Ready for some relaxation!

Today we had the grand finally to my week full of christmas party's! The youth group party was themed this year and we were supposed to dress up in something from the night before christmas. Well let me tell you it was interesting..... We had characters like..... Soot.... Pastor Brandon in all Black..... Peddler opening his pack.... Pastor Scott...... Clatter.... Miss Sarah and Miss Leanna making way too much noise for my taste..... Ma and Pa.... Isaac and Asa VERY SCARY.... a few people in there pajamas and some reindeer..... and lets not forget my mom as The Night.... it was an interesting night to say the least! Asa won for best overall as Ma, BG won most original as a spoon " Creatures NOT stirring", and the Edwards won family overall as a chimney and stockings. The night was a blast and we laughed alot and had some good food but I'm ready for it to be over all ready. This was the fourth christmas party I've been to this week... I've just been babysitting for most but still this has been WAY to much for me. I'm worn out physically mentally and everyother way possible. Its time for a break.

Will I get one??? probably not. Monday Christmas basket putting together. Tuesdays AHG and Visitation and piano. Wednesday lots of school and church. Thursday well if the weather permits maybe I'll go see some horses if not then maybe I'll go shopping. Friday Family gets in. Saturday Play practice and visiting family. Sunday Christmas play. So when will it stop. I need to have a day of rest but I'm really starting to think that I'm never going to get one. wow this is going way to far.

I need some time to get away... Knit some presents and things like that sleep watch movies and so on and so forth. I'm not gonna blog the rest of my night away. Devos and maybe Polar express. Night

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Today the snow was BEAUTIFUL.... the roads werent very bad till this evening so I absolutely loved the snow. When its not dangerous is when its the best. Me and liz decided to have a snowball fight at her house and when we were finally ready to come in we where DRENCHED and very cold! It was great being able to lay there and watch the moon and Marvel that God Created all of this! wow.... its just amazing. It was soo beautiful as we layed there freezing and playing in the snow and just taking it all in! As I've said before i love snow. its great! And this year I hope we have at least ONE good snow! I'm talking like a foot... or at least 8 inches!! come on!! hahah. Well the day was great Gods hand was shown and I got some christmas shopping done so all is well!

I'm off to bed to do devotions still studying Phillipians 2..... Meditate on these verses I'm memorizing them this week

Phillipians 2:5-8
5: Let this mind be ing you, which is also in Christ Jesus
6: who being the form of God, thought it not robbery to be ewual with God
7: But make himslef of no reputation and ttook upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men
8: And being found in fashionas a man he humbled himself and become obedient unto death even the death of the cross.

I'll post on my study of devo's this week on Wednesday.

Snow, Friends, Babysitting, and Shopping....

Well today I spent my day CLEANING sooo I could go shopping tomorrow with my bestest friend Liz. I was soo busy today I completely forgot to eat... so come 3 I was Starving!! So I attempted to eat but didnt want to eat to much because I knew I would be having dinner soon enough :). So I also had Charis over and we got to sit and knit and chat for a while whick was REALLY nice. I hate when life gets so busy you forget about the people that are there for you. So we got caught up on life and such.

Then I went to Liz's house to have dinner and babysit. Well the baby we were watching is no longer such a baby! She turned 1 yesterday and its pretty crazy! Arianna is one of the SWEETEST babys ever! I just love her to death! she is too cute!! She was a tad cranky tonight but Liz finally got her to sleep which was great but it was just soo precious to sit there and watch her sleep and she was snoring! it was cute! hehe!! The evening was overall great!

And now I'm sitting here thinking about my day tomorrow and Katie keeps coming and reminding me that it is snowing outside. I love snow. Really I do... No lie. I hate the cold unless its snowing then I'm perfectly content with it. But on weeks when I have a lot to do I'd rather it not snow for my and others safety. So all please be safe if you go out in the snow!

So tomorrow I'm really hoping it doesnt snow because I'm going SHOPPING!! yay! I'm really excited and I really do need to get lots of shopping done because I havent shopped for anyone yet! not good! hehe so hopefully I can check off some people off of my lists.

Now I'm gonna go get ready for bed and do my devotions. I'm studying Philipians 2. I'll post more on that later!

Night all....

p.s. 2 weeks and counting till CHRISTMAS!!!

Shawl-Collered Jacket

I have been working on a shawl-collered jacket for a family friends new baby for a few months. Well its not that I have been working on it that long its just I got almost all of it completed in a few weeks but I would hit some bumps like the book being due at the library and running out of yarn. So I was planning on giving it to him for christmas because I knew it would be to big for a while. Well I have the pattern again and I found the sleeve I was working on and lost... hah. So now I'm starting to work on it again.

The pattern wasnt too difficult and now I'm really excited because if I finish this it will be my first sweater ever! ( who cares if its miniature its still a sweater ) So I'll post pics as soon as I'm done which will hopefully be within the next week! yay!

A Day Without Love ..... NOT

Ok well as I was sitting around checking my facebook this morning I noticed that a friend had posted a note about Calling in Gay. Heres What it Says.....

By. Reagan Hale
his wednesday, the lgbt (lesbian, gay, bi, transgender) community will call in to work- gay (instead of sick)...read this website, it's pretty short.. then see why i'm more bewildered than anything.. http://daywithoutagay.org/"A day without gays would be tragic because it would be a day without love."their whole goal that day is to supposedly "fight the H8 with love"... alot of this hate that they're coming up with is self-created. they are the ones labeling the rest of heterosexual america as those who don't know how to show compassion or possess sensitivity! i do care about the individual lives of those in the lgbt community, but that doesn't mean i have to accept their lifestyle! "If you live in one of the 30 states where individuals can still be fired simply for being gay or lesbian, there are still plenty of ways that you can lend a hand and a voice in our fight for gay equality--without missing work."this is just pretty bizarre thinking. hello.. they aren't firing you, because you are gay; they're firing you, because you skipped work. the sad thing is, the other 20 states won't even fire you for skipping work, because it will look like it's done out of hate for gay people. hmm.. ok.. again, i do not hate gays or any of the like. but their efforts to make a difference or make a statement or get their way never seem to collect the respect they were hoping. if all the moral issues were non-existent or overlooked for a second, and the lgbt community was viewed as maybe like a political party, i still would not support them.i don't understand how they think throwing away a day of work makes their group stronger in america. listen here. most americans value their job and many are praying for one right now. for them to "call in gay" to make some statement is like smacking the laid off workers in the face! ok maybe i'm reading way too into this... but it confuses me, upsets me, makes me wonder why..pretty sure if i called in straight, i would be without a job.

Check out the website. Its ridiculous. Its not that I hate Gay people but this is not right. I agree with what reagan has written here completely. just think about this.

Missions Trip

Well our Church youth group is planning a missions trip to Rome, Italy next year. The way it is decided who gets to go is through a point system. Its like if for each day you do you devotions its 50 points and Each church service you attend is a certain ammount of points. You have to have 75% of the possible points to attend. Well as of last night I only have 52% of the possible points. That was SOO depressing! So now I'm working extra hard to be able to exceed the 75% and be able to go on the missions trip! So please pray for me and the missions team. It will take alot of commitment and prayer to make this missions trip work! Thanks so much!

I have a blog!

ok so I have a blog and I'm very excited about it!! this is pretty much going to be about me.... My life as a Homeschooled Teen..... and so on and so forth!! I'll also include pictures and stuff!! so keep coming back!!!! I'll post more later....
