One more!!

Only one more Geometry class! Score!! (this post only makes since if you read my previous one) lol.

Ready for the weekend!

I am soooo ready for the weekend! I'm going to spend Saturday in Shreveport. I get to see my grand & great-grand parents, along with my aunt and baby cousin. I'm going to be bringing a couple of my friends along and we're going to hang out at the Boardwalk afterwards. I'm looking forward to it. I've only gotta make it through two more Geometry classes and I'll be there LOL. Yeah, i hate Geometry. Everyone in the class doesn't get it (except for Paul the Math Wiz LOL), and i get so bored in there i nearly fall asleep every day...i feel bad that i do, but i've just bout tried everything to stay awake- from caffeine mints to pinching myself. lol. Two days ago everybody in the class fell asleep (including me)...i was surprised she didn't get on to us. I know she saw us cuz there's only 5 of us in there lol.

A WONDERFUL Birthday! :)

Wow! I had a GREAT Birthday! I can’t think of anything that could have made it better.
I got my sister to curl my hair for me and I wore a pretty tiara to school (picture of it up top). I got a whole lotta complements on my hair and all throughout the day people kept telling me “happy birthday!”. I had a couple people text me this morning to say happy birthday, and I even had someone call and leave me a “happy birthday” message on my cell phone. It was the sweetest thing. I was smiling all day :)
During my lunch period my dad came up to the school and brought a cookie cake and cupcakes for me and my friends.

It was actually really cool how it worked out, because a few weeks before (and up to my birthday), the one thing I really wanted to happen on my birthday was for someone to either come up to the school and eat with me or to take me somewhere to eat. I decided not to tell anyone b/c I didn’t want anyone to do it just b/c they knew I wanted it…if they did it, i wanted it to be completely something they thought of themselves.
When my dad came up to the school I was like, “awesome!...I got the whole ‘someone coming to eat with me’ part”.

Then after school my friend, Clay, took me to eat at Applebee's for my birthday present (how awesome is that!?! lol)…that was the whole “someone taking me somewhere to eat” part (so it just so happened I got both someone coming to eat with me, and having someone take me to eat :). It was so neat because Clay had no clue I wanted someone to do that. He told Kristi that he didn’t know what to get me for my birthday b/c (according to Kristi) “the scrapbook I made him was the perfect gift to give him and he couldn’t think of anything special enough to top it”. But his decision to take me to eat was the perfect thing. And it was really special because it was something he came up with himself, not knowing I had wanted that for a while.

I know I will remember this birthday! It was truly enjoyable!

BIG thank you to all of you who either called, texted, or told me "happy birthday!" in person (or left it on my blog)...you are part of what made my B-day so special :)

Root canal, flowers, and a birthday tomorrow :)

Yesterday i went and had some work done on my teeth. I was praying that it wouldn't end with me having to get a root canal, but unfortunately it did. They started it but were unable to finish because of a "curve" (whatever that is), and if they tried to precede with the root canal they ran the risk of having an instrument break in there and them not be able to get it out *yikes!!*. Now they are sending me to a specialist in Longview that only does root canals and should have me fixed up in less than an hour... bad part is that i have to wait two weeks before i go.. :/

After my apt yesterday was over i was in so much pain it was CRAZY! But I had people praying for me so that helped a lot (thank you to those who did!!)...what also helped make things better is that my friend, Brady, stopped by my house and brought me a bouquet of white flowers. :) They're so pretty and they made my evening. It was really sweet of him to think of me and bring them by...I love them!! I have them in a vase on my desk and i like to just look at them b/c they're so pretty!

(The lighting made them look a lil yellow...they're white though- same flowers in the picture at the top of my post).

Aren't they beautiful? :) ...i really like them

__________________________________________

Tomorrow is my Birthday and I'm really excited. I'm going to get my sister to curl my hair and I'm going to wear the tiara that my friend, Mrs. Teresa gave me several years ago. It's beautiful and I'm really excited to wear it...it makes me feel like a Princess -which i am because i am a daughter of the King of Kings!! :) I sorta hesitated before deciding to wear it tomorrow b/c i'm a lil afraid of people mistaking it and thinking i'm doing it b/c i'm "stuck-up"...I guess if they do, though, it's their problem lol.

