It's Been A While I Know

     I have an apology to make to all my followers. I know it has been a very long time since I blogged. I know some of you out there may be like most of my teachers, accepting no excuses but for those of you that would accept my excuse I think I might have a pretty good one. My junior year has been crazy so far. Crazy but wonderful. Other than school and all my classes I have been busy with my school magazine. I am graphics editor but I also write and design and take pictures. The news season for my church's youth group has also started with the new school year. I love youth and I'm happy to be back in it. I also really like my new small group now that I have moved up to the Junior and Senior girls group. I have also started taking violin lessons from a new teacher who is much more strict. Lastly and most of all I have made my schools fall musical. Nothing huge but I made it into the chorus. It is so much fun but it takes a lot of commitnment. I have rehersal almost every night until at least six.
     As for those little moments of freedom I have recieved I have discoverd some new things I would really like to share. First off have any of you heard of a website called tumblr? I love it :) tumblr.com. Secondly I have been reading... a lot. If you are a fan of the Percy Jackson serires you should check out the Cane Chronicles and the Heros of Olympus series both also by Rick Riordan and jsut fyi the second book of the Heros of Olympus sereis: Son of Neptune comes out TOMORROW AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! I also just finished the 4th book in the Kingdom Keepers serires this weeked, and I also highly recommend that book.
     I am sorry this is kind of a boring post, its mostly a recap of whats been up. Hopefully I'll be able to post more soon. But before I end this post I would like to tell you one thing. Remember my boyfriend Drew? I talked about him quite a bit. Well last Tuesday was me and Drew's one year anniversary :)

God Bless

I'm Back From Europe!

     Well I'm finally back from Europe! I got back Sunday night at about 11:40 PM. The trip was great! We had a wonderful tour guide who had a song for almost every situation. We got to stay in hotels up on mountains. We got to attempt yodeling and sang the soundtrack of The Sound of Music on a big mountain in Germany. And we even got to visit Neuschwanstein AKA Cinderellas castle! It was tons of fun :)

This was a T-shirt I found in a gift shop and I thought it was funny

You could buy Swiss air

Answer: AUSTRIA!

     I'm also going to Germany and Switzerland but I didn't have an awesome musical number for those :) About a year ago my orchestra teacher let anyone who wanted to (that was in the orchestra) sign up to go on a trip to Europe during the summer of 2011. Well the summer of 2011 is now here and I leave tomorrow! I'm very excited but a tad nervous. I've  ridden on planes many many times but I still don't like them. They freak me out. Plus I don't like long plane rides. I don't sleep well in the up-right position, but it will be worth it! I promise to post pics when I return. I will be gone for ten so I'm sorry I will not be able to post during those ten days but I promise to post when I return and the jet lag has subsided.
     In other exciting news (well exciting for me, you probably don't care.) I got a job yesterday! I am now going to be an employee at a golf course in my town. I get to work in the sun and wash carts and pick up golf balls and re-fill water coolers but its still a job and I'm happy to do it :) Well not much else to say other than that, so I'll metaphorically see you in ten days! :)

Slip and Sliding Fourth of July!

     For the fourth of July me and Drew and my parents went to my aunt and uncles house to celebrate with my family. After we ate my uncle got out the slip and slide. Yes, the slip and slide. But it wasn't one of those store bought slip and slides, it was homemade. My uncle got out this big tarp and a sprinkler and some dish soap and me and my cousins got to slipping and sliding. It was so much fun!

       If you have any spare tarp and dish soap I highly recommend this! But warning you will be sore the next day. I woke up this morning with really sore abs and arms and a giant bruise on my knee, but it was worth it!

God Bless
