... haha what girl isn't?

I still have so much to do before I go its not funny. And i forget things so easily and then the stuff I NEED to get done doesn't get done....ARRR! I just need to sleep, then I will be better....

Night all

so yesterday mom and I couldn't get the permit (LONG story) but we got some other stuff done. Then we all went to the park and Elizabeth came over to hang out there too we played "baseball" with the kids. Fun fun

Then I headed over to Tanya's and hung out a little while and then Nate picked us up and we went over to Colin's, picked him up and then we all drove around for a while then we went to the park. This is where the "real" fun came about. As soon as I got there I jumped on the merry-go-round and then 5 seconds after that wanted to get off but as I was trying to, I tripped. mhhhmmm, it was a bloody mess. My right knee down to the anckle is all strached up and my knee still has dried blood all over it. fun eh? then we played a little while (as I had blood dripping from my knee) and then headed over to Nate's to watch a movie. We watched Frequency (sp) which was actually a pretty neato movie. I bit scary, but good. It had the guy who played "Jesus" in the passion, in it then I headed home and went to bed.

Now I am off to church, my last service here for 8 weeks!!! WAH!

later all!

Ohyeah! I forgot to talk about Eryn's shindig! So we got there, ate, talked, packed into Colin's work truck and headed to Blockbuster where they picked out "Along came Polly" and then we picked up Catch Phrase form Nate's parents house, then went back to Eryn's, played Catch Phrase, and watched to movie and went home.

The movie was SO aweful!!! I wish I hadn't have watched it, or done something to help it not to have even been chosen, ugh. Anyways... I am going to screen my movies before watching them from now on...

anyways, everything else was a blast, so over all it was a pretty grand night!

So, lets see. What did I do yesterday? Oh yeah! I cleaned up my room some more, got some stuff for my trip figured out, and then around 5:30 I went over to the LLC open house thing, and said Hi and Bye to people, then I went over to _tag and saw a whole bunch of other people I said Hi and bye to lol The worship there is so amazing man!!

Today mom and I went shopping and I got a WHOLE bunch of stuff I really needed! Its all good! yay God! Thank you for providing for me!!! Yahoo! I got some really awesome clothes and pretty good deals. Some stuff I wouldn't have paid so much for, but it this time of need, I figured that it was the best thing to do....

Anyways, I think I am getting my permit tomorrow morning!!! YAYHOO!! I took the test today and got 5 out of 26 wrong, but oh well, it was all good anyways, and I passed which was a great thing Tanya and Mandy and the family were down there too getting Mandy's permit, hehe, it was fun bumping into them

I'm off to bed, so night All!

So about yesterday.

I cleaned up my room most of the day, wahoo. lol

Then Colin picked Robby and NIkki and I up for the kid's youth group and our Ice Cream Social.

The Ice Social was fun. We TPed the kids coming up a grade, that was funny:) Then that sparked an idea. Ah... who's house sould we TP? hehehehe

But we couldn't think of anyone so we just played around at Nates house and Colin, Tiff and I went to colin's house to pick up his car (he was in his moms) then on our way back, coming over a blind hill there were to deer. He swerve right between the two but sadly missed ones head. anyways you get the picture. He went back and drug it off the road but it was still half alive so he came bak to his car and got a claw hammer...and well the rest is history....

It was an off night for me too. Alot was going through my head and it got very overwhelming. Britt drove me over to VIllage Inn (where my mom was for a meeting) around 11:45 and mom and another lady were just talking away and banished me to another table So I sat there a while staring at random things reading paper I've thrown in my bag and all that fun kinda stuff. Then village inn closed at 12 but they werent done talking so they went and sat in the other lasies car and I therefore was stuck in our van. I just sorta cried a little over all the stuff in my head and then listened to old time radio hehe, but then I fell asleep. And woke up about 1:30 and mom was on her way back to our car and we drove home only to get there and in bed at 2. Man what a night....

Tonight Eryn is having a BBQ at her place and I think I'm going to go. Eryn's quite the goof and goofy people are my friends lol. Tanya will pick me up, so I hope the parents will be okay with it....

I found out the most terrible news EVER yesterday to (part of my weird mood) COlorado changed the drivers liscens (sp i know) age to 18!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! I will still have to pawn for rides everywhere for 3 more years!!!!!! ARRRRRRR!!!!!! I am so sad. I'm not going to think about it anymore due to the fact I start yelling when I do think about it.... I;m so weird.

I don't think I said this, lol, but some night (I can't remeber) this week I went to see Shrek 2. ARRR!!!!! I hated it! It was sooooooo terrible!!! I was sooo mad.

But anyways.......

I need to get dressed for the day, so later ya'll!
