Please No More Letters

Over the past 2 days I have gotten 4 letters from colleges that I didn't even know existed. I have told my self to be a child for as long as possible but I guess this is a wake up call telling me that I don't have much more time. I've also never thought about college so my reaction to these letters was to throw them on the ground and get upset that colleges "want me at their school" Such a lie by the way, nobody wants me at their school, I'm a horrible student. School is not my thing and I'm  not going to rush it but I admit, I did send the colleges their reply back for more information letters. Lets just hope I can still be a child even with this wake up call.

Winter Camp!

Finally Winter Camp came. I had been waiting all year for it to come, I've been counting down the days, it's really all I've been able to think about. It finally came, and I must say it was an amazing experience, every part of me loved it and will never forget it. I just love it so much up there!

This weekend was amazing. Almost all of my youth group went, I wish everyone did, but it was still amazing. We had a blast or at least I did. We played a bunch of games, did crafts, ate food, and all that amazing camp stuff. Chapel this weekend was amazing! The band; I loved them! The speaker from last year was actually the lead singer in the bad this year. Stories In Braille, go check them out they were a great group of guys. Jason, our speaker who actually works at the camp so we know him, talked about Biblical Justice. It was amazing.

I learned so much from this weekend, spent time with the people I love most, and grew closer to God. It really can't get any better than that. I just hope and pray for everyone that went up that we don't forget about the amazing experiences we had, the amazing things we felt, and the amazing things we learned. I pray that we can continue to remember them, show them, and put into action everything we got out of this.


It was an altogether amazing weekend that I know I will never forget, and I hope nobody else does either. I hope I really did actually get a lot out of it because I think I did. And most importantly it was such a blessing to have this opportunity to get away from my regular schedule, go up to the mountains (My Fav place by the way), be with people I know and love and people that I don't know but still love, grow closer to God, and just learn and worship him. AMAZING!

I love camp so much and can't get over how amazing it is!

Someone Take Me Somewhere

Someone please take me somewhere.
Somewhere where I can see every star, and every planet
Somewhere where the sky is clear and the air is SUPER clean
Somewhere where I can just sit and watch this amazing earth revolve around the universe God created
Somewhere where I can read a book and relax by the fire
Someone take me somewhere where I can look down on the hustle and bustle of a big city
Take me to some random ghost town and just sit, talk, and hang out with me
Someone take me on a road trip to anywhere, any random not predetermined destination, lets jut get in the car and drive
Just please please please get me out of here.

(Alright that was my little "I'm desperate to go leave somewhere" rant)

Fun During Finals?

So it's finals week for me, and it's been very stressful. I've been very busy studying, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I still have the same grades in my classes, but if they did change, they went down. Just great right? Well, I've been dreading this week since school ended last year. Anyway, we all know what finals week is like so really I don't have to explain anymore.

Well out of all this negative, there has to be a positive right? Welp you're right! I got to go to youth group (we probably should have been studying but who does that?). It was an AMAZING night, all we did was worship, our pastor spoke for like 10 min, and then we had a giant (and I must say pretty epic) Nerf war! I mean to be able to go to youth, my favorite place in the world, AND to have a Nerf war, how much better could it get?! To go to youth group by its self is amazing, and just from that to be able to get my mind off of school is all I could ever want. Then to have a Nerf war, which I'm pretty sure helped get a lot of my kept in anger (from finals week) out is just the most amazing thing ever!

If I haven't said this a billion times before, I LOVE MY YOUTH GROUP!!!

When My Weekend Consists Of This I Am Content

Sorry for that obnoxiously long cliff hanger title I gave you. Anyway, my entire 3 day weekend consisted of 2 things; Football and hanging out with my youth group. Ah those are the 2 best things I could ever ask for. I am very ashamed and disappointed that Green Bay lost. Come on Pack what were you doing out there! But the rest of the weekend defiantly made up for that.



Now, I spent over half of my weekend with my youth group, which to me is the best thing in the world. There is nothing I would rather be doing than hanging out with my youth group. Don't get me wrong, there are things I should be doing rather than hanging out with them *cough cough studding for the 6 billion finals I have this week cough*  But I would much rather be with them instead.

The time with them consisted of church, lunch, a night game of grounders (So fun FYI!), and bike rides. Church this Sunday was amazing because this time we weren't in a class room, we were actually out side, soaking in the beautiful sun that God created. Lunch consisted of a lovely picnic with us deciding to come back later that night to play a night game. Around 8 we met at the park and played tag and grounders until about 10. Then Monday, we all went on a bike ride! How great is that?

We talk about this every time we are together, we talk about how we love spending so much time together. I mean there honestly aren't a lot of youth groups that would want to spend this much time together. We love love love spending time together! We just love each other that much, enough to want to spend so much time together! Words can't even describe how much we love each other, and how much I love them! They're just so amazing!

When my weekend consists of spending over half the weekend with my youth group, that keeps me happy.

I'm A Nerd

I'm a nerd, lets face it, I am very nerdy. Now I'm not a smart nerd, lets just clear that up ahead of time; I am not smart. I am nerdy in other ways though. I try to use big words (Doesn't always work out but its worth a shot.), I like Star Wars, I read (children's books but they're still books), I believe at one point in your life you have to crack at least one good math and science joke. With all those great things being said though, the one thing I believe that really makes someone a nerd, smart or not, you HAVE TO  know THE ENTIRE Big Bang Theory theme song both the TV and extended version one. I my friends, reached that goal, at least 2 years ago. Please, crown me queen of the nerds!


I only gave you the TV version because I want you to figure out the lyrics and the extended version by yourself, its funner that way!

Ready To Leave

Oh my goodness, I am so ready to get out of here! I just want to leave and go to some mountain or beach or I don't even care as long as I'm gone, away from most people, and can have the comfort of relaxation. These past few months have been very stressful both mentally and emotionally. Problems with myself and friendships, problems with my school work, and problems with the way I've been treating people. I'm just so ready to leave, be alone, and sort out my thoughts. I want out, and I want out now!

New Visits, New year.

Well, I have some great news other than the fact that its a new year! My good friend Abby came to visit us after moving all the way across the country. This was the first time we had seen her since she left, and I missed her so much. A lot of people have come in and out of my life in the past year, but Abby and my youth pastor Stephen were what I call, "The Big 2" meaning they were really, 2 of the most important people in my life that left (or at least moved). It was really great because Stephen came a few weeks ago and then Abby comes a few weeks later. Ah it was just perfect.

Abby is one of those people in my life that have literally been there since I was born, and I thank God everyday for blessing me with so many of those people. Abby really does mean a lot to me, like I said before, she's been with me since day 1. She's been right there by my side waiting, helping, and caring. She's the type of person that just being around makes you happy. She's encouraged me with my journey in my Faith. Before we got Stephen as a pastor, Abby was actually the youth pastor, and encouraged me to start going back to church, and I do give her a lot of that credit. I know that I can go to Abby for anything even though she is so far away, I know she will always be there willing to help me when I need it. She is truly an amazing person that can light up anyone's day, and I honestly thank God everyday for blessing me with her.


I've been so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people (such as Abby) that I've become encouraged to make people happy. I guess you could call that a resolution? I want to help make people happy. I want to show people my love, Christ's love, and love in general. I'm so excited for this new year, it'll be hard just like all the other years, but his year is a little different. I've realized how blessed I am, I've realized how many amazing people I have in my life that truly do love and care about me, and I've realized that my relationship with Christ is the most important thing. I will get through this year, and I will truly miss you Abby!
