Senior Banquet

 The day Keelie and I got back from the beach, was senior banquet.we got to her hair dressers around one-ish and then we went to get our hair done.(LOTS OF HAIR SPRAY!!!) Then once we were ready we went to ferrum college for the banquet. The room looked great,especially with the white seat covers! and the candles and roses..   Some of the seniors read their wills which all were funny yet heart felt. Mr. Miller’s song was so awesome. One of the best parts of the night.. We all had a good laugh.. And of course the seniors pictures! of them from little kids to now.. It was cool to get a glimpse into there childhood.   Then afterwards all the cameras went crazy! So many pictures I think i was in about 25 and I’m not even a senior!!  When finally all the pictures were over we (Shannon, Jenna,Keelie, Marie and I) all went out to Applebee’s. good times. More pictures were taken there of course. 

myrtle beach

 Well last week keelie and I , along with her mom and Chancey, went to myrtle beach. I had alot of fun.  On the car ride down there we slept most of the way. It only rained a little bit but the days it did rain we thought that it was a good excuse to go shopping!! Keelie got her ears pierced at one of the malls we went to, and i got a second one. We also went to ,I think it was called Singing in the Sun.. maybe, but it was a southern gospel concert that went on for a few days. We saw the Browns, the Perrys, Brian Free and Assurance, and many others.. We had loads of fun. We got pictures with a lot of the people as well. One day we went to the beach and werein the ocean for a while, and of coarse i got sunburned!!  Thank You keelie for taking me!!! I had a lot  of fun!! 

Books

 I have been reading this series by Lori Copeland called “Men of The Saddle”. I not only love the way she writes but the story really draws you in. I find that I can just spend hours upon hours reading these books. It is set in around 1860′s with ”cowboys” living out west and it tells of all the hardships of living during that time; about the war and the families left to fend for themselves afterwards.They are really funny and are very enjoyable to read. I often find myself laughing and crying out loud!All the books in the series( well so far) are also love stories. They are also a Christian series. It shows how God can work in ones life even when you think there’s nothing left to work with. It relates most everything to Scripture and makes you think about your spiritual life as well. If you ever get a chance to read this series, I’m sure you will enjoy them.

beach

Well in two weeks I’m going to the beach with my friend Keelie and her mom and her mom’s fiance. That should be soooo fun.  I can’t wait. She said were going to concerts and what not but I’m really looking forward to it. And then the day we get back is our senior banquet. Keelie has already made hair appointments and we both have our dresses so that should be fun as well. so i just have to make it through one more week.. I think I can handle that..!!

Spiritual Beliefs=happiness?

 The University of British Columbia asked 315 children through ages 9-12  to take a test to see if their spiritual beliefs had anything to do with their overall happiness. The University asked them questions like how often they pray/meditate or if they feel like their is a higher being. The results were astounding, in the 315 kids 6.5-16.5% of them, their happiness was credited to their spiritual beliefs.  So yes spiritual beliefs do have an effect on the way you live , act and feel.  wow can you imagine how much happier the world would be if we all believed in God?! How would the world change. Everything would be so different.

fun days

 Well yesterday keelie got her senior pictures taken. And then we all went out to eat at the Hub. I had a hamburger YUMMY. Thanks keelies mom! and  then we went on a tour to amanda’s dad’s tire shop. It was the best tour i’ve ever been on. Even though there was a rubber dust fight!! Thanks Amanda. I love getting together with friends it is the best time ever.  We all have so much fun and  enjoy each others company. Thank-you to all my friends for being there for me!!

Spring Break

What I did during spring break was just relax. I did clean most of the house, well the up stairs anyway. But i had a chance to read a few good books which i really enjoyed. They were a western series by Lori Wick about three brothers that feel in love. All three books incorporated God, prayer ,the bible and how it changed their lives, their parents were unbelievers but they end up coming to realize that they need God in their life. I think it was called the Yellow Rose Trilogy, if you ever get a chance to read these it really helped me understand how to tell unbelievers about Christ.  

The weather was so nice I spent a lot of time outside. We had to work in our barn though a few days to get it ready for the summer and all that stuff. But I don’t mind working hard if I have a good reason. We started planting our garden too, with potatoes, lettuce, radishes, and strawberries. So I was so glad to see that it was raining today! grow little plants..!!

And then Saturday Keelie spent the night at my house! Of course we stayed up late watching movies and talking. We watched a Knights Tale, which is one of my all time favorites. And that weekend I also watched Atonement,with Keira Knightly. It was great. The beginning was kinda slow but it got really good as it went along. If your in the mood for a love story/war movie watch this movie!!

And that is pretty much all my spring break. Hope yours was great to!!
