Micheal Jackson

So, for youth group on friday night we had a costume party. And I couldnt figure out what I should be, so I went to the store, and bought a wig, which is an afro. Then I came home and took out my dads tacky tux, and I looked, black hair, white face, and a weird suit, Micheal Jackson. So that is who I am for Halloween, haha.

Crazy Calgary

I love Calgary, honestly, I love everything about it. I love the fact that I can walk out of my house in July and there could very easily be snow on the ground, or walk out in december and its 30 degrees out. I also love driving in Calgary. Its not as scary as some people think, except getting lost...getting lost in Calgary is much different then getting lost in red deer, haha. But the point of this is that today, I was off to play practise, and I had to scrape the window for the first time by myself. And yeah, I know it doesnt sound that hard, but trust me, I wanted to get it perfect! I nearly climbed up on the van in order to get all the frost, then I realized if I just turned defrost on it would get rid of the stuff. A lot of people find that kind of thing to be a hassle but I love it! I think it reminds me when I was little, and I used to want to scrape the windows, and I'd only get like...3 inches on each side and I'd think I did so good haha. Yeah, I love summer because it means no school and camp, but Winter always reminds me of the time I got to spend with my dad. When I think of snow, I think of the times that I built forts with my dad or had snow ball fights with him or going sledding, or skating. I love those memories. Anyways, I should be going.

Love ya'll

Update!

Alright so the whole trying to lose weight thing is so amazing. I havent lost any weight, but I mean...I've only been going at it for less then a week. I havent had a single chip since I started, except for sun chips, but they are better for you then potato chips. I feel so awesome though. Im really noticing that I've had more energy and stuff since I started. And plus...I totally just schooled my dad at basketball...heck yes!

Well....I figured I should post again...

Nothing exciting ever happens to me anymore, haha...so I've been trying to figure out what to post about. Then I figured I'd post about what I've been learning. My Daddy's been teaching me guitar, and its so cool. I like to play both accoustic and electric, Although, I only know 2 chords, haha. But yeah...thats my life. Oh, and the guitars in the pic arent mine, they're just random guitars, lol.

Love ya all!

If I start now....

So I decided, its time to whip myself into shape. I've said this about a trillion times before....but I really want to. Why you might ask? For my own sanity. I hate being careful when I smile cause of this double chin, haha...or looking down and having a big ball hanging off my stomach. The only time I wanna be fat is when Im pregnant. Oh, sorry....Someone in particular doesnt like to think your fat when your pregnant...so the only time I want to be....this size...again is when Im pregnant. Anyways, sorry I couldnt make this longer, but Im going to do push-ups......Or not. Maybe just listen to my music, haha.

ever feel.......?

Ever feel like your losing someone very close to you?
Ever feel like you did something to let everone down, but you dont even know what it is?
Ever feel like you are all alone, with no one around?

For the last month and a bit, these have been my feelings almost all the time. As much as I've been happier since yc, I'm still not happy.

I guess its time...

My family is leaving my church. We are still remaining in the army, just not at the particular church. Now, it may not seem like that big of a deal, but...my family has been in this church for 35 years. And nearly every one of those years, at least one of my family members were involved in at least one thing. There is not a year of my life where I haven't been at the church more than once a week. I'm always there at least 2 or 3 days, not including sunday. But there have been circumstances that have made it difficult to attend. I realized it was time when every time I entered the building, I would be filled with fear, or anger, or maybe a bit of both. I am extremely upset about leaving, but at this point I know that south meadows is the best solution. I need a church that I'm going to get spiritually fed, and because of these circumstances I haven't been fed at glenmore. This is probably one of the hardest, and scariest decisions I have made. I did have the choice to remain at glenmore, but I thought it would be best for my relationship with Jesus to leave. I hesitated posting this for nearly 2 weeks. Im not sure, maybe Im afraid to actually admit that we're leaving, because if I say it, it has to be real, or something like that. I realize that sounds just plain silly, but yeah. So this is my farewell post to glenmore temple. I will miss it so.

