I have just completed what i would consider a wonderous day. Firstly its Wednesday and i just like Wednesdays: I can feel accomplished for half of a week completed and anticipate the weekend that is only two days away. Senior year has been great so far. I love my classes, and actually only have three classes the require work, and the other two are dance (which is work ofcourse but i dont mind it) and then im a TA for Mr Adams. Not a bad schedule at all. Today Adrienne, myself, and our new friend from Texas went to Remmington Grill for lunch. Overall we decided it was an A experience... the food was great, it wasnt too crowded, and they played country music. After our lunch escapade I decided to spend the rest of my day curled up with a book. Surprisingly i havent been able to do that with a book of my choice for about a year becuase the school books required my time and therefore took priority. I miss reading greatly... I have always been a reader and every summer up until last year i would tear through mountains of books but this summer i only had time enough to read Poisonwood Bible which fortunately wasnt too bad for a school book. Well a few days ago i started reading the Da Vinci Code, a little late i know. Although oringinally i was quite hesitant becuase of the religious implication of the book. I will admit now that i was completely wrong and i wished i would have read the book sooner. The plot captivated me and i couldnt put it down. His writing style is symplistic although i did enjoy the multiple points of view. I think its impossible now to read a book without completely analyzing it, but thats okay becuase i did figure out most of the end before it was revealed... I was quite proud of myself. Next i may try Angels and Demons, or one of his other books... anyone read them?

I like working at CVS, i really do. Granted sometimes the work is monotonous and boring, but thats beside the point. The other day i was trained in photo, as a part of my training i was allowed to have fun with an entire roll of film, i found some interesting items and scenes to take pictures of. One of my favorite things about working is the costumers. Most of them are truly nice people, or atleast act like it. The other day a man and his son were leaving and i responded with my automatically cheery "Have a great day!" and the man told his little boy to say bye to the pretty lady in which the child remarked "bye pretty lady!". It was genuinly sweet. That and the surprise visits from my friends always make my days.
The days left of school are have decresed to a number almost small enough to count on both hands. Summer could not be any closer, although the sun seems to think that it constantly needs to remind us of the hot days that are soon to come. I had an interesting encounter with one of my friends today. Actually it was rather insulting. She negatively commented on my dress (just a cute spring one that i found in my closet) and then proceeded to inform me that i was white and needed a tan. Lol now how do you respond to that? "Well thank you for your imput, ill be sure to step outside for a few minutes today and next time i pick out an outfit ill consider what you may think of it..." goodness, sometimes girls are just catty.

Tomorrow around three i will be arriving in Durango, Colorado where the high will be 37 degrees which is tantamount to Antartica for a native arizonian like myself. I packed about every winter clothing item that i own, so hopefully i will not die of frostbite. At the base of the mountain im skiing on is 67 inches of snow. I wonder if its possible to become engulfed in snow?
Speaking of snow, did anyone see the mountains today? The snow on them was beautiful. It made me want to celebrate. All of the rain yesterday was such a blessing. My neighborhood now has about 5 lakes becuase of it.
This spring break is going to be awesome, i get to go to Colorado for four days, and then a week later im headed to NYC with KDC. I am so excited. I cant wait. Although im kind of scared becuase i have never been on a plane before. Its sure going to be a lot of firsts, but i like new things so it should be good.
Hope everyone has an awesome week!

So this evening was fun
I am so proud of myself that i started on my research paper, because i usually procrastinate on big projects like this, but if i do a little bit each night i should have the rough draft done by Monday.
Brittany came over for a little bit and we hung out and talked. If it snows by February 18th [when we have the three day weekend] then our group is taking a snow trip. We have it pretty much planned, hopefully the weather will cooperate ;-)
My daddy took me to buy some new foundation and on the way back something happened to the radio station that we were listening to [air 1] and the song sounded really weird almost as if Satan had taken over the song. Ironically its a Christian radio station so it was kind of scary. Although reenacting it made it worth the scare.
Then we went to the park and played some Frisbee. Haha i think Nick's obsession with the game has rubbed off on me. Ill admit its pretty fun. Especially now that i can throw and catch the Frisbee.
Signing up for classes next year makes me excited, yet to be honest im pretty scared about it too. Not really about being a senior, just all of the changes that will come. Along with the new school year i will be getting a stepdad, and moving in fulltime with my dad. My mom, George, and my brother will be moving to Goodyear. Im really sad that my brother wont be going to Basha and that i wont be living in the same house as him next year. My mom too, im going to miss her. Its so crazy, i dont know if im ready for my life to be turned upside down again. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil 4:13. I will have to remember that.