P.S.~ I'm sorry i haven't been as faithful in my posting something every day..sometimes life gets in the way ...or homework for that matter lol. Which reminds me, i completely forgot my Biology book in my locker after school today *ooopps!*...that means I'm gonna have to get to school early tomorrow and scramble to get my Bio homework done. Fun-Fun!! lol. ..hopefully i'll be able to get it done sometime before 3rd period. We'll see!! lol

yay!!

Score!! Clay really liked his scrapbook...which made me happy because i spent a whole week working on it. lol. When he saw it he gave me a big hug and said "This is prolly my favorite gift out of all of them" :)

*That made me happy* :)




Topic change:

I only have a few more classes before i get to leave for my dentist apt. *yipp-yipp*. I'm glad that i get to leave school early, but am not exactly looking forward to having my teeth drilled on either lol...o well, it's better than sitting through the History class i would be in during that time...i'm not kidding either!!!

closing out the day

Well, the weekend is just about over *bummer*. Tomorrow i have school and a Dentist appointment *another bummer* (but i'll be happy to get this tooth that's been giving me problems taken care of...so, maybe it's not such a bummer after all. lol.)

My day ended very well. I completely finished Clay's scrapbook and will give it to him tomorrow. *SCORE!!*

Another plus to my day is that my wonderful Friend, Mrs. Teresa called an explained something to me that had confused and bothered me a few days ago (same subject i was talking about in my post about "Healing"). I felt a lot better after hearing what she had to say about it. So, thank you, Mrs. Teresa! :) I love you!!

needing to vent...

I'm sitting here at home spending my Sunday afternoon relaxing...alone. Once again it's just us kids at home (mom is gone studying with her college group and dad is working). Honestly, sometimes I get really frustrated because I feel like my parents are ALWAYS gone. I know they have to be- mom has her TONS of schoolwork to do, and dad has to work like crazy just to make ends meet, but still i hate the fact they both have to be busy and gone the majority of the time. It'll get better once my mom finishes school...she'll be making money so hopefully my dad will be able to slow down a little. I have no idea what her work schedule is going to be like, so i don't know if i'll actually see her more or not. I guess we'll see when she starts working in about 14 months.

I'd describe myself as a pretty independent person who enjoys her alone time, but too much of it isn't something i'm crazy about. I guess that's why my parents' being gone so much has really started to wear on me. Most of the time i'm pretty ok and cool with it, but then I have days like today where it kinda bums me out a lil bit. I think part of what gets me is that i truly feel like part of my teen life is being spent without them here (i mean, come on, my sixteenth birthday is going to come and go and my mom is still going to be in school). Like i said, most of the time i'm pretty ok with how things are having to be right now (despite the fact that it's been a REALLY difficult change to get used to), but when i stop and think about it, it makes me a little sad...
But being able to talk about it on my blog and share how i feel about all that's happening has helped. ...guess i just needed to "vent" for a few minutes.

just chillin'

I didn't have any homework this weekend *whoot-whoot!!* so i get to thoroughly enjoy it by just hanging out and not doing much. Last night i went to a football game with a friend, this morning did a little house cleaning, and then babysat for like 3 hours. So, really i've has a pretty laid back weekend so far. I'm planning on spending the rest of my evening finishing up the scrapbook i made for my friend, Clay. Some of his really good friends are graduating this year so i wanted to get some pictures of them and pics from his 16th B-day party, and put them together in a book that he could have. It's turning out really well- I'm proud of it :) Hope he likes it...we'll find out on Monday ;)

in deep thought...

Ok, right now I've gotta admit that I am a frustrated and a little perturbed. Something that was said in Bible class REALLY didn't sit well with me. It was on the subject of "healing". I respect my teacher and to the best of my memory haven't ever disagreed with something he's taught me but this seemed to make me almost nauseated.
I just need to pray for revelation right now because I'm really confused and am not exactly sure what to think or believe.


But, on a better note: MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 6 DAYS!! :)

An Unexpected Blessing :)

Some very thoughtful person decided to bless me and pay for my Student Council t-shirt. This was very unexpected, and really blessed my heart. I have no idea who paid for it, but I really want them to know that I think that what they did was really kind, and I'm very grateful to them for it.
What they didn't know was that I had a few rather large expenses come up that had to be paid this week, and i was sorta stressing bout gettin' the money for my shirt turned in. But God was faithful (as always) and provided...through an unexpected blessing :)