Thanksgiving weekend

So for thanksgiving weekend, I went to Cranbrook to spend the weekend with my cousins and Aunt and Uncle. It was really fun. We've been there twice before for thanksgiving, but this was the first time either of my brothers came. My oldest brother, Chad, came and brought his friend John. It was probably the most time I've spent with him in like...2 years. But yeah, it was really awesome. On saturday, we went to the cranbrook mall. And as much as I make fun of the mall, because its so darn small...it was really fun. I went with my Aunt, my mom and my sister. And my sister and I ditched my mom as soon as we got there. Haha. We spent most of our time in Zellars, but we went to a few other stores. Zellars was really fun though. We played with the Halloween costumes, and trust me, when my sister and I get going, you dont want to be around. I ran around a corner, put a wig on, and jumped back out and made a really loud noise, to make her laugh, and she wasn't there anymore, so Im walking around with this wig trying to find her, and this like...40 year old lady was standing there, and she was like..."she went the other way" and she was laughing so hard. We were gonna get Costumes and wear them around the mall...but we didnt really want to spend money just to make fools of ourselves, we can do that for free, haha. The Saturday night we had our dinner, and I think it was the most I've laughed since I got home from camp this summer. Once you get my Uncle, my brother and my cousin Caitlin going, theres no turning back, it was hilarious. The sunday we went to "the church of rock and roll" as they call it. It was really good. then we went to fort Steele, which is a historical park thing. Then we just hung out for the rest of the weekend. it was pretty awesome. here are some pics, I'll try and get some more, but yeah. Let me explain these ones though. Theres one, and you can't really tell who it is, its the picture I accidentally took on my phone of my self, it was in Zellars when I was looking for my sister and my camera turned on so I pulled it out, and it took this really weird, yet funny picture. And the other one is my sister with a halloween bag on her head, also in Zellars.

Love ya'll

Blogger Beta?

So this is the new blogger, blogger beta. I'm still trying to figure it all out so bare with me.

My apologies

I was thinking about my previous post, and I realize, it was a little bit crude. I am very sorry if I offended anybody. And just to clarify, I don't often have conversations like that...I guess it was...a special night, if that makes sense? However, I am sixteen, so I am sorry to say that I do have conversations like that on occasion, haha. But yeah, I'm very sorry for last nights post.

Now for something completely different, I have found a song that I want to dedicate to Xavier. It's called good-bye, and its by Audio adrenaline. The more I listen to it, it makes me think about everytime I've had to say goodbye to that little boy, and every time I will have to say goodbye to him, and it breaks my heart. So here are the Lyrics.

You'll be fine tomorrow
The sun will rise again
It's never easy to say goodbye
You know I'll always love you
You know I always will
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My old friend (my old friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We've reached the end (we've reached the end)
I don't cry for sorrow, I cry with joy
The memories we've made can't be destroyed
You know I won't forget you You know
I never could And when I say I loved you
You know I meant for good You know I'll always love you
Goodbye

"Is Ass cream like Lubricant?" "your nuts were awesome"

Haha, we went to McDonalds tonight, my cousin Caitlin, my sister and I. And I can imagine that some pretty...umm...not very Christian like things went on in McDonalds, but first of all, none of us are married, and second...In McDonalds? Thats disgusting! Anyways, We went to get some ice cream. And Caitlin likes to talk in a texan accent, which by the way, she's very good at, but when she says ice cream, it comes out ass cream. So I was like...Whats ass cream, and my sister was like..."its like Lubricant" haha...and my sister got a sundae, which came with crushed nuts. And they left, and I ate her nuts, and she came back and I was like..."your nuts were awesome" haha. And as we were talking about...nuts...Caity sat on my feet and I was like..OOO OWE that hurts, but it came out in a really weird voice, so it sounded...sexual I guess, haha. Oh gosh...I love being a teenager. I also love being a teenager with Caity and Leash. Anyways, I should get going.

Pictures

so heres some pics from yc, enjoy!

Mosh like theres no tomorrow

And thats exactly what we did this weekend, kind of. We had youth Councils at camp, it was pretty awesome. It was really good to Actually be happy again! At least for the weekend, haha. I got to spend some time with Xavier, and with Raeleen, which made me extremely happy. Yesterday, Raeleen and I were saying good bye, and my mom was like "ok, I'm gonna slowly inch my way over to the door, and by the time I get there, you're gonna be done saying good bye" so she got to the door and we started a new Conversation, haha. And then we both were totally avoiding saying good-bye, and Rae looked over at my mom only to see her taking pictures of us, haha. But yeah, the weekend was awesome. I really got in touch with God again, and it was amazing. Saturday night, I was having a really hard time with some stuff thats going on in Calgary, and so I was crying before the session, then I went into the session and was still crying on and off, but then...they finished the message, and they had some worship, and I was totally worshiping God and Praying and everything, and I laid down, and then I felt Simone lay down beside me with her feet in my face, haha, which meant that my feet were in her face as well. And then, she came and laid like...with our heads together, and we held hands and worshipped God together, and she looked at me, and she had tears streaming down her face, and she was like "he's here, he's in this room. Can you feel him?" meaning God, and it made me cry even more cause for the longest time she's struggled with feeling the holy spirit, and then at music camp she felt him for the first time, and this time as well. And as soon as she said that I got the feeling that God was in the room. And then my legs like, started like...slightly shaking, and it was so amazing, because I knew God was there, and I knew there was a reason. It was so amazing. Anyways, thats it for now, I'll try to post pics when I get them.
