Ok, Katie i'm gonna copy ur idea.. here are some pics of some of my cloesest friends (sry for those of u i don't have pics of... don't hate me plz)

 OK first my best friend for almost nine years... Katie!! or Dorky Dorothy lol (in this pic she was trying to be gangsta but i think she's too pretty to look tough)

And then the Big G (grace) who is so awesome at getting stupid pics. lol

And then finally the two sweetest girls i know... britt and michelle

So yeah again sry to those i don't have pics of....

anyway. these past week was good. i babysat on wednesday and made 45.00 for four hours!! how crazy is that? and then on thursday i volunteered which was fun and there are some really nice people that started volunteering there recently which is cool. oh Katie.. Ricker Adkins is volunteering too! how crazy is that! isn't he like the last person u'd expect to be there? anyway, this brother and sister started helping out and there really nice. I can't remember their names (i'm sooo bad with names) but their really cool. Oh, and then I had spanish class. ugh. that was such a long class. i was super tired and it just seemed to drag on. but senora rivera partnered me up with Andy which was alot of fun. he's so funny... he's like a typical jock... like you'd think that the big dumb jock is just a stereotype but he totally fits the profile it's really funny. but i love my spanish class. everyone in there's so awesome. anyway, today i did school and went to class and then i went over to the Whites and then we went to see the faith baptist falcons play against seaford christian... the guys won 38 to 37 which was an awesome game and the girls lost but they still played really hard so good job to everyone. Well i hope everyone has a great weekend and i hope to see those people in the y.g at the calling tom.  later.

OK, so it's Tuesday and I just finished piano practice and now my right shoulder really hurts... i donno what's wrong with but lately when i practice for like more then like an hour and a half my arms are really sore. so i have to practice an hour in the morning and then like an hour at night. anyway i'm going to stop complaining because I was reading colossians and it said we're to abound in thanksgiving and i know i certainly don't do that but i'm trying.... anyway, today i did school and volunteered and went to walmart. then i ate dinner and practiced and now i'm here typing this... i really need to go do homework so i have to end this but my weekend was good.. oh i saw king kong which was awesome i def. recommend seeing it if you haven't already except it has foul language in it which was not cool but otherwise it was really good... i cried at the end (i know that's really pathetic but what can i say.. i'm a cry baby i guess) oh and today elliott kept coming up with this stupid rhymes like how cheese is the food that is to please it was pretty funny but then it started getting annoying cuz he like wouldn't stop and i was trying to do math and my mom kept yelling at me for talking to him. anyway that was totally random but i love my bro. and i'm happy he's home even if he does get me in trouble and argue with me that men are better drivers then women (and that's like so not true). welllll hugs to all. later

Ok, I know I haven't updated since last year (wow that's a weird thing to say) but things just got really busy and stuff. But anyway classes started again at Del Tech and I'm still volunteering...umm... Elliott's home for the semester going to Del Tech with me... Piano's going really well... i'm still looking for a part time job... I've really learned to trust God these past few months and it was goal to be much bolder about my faith at Del Tech this year and I actually started talking to this lady in my Spanish class about the Lord and I found she's a Christian which was really cool... it's just scary sometimes speaking about my faith because i'm afraid that it's not going to turn out right or i'm going to say the wrong thing.. but I've found that God will give me the words I just need to be bold and remember 2 Tim. 1:7 (For God has not given us the spirit of fear...) yeah anyway i'm starting to ramble and stuff so i'll stop but just wanted to update... hugs to ya'll

ooo i found this great quote the other day and i figured i'd put it on here... so here it is (o en espanol aqui esta) .... "Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?" -Horace
