Prom Picture

seniors at alternative prom! Aren't we amazing?! Ryan looks kind of weird and so does Opie. But we still all look really cool!

Ungrateful

I have been ungrateful to several people. I was going through my old blog and copying all the posts into a word document, along with the comments that everyone made. I realized that I had been pretty thankless towards certain people, and maybe even heartless in forgetting what they have said in their kindness, when having a fight later on.

So there are some people that I want to thank--I thought of doing it in person, but then decided that these people deserve public praise, because that is something we don't often do for others, I wanted to do it in a public place so that they would get all that they deserve.

Sarah John-
I love you so much. You have been an encouragement to me always. When ever I am feeling down on myself, you are always there to remind me that I am loved and people care about me. You have been a consistent willing shoulder for me to cry on. Do you remember telling me that you would have ice for me when I was willing to be comforted? You are so sweet and kind, and loving. Anyone who doesn't like you, obviously doesn't know you, and if they know you and still don't like you, it is only because they are jealous of you. Because they see in you traits that they wish they had themselves.

Ryan Farrell-
We have had our differences, but you are still one of the most amazing people I know. You are an inspiration in your walk with Christ, and you have often helped me to realize that when I am struggling with things it is only because I have not handed them over to the Lord. Kelli is very lucky to have you, you are really sweet and caring. Except when you are mad. Then you can be cutting with your words, but even then there is always a good heart behind them, one that seeks correction for those you are speaking with and a heart of loving rebuking. Does that make sense? Words don't always come out the best, but I know you are always just trying to show me the right way.

Lanorea-
You amaze me. always praying for everything. I wish you had found my new blog and continued to comment, I miss hearing from you. YOu were a light in the dark with sweet encouraging words, and loving advice.

I love you all.


Trok lom,

OH MY GOSH GUESS WHAT????!

THE COSTA RICA TRIP HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN APPROVED! BY ZMAN AND SHORT TERM MISSIONS!

WE ARE GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so assuming that we are leaving December 26, that gives us (in my bad math) 174 days until we leave!

I AM SO EXCITED!

I'm BAAAACK!

From the black hills of SOUTH DAKOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no one ever go there. EVER. It was beautiful and all, and Mount Rushmore was pretty cool. I guess I am just too much of a city girl. South Dakota does not have cities. I can hardly even think to count Rapid City as a full blown city. This is not to be mean to anyone who lives in South Dakota, I know, you might like the country and the endless grass and hills.... I just don't.

I saw a lot of Amish people there. I'm not sure why, I saw this big 15 passenger van of Amish people, which I don't understand. Amish can't drive. They don't own cars. Anyway, that was just very confusing for me. I mean, seriously.

I have nothing important to say. I am sooo sure that you all missed me and my incredibly insightful updates. HA! I think not...

I just wanted to try this and see if it works. If it does, and it looks okay, that means, I won't have to always ask sarah for help when posting pictures!!

anyway this is an old crappy picture that I don't like at all, so that is why I don't care taht it is going up. I can not stand my braces and how my teeth are weird... I can't stand any pictures with my braces since I got them off. lol