| Dont worry, Be happy |
[31 Jan 2006|03:51pm] |
Isn’t it funny that everyone seems to notice when you are happy?
You would think (or at least I would) that it would be the other way around. Happy being the norm and sadness gaining notice.
Today and yesterday I was happy and smiling, and a few people took notice and commented on my happiness and threw me a questioning look. Do we all have to have a reason to be happy? Or can one just appreciate life and all it brings. I am actually quite blessed by God. I can live in good health and breath air every moment. When im hungry I can eat, I have a nice comfortable bed to sleep on and a roof over my head. In my closet I have quite a selection of clothes and some money in my wallet. That is much more than some people could ever hope for. God, who created the world, bigger and my awesome than I could ever imagine, loves me. Psalm 37:23 says that He delights in every detail of my life. Freedoms in this country allow me to own a Bible and legally speak of God any time I want to. I have a split yet loving family, and friends that mean the world to me. Life is great. Yeah troubles come, and quite often things don’t go the way that I want them to, but why worry. God is in control and either causes or allows all things to happen, and it’s not about me. That is my new philosophy that I am going to try and live by. Knowing that I am on this earth to give glory to God by loving and serving Him and people, and only by that will I gain true happiness.

You know the saying what goes around comes around?
Never before did i know that there is such truth to that saying.
I didnt get a chance to put myself in the other persons shoes, instead i was forced to put my own on and start walking down their path.
It was wierd, awkward. Not the silent conversational awkwardness, i just felt slightly out of place. Kind of like a third wheel. I guess its my turn to see how it feels... becuase i have definitely done that to someone, actually this person same person.
Change is inevitable and always seems to come just when things are getting good. Although afterwards i look back and realize how much better it is now. I have learned much through everything though.
For example, the divorce of my parents. It was a very hard thing, still is. But through it i gained a new understanding, and i think i have become a much more sympathetic person from it. during my sad time, i guess you could call it depression but only in the most minumal sense of the word, I contemplated many thoughts , good and bad, like why people might drink when their sad convinced it would make everything better even if it would only be temporary. Thankfully i never put any of my thoughts into action.
Winter Camp is this weekend, and although i was apathetic about it at the begining, i am now looking forward to it. I need to escape for a bit, reorganize something, set my priorities straight, and get things right with God.

you can learn something from everybody you meet
and there is atleast one new thing you can learn each day.
I like that.
Today was a good day and the fact that its Friday makes everything better.
In the morning i got a good laugh from Sarah and Echo. I understood most of the new lesson in physics which is an accomplishment. For spanish we had a cute sub and a bunch of busy work that was a lot easier than expected. At lunch i got my class rank, they told me that i am ranked 7th out of 519. That makes me pretty excited. In spanish i was going through the radio stations on my mp3 player and Stand by Me was on the oldies station and has been playing in my head ever since. Lol i decided that i would sing it for everyone else to hear too since no one would give me another song to think of hehe.
George and my mom bought me a hot pink beta fish. lol hes kind of a loner bully but i like him! He is pretty sweet. He likes to hide behind the pump but then comes out and puffs up his fins and trys to act all tough. Its cute. I am trying to think of a name for him... George thinks i need to name him a sissy name becuase he is pink. Haha im kind of leaning towards Frank ( with the long "a" making it french sounding). hmm i want something cool though. Any suggestions?

I like to act like everything is okay
and plaster on that smile, and hold back the quiver from my voice
But then when im ready to talk, it seems as though no one is there to listen.
They are all busy with their own cares
and I wouldnt want to be a burden
So i cry alone.

Its sad knowing that just when things get good they will soon be changing.
Problem number one, my moms lease will be up in a few months, that means that her and George will be getting married shortly after that. They havent set a date yet, but i know it will be sometime in the next six months. That means i will have to choose: a) live with my mom and George in west phoenix, attend a school brand new to me and leave the people i will have left at basha. Plus so many more things having to do with school and friends. or choice b) stay with my dad here, go to basha, and visit my mom every other weekend. Its so hard because ive just begun to get closer with my brother and he wants to stay with my mom i think. I wouldnt want to leave him, or him to leave me. So soon my nice ruitine of going back and forth will soon be over and my life will be completely turned upsidedown once again.
Problem number two, i know the right thing to do. Why do i have to like the wrong choice so much? and every moment spent together just makes it that much worse. My only consolation is future blessing which i am so excited for. :D I am so thankful that i am not going through this alone.
Problem number three, friends. Things are going so well right now. Every night i can be, im with them. Hah its like we are all family. graduation seems to come up alot lately. I dont know what im going to do without them next year. Adrienne, Brittany, Janna, and i are going to have to stick together. :'(
I wish i could freeze that moment in time, and have it stay like that forever.
